Make GamezBD awesome again?

Wanted to start a discussion, which it will eventually devolve into, about the possibility of making GamezBD something that stands out, against the terribly dreary bland backdrop of Pservers available.

Is there potentially enough gamers here, who like me actually Like Playing the Game, and who wouldn't mind a server change to the current game?

Suggestion: Server content rollback, *to when the game made sense*, before they dumbed down the game so that "everyone" could play it. Traces and Fruits and Essences all restored, and the game-mechanics restored as well back to then, Keeping All the Great modifications for Quality of Life, but potentially making this server special and unique.

Nothing will be lost, and everyone will get the items they had back as well (Fruits and Essences and Traces Before they were lost), OR have the server wiped so that we might get a bunch of new gamers join, due to the modified "fair play" new start, and they will have the equivalent of the money they spent; available to their accounts from day one?

This ONLY WORKS IF gamers here actually like the game they are pretending to play.

 

that was the approach which Carl did for Aion. Server wiped then rebooted with promising new contents and updates. So far after 1 month they gained much attention and returning player. I wouldnt mind if gamezbd also wiped/rebooted. big risk must be made for big future.

@Carl we believe for your charming decision for gamezbd.

 

I am thinking more detailed;

Restore the Geo-engine to where the "non-existent NPCs" (all the question marks that have appeared on the main map), weren't a part of the landscape to confuse new players.

Restore old system of enhancement and reagents, but keep the modified new worker nodes output (without "trash" items).

Forget about the new classes, and focus on working out a new "hit/miss" formula, so that we can experience some more "action" during combat. If the characters are limited by "number of hits", because we draw So Many More monsters here, then you could possibly tweak the skills?

Doesn't need to take THAT much more time, but I do understand that this seems like tedious and plausibly pointless work.
I also understand that the core basis of players now, are the most dedicated at making this wonderful project work, and you could potentially alienate them in this process. Whatever changes (if any) were to be made to the current state of the servers, would be troublesome and I fully understand the implication.

However as it currently stands, it seems about just as much work, as well as time and effort put into it all, to wait and work on the newest compilation of Global Labs server version, than it would to roll-back to a server version that we already Know works. The problems would arise from the technical expertise and remaking of a BDOcodex like site, that would work Solely for This server, if this suggestion were to be taken seriously.

 

If you could add any modifications, that the current official PA. server version has, to this server version, what would those changes be?

 

Wipe is not needed here. The first thing we need right now is a response from devs.

 

I know it is going to be one of the main topics, unfortunately it seems as if people aren't able "to see the whole picture", but this is certainly Not a thread Solely about whether to wipe or not, so please, if this is your only input here could you please make a new suggestion/discussion (with an in-built question in it), and get that sorted out there, pretty please?

 

Ease of function and usage, which means any additions PA. made, to minimize time wasted;

1. Keep Inventory open when using storage of other places, easily moved items
   
2. Display all mount/wagon/ship inventory and gear on opening "P", easily findable items
3. An inventory/storage/warehouse global search function, that can show you where one item is located

 

Whole picture or whatever you say there, we still need an announcement from the developers first. And ''People aren't able to see the whole picture" dude, if the developers abandoned this project, your suggestions are going on deaf ears.

 

dude loboram making noise on forum spamming same topics and different thread to gain attention from devs, thats the whole picture
