    Hey,

    Since there has been quite a bit of downtime, sifting through bugs and sorting things out etc.

    I was wondering whether it'd be too much to ask if the server was to have a little drop event for 24 hours when everything is sorted out?

    I know it's not your guys' fault due to somebody being a little bitch and crying about getting banned or whatever the reason they're DDoSing for, but I thought that a x2 drop rate event would be good as it'd get people to start the grind again!

    The only reason I suggested a x2 drop rate event is because it won't have as much impact as a x2 XP event, sure if someone is farming for those 24 hours then they'd make what they would in 48 hours, but still. It's a minor.

    Personally I'd love a x2 drop rate event! F3

    If you think this is a stupid idea and that it will affect the economy too much, then imo it won't. Due to the fact 50% of the economy is from Gacha anyway, increasing drop rate for 24 hours will only change mob drops not gacha, so IMO it won't make that much of a difference.

    Then again, I don't know how much x2 drop rate would affect mobs and that, but I heard x2 drop rate coupons were being considered, so a x2 drop rate event will show us how OP it is I guess.

    This is all considering that the Admins accept the idea in the first place, please vote as to whether you'd like it or not.

    Not until they fix LMPQ first, or else you'll see people jumping from 50 to 70.

    Also perhaps 2x is too much, maybe 1.2 to 1.5x would be better, and not the entire 24 hours, but maybe increased rates for 1 hour every few hours or something like that (that's how MSEA did it at least), seeing that our drop rates for some items are already higher than GMS rates by a bit.

    Yes, I see what you're saying.

    1.2 - 1.5 does sound better to be honest.

    Does drop rate affect the drop rate of those tickets specifically the x50 tickets?

    For example, if the drop rate was x2 in LMPQ, it means it has x2 chance to drop tickets. However, it doesn't mean x2 chance to drop 50 Tickets as the Tauromacis can also drop 1 ticket, so it would be increasing the rate of ticket drops by 100%, therefore you would still sometimes get x2 1 tickets? Even so, 50-70 isn't too big of a jump, it's an event and I don't mind if a lot of people jump from 50-70 as it's only low levels.

    Tauros only drop 50x tickets if I recall correctly as someone mentioned. 50~70 is not that easy of a grind (if you look at grinding ludi/GS mobs), which is already much easier thanks to LMPQ, increased drop rates would make it too easy. Right now I believe levelling from 50+ is easier than 45~50 on mobs/LPQ because of broken exp on LMPQ.

    I'm kinda afraid if we start having exp/drop rate events every time some script kiddy attacks the server, then our own players will start doing it just to have an event. I say avoid exp/drop multiplier events at all costs.

    Well it's not necessarily JUST due to the lag, there's also that slight problem with the bug on stackable items.

    Plus the server (yes, the server is relatively 'new') hasn't had a drop rate increase before, or any event of that type.

    The only events we've had are the jump ones and GM buff events, which are good, but some of us don't really benefit from the events, sure HS is nice, but if you know someone with a HS mule it doesn't make any difference.

    I understand where you are coming from, but if the community is like that, then some people just need to take a break and have a kit-kat.

    2x would be to high imo, would for example be possible to get like 8+ gfa60`s in an hour with that if you are lucky :poop:
    something between 1-2x would be much better if we get one OnionRelax

    I say we should leave the rates as they are no matter what. I think earlier I said that I might like increased drop rate possibility but I've changed my mind since then
