[Haven] Instances and Server Activity - Page 3

The issue with instances is that they provide fast access to fights with little effort so it's hard for players not to dislike them (I liked them and still do)..... but in my opinion, the cost of these instances far exceeds the benefit. At least with the current population in Haven.

Have to agree with most of what Bois wrote.

Players should create their own fun, not have it served to them in the form of mini games. Too late for that i guess, RO will be more and more of a theme park from now on.

well it wont be fun at all... every realm will just gem constantly invaded when there are few defenders there will be constant gate camp and inner realm would be chaos for new players cause of all the hunter that can get in soo this idea is terrible

An 8x8x8 in a choked space is no replacement for the fun of a full blown war on a place like Momo island.
Simple fix : No instance. Open Momo island to certain mid levels, all realms ( in the persistent world) and let them war there for control of the statues. Why would somebody make code and let it sit idle? Let the SGM control its availability.

Dragons. Instance them all. Instance Daen Rha, Eve and Thorkul. Make portal openings forge a path by wish to these super bosses.
Dragons are instanced so that any realm can get to any dragon. Make their availibilty contingent on activity in war and be one of the spoils of victory. Have lower level versions of the dragons for mid levels. These are also instanced. This way you can recycle bosses and not have to keep making more.

just wanted to mention that we are still working on this two things...

even on instancing Rha, Eve and Thork?
the situation at wz-bosses is a farce, 50 knights lvl 50, 2 barbs lvl 60 who didn't understand they won't loot anything

This is good to know. I am sure many new and mid level players would enjoy this feature when it comes on stream.

Boss item whores may not be liking either you or me very much when the bosses eventually get instanced depending on the implementation

. No worries Chilko, if it doesn't work you can blame me for the idea. At least you guys got some money when everyone started growing knights to get drops haha.

By the way Phlue4, instancing those monsters gives NGD a whole lot more options in terms of regulation and control of spawning, rewards, distribution of spoils, XP, gold and many other things. It is a superior way to manage them . Also , they can instance different levels of the same code to give , for example, different strengths of Daen Rha. In other words they can generate much more cost effective and profitable content in less time.

From my understanding, NGD stated they would rework the entire boss drop system to make it fair for everyone. So why should there be a mass of knights? There was a post about this not too long ago, try looking it up.

Notice the tense of my statement. Past tense.
Simplification : The current system favoured Knights so everyone started growing them. Ergo, NGD probably made some money.

My statements before and after that confirms above that I am familiar with NGD's post and concur that instancing will solve the problem.
