Staff activity lacking? Are you for real? We always try to answer support posts on the forum and we get A LOT of private messages every day. Forums are not the best way to provide support which is why I recently changes ours so that we can track support posts more efficiently than before. But seriously, this is a private server, it's not some massive company with dedicated support staff and if you compare us to any other "private server" I'm sure you will find we offer a great service. Most of these other servers treat their players like shit, if they even bother to answer them in the first place.

I'll explain why I am against this idea first:

Some things in the game are put onto PK maps to add an extra layer of difficulty. World bosses are one example and targets for the chain quests is another. They are supposed to be difficult and done in groups/guilds. Adding a channel that makes all maps PvE would completely remove this extra layer of difficulty and make the game even easier/boring.

I do understand that not all players enjoy PK but it is part of this game and will remain a part of it. However, when I do the next chain quest (next update) I will think about ways to make it difficult without adding any PK elements.

Even though I am against the idea, I guess it could be done by having a new server that is PvE only and allowing players to log into their choice of server with the same account/characters. But as I said, I am against the idea really and would prefer to rethink how I make things in future updates to allow players to avoid PK maps if they want to without it affecting their ability to complete important quests.

Sorry for the wall of text with no layout. Seems this thing is stripping any pagination. Will fix it!

2. I can add something to the website and panel ingame I guess.

3. Sure can do that too, did it for Aion voting before.

4. Fix it how? I think you just can't do it because it's an Easter event quest, and... it's not easter :P

There are filters at the top of all post replies, click latest if you want to jump to the last post, no need to keep clicking load more posts on load threads. The forum still has issues since it's brand new software and still being worked on.

ok this is the list that i wanted...

0. i really agree to the above post. card recovery !!
1. i dont want to level up .. i'd like my character not to level up anymore so i can dynamically set exp rate to 0 or 0 - 15 (Testing Purposes)
2. indicator if a gm is online or not.
3. how much time left in website for voting to be enabled again. currently theres no time just the ip or nothing else
4. lastly fix egg decoration quest

that would be great in my opinion

Am I for real? Kinda, it did take you two weeks to reply.
I've been around private servers for years and years, and while there are those whose staff do not care about the players, others do their best to listen to the players suggestions/needs in order to improve the server.
I know what it's like being a GM and it's not easy. However if you cannot handle all the influx of messages, you could "hire" some forum mods from the players community...they would answer general questions, and pass to you issues that need resolving ingame etc.

I've also suggested several months ago a timer on the voting panel. And it's still exactly as I had left it. Now another person comes with that suggestion....I wonder if anything will happen this time.


-----------------
This new forum is really bad...takes forever to load a page, on large threads you need to scroll your eyes out till you find the last post, and the reply a specific post does not work

Sorry, but the system is unable to locate the post based on the given id.

Some posts us GMs can't really do much about because it deals with the bugs that GMs can't go in and fix. It's up to our already busy admins. I got a taste of the PMing when the admins were on vacation once. They're always responding to PMs and when players normally ask for help when it deals with a bug or donation issues I tell them to PM an admins on the site.

There use to be a timer if I remember correctly and some suggestions do get added to an extent onto this server we don't turn away all suggestions. Some suggestions we forget sometimes we're humans behind our computers with one man who fixes server side issues (bugs) and one woman who is the main person we send you to about donation issues or you all send reports to about in game issues. The GMs are trying to be active but it's the holidays and we are spending time with our family. Coffee and Sunrise are college people. I just have a busy work schedule.

Forum mods would just block/delete flame posts, edit offensive content out of posts, and lock dead posts it's what they can only do. Nothing else really. Like sedy said the best way to get help for issues in the game is also to PM them.

I check forums a few times aday but when I see like the first 5 same posts I really don't go further down than that on the recent topics. I'll just start looking more often to help you out more if need be.

Well, just because you made a suggestion doesn't mean it's going to get done, or even answered. I answer important forum posts and PMs first and if I have time, I answer other stuff, just the way it is and will remain. If we don't live up to your standards here you can always move along.

More pvp events. Blacklist system.

Maybe add Guild war....

I'm pretty sure it was answered, and it was sort of positive/affirmative one at that.

Heya, first I wanna say this version of iris is 9,999,999,999 times better than retail, just saying~

Now for suggestions, well I have a few but I'm not sure if all of them are possible.

1. I really like games with player housing lol I don't know if it's possible in iris but maybe you could make like a guild house or something? I think it would be really cool and fun, and it would be an interesting concept for iris. ^-^

2. I know everyone is always going on about how they want exp events, and I know you GM's don't wanna give events everyday. But I was wondering if you could create a Guild Exp Event so that the guild each player is in has a chance to earn more exp that day, or something like that. :cheer:

3. I also agree with people that maybe just 1 channel is too small as the population of our iris community is growing. I think that adding 1 more channel would be better. There don't have to be 3 like retail iris, I found that as too much because the population was too spread apart.

Hmm~ I think that's it for now, but if I have anymore ideas I'll be sure to post again

From : xShadowSagex

Maybe add Guild war....

I also agree with this 1.

I want to make a minor suggestion: flavor text.
For those who don't know what is flavor text, I'll citate a brief description (yay Wikipedia!):

In most cases, the flavor text attempts to add depth or background to the item, providing a form of context. This helps to establish the (often fictional) universe to which the item belongs.
While appropriate to the product's or game's story concept, it usually has no effect on the mechanics of the game, but instead serves to add realism or characterization to the item in question.

For an example, let's take, say, the Warriors'/Fighters' Shield Bash skill.
The flavor text can be added in two ways:

1) Simply insert the text after the actual mechanics' description (DotA anyone?), like this:

Shield Bash
Active
Requires: Shield
Start time: instant
Cooldown: 6.0s
MP Cost: blah-blah

Increases Physical Attack Power by 12 and attacks the target, adding 3x of damage as aggro.

Young fighters quickly learn to use their shield not only in blocking attacks, but also in retaliating.

2) Remake the descriptions to be flavor text-ish themselves, like this:

Shield Bash
Active
Requires: Shield
Start time: instant
Cooldown: 6.0s
MP Cost: blah-blah

Swiftly bashes the target enemy with your shield, inflicting 12 bonus Physical damage and generating 3x as aggro.

The flavor text is usually featured in almost any modern-day MMORPG. Just pure numbers and stats are good, but why not add some actual descriptions? It'd really help to create some "atmosphere" (which, in Iris, is actually barely existent to my taste). In the end, not like it would do any harm anyway.

P.S. If anything, I am volunteering to write the descriptions myself.

Volunteer accepted! Send me an email at noscrubs.net@gmail.com and I will send you the necessary files

LOL woot intern get me some Water!

How about adding Union chat. Also a way we can talk to people while using npc...?

The PVP DM/FM lvls need to be changed 1~10 10~20 20~30 30~40 40~50 50~60 60~70 70~74 and 75....

i would like to see the retail lisk weapon skins :P

1. 2 channels
2. Guild Wars
3. Guild Union Chat
4. Pets :P

Marriage system :cheer:

BUMP! (This hasn't been posted on in a while, might aswell) :whistle:

An item that lets you take cards out of your equipment, one at a time. Possibly 100 tears a piece would be a nice price, considering that card slot add costs the same. And if you're telling me to just replace old cards with new - Try throwing 8$ out of the window every time you replace a card in your gear, maybe you'll feel like me

Let's say you bought an iPhone a year ago and you have been using it as it should be used. And suddenly Apple gets out a new model after a year (less if its Apple). Do you go telling them how they should give you a new iPhone because you bought the old one?

We can't keep doing that or else the server will never get enough money to pay its expenses. But what we have done in the past is, if a new update with new cards came out, we helped the people who had purchased cards a couple of days before the patch change them to new ones.

I'm not saying we will not think of something, I'm just saying please be a bit more reasonable. Maybe some other idea that would be somewhere in the middle would be the best. And besides I'm sure that these cards people get for their best equipment, and they use them for quite a long time, so they serve their purpose.

Then how about card recovery for people who bought cards 1-2months ago? ;P

We could always trade in our old phones :P
How about we tier the costs of Card Recovery items? Say VI Card Recovery would cost 3 moolahs, V Card Recovery cost 2 moolahs, and so on. 100 tears a piece is too little and unfair to the server imo.
How about an upgrade feature too? Something like the CS rare-->unique-->epic upgrade feature in retail. Can be applied to V/VI cards, or even titles.
Say I have been using V cards, and seeing the price of VI cards, I would not think about splashing out another 8 moolah per card initially. With the Card Recovery and upgrade feature however I could be tempted to spend 2 moolah to recover it a V card, and say another 3 moolah to upgrade it to a VI card. Thus a win-win for both parties, I hope.
Of course prices and costs of Card Recovery items and upgrade costs should be made at a fair level.

I made that card upgrade proposal before, My mercenary was using All stat V because when i bought cards way before there wasn't VI cards yet and when VI's came out i offered that if i pay 3 Moolah for each of my V cards to be changed to VI's so it would still total to 8 Moolah per card and yeah....as expected...i got ignored..
I don't know how phone system works in other counties but here in ''Japan'' you make a contract of 2 years paying it ''Monthly'' including the payment for the unit cause paying the unit full in 1 Go isn't a very good idea to some people who is having it hard to earn money. The main point is after you completed the contract of 2 years you can have your phone changed to latest unit's and its for free....

And besides I'm sure that these cards people get for their best equipment, and they use them for quite a long time, so they serve their purpose.

After donating over 2000$ to this server I would expect you guys to try to keep us donating some other ways than completely making us remake the gears we worked hard for irl. I still keep donating because I want to, but if everything I worked for will become useless, whats the point to make the same mistake again. I'm pretty sure Savariz, seeing as he is also one of the top-donators feels the same way.

If you expect us to just keep throwin you money no matter what happens, that aint gonna happen. Im not saying my idea was perfect, I would be happy to even pay a moolah or two for a card recovery, if its for the 100 8$ ones I've bought. Cus I dont mind donating for a server, as long as it is fair and fun. Which noscrubs to me, at the moment, is.

EDIT : And I must thank you for the patches ofcourse, Im happy that the game is getting updated and I appreciate your work, I dont mean to offend you guys in any way. Just seeing that you guys could come and lend us a hand after we've helped keeping this server up, would be awesome. Even if only a little.

Thank you.

i would like to see the retail lisk weapon skins :P

My list of suggestions, i dont know if ppl will agree with me, but there just some ideas....

- a price forum, so no one over prices or under prices things in P2P trade and AH, and have a conversion system like gold,
tears and moolah

- a marriage/soul mate/dating/whatever you want to call it system, to make dungeons and quests;
especially chain quest much easier

- ignore list; i know you dont like this idea because people tend to block GMs.. but im sure you can fix that =/

- more NPCs on maps, like in retail, it's annoying having to port bk to town or another map with one in it, it's very time consuming, and i dont know about everyone else,
but i want to keep killing and not waste ports =/

- Union Chat; it was very useful on retail to find parties and other things like bosses

- gear to tears system, like different boxes for different sets, doesnt have to be epic or unique =/ just something more useful than trying to farm it..
i like having temperary armor, but it can get really annoying

- tears to moolah system; i think it'd be a really gd idea for ppl
who cant afford to pay rl money for it, and a lot of ppl like to OP it... no offence =/

- game radio that wont lag ppl, i dont know bout other ppl but i like to listen to my own music,
problem is, it can lag ya pretty bad which sucks during PvP maps, dungeons and boss killings

if i think of anything else ill make another list, but thats just some suggestions :3

Hi, my idea is: the same way there's a transformation card that gives aoe for melees (the golem), how about a transform card that gives aoe attack for magic users? As not all magic users have tons of aoe's (like sages and priests) as also, the magicians and warlocks aoe's doesnt hit as many mobs as the golem.

How about making some mounts for 2 people? Like the terminus trains or the pandan wagons or the vroom bike! inch:
Pet system, of course
and blacklisting!

@Yozimitsu and wolfstien

Just want you to know we are considering what to do. What wolfstien said about when we changed the cards from V to VI, we did actually let some people that had just bought them to change them for only the difference, just didn't think it right to do so when some people had bought them months before. Anyway if we can move to that way maybe, see if somebody wants an upgrade and work around the difference that is a step to start. But it might only be something for people who really have helped the server, since donators have said in the past that they don't have anything unique. You might not get something that makes you different and the game unfair from other people, but you can get rights like exchanging your cards for the difference, and other things that I can't mention now, they aren't thought through yet.



@Happiny

There will be new transformation cards, we do have a post on this where Sedy was asking for ideas. But somebody told him to make it a surprise and not reveal them!

i was thinking maybe magician/priest should of have communion too? or maybe make a tear pot with the same ability as communion :x cause id rather have my magician as a main than my wl, but ill miss communion

I have a suggestion. I noticed that NO ONE in the server do the Wanted Papers for the NEW maps.

Is it possible to have the mobs CLOSER instead of so far apart so that PEOPLE do the wanted papers. I know the reason why I don't do them is for that fact. and 80 mobs is a long time to kill. Make the mobs lower.
