Increase the number of channels during events

I'd argue that the number of channels should be increased outside of events, back when the server had ~500 online regularly there was 6 channels, now there is almost 3-4x that and only 2 more channels.

 

IMO the problem is also the level restrictions for finding the daily items forcing you into certain areas. There are only so many lvl 100+ monsters to grind on. I think it would be more interesting if you were assigned a mob within a reasonable level range each day to hunt for your daily items. Would force people to spread out.

 

I legit love this idea because not only would it force people to spread out, you could encounter mobs or areas you wouldn't otherwise ever see.

 

Himes is impossible to find a spot on during events. 1st post lists a few others

 

I think she meant she wants us to suggest underused maps that can be buffed to become usable.

But if its possible to just fix this by adding dungeons to popular maps then yeah himes, gs2, gs5, gs1, gallos, ulu2, petris, cds, skeles, 5-6F, and 7F would all be popular candidates to receive dungeons.

 

Well lets add sudden death in those maps then. so the users on the map will always change cuz they die.

 

Add dungeons to the meta maps

 

More instances of mini dungeons would be nice. I recall that GMS had 20 instances of each mini dungeon, but even 4 extra instances (for a total of 5) of the skele dungeon would help with the traffic jam on present paper collecting a lot, since that's 32 extra maps when counting all channels.

 

Or you can just lower the amount of mobs in the maps that are always full..

 

I don't see how this will help. This will just make them take longer for the next person to have access to the map.

 

It makes people consider other maps maybe?

 

There are other maps that have yet to be used despite being available since the decrease in level restriction (95+). Have y'all really exhaust all your other options? Deep Ludi with the new teleports has been a god-send for me and many others.

 

Black Kentaurus are a pretty good alternative to Himes for priests that need to heal to do damage. Only downside is they're level 88, so they aren't farmable for events.

 

I unfortunately do not have a priest character. But I have found alternatives to Himes, its just soloing for my class is a little rough because I'm in the early stages of 120 so my new skills aren't exactly spectacular so it takes me a while to go through a mob's 60k+ HP.

 

Buff the spawn and exp of red nose den 2! It got a buff post bb

Also the exp to hp ratio is pretty bad on these as well

 

Not saying that we definitely need more channels, but to be fair it wouldn't just be 3 more users that get a meta map since there are many relevant meta maps that are always full. To list a few popular maps that are usually full,

Shaolin 5-6
Shaolin 7F
Skeles 1st map
Skeles 2nd map
Skeles 2nd map mini dungeon
Petris
Ulu2
GS2
GS5
Himes
Burning land V
Purple plains
Mannequins
Leprechauns
Voodoo/Hoodoo

I'm sure there are some more maps I'm not thinking of, but this is at least 15 maps, which means that an extra 45 users can have meta maps. While there can be 2k players online, the actual amount of players looking to farm in one of these meta maps is actually much smallers, so the extra 45 slots is very much a non-negligible effect.

 

5 x disagree but noone cares to explain why.. Is it because everything always has to be a buff or am I missing something here?

Seems logical to me to buff/nerf the outliers so people actually have a reason to leave those highly contested maps once in a while.

 

The reason I disagree is because the maps aren't just chosen for the spawn count. They are also chosen for the ease of access and the map layout. Lowering spawn count during events doesn't seem like a practical fix. "there arent enough meta maps for everyone so let's make it so there are less viable meta maps" doesn't help when there's a surplus of people trying to find a map vs amount of maps available.

Yes I know there are other maps that can be used like deep ludi. These aren't popularly used because most 120+ users aren't anywhere close to ludi when they regularly play and it can take a long time to go out there (like 15 to 30 min) so the accessibility is not appealing.
