In general I like the idea, but: Has anyone of you ever actually tried to buy nexus? I am OA 120 and didnt train for 3 weeks or so now, only mining etc. and I feel like it's not paying off What I mean is this: At around oa132 you need ~10mil exp for next OA, which would take most people around 10 days, 1mil/day with training (fighting) isn't that hard, I think most agree. So it would take you like max. 2 weeks to get another OA, but in 2 weeks I can only mine the iron I need for 50 hydro bars, speak alone of all the coal and FE needed for the s2e (+ feasting pots (or poison antidote costs to mix s2e and all those steel bars. Then once you have the s2e you need insane trips to the hydro spots which probably costs you ~15kgc worth of tele essence costs alone (or even more time if you mix then yourself). Personally I have 65k iron ore in storage now, but given up on the plan to buy nexus with hydro bars, it just doesnt pay off if your oa is below 150 and I think no one (besides 17 year old kids or unemployed (no offense who can play the game 8-10 hours a day) is in the mood to reset at oa120+ for bought nexus and then pvp/train for months again just to get back to that oa. And buying nexus only works if you are in a *really* comfortable position anyway, so lowering the amount of hydro bars to like 40 wouldn't cause a sudden nexus buy rush. Yes, I understand that buying nexus with hydro bars isn't that easy, but at the moment it's just too hard even for "advanced" players, unless you buy a lot of things with real $. I realize that lowering the amount won't happen because it would be unfair to those who bought for 50 already but when I read some posts here I think many people who never actually tried to make even 1 hydro bar are posting here.

I voted for weaker teams getting more members. why? Because if you split people who signed up as a group they'll be mad and just not attack each other until all others of their teams are dead

I totally agree, so many people are busy with "recovering from reset" which spoils a lot of action. It's just not "practical" to reset at oa120+ for ~8 wrong spent (nexus) PP on the other hand your advantage of a very high OA is gone if you have wrong spent PPs. It should be expensive enough so that you cant do it on a regular basis or "just for fun" and there is a technical problem: you need to avoid that people can buy nexuses with hydro bars and then shift to p/c (dont get me wrong, I am totally for nexus<->attribute exchangable PPs in that case, but with buyable nexus you basically can get unlimited p/c etc. - I dont know if the server logs what nexus' are bought so you have to stay with that amount of nexus PP or whatever) I mean so many people have half-done animal nexus etc. etc. because of PP they spent in the first week they played this game and as long as it's still in heavy development PPs should be shiftable some way. I'd pay 150kgc (or perhaps even more) if I could re-spend my PP (note: I am not talking about getting rid of perks etc. just re-spend PP) Another reason why this should be possible is with the recent blog entries from radu about implementing dynamic light and making perception useful etc.: No (and I really mean *no*) player is going to reset at oa130 just to get 8 PP into a perception based skill but many would probably shift a few PPs into it. (i.e. there's a big chance new features just "flop"). Those people will either sell char and stop playing or only use areas where the skill doesnt matter (indoor arenas etc.) or not care about it at all (because if everyone ignores it everyone has the same sight again

BloodSucker, I have been running GNU/Linux and FreeBSD exclusively for years and even though I like to bash windows I doubt it's windows' fault in that case. Perhaps your windows gfx drivers have antialiasing enabled which improves image quality but sucks FPS, try looking through the control panel for such things. And I voted for running a non-MS OS apparantly

Signing up, too. And I suppose rostogols + new cloaks (unbreakable/warlock/NMT) aren't allowed either? How about mana destruction rings, hope they are not allowed either?

Auction is over, cho_yun would have won but the offer was withdrawn, and the 2nd highest bidder also got one meanwhile. So consider the auction as cancelled, if you want the cloak for "instant buy" 180kgc PM me in-game.

As I wrote in my initial post, because of new year's eve etc. the auction will end on 3rd january, 96 hours from initial post. I edited the post it to make that clear, sorry for that.

Hello, this is an auction of a No More Tears Cloak. Starting bid is 150kgc, because of New Year's Eve etc. it will end on 3rd January, 96 hours from now. Bid on forum or anonymous bids via PM in-game. ------ Edit: Increments of at least 5kgc only please Edit2: As I get a lot of PMs in-game asking for items I accept I changed my mind and new scheme is as follows: Additionally to gc you can offer: 1 Crown of Life @ 60kgc 10 Hydrogenium bars @ 90kgc [No concrete offer with Steel plate parts but I was asked for Hydrogenium bars, so I changed it] Edit3 Auction is over, cho_yun would have won but the offer was withdrawn, and the 2nd highest bidder also got one meanwhile. So consider the auction as cancelled, if you want the cloak for "instant buy" 180kgc PM me in-game.

any news on this? Bug still exists, can't remove #killme yes, #removed, name changed and other "ghost" players. Since this is server side we can't fix it ourselves, so bumping this topic just as a reminder.

Hi, I am selling a Crown of Mana. You can either - buy immediatly for 65kgc and get a conjurer cloak for free along with it or - start bidding here (CoM only), starting price 50kgc, raise by 1kgc minimum each time Auction ends in 96h, if someone buys immediatly during the auction, auction is more or less cancelled, so think twice if you really need it before trying to save some gc ----- Edit: SOLD

Special Sword books I am selling: Book of Steel Long sword of fire - SOLD Book of Ice Sword - SOLD Book of Thermal Sword - SOLD All sold, sorry.

Agreed. IMHO the "problem" with the recommended levels is that if you try to manufacture i.e. any cuisses or greaves there's a very big risk of lossing stuff worth a lot even if you are already 5 levels above the recommended level. On the other hand, you can easily make SRs if you are still potion 15 because it doesnt matter if you lose some flowers, blue quartz, wine and vials - But the end result (measured in gc if you are selling) is that you make the same amount of money without any risk. It's a bit strange that you have to make leather armor and sell it to a bot until you are manufacture 35 before you can "safely" make higher items requiring some bars, EFE or even stones. It's the typical "character building" in MMORPGs which annoys me about this, but I also dont know how to fix that

Hello, there seems to be a bug in the NPC merchant price database once certain items are out of stock. For some items (like Energy Essence in this case) the bot says that it's a new item it never had before after adding it again when it was out of stock, resulting in 0 prices. After it is out of stock for some items it seems to forget all the information it had about those items. The bot I am talking about is "Decebal" on Idaloran docks of guild ??? Purely server side bug, so I cant provide a patch, sorry. Edit: Just for completion, this was already the case before the 1.3 update

Ok, well, but what I mean is this: There's this blacksmith in Emerald Valley now which has a few weapons which cost all the same (and quite a lot, to that extend). But the Merchant interface doesn't have a feature for viewing stats or so of things, so you have to buy all the weapons and spend 6 times or so 40kgc just to find out those weapon stats If you mean this by "surprise" I'd accept it, but I am confused then.
