Hello!
Just as a preface: These are just thoughts, not complaints. I've really enjoyed playing here and just thinking of things that could make it better!I'm pretty new to EZ Server and I have really appreciated the awesome community and help everyone has been so willing to offer. It's been pretty amazing actually.
As I've been playing it's pretty intense to get past some of the lower levels of the server.
I've enjoyed the challenge of some areas, but others just seem SUPER grindy, especially with randomization.
I loved PoDragons being able to turn in junk to get a proper piece when it sometimes seems like the SAME slot keeps dropping for the wrong class.
I would also love a "Farm Zone", it seemed like there used to be one, but it's now gone? Proving Grounds? I don't know why that disappeared, but it'd be great to have a zone where we could consistently farm essences a
little easier, would be cool to have a drop rate scale with difficulty or something like that? Hail a mob and select a Tier difficulty, all essences up to X drop, and drop rate just increases after X with difficulty, makes it better for top tier peeps to farm, etc. I personally loved farming in Arthicrex, because of the giant pulls I was able to get going.
This 4th of July was my first event and it was AWESOME. I played TOO much though in that short time; I would love to have smaller or zone specific events more regularly. Like turn on the event for a specific zone (Hot Zones style) that rotates every weekend or weekly or whatever.
So, QoL Thoughts:
#1. Add in a similar mechanic to Tiers 1-6ish as PoDragons, and possibly a boss-select token for Abyss that's super rare
1a. Basically, just allowing a little curve on the randomization, so that we don't spend 90% of our time on that ONE LAST drop/boss
#2. Add back in? a farm zone, or a new version of it. Possibly scaling to allow more essence drops or drop rates for higher tier difficulty.
2a. Selectable tier difficulty up to Tier X, to help people get farm a little easier on the lower tiers.
#3. Weekend/weekly events
3b. Rotating by zone or more frequently but just for a couple hours or something
I'm no where near the endgame, so other people there may want to weigh in. I've really enjoyed playing on this server and want to express my gratitude for the players and Akkadius for keeping this place alive
These are ONLY suggestions and thoughts, I realize this may take more time from Akkadius, but hopefully there's either someone that could help him (I'm happy to volunteer, but I'm still super new to the server). I'm a Software Engineer, (but hate DevOps) so if you need scripts written to help facilitate, I'd be happy to help.
