Current State of GamezBD

So before I voice my opinions I want to say that I am fully aware this is a private server, the server is still being coded/developed, and yes I am aware it is free to play and cheaper than official.

I have been playing this server off and on since the release back in 2017, and even having a bit of play in the closed beta. The server has come really far since those times and I believe it is in the best state it has been since launch, although there are some issues or concerns I have and they are as follows.

Where are the events?

I am wondering where the events are in this server? I saw we had an event for the world cup, but since we haven't really had any and not much before, I feel although things are easily gotten here, boss gear ect. Why don't we have events like the official servers? I assume that they were coded into the game or work in this server why don't we have them going? Even if they are not with the current version of the game this gives a good incentive to keep playing and gathering even more wealth then what we have now. I'd like to see more of this even if its just minor things.

Rates?

Over my time interested in this server, the forums, and in game chatter. I've noticed the complaining of rates being false or turned down without our knowledge. I have experienced this in grinding in spots certain times I feel like it really is 10x and other times I feel like I am on official or worse. Why is this? I can't except RNG as an answer and I wonder why the Team would advertise such rates and not stick true to them. If they are afraid with even faster progression then the rates should have never been advertised as such. Either keep them 10x without nerfing each patch in secret hoping we don't realize or change them and announce that there was a change and give a solid reason.

Staff Activity in game?

Coming from official even with as little as the GM team has been in game they still show presence why does the small GM team here if there even is one not put some sort of presence in game, and why no GM buff boxes after maintenance or give a few out every so many weeks, the buffs are solid for pve and pvp and would be really nice to have in the game, I understand there is black spirit adventure but it would still be nice to have more of them.

All in all I think the server is solid and more players will be joining just to check it out and experience a more free to play experience with the free pearls and relatively cheaper cash shop although I do believe the prices could still be cheaper for a private server but that is my own selfish thought. I hope to see more things added in this server and more endgame stuff for us to do. Cheers.

 

Allright.... I am sorry but this is kind of sad...
1. I understand for the events, maybe they can improve on that and do more events.
2. Rates??? Rates are the same. As mentioned previously in other posts (very handy thing the search function is) rates were never touched. What they are doing is fine tune and change the way the items drop themselves in order to test out and balance somewhat of an economy as currently as far as I can see it only 10% of the items that are listed in retail are actually selling here or have a small chance to sell here.
RNG is still RNG and you have to accept it as the game was based on those "RNG" algorithms.
3. GM buff boxes for maintenance? On top of everything you already have? On top of the free pearl shop? Really?...
4. Staff activity. I see GMs online in the game daily and mods are always on in the forums. Where is the issue? That the server is not baby fed and cradled? Please bear in mind that GMs/Mods take this server more as a job than a hobby or "playtime". Especially when they have to deal with upset players, technical and rule problems on a daily basis.
Overall I have 0... absolutely 0 idea, how you could complain about rates, drop rates, buffs, events etc when you supposedly come from retail. Yes there are bugs, but overall the factors that made retail a cess pit of masochistic people are almost non existent here. I don't understand why people bring their toxicity from retail and still are not happy with the server. Especially when it is FREE.
If you were actually fully aware that this is a free private server that still is in the process of development, this post would not exist.
Cheers.

 

Well from your reply on #2 and #4 clearly shows you are either not a player here or have never really grinded a long term in this game for big ticket items. 10x drop rate applies to all items no? Then state in your server "we balance high valued items lower than trash, scrolls, and green armor/weapon items" I'm not upset I just voiced my opinion that if we have 10x let it apply to all 10x not just a few items here or there. Their economy stabilization will have to go beyond just adjusting boss/yellow tier items. If you started when the bosses were fixed and drops were given like candy you'd know this economy has been "ruined or saturated for a long period of time" so why ninja nerf? The boss/yellow tier should have never been give such rates and nor should the server have been advertised with such rates. I'm happy grinding but it's misleading to new/returning players.

 

Regarding the boss gear, I agree. But apart from that I still think that the server right now is not in a "bad place". The whole idea behind this game is grind until your eyes fall out.
Apologies if I sounded harsh in my previous post. It's just my view that since it's a free private server we as a player base should be more supportive towards the devs/gms of this server.
I mean.. like... free pearl shop Easy T3/4 pets. Thats like 60% of the inconvenience and cash grabbing from retail gone. Along with costumes etc.
Anyway... Cheers mate.

 

Hi,

just from my point of view:

I searched for a "high rates" server in first place cause i hated my experience from retail. So IF the rates were fake, that would be fraud on players, coming cause of the advertised rates.
