Unique changes

  • At the moment unique hunting is only about: who got the fastest reaction and the most Reverse Return Scrolls.
    Uniques like Uru and TG die often in less than 1minute. Lord is dead in 3 minutes and Isy in 2. Shaitan takes 4-5 minutes until he is dead too.


    The Styx Team should really consider to increase the hp of every unique, especially those on lower levels, A LOT! Right now you lost almost all chances to get the kill if your arrive just 5sec after the first one who got the unique.
    Also uniques should spawn more often. Styx points are almost useless while you need too many for buying anything. The Server focuses on killing uniques but most of the 300 players online did probably never even see any. Shaitan took over 7h yesterday to spawn.
    Because uniques spawn too rarely, everyone will always try to get them at the same time which minimizes the chance for most players to ever get a kill.

  • Yea, nice ideas.


    exept the unique spawn time. its perfect, i think^^
    you should "pimp" the uniques. give them more spawn points or add more uniques, like an own Stxy-Unique :D


    And also lows should have the chance to kill uniques :)

  • if the uniques will become harder to kill just players with good/better equip will get all kills, so the distance between good and bad players will increase ---> bad idea in my opinion


    unique killing is also about luck (like yesterday: isy spawned right into my face so i was able to get the kill instead of the level 90ff spear+5 guy who came a couple of minutes later)



    Venus : you say its a good idea to give the uniques more hp and you also want to give lows chances to kill uniques wtf ?

  • I think it's important to spawn uniques more often due to the things I talked about in my first post.
    When uniques are too rare, everyone will always search for them since it is their only chance for the next 4-7h to get a kill. And again only a few people would get almost every kill.


    powerteacher : Everyone is lv90 and there not that huge differences in itemization. HP should balanced so that uniques are not instantly dead and also not so long alive that you can't get kills with glaive or blade since some nuker is dealing a bit more damage for 10 minutes. But you still should have the chance of a kill even if you arrive a few seconds later, due to better items. This way it would be balanced between "luck" and damage and be more fair than it is right now.

  • If we spawn them too often, we will have an inflation of styx points which will result in spamming of zerk scrolls and dmg/def scrolls.
    Thats not a good idea, either.


    Ja, ich führe Selbstgespräche. Es gibt einfach Momente, da brauche ich den Rat eines Experten.

    Yes that is the problem, but that is what good server distinguishes, if they find a way to do that :D
    maybe it should give a unique-hunting area (e.g. the constantinople area).


    At one our: Unique-Area is open for Players Level 20-30 (uniques that could spawn there are TG, cerberus and ivy) and at some other hour players from level 30-40 get the chance to kill uniques.

  • I did talk about spawning them more often, not too often. To distribute Styx points on a wider pool of players. It won't make an inflation.. (check the thieving thread to do something against inflation ;) (and it seems like you removed zerk scrolls =O ))

    but if they would spawn them more than now it would be to much :D

    If you don't understand the problems I did talk about, please don't join this discussion. Thank you.
    BECAUSE they are spawning so rare only a few, always the same, people are getting the kills since they will alwys be there with the same party. This would not happen if uniques would spawn more frequently. As I said before, if it wouldn't be up 7h waiting time for Shaitan, not everyone would always go for him...

    yea, but the problem you are talking about is no problem.
    if they would spawn the uniques more often than now also the same people will kill them. just look to isro. that are 24/7 the same people that are killing the uniques. if the uniques in isro would spawn more often also the same people would kill them.
    and here it would be the same.
    also it would be better if reverse return gets deactivatet. so everyone had to run from the town.

  • Form a party and go for the kill on your own instead of flaming about other ones doing exactly that..

    Where did I say that I got no unique kills yet? Thanks for showing your stupidity here. Sadly it is not the right place to do it.
    It would not solve the problems with any other unique.


    Venuspower :
    I explained you the situation 2 times already and still you talk about something completely different?
    3rd time: It are always the same people because it's their only chance to get a kill for the next 4-7h. If they want a kill, they have no other option than waiting for it. More uniques would mean more chances (for everyone and for them) so they don't "have" to go for EVERY spawn anymore and probably won't do so.

  • yea, but the problem you are talking about is no problem.

    This thread is like writing an email to Joymax where you complain about players waiting for uniques.. Oh and uhm, i'm showing my stupidity? Telling someone that he is stupid for no reason obviously makes you stupid on your own ..

  • Level restrictions are pretty stupid. You need about 3 or 4 days until you reach level 90 so we add uniques which nearly no one can attack.
