Allods Online Forum

As I am starting. My thought is that the system is bad because of the daily limit. Why is it there? Getting equipment parts is currently hard already. Do they really need a daily cap to make things worse?

Newbies cannot really catch people up. People think runes matter so much in this game. Well they do, but equipments also matter. As much as runes do affect the game, so does the equipment. Even +100 physical / elemental / holy / natural resistance (not the secondary defensive stat) you can ger from an armor piece can make a difference here.

You cannot play until your fingers break, because there is always a cap. Yes, tools must be sold too but really, this justifies the allods team handicapping the newer players to the gear system too hard? The gear system is so hard to understand already, and even harder to prepare things for it. The gold requirement is insane too but whatever, gold requirement is not the point. This is just unfair. At least with lower levels I would expect a difficulty decrease if this game really goes with a daily cap.

I am against the idea of astral keys too. They would give both the dust and a little equipment parts at the same chest or like how rune costs are, they would let us choose like %100 parts, %50 parts %50 dust or just %100 dust and that would be fine. Allods is doing similar systems everytime when it comes to gearing and people who are behind always have one thing in common and that is ''Oh wait I can wait till the next patch / next year'' then I will catch.

I may think wrong, but the 1-shot powercreep is not on the runes. It is on the broken gearing system.

Pochtron is so accurate on this one.

Not just because materials for 1 equipment piece takes weeks to collect, the next pieces always demand more and more from the only resource we have daily limits for.

Also, dusts are too time-consuming to collect if you want a large amount but that is not the point, gearing must be easier than most in my opinion.

Players are expected to both gear up, make runes and cash shop but only 1 of them is possible at the moment. You cannot focus both of them at once. So new people and sometimes even the old gamers refuse to gear up because in the next year it won't matter anyway.

I would want (with the current affect of runes) to quickly gear up, then consume my gold for crystals and runes after the gearing after you complete gearing decently fine. Decently fine does not mean ''the best'' but people must gear up enough so that we can enter the PvP battlegrounds without the fear of getting one-shotted. Everyone thinks only runes are responsible for the one-shot thing, but it really is not.

For example, I would say:
-Green: Poor
-Blue: Decent
-Purple: Strong
-Orange: Competitive
-Turtoquise: OP

I would like to say, if half of the playerbase is Strong, then we must very easily be able to get Decent equipment. If the elitists are Competitive, we must be able to get Strong equipments easier.

I do not say people need to have the same equipment with the elitists, but if they are sticking with OP and most people are sticking with Poor, getting one-shotted is not really a surprise.

Making equipments are hard as hell too, as Pochtron said, we must get carried or wait until the next year. Making dropped items contribute for %10 was not definitely a good idea. They want people to catch up? Then why did they do that? Yeah it was abusable but there are way too many problems with gearing.

And also the best way to get Amalgams is from the Battlegrounds which nearly no undergeared person really enjoys.

Yeah, players need a feeling of progression.

And the thing is, without runes and d5 and only a good high score you maybe cannot 1v1 but you can still be competitive in a way. Yes you would be weaker than people who farmed for runes and d5 but that is how it is supposed to be. Then of course, the players farm their runes and d5 slowly over time. Allods would not lose any money, they would still sell their cash shop items, but with gearing easier and even letting a player have a decently strong set of gear in a week would make those players instead farm for runes and patronage, and cash shop items. The players would still farm for things, but can feel that they are pretty competitive, none would really get an unfair advantage in the battlegrounds.

Yes, players who geared up would have a little problem about that, but their gears are temporary. After this patch, it will not matter anyway.

P.S. hire me instead of those current developers. I dare you I can do the job better.
