Reverse-QoL for endgame content

airto

Even with lower rates, leveling parties still won’t be a thing past 200 cause the power scaling is absolutely bonkers with the current trait system.

And we gotta remember that nowadays kRO has a lot of ways to just boost urself to 200, be it trough promotion or specific gears that makes 2nd/3rd classes extremely strong.

Not gonna spiral too much into it, but one of the main reasons party play went downhill is that Gravity refuses to understand one of its main systems is in dire need of a update— their looting system is still stuck in 2002. Even tho we have higher drop rates, "even share" isn’t actually even when you’re fighting your friends for loot. Since it’s all about one-shotting and speedrunning for efficiency now, having more people with you just messes up your ability to farm properly. We became an ARPG, without the ARPG main mechanics.

Imo the only reason we see parties for D1 and D2 is because the quest system exists, without the quests? Yeah, not a chance.

There's so much I want to write, and I've deleted several paragraphs already, but I think I'll make it simple for you: Lower the exp rate, so that people understand the server they're joining, rather than being fooled into playing a mid rate, with a 1x end game. People will come here for courtesy based on the rates, not intentional struggle. This is a far bigger issue than you think.

I doubt we'll see a change on that tbh.
Especially not at this time.
But man, I wish more midrates servers went low exprates + mid droprates instead of the other way around all the time.

As for OP's suggestion in itself, I see the points made but I'm really not convinced.

Wait... I farm and farm and I still haven't managed to reach my goals. I don't want MUH RO to have the same experience as an official server. It's funny that the people who dare to suggest this kind of thing are ALWAYS people who are already full endgame. You're endgame, great! And who just arrived? You don't have much time to play, you have family, children, work and you only come here to have fun... that suggestion was very selfish on your part.

If it's boring being in the endgame.. how about selling all your equipment, buying BB and opening it and starting all over again?

This isn't a bad idea tbh, or you could start a different class of builds that you haven't made. There's plenty to choose from such as magic, range crit, melee crit, pure range, pure melee, hp scale melee, hp scale range. There's even BG and woe to play with.

Most will argue that RNG sucks and I agree. But tbh low chance RNG is the easiest way to extend a grind for new stuff. Like Depth 2 for instance, I doubt anyone already have level 9 enchant let alone level 10 in their TDRC. Players could start working on that if they really want a challenge.

coffee I got to maxed out gear in just 2 months after joining the server and I played casually during that period and had my own job handle, I don't know what else to say other than you should re-evaluate your strategy from the sound of it.

Besides, should end-game players be ignored just because we're in the endgame?

We reached maxed out gear so we should be ignored, thrown to the side and have our enjoyment ignored?

Your perspective to disregard endgame players because you're struggling to farm sounds multitudes more selfish than anything else I've seen on the forums.
I can acknowledge making it more difficult to farm would make it harder for struggling players to reach the endgame but if your goal is to have fun playing the game then shouldn't all parts of the game be enjoyable?
If the game is only fun once you reach endgame then I'd see that as another problem in of itself, it's not one I've personally experienced but if you feel the trip up to endgame isn't enjoyable then it's definitely something worth making a forum suggestion for.

CongaLyne Yes, your suggestion is completely selfish... you've reached the end of the game and you're suggesting that from now on the life of those who haven't reached it yet will become more difficult? Why is that?

If you want the experience of an OFFICIAL server, how about thinking about playing on another server?

Not everyone has the same amount of time, sometimes people don't do anything else in their lives other than play RO, so in 2 months it can become endgame.

That's not my case and I'm sure it's not the case for many, especially those who haven't reached the end of the game yet.

CongaLyne You reached endgame. You're not supposed to have content, because you beat the content. That's why it's endgame. You did it, grats. Here is your reward - Make your own fun now, because that's the goal of owning all that gear. You can also help others reach their end game. You can actually become an active community handler, doing all the content that other people need, instead of being self serving all the time.

People who rush all of this gear, end up with the same symptom: Your system. Perhaps, you, and all those others who are in this strange predicament, can think of something to do. Use your imagination, and goodluck. All of us have things to do, like trying to run CT with our friends who are nowhere near your level, and we're not looking for anymore challenges than we already have. Thank you for your consideration, but no.

Damn, this is some peak art imitates life stuff: it's essentially Baby Boomers pulling up the ladder behind them, to prevent newer generations from achieving similar success.

(sorry for digressing)

-2 for this if you feel bored & maxed out your gear maybe a take a short break instead like me.

when I joined this server about 1 Month I am maxed out +12 of my end game gear( to be honest no life only grind ) , yet I still find this server interesting to play with 😉

also agreed with end game lvling exp adjustment ;
eg : 275 lvl onwards force to be max x5 exp or lower etc

Duplicated …..?
