Would you give up the LoA ruleset for Episode 6 and more timely updates in the future if you were compensated for lost items?

yea I levelled/played/ enjoyed game before LOA ruleset, I could learn to do it again.
bring on ep 6 ^^

I haven't voted on this one yet. I honestly don't know how i'd feel. I can't imagine playing the game again without essence. The soft AC I could live with, and all of the other items I can live without (tho I kinda like my sword!).

I'm on the fence.

No +2 Dex Helm, Soft-AC, Exp buy-back? Um, I think I can wait before we get new content :P

I can wait for the new content. there were many reasons why we broke the mirror. those reasons still exist and have not changed.

getting bored is a sate of mind one creates by onself. there are hundreds of ways to keep things spiced up. just dont get stuck in the rut of limiting your views.

I'd almost be on the fence in certain aspects of the LoA rulesets, but as it stands I was on my way out the door prior to LoA rules came to Ken. Truth is, I didn't like the one-trick pony that were elves and I just didnt (and still don't I suppose) have it in me to change over to another class.

Besides, the real problem isn't LoA or really anything else specific to either rulesets, it's the hackers and botters. Removing LoA rules wouldn't change that...and neither will Ep6.

Wait...What??

Hmm I could do without most of LOA changes. NC could save themselves the time and any item or small noobie items that are never used to just remove it from game. (Less for them to re-update) Give us NCK style bosses but better drops. Really alot could be done to less the LOA and NCK change list but they leave it in to add more work later on. Yes its nice to have noobie item for noob but 2 things

When do noobs join the game? and does it matter we got a noob item that is only going to be used for what 1 month at most? There are so many changes in LOA that just have no place anymore and even when added still had little effect on 95% of the players.

Stand to say Fracas could do a lot to make the changes from LOA to EP 6 bit easy on him if he just removed some LOA stuff or anything like Soft/AC that might be a huge hold up..

He gave us their magic system saying it would Quicken update.... has anyone noticed after we got this update for magic....almost all other update stopped?

I posted this on the official boards, but thought I would post it here as well.

There is absolutely NO indication that the LoA ruleset is holding up the publish. This poll is based on a global conversation on Ken about what the holdup might be. Some folks had a theory that it was the LoA ruleset and it made me curious about how attached folks were to the LoA ruleset compared to new content.

Rest assured, if I knew with any certainty what the problem is, there would be no cryptic polls. I would just let you all know.

Well it being the real hold up IDK. I can say for sure it does add more work for them (could be little could be alot IDK) to have to trasfer over the LOA items. They still need to test make sure they are copyed right and a few other things. yet really for so many useless LOA item's I do not even seen the point of keeping in game. A noobie would not even use most of them if any.

pretty sure loa ruleset is setting them back. maybe not a lot, but there are complications with that unique ruleset... I'm all for getting rid of it, never wanted it in the first place... and the new buy back system.... I'd take that over 1% exp loss anyday.

I agree with Feandel,
I dont think that the holdup of the new content would be 'just because of the LoA ruleset.'
If its a programming issue, then they wouldnt have implimented it into all of the servers in the 1st place.
What the LoA ruleset did was to remove some everyday things that we were all used to being able to acquire easily and now having to hunt for the items instead. And it added some new items that only LOA server had,added to both Ken and Dep, so as not to show favortism to just 1 server for all those neat things they had over there.
But still although we now have those items that has helped many of us, we also got alot of 'Hackers and Botters' added as well, which has caused grievances to many.
I really dont think its the "LOA ruleset thats causing the holdup, parce" its probably an over-worked computer &/or the staff that has to program it all into the game. Didn't Cricket say somewhere that when Austin gets the updates they all have to be translated into English, before they can add it into the american-side of the game?
It's obvious where the holdup is, its in translating it all, from Korean to English and hoping that they got it translated correctly.
As I've been advised, some foreign languages have different meanings for the same word, so it can be confusing on the recievers end, if they would translate what they thought was correct and then later found out that it wasnt translated correctly. That would be very annoying to me too. -.-
I wouldnt want to have the translators' job, and have them yelling at me, cause I interpreted it all wrong. And then the programmers would have to redo their work again.
Thats why i dont have any websites that I have to program in the 'html' or 'java' into them, If I cant just type it in as i see it in front of me, or drop a photo in place where i want it, I dont use their site's.
I only know a tad bit of 'html/java script' to do alittle for myspace blog, but thats it.
Professionals that work for companies that went to school for all this programming stuff has my salute, cause it is just too hectic for me to try to learn how to do it to make it work correctly.

1. Yes. I could do without the LoA stuff as long as I was fully compensated for all that I lost, (since I started this game without it in the first place,) but Ive accumalated alot since it was added to our server, and Ive spent out alot of adena in making the armors etc that was available to me since LoA ruleset was added.
2. I agree with Roo, the essence has helped me alot in leveling my royal faster, so if they went away, I guess I would survive on greater haste again...it would just push me back a bit longer to leveling to 50+.
3. My Relic would be a tad upset though, she would lose her Elemental arrows and Sayha Xbow, which has helped her level up faster and being able to hunt in higher hunting areas than she used to go to, and die alot in.
So basically I would miss 2 things, if we had to give up LOA ruleset on Ken:
Royal essence and Sayha Xbow w/ Elemental arrows.
These are the only things I really care about,that I use alot of in the game now on my main 2 characters.
(Sry, nothing else seems to come to mind that I would miss if we didnt have the LoA ruleset.)
4. But why should we have to give up anything, to get another episode released sooner?
It really doesnt make much sense to me, unless they are doing their best at annoying all of us, so that we will have a reason to quit...which many have already expressed these feelings: Quit or Stay?
I got several reasons to quit, and few to stay. but im still plugging along, o.-
take care all,

One thing...
I dont know about you all, but as a college student, i would have never EVER made 50 if the xp loss on death had been reduced to 1%. Im lucky to get to play for even 2 hours a day, and even the occasional once every 2 weeks death (and all the unexpected deaths like me dieing from ghoul poison in mlc yesterday >.<) Would really just make this game not fun nor worth my time or money.

Think about how this would effect EVERYTHING. Mage being my primary class, suddenly all my magic sucks balls again. 51+ becomes unhuntable unless your 55+, and i remember the soft ac update the first time it was implemented...bks in swl kicked my sweet little ass backwards and forwards.

Straight up korean mirror? Chances are you wont be making it down to diad because of spawn rates and just plain power the diad des have.

Recall when they implemented the new item drop updates? How many of you would like to go back to having your dead monster drop all items on the ground? I remember FI being a mess.

Any new mages will have to go back to the useless life of only having csoms cuz soms would again be a thing of the past.

Anyway i feel ive made my point.

I believe that LOA's special ruleset was the biggest mistake ever.

NC in Austin should have never strayed from the path of the Korean ruleset, cause I always knew that there were always going to be episodes coming out to eventually meet the demand of the players without having to ruin the balance of the game.

I hate the hell system...it's so useless...basically just protecting the botters than anything else and punishing those that pk them...

I hate the lower exp loss...again just protecting the botters than anything else.
Also, just fix the lag...then there really shouldn't be a reason to die. Even in PvP...you can always venz, hide, and run...meh...

I hate the no soft ac on all classes with a passion...Knight=My favorite dead class...

I hate all of the LOA's specific items...Ugh...Ugh...Meh...just delete them all please...

In conclusion...I hate everything about LOA's specific ruleset that strays from the Korean Ruleset. Dep was the best US server until it adopted nearly all the crummy rulesets on LOA...

So...what I would like is a new pvp server with the same exact Korean Ruleset and the only difference is that it's in English, cause I know that it would be impossible to take all that US specific content away from the current servers we have now...

Also, just make the game LAGless...and have a dedicated team that's not retarded to determine who's a Bot or Not...and ban all the bots and cheaters (auto-buffs and auto-venz and auto-everything) PERMANENTLY!!!!!!!!!! P E R M A N E N T L Y!!!!!!!!

Not asking for much...Just:
Exact same Korean Content but in English.
Ban all Botters and Cheaters permanently.
Make it a lag-free pvp server.

If I was to be able to play on a server like that...I would be so happy that I would actually fall in love with the NCAustin crew...Literally...I would LOVE them...But life sucks...it never works out the way I want it to...so I just always have to settle of LESS~! Isn't that terrific~~~~~~~~
