For a long time i have been posting in forum some solution like this for time zones, if NGD pointed in the same direction of my ideas is sure a good step to me. (i am not american, dont even care what you do to your president)

I am not a know it all... I will be the first to ask a question to find out more information. Direct attacts are not needed. Have you been on AMUN? Have you tested max and min range from forts? Have you tested anything related to the gems? What level are you? Are you a warmaster? Do you care about the future players of this game? Have you considered how frustrated people will be with the gem lock option? The wise man admits that he knows not, while the fool continues to rant about being wise.

GEM LOCK IS A SCREWED UP IDEA THAT LOCKS DOWN PEOPLE DURING A TIME WHEN THEY ARE ABLE TO PLAY. WHAT IF YOU WERE THE ONES THAT GOT LOCKED DOWN, AND YOU NEVER GOT TO TAKE THE GEMS! YOU CANT QUIT YOUR JOB OR STOP GOING TO SCHOOL JUST TO PLAY DURING A TIME WHEN THE GEMS ARE UNLOCKED. IT IS WRONG PERIOD NO MATTER WHAT!

If you still don't see it keep your selfish motives and enjoy the karma that is headed your way. I am finished with this topic. All points have been made. Bye

Calm down.

Let us put it in this way: being invasions and portal-openings events that can affect ALL the game characters, it's not fair for the people playing on low-activity hours to be able to affect the entire server population.

Am I wrong?

Anyway, let's see what happens. If it doesn't go well we'll remove this, it's as simple as that.

What you said is not fair, but by limiting others in reverse is also not fair!

Admit it.

I am fully capable of sitting and waiting to see what will happen.

I know too well how things get changed when people cry, "IT'S NOT FAIR"

This is the main cause of all our nerfs.

Look at shortbow dual shot skill.

NGD raised it to casting time 1 second because they did not want hunters to be assassins. That was the explanation given. Now we get camo skill to boost our first attack 150 damge, making us attack from camo, plus our pets vanish when we use camo. This drives more people to chose camo and not use pet, since the pet revive skill takes so long to cooldown and it cannot be used when you are being attacked.

Surakor, I would like dual shot to be put back to .5 seconds casting time, or increase the casting time of sheild peirce to 1 second casting time. That has been my cry of "it's not fair forever that no one has seemed to hear."

You say you will remove it... what about dual shot being put back? It never happened.

I am calm, just quasi passionate about keeping regnum fun and alive. I don't want to see this game fail. I don't even like the idea of raven server taking all the new people I invite away.

A ha! The real reason behind this (and any thread you create)!

Either NGD limits the night crew (let's say 10 players) or the night crew limits (annoys, portal openings, blabla) everyone else on the server. (let's say 100+ players)

Now what's unfair?

Calm down, you seem to be the only one raging because of this anyway.

My motives are not selfish.

People should be allowed to play 100% without anything major punishment to them because the enemy realm has few players.

Dragon gems effect WM coins.

It would be different if the gems had another purpose.

WM coins are needed.

There are some people that will never be able to obtain gems because of their limited time to play during certain hours. I see how this can effect players that have underpopulated realms. All ngd has to do is promote a realm swap, allowing people to change realms to the side that is under populated only.

I am calm and I am not raging.... I am sitting here eating candy.

Consider me an early warning system.

You can stay and enjoy the flood waters and earthquakes.

Regardless of whatever is said, what will happen will happen.

Peace be with you.

No Matt,

This was said in response to Surakors message about if something does not work out they will revert to something that does work.

The reasons for nerfing dual shot are no longer here, and it did not get reverted. Simple as that.

------------------------------------

I won't be returning to this thread, mock me, laugh, say what you will, does not matter. Has it ever? Look where we are and what we have and have not. All due to nerfs and hindered growth/fun.

Then surely allowing them to transfer their accounts to a server better suited to their timezone would be a better solution?
