New GamezBD

How about we try once again (for the umpteenth time) to improove (how it sounds) our servers?

Lets say that the SD (Special-Deals) Partying is still behaving ineffectively, well the thing is; I cannot help but notice the items that would improove (not how its spelled) the overall outcome of SD'ing (even though the concept of Special-Deals has been completely removed from the game so it should really be renamed), are currently being sold at lower and lower prices.

If you can see what items are dropping in the areas you like to go and do "SD-Party" in, then it stands to reason that only "trolls" would continually put them on the Central-Market at the lowest price possible, specifically to hurt the entire community's efforts to make SD'ing a viable source for silver income. I keep seeing items that drop in Mediah and Valencia being sold at minimum prices and this brings the price down for the SD'ing as well, which really makes NO sense at all, unless of course it is being done on purpose, although I do have to say that the language barrier (people who know an international language and those who do not) might play a big role in this.

So I suggest that EVERYone who does know the international language English, translate this message into whatever language, or part of the world where it is against popular belief to actually learn a different language, they use and to spread the word:
You want good SD? Then buy/sell the items that drop in the areas you like for maximum price.
That way we will all gain some wonderful SD'ing silver income.

A couple of things that I personally think might improove (how it sounds) the entire community, at least in comparison to the "Retail-BDO":

1. First of all, finally once and for all, fix the entire Combat-system, so that there are roll-to-hit being made, as well as a proper Evasion handling, and of course a proper Combat-Effects-system that disallows Combat-Effects to continually "lock" a player from responding to an attack.

2. Fix ALL class-skill bugs, once and for all, which will make a proper use of ALL classes, instead of leaving it the way it is now where there are only a couple of classes "ruling" over the entire game.

3. Make some changes to the way the core-game is designed, so that it is possible to disable ALL the "giant" messages almost contantly flooding the screen (in the middle blocking view), for everything from Workers accomplishments, to loot drops. It is NOT a necessity to be barraged by constant messages, since this isn't a TV-program continually interrupted by commercials.
Perhaps this could be made into a special feature for Premium-Users only, which will certainly increase server-income.

4. Fix the "small" bugs that are annoying as hell, such as broken Auto-Routes, the processing bug where while you are processing you are unable to do anything in the game until the process is complete; no storage-transport specifcally. Anything else that makes the game annoying instead of enjoyable should be added here.

Right now I am out of ideas...but there is one last thing that irritates me; we have been waiting for the "Black Spirit Olympics" (the other mini-game in the main-menu) for over a year now, and there has been NO word about whether it will EVER be introduced or not.
Things like this do make players uneasy about the future of this project, and can make some players just quit our server because of it.

So while I acknowledge ALL your hard work and sacrifices staff of GamezBD -and GameZ in general- I would like to know without a doubt; How do you intend this project to progress?

Is the server receiving enough donations in order to amp up the development team?

Are you REALLY locked into a law-binding "contract", that states that you are ONLY able to make very small changes to the core-game-mechanics, OR are you simply unable to access some of the core-game-mechanics in order to make the changes necessary?

Will it REALLY kill the server-project -or the teamwork of the staff- if you try to make a statement about the future of this project?

Thankfully, and very appreciative of all your work,

Bloodhawks Family

 

Well....we definitely new a new update for this game. All class traditions/successions to be implemented (Including fix for Skill add-on).
I dont know how many players will do SMH (Sea monster hunt) and go dive underwater to gather i dont know what corals but ... it is what it is.
Maybe give us the Guardian with or without Awakening.
Or u can even edit the loot tables for some areas and give certain items for grinding there. Here i can name Ogre ring that can be obtained only by farming Ogres which are few, spawn hard and the chance to get a ring is very hard. Here you can put Ogre ring as drop to a certain area to make that zone live again. (Same goes for Lyanten power stone - can be put as drop on certain areas)

I still wait for a new update to hit us but untill then i just afk for the pearls....

 

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

Your answer was well understood and didn't actually need a lot of extra words, you made yourself perfectly clear

There are so many things I would like to comment on...think I will start with the current work you are doing. It is indeed awesome that you are so dedicated to the project and once again I will have to thank you personally @Kolka. So Thanks! 1-4 answers are quite clear, especially when it comes to the hard work for you developers with the Constantly changing Combat-system, and so now I understand the difficulty of the job you have to do, also when it comes to the "small" bugs.

About the 3rd thing I mentioned, I just thought it would be a really good idea to have a suggestion box for a User-Interface rework...some will want the new "Retail-BDO" look, while others will advocate for GamezBD making their own version, and I just want more options, to be able to change the flashing messages for instance the ones for loot, which are quite large, and since you can put the loot-tracker into the chat-window, then there is no need to have it constantly flashing on the screen in big format. I have noticed that it does slow down my performance when those messages flash across my screen, whether it be workers or loot or whatever, my old-PC stutters and lags, however it COULD be due to the "loot-roll" our client makes (just a guess) that makes it slow down.

It is indeed WONDERFUL to me that you are ALREADY working on the next Big -Expansion, it is indeed an extremely underused area of the game-world the ocean-adventures in general now. So it will be an awesome addition to the GamezBD-servers in my opinion...can hardly wait

Yeah I am well aware of the fact that GamezBD takes the number ONE spot for the BEST private server on the entire market at the moment, so CONGRATULATIONS GamezBD! Which in turn also makes it possible to have more money for better "tech" and connection-speed, as well as better salaries for the entire permanent staff-members who actually make this a side-income, if not a full-time job
So would it be possible to invite or just hire another developer for the "extra"-workload that is upcomming, such as the big-expansion and the new class and so on?

Okay...the server-merge or new server thing is not my main concern, since the players will arrive and leave as the tides of the oceans ebb and flow. So it is difficult to cater to some players who might not stick around for too long, but then again it might make the GamezBD site even greater in attracting more players in general
I would advocate for a new server, just to avoid the terrible time-zone problem and of course the connection lag. BUT then the question is, where to base the server and what should the content be?

Would it perhaps be an idea to make a SEA-server or perhaps a East-EU/Russian-server?
Maybe make a pure PvP server with maximum gear and level from start?

Many questions arise from those two questions though...such as how badly would the PvP-server affect the two that already exist...would they become completely empty
Would the same happen if you were to make a seperate server for another part of the world

Well, that will be a problem for the future hopefully not something that you will be working on too hard, at least not until we got these two servers working satisfactory and therefore attracting a lot more new players to the GamezBD site.

 

Actually... No one will ever do SMH again, because SMH dies with the Great Ocean update. You don't drop blue neidans anymore, wich was the main reason to kill ocean monsters. You do drop green neidas, but you need to heat 10 to get 1 blue. Not worth it. We won't get Guardian so soon, but Great Ocean will bring tons of new content. Now we do Bartering, the new lifeskill from Ocean. It's like Trading, but you have to carry those items in your ship so you go from isle to isle delivering what they want. Sometimes you do have to kill ocean monsters, but it's not like it is right now. But it will be easier, cause you don't have to stop and get to the cannon anymore, the mouse buttons will fire the cannons for you. And they die pretty fast now. Oh... We'll get Khan too! It's the new Guild Boss but from the Ocean. It's a smaller version from Vell and he have 3 alchemy stones to craft.
Oh... Now guild missions to kill Margoria mobs will give 5kk, instead of 2,5.

 

?? can you show a ss please, i dont have any text like that flashing above my screen. i have seen people mention the same things but im confused slightly as to what they mean.

 

hehe...do not be daft...they are on all players screens, everytime you loot something green or blue or yellow, so you know what it is now...hopefully

 

how hard is it to provide a ss? that's all im asking since i've already mentioned that im not sure what you are talking about...

 

ahh nvm, i realized what it is now after i went to grind and since i don't really pve anymore and i normal have all notification off i have forgotten what it was.

 

Well the thing is that with ALL the notifications off, you will STILL get messages about Workers, as well as ALL the loot the game Thinks you absolutely NEED to know about, which by the way is impossible to turn off.

Just one thing...after more than 6 months after you made the Forum-profile, I would imagine that you would have played the game in more than just a AFKing and PvPing capacity...unless of course you just bought your account from another player...it is just speculation, but it just seems REALLY incredibly odd if you NEVER seen the loot-drop messages on your screen is all

 

Amended Original Post:

The Forced "Key Help" that pops up whenever you start climbing a ladder or start swimming, is also something that needs (in my opinion) to be added to the Tutorial edition of the game instead of having it forced upon all players, without the option to turn it off.

 

i like how you try to attack me and brush it of as a "speculation".

I've made my point and as i said all notifications are off that includes workers...https://gyazo.com/13967c76c5c9f6540ecc040766c32468
also, so you don't have to "speculate" i don't use workers and if i "..bought your account from another player.." i wouldn't be wasting my time indulging your high horse attitude , and that is no "speculation"

farewell.

 

WOW...not quite sure if that is fake outrage or not

I know it might not mean much to you, but "sticking out your tongue" at someone, actually is a VERY childish thing to do, which SHOULD have implied to you that it was an observation wraped up in a joking-childish way to behave. I did try to make it clear to you but I guess I needed to write this, because you might have been affected negatively by my "funny" comment...AND I know that I myself have said that bullies like to use the excuse "it was just a joke, can't you take a joke" idiocy, so that is why I am taking the time to make sure that I am in fact apologizing for my behavior, JUST in case you aren't being a "troll" who bought the account.

So I am sorry about that comment, I do however want you to look at it from my point of view for just a second; Some players have taken it upon themselves to be the "trolls" on our otherwise wonderful community, and they have gone to GREAT lengths to make new forum-profiles as well as new accounts, JUST in order to keep on "trolling" on our site and in-game.

So when I am being "funny" I am thinking that one of these players could easily have started being helpful on our community, instead of outright "trolling" and then start to be all friendly like, with the motive to gain personal information about someone they hate from the community (in this case me personally), and start stalking them online (which has already happened at least once).

This makes it incredibly difficult to distinguish between REAL-people, who might find my "funny" comments just an attack (as you put it), that -funny enough- is EXACTLY what I have been complaining about in other posts, of which you would have complete access to on our forum, and the Actual "trolls" who literally are WASTING their time "hunting" me.

I truly hope that you are the former, and therefore I do want to apologize once again, if my comment made you feel uneasy...although it really shouldn't unless of course you did buy it

 

let me apologize if you meant no disrespect, i don't take kindly to people making fun of what i spend my time on and it sounded like you were.

and lastly, i am not your troll or stalker, i don't usually come here often and only when i need information or help.
