Bosses & channels reduce

I agree with this. Right now even without the channel reductions, alot of KSing is going on and things get really ugly fast with boss hunting for monster cards. Some of the bosses with low drop rates (Mushmom, Zmom) feels like a race sometimes with the other classes where NL's and Mages have a bigger advantage because of FJ and teleport. It would be great if bosses would spawn more frequently/at another map to give other classes a chance, especially with the possible reduction of channels.

 

I wouldnt mind this idea, especially with a channel reduce coming up.

However i'd like to point out that people's behavior is a worse concern. This is a friendly server, but ever since monstercards boss ks'ing became an issue. I dont like where that is going.

 

Other than my rate of DCs probably going up, I'm actually pretty excited for crowds in reduced channels like the old times. I'd like it too if boss spawn frequency increased a little bit too to compensate (for the lack of 3-5 bosses?), but I think it's also the inconsiderate KSers who are the bigger issue here.

 

Honestly, I never encountered ksers when I'm hunting bosses, but I heard others encountering them before (this was before monsterbook was a thing).
I don't think there are alot of people who KS bosses here, maybe its a big issue and I'm just oblivious to it.

 

I think we need a bit more variance in boss spawn timers so that the bosses can't be monopolized so easily by a single person or their friends by giving them the timers. As it stands +/- 10% isn't much of a difference.

If we made it -40% and +10%, that would increase boss spawn rate overall, plus widen the variance in spawn time to enough degree that one could never be certain if the boss was killed by someone else, or it simply hadn't respawned yet over multiple channels.

 

YES...we deffinitly need less spawn time...
I find myself spending hours a day just camping a map instead of playing and having fun.
it's really demotivating.

also...some creatures that aren't bosses should have..more of them..

like dark yeti & pepe...I think there should be a hidden street added to el nath with them....

 

Due to the introduction of monster book, it has come to our attention that KSing is a common issue raised by many hence we implemented our TnC, covering KSing:

3.3 Harassment - All forms of harassment will not be tolerated. This includes rude, hateful, abusing, threatening, or otherwise objectionable behavior both in-game or on the forums. We don’t expect everyone to be best friends with each other, but we simply ask that you respect one another. We have zero tolerance for comments targeting a player’s race, ethnicity, gender, religious beliefs, or sexuality.

Harassment also covers intentionally kill stealing and/or looting someone else’s Monster Book Card (which will now be owned by the mapowner). Hence, both cases will be settled by using the @mapowner command, which displays the player who owns the map. For the Jr Balrog map specifically, the one who first entered the map will have pseudo-mapowner, and has the right to ask other players to CC. This is proven by a screenshot with the @time command used. Depending upon the severity of the actions, the punishment may vary, with the possibility of warnings given out for lighter offenses. Punishment: 1st Offense: 3 Day Ban: 2nd Offense: 7 Day Ban; 3rd Offense: Account Ban

With this new ruling, we've significantly seen a drop in such complaint cases. As for channel reduction, currently we are still in the midst of setting things straight and doing our best to adjust according to our player count. Due to recent events, we will be coming back to touch on this topic once we are done with on-hand tasks.
