hope i didnt make annyone mad.

ill keep the info for clan only, as someone suggested.

Killuminati · 04-11-2008, 10:32 PM

lol, keep the drops to yourself!!! don't go tellin everyone now.

delete your post! HURRY!!

**this is not a joke**

josjikawa · 04-11-2008, 10:45 PM

sigh, why keep everything for yourself with only less then 20 people on at most, i said it earlier in chat also. i rather make a nice tight community instead of acting selfish. theres some that just dont know what to hunt (me 2 =p) so i thought it would be nice to have a list like this. why u want me to delete this? afraid of spots beeing camped? i was sharing a mob earlier just fine.. really i dont see the issue.

Mireillu · 04-13-2008, 08:35 AM

Basically, the reason why you don't want to post info like this, is because some PKer will come at you with equipment you will have told him how to find

More seriously, some of these drops may still be in the live game when it'll be out, and drops for high level stuff used to be classified info that clans used to share only to their members...

Dunno if you figured out those drops all by yourself...but i doubt it, and it's very possible that people who told you didn't want everyone to be told about it... just an assumption here, tho.

Visorak06 · 04-13-2008, 10:38 AM

Yea...it's a find it thing.

Killuminati · 04-13-2008, 11:32 AM

if everyone knew them, then they wouldn't be as rare or worth as much. and they would most likely be changed around. and thats no good now is it? ^^

Destruction · 04-13-2008, 11:46 AM

I can see both sides of this but to be honest, at this time.. I can't really see it making a difference. For one, its going to be wiped. Two, the people on now may or maynot continue to play.

I use play alot waaaaaay back when, and things were different then. I still cant find my way through Fire Town though... HINT>>a map would be great of FT<<HINT.

Alot of us are on at different times and asking for help in Guild or in the open is not always.. fruitful.

Yeah I can see hanging on to it.. but its still a random drop thing and the point of this is for all to try the game out and identify bugs and what not. If only a limited number of people have access to the items, then it also limits the results of tweaks and mods needed to clean the game up. Poor armor usually equates to limited exploration, and some of us...myself included have limited memories of the game from when we played.
Just a thought from a starting over from scratch point of view.

josjikawa · 04-13-2008, 02:47 PM

well i guess i wont update this list annymore unless allot of people ask for it lol.

Destruction · 04-13-2008, 02:49 PM

I will..

Forb · 04-13-2008, 09:54 PM

Just my point of view, people usually keep these kind of things between themselves and close friends, this is the kind of information that makes you rich and powerful in the game obviously, so do you want everybody to be rich and powerful or just you and your friends?

Visorak06 · 04-14-2008, 04:17 AM

Well said man.

BlanK · 04-14-2008, 03:58 PM

I'd rather just kill everything and find out that way.

... Or grief someone until they tell me.... Yes.... That works well too...

8bitmessiah · 06-28-2008, 01:58 PM

its a good idea to keep them to yourself because you know helping new players is stupid and it will be so much better when the game is shut down because of all the new players getting stuck and quiting from lack of info and help ya man keep it to yourself silly.... you guys just don't get it

solodynasty · 06-29-2008, 03:55 PM

8bit..You are wrong. Who would want to play a game where everything is handed to them? Thats the point of a game. Explore and discover. If everything is handed to em they will get good, get bored, and quit. You can give them information from lower quests but there needs to be a limit. 15 armor drop is best armor in the game to get and it wont help to much to give that info to everyone...

8bitmessiah · 07-03-2008, 01:39 PM

Solo give me a break every other mmo out there has guides and they fare well when you horde information on rare drops all your doing is killing the game, you say explore? exploring wont help with rare drops how are you to know what to kill you will have to hunt down every mob and kill them for days on end and even then maybe you just didn't get lucky how are you to know there is no damn info its RETARDED so just cut the BS all your trying to do is corner the market on a game with very few players as it and force them to shell out money to the old players for there armor this whole old school clique thing is what is helping destroy this game how cool will you sound saying "Im oldschool" when the server goes down for good. I can see maybe the lvl 15 armor info being withheld but thats about it.

Blobz · 07-03-2008, 02:46 PM

The drops are not the same as they were before... so your whole "old school" argument is completely invalid, it's just the good players not giving out the information that they worked to get.

8bitmessiah · 07-03-2008, 03:21 PM

I did not know the spawns had change but that still doesn't change that info hording does nothing but hurt the game and also finding rare spawns has nothing to do with talent so that whole "good player" angle your working is invalid the spawns should be most likely hinted at within the quest if not given out, havin to randomly luck your way into finding them is not "skilled" or very logical.

lemmera · 07-03-2008, 03:37 PM

Most of the arguments are valid ones from all sides of the board. Hording drops is a bad idea of sorts for some of the reasons stated above. I remember the old days where whole guilds on a consistent daily basis had the markets cornered on sales of rare drop items and would fight tooth and nail if you entered their so called territory. If you wanted the item in question you would pay the price asked as the information to "where did you get that item" was top secret and guilds would tell no one.

This game is made to have fun, meet new people and explore whats in front of you, NOT to level your avatar in one month and get bored. The game IS NOT intended for an individual to get rich at others expense just because they have the secret location to drop X and then exploit it.

Using rare drop locations is OK but not when it causes in game war among players as I have personally seen spill over to the forums and then turns into flamers corner.

bottom line use good sense on when to tell and when not to tell, Also remember the information you horde today may come back to haunt you tomorrow.

Well being one of the few, if not only players that doesn't have previous experience in this game from my point of view if i have to hunt for armor for hours while getting pk'ed then i will just quit. I mean its bad enough that I would be hunting every mob possible, but now I have to survive pk'ers I have no chance defending myself against. I'm hunting armor to be competitive with others. The people with said knowledge are trying to prevent me from being competitive. I know older players won't like this idea, but I think this is what most new players would do. Just my opinion.

Ever since Beta...people have left for reasons like this. Some, I along with many others can say good riddence...others may have been fun to have around.

I'd like to see more player interaction at all levels...
And more incentives for people to stick around

Hellbinder · 07-08-2008, 02:18 PM

The answer is simple...

Make te game more PVP based with more PVP areas and options and sell the equipment at the TP. Make the game more about Clan PVPing than Murdering and give people the option to buy the items not just quest for them.

MAke quests for other kinds of enhancements or "special" versions of the armor and weapons. But have basic ones at the TP so people can at least be competative.

oh.. and again.. make the PVP more interesting so everyon e can really get into it and thats what keeps the players in the game.

i would truly dislike to see the game more PvP based.
personally, i have a pretty bad connection which doesnt allow me to PvP with any pleasure.
I get more fun out of earning my way through the game. by doing the quests, by earning the guns. i find that to be fun.
and i know that may not be amusing for others, but everyone has their own opinions on that.
the game has so many different aspects of fun (questing, PvP, PKing, shooting just random stuff, etc.). if any of those were removed, the game would not be the same Endless Ages that people love and keep coming back to.

Nite · 07-08-2008, 07:17 PM

I agree with nicole on this one. If it wasnt for quests I would have left long ago. A level 15+ pickin on a level 12 is tons of fun.

Kermit · 07-08-2008, 08:33 PM

Everyone gets info from everyone. Even if clans are hording info that doesn't mean one person won't leak it to his friend in a different clan. from there it snowballs and then almost everyone knows.

Blatant posting on the forum isn't a good idea cause you'd get KOS'd and all that crap by others. Plus without posting it you can filter out how fast the d-bags you hate get the info :P
