BOO

Post by Grandmaster Gherkin »

I for one think this felucca change is a joke .. walking bios to every single dungeon and having to fight through it all to the boss isnt doing anyone any favours , i think all its doing is adding a long arduous walk or run to and through peerless/felucca locations and dungeons , so what is the reward/good change to the shard since this is a knife in my side ? this is a wound to people who own bio pets and the pet summon ball has been made obsolete really since now i cannot use it to summon my pet in any fel location .. i give this a massive thumbs down and I a very dissapointed. :(

yeah same, the no recalling thing is fine for me, but not being able to use a pet summon ball is a very bad idea, seems to me kind of unfair to the people who use bio pets, and people that can shrink their pets arent affected...

I find the biggest pain in the butt is the no recalling from Fel. I can understand the no marking and recalling in, but what is the reason for not being able to recall out? Something about the help/stuck option you want utilized more? That is the worst change I have seen on the shard thus far. This one even beats the brainiac notion that the "mage" inquisition quest shield, the "arcanist" protection, was never meant to have spell channeling and thus removed from new shields (which as it turns out can be added... for a cost). Also blocking the BoB is all well and good, but how about figuring something out about the ghost cams that lead to that usage of the bracelets in the first place? The thought process behind this is... well I can't even come up with a way to say it without getting into trouble. :verymad:

My biggest problem is the sailing. If you are on a moving boat, and lose connection, you get teleported to the nearest island and your boat keeps going. My ISP has been dropping my connection alot lately, maybe I will have to carry around 5 boats. LOL idk

I strongly disagree with the last changes, wich is most unfair to the players who spent hundreds of hours and tens of millions to get themselfs a bio pet. Also, if the no recall aspect was planned 4 years ago, there was certainly not a 200+ daily player base at that time. Now, when you head somewhere in fel, there is 99% of the chances that the monster or the spawn you are heading for is completed or in progress. I would take a dialup connection to walk to ice island in 2006 and be 99% sure that I will do the activity I planned on over a high speed connection heading somewhere I am almost sure is unavailable.

Just my two cents... :(

I have to agree im not happy with the change. Dragging my bio pets out of tough spots was hard enough before, but now we also have to drag them into the hard locations also...ARGH!

Walking long distances has always been a bit of a pain and a time waster on this shard, this just doubles the frustration for many of us.

yup i agree totally with you all ,. dragging a bio to all the dungeons now is going to be a major major pain , its hard enough killing some things solo , take slaarion for example , hard but not too hard when u can run in to him and summon a bio , but now you have no chance since your bio will die on the way to his building unless you got a gang of people with you . recalling out of felucca is very bad butr i can live with that change , i feel cheated since i just donated to get some ed for things and now i feel i dont have to motivation to walk my pet to prism of light or anywhere else , walking there with a pet ok fair enough isnt the worst thing in the world , but after you have defeated the boss or whatever you came for you gotta walk back out ?? what a joke this is seriously a bad change , colibrit said dont hate on me . so who do we hate on for this mindless time wasting change ? also how do you get across to blighted with a pet that doesnt teleport ? did you not think about these things before you made this change ? we need answers :verymad: :verymad: :verymad:

I agree. This actually makes biopets suck now, since nobody in their right mind would even consider walking a biopet all the way to the (hopefully not already in progress) spawn in Fel. This wouldn't be half as terrible if biopets didn't move amazingly slow. I feel like I wasted 20m on bios.

What I can't avoid pointing out as well is that this is felt by most (if not all) vets on this shard, which makes it noteworthy at the very least.

so is colibri gonna comment on this? or just make the changes and stick with it, regardless of nearly every single player thinking the no pet summoning is a bad idea, does he realize that he's ruined one of the best things about this shard? (bio pets), because now nobody will be buying them because of their uselessness, yet people who use shrinkable pets arent affected at all. colibri i think democracy needs to come into action here and we have a vote on it, because its blatantly unfair to people who have invested time and effort, AND real $$ to buy a bio pet. only to have them made ridiculously limited.

Hello All ---> I Belive The New Changes Do Affect The Bio-Pet UseRs The No Recall Thing Is Not That Big Of A Deal But The Summning Of The Uber Pets We Spent Alot Of Time/$$$ Seems Unfair Now. I Say If This Was Sposta Be A Rule Years Ago Then Why Then Why Implement The Pet Summn Ball's In The 1st Place??. Also Wuld Like To Add That If The Change Stays The Way It Is Then I Think The Useing Of 10-20 Trans Powder Each SummN Might Be The Better Option Rather Than Not Being Able To Call Them To You @ All. No Matter What The Rules/Changes Are I Am Here 2 Enjoy The Game! And Enjoy! The Compney Of My Excelsior Family = )

To me there is terrible lack of consideration towards *US YOUR CUSTOMERS* because this is what we are , i bought a personnal world teleporter for 200EDS that i bought with REAL CASH.To me the investment was worth it considering how much time i spend into felluca and by the same time i was giving back to a server (which i did more then once!) that i really love playing on . Its a priviledge you took away from me . Not even going to talk about the bios .. Im just plain mad right now and not seeing any progress in that move ...

Your loyal customer !!!

also what are you supposed to do in an emergency , if you have family matters that need taking care of what are you gonna do with you bio that you might have spent real earned cash on > ? just leave it to die in a dungeon ? this hasnt been thought thru and has just been sneaked on everyone and its just like it or lump it , im pissed to say the least , a good shard might have just been ruined totally

Ugh never liked having to run from the entry gate in Fel to the solen hive or down to trinsic to take a boat to marble island in the first place. While I have Biopets I don't use them very often to start with because you have to take back to a stable or pet ball summon in 1st place. I'm sure people use Alt characters to see if champ is up, but then who wants to spend time running to an empty spawn. With the new restrictions, you now have to run back out as well and are going to be try'n to drag along your biopet as well. I have multiple pets with me but can ride a horse to where I'm going and then throw out 4 more. Biopet owners can not do that. Also, now if I go do the solen quest or even a champ spawn I have to walk all the way back out, how is this making things better for anyone? I know +Colibri said it was his original intention to have it this way, so I guess I'm asking what was the reasoning for wanting it this way in the first place. Also, seems that you are nerf'n Bracelets of Binding, Pet Summoning Balls, Biopets and personal world transporters all at the same time. All of these items were intended to make moving around easier and now we are making it harder to move around. I don't consider this an improvment to the shard. I also know that a lot of people have opinions about champs and people getting them before they do, but this is not really going to solve the champ being down when you get there. Server population is at an all time high and still the same amount of champ slots available. means a lot less champ time for everyone. I would like to at least see teleport gates at say Fel Yew, Trinsic and maybe Vesper or Minoc if it is going to be this way and not more secret spots...Just my 2 cents

Very well said Valen wolf , this is exactly right ruining more than 1 thing at once and making moving around the shard even harder and almost totally wiping out bios is ridiculous , why cant you guys come up with some new challenges for everyone rather than making the perfectly fine ones much slower to get to and from , i for one have no motivation to ever do peerless again if this is the way its staying. : (

Bah...

I guess I am the only Wacko here...

1. No recalling out is a good idea. especially if there is like 4 entrance and exit!
2. Bio walk is crazy ! i am with you all on that one, but They did mention Extra Charges to Summon them and I am for that!
3. I would love these rules if they had more custom stuff in Fel.
4. I have a bigger problem with Peerless Monster Spawn Rates ( don't confuse with item drop rate that should be low) i just dont see the point of sitting on a monster spot for 30+ mins for it to spawn.


LET FEL BE AN ADVANCED PLACE TO HUNT!

but they already changed everything back so I guess all the crying was worth it.

PS. we didnt buy world teleports we donated money to the server and you got a reward!!! not paying customers just supporting a free server!!

OH and if you cant get around fast in fel running on a mount then stay in TRAM!
