easy improvements

Higbey · 02-14-2012

here are some ideas for improvement.

add a sleep gani or something that all players can get from a place or a easy quest, make it so like meditate you get healed using it, its not very fair to have to be in the gst to get a item that powerful, its portable healing, id be okay if the gst got them a meditate gani, but making it heal like that is way unfair.

nerf horse speed
not really fun for pkers, everyone just sits on mounts with full speed and if they get attacked they go flying away super fast, plus people can just run around on horses while in a hide and seek or coin collecting or cupid helper collecting, make it so the sprint speed lasts for a little bit, and then you go down the speed, this way you have to care more about how you use it and cant ride around like your riding a rocket constantly. to pkers its like playing pokemon where the only pokemon you can fight is abra, and the only pokemon you can use is wobuffet.

improve baddy drops
first of all, fix that terrible level with all the water and stuck baddys, worst combat level ever, so easy to boost there, and improve the drops of baddys, i dont understand why they only drop blue and green gralats, with prices so high they should be worth a red gralat, same with the other baddys like slimes, maybe people would actually fight baddys if they could get a good efficient reward from them.

here are major ideas to make Facebook graal a success

1. UPDATE THE MAP!! you need to make a way to transfer automatically all the updates made on the iphone server to the facebook server

2. fix the horrid tileset-image bugs, the cave entrances, the tree npcs, and the npcs have error too, deophite the npc in the moonlight pub is invisible, ive feedbacked about it and told the staff, still not fixed, in fact it seems like hardly any staff go on the facebook server. the errors all make it ugly, and easy to fix too.

3. fix the scripting errors. snowballs and bombs have wierd "clones". client side bombs or snowballs that appear to arch through the air and go off screen, while the actual bomb/snowball goes normally, in fact i just saw a glitch where it appeared that a bunch of bags of gold coins went flying acrosss the screen in a diagonal downard line, very weird.

4. the way that would fix alot of problems, make it so non vip players can visit the iphone main server, no wonder no one plays, you need to pay a expensive subscription just to go to the actual main server, whoever came up with that idea was a greedy moron, making it so something as vital as account protection and the ability to use the main server has to be bought with a subscription that pricey, why not a one time payment, or better yet, make it automatic like you should have in the first place you money grubbing pig.

5 speaking of money grubbing pigs, maybe if scrooge here knew how to run a game, he would know to invest a chunk of all that cash in facebook ads for this game, seeing as a retro online LTP based game would be popular instead of those annoying facebook game scams made by Zynga that revolve around you needing to come back at certain times and pester friends for them to click a button for you to give you something you need to procede, and of course two types of currency, one type you get from the game and can buy some stuff with, and the super cash you need to pay real money to get to buy the cool stuff and use it to get bonuses and crap.

graal would be way better than those "games", if only new people knew it existed, it needs advertisements to get new players, new players means more money, more money means more ads, more ads means more players, more players means...you get the picture, to get people to play you need to advertise it, put it out there, make it look interesting, pump up the intro and tutorial so its not boring, tons of people join, play for a few minutes, and quits forever. you need to stop that happening.

6. perhaps your scripters would be more inclined to work more and harder if you actually paid them.

thats just some stuff i would like to say, that alot of people say, and maybe if stefan cared more about the players and listened to us, everyone would be better off.

there. took forever to get the thread to post.

its a second gen, meaning its from the silver version, one of the first ones added, so its pretty old.

it is a pokemon that can only learn defensive or reflecting moves like counter,
abras are a pokemon that like only know teleport and always teleport away before you can catch them

when people can go that fast on horses by just standing around on a fully charged horse they can just run away before you can kill them, making it really annoying and bad,

i mean, try competing when everyone else has mounts, look how fast they can go, they can go right off the bat super fast, no cooldown or limit to how far they can go while at top speed, as long as you dont get hit, which only makes you go one slower, which is still super fast.

theres no gradually accelleration required, its very overpowered and unfair, especially since you have to pay a lot to get a mount.

I dunno, I prefer PKing "on foot" than on a horse. Better control and maneuverability. Also, if you're a smart PKer, you know which side to constantly place yourself on against a horse PKer, as they can only swing their sword on one side per stance. E.G., when a player is riding a horse "up", he/she can only swing to the right, so you stand on their left side for a free hit!

that would be okay, but what im talking about is how if you attack someone or they kill you, they just run away super fast on a horse, youve got no chance, and with the events and stuff, everyone is on a mount, zooming about, i mean theres like tons of people constantly shooting about on top speed,

anyway, thats only one of my many ideas of what needs to be improved, theres many more that are more important, like the updating of the graal facebook map to be updated to what the iphone map is

I agree to every concept of that exept maybe nerfimg horse speed... Graal isnt realistic in the least but when a person can out sprint a horse that doesnt even make sense in gaming logic.

i dont mean players being able to go as fast, i mean horses working on accelration instead of levels, so like if you keep going to go faster but if you come to a stop you start out slow and gradually speed up and repeat, momentum based,

or making it so going a certain distance makes you go down a level so you need to eat bushs, because horses do get tired and cant go for ever at a high speed

Isnt that how it was with the eating the bushes stuff?

No, you eat a bush and go up a level of speed, the only way to lose a level is to take damage.

A better More balanced way would be to also lose a level after going a certain amount and or a specific time, like sprinting or speed boosts.

Also there's other great suggestions in the post other than just horse speed.
