Robocop:


 
 

Horizon:

Been catching Botter since Get Loose told us that he discover it at Merac. At first I thought it was my usual farming spot, but after visiting the location I realized that it was another location nearby. Both the location are good spot as the pumpkin spawn faster, but I prefer the other location as there are two pumpkin nearby to each other.

The one which Get Loose told us is XChardoX which is doing it at Channel 6, I found another one on Channel 5 which is named Mpox. XChardoX shift to Channel 2 after getting PK by Rick after he saw the Screen Shot which Get Loose posted and the Video I post. Another Rogue named Poetic Justice get PK by Rick too as he was nearby and could be the main toon monitoring his own bot.

Then drama started as batman claim Rick PK one of his friend and they start to PK each other alternate. But either way the whole PK drama is nothing related to the botter in my opinion. Sly had confirm that XChardoX is one of Rinsh alternate, but we are not sure if Mpox is in any way related. XChardoX is a Level 88 Arch Wizard and Mpox is a Level 71 Arch Wizard, from the video I can see that both are using Choas Nova AOE which is targetless.

XChardoX seem to have longer interval between the activation of skill, I think it is because he does not have any Skill Cool Down Reduction. But from the video it can be seen that both of them activate the skill before the pumpkin spawn and non of the active players would ever do so. They can argue that they are not really AFK as they might be monitoring it with another toon or using dual display.

Manage to win the Halloween Spooky Story Contest, the other player who won is Just Shot. Athena and Just Shot also won the Pumpkin Craving and Spooky Baking, Just Shot also won the Creepy Costume and Horror Film too. As there are not much players on both Horizon and Pandora, some prize are left unclaimed.

The prize for Spooky Story are 3 Safe Socket Scroll, 15 Legendary Scroll, 15 Socket Reset Card and 300 Curse Removal Scroll. Pumpkin Craving prize are +30 Weapon, 500 Pumpkin and Basket and 300 IDB and Gold Booster. Spooky Baking prize are 100 Strong Med, 500 Pumpkin and Basket and 300 IDB and Gold Booster. Creepy Costume prize are Costume, 500 Duration Extender, 500 Pumpkin and Basket. Horror Film prize are +30 Weapon, 500 Pumpkin and Basket and 300 IDB and Gold Booster.

 Guess the biggest winner is Just Shot, but that is what most people expected as he had always been very enthusiastic on taking advantage of anything that come along his way. Moza had been trying to buy Easter Bunny for 1B, who in the right mind would even sell something that value at around 20B to her at that price. A few of them had been thinking that they own the server after they found out that only 7 of them are active and had brought Fawkes Gems to get the Loyalty Rewards.

Future Improvement:

 After playing for so long I think there are a lot of area the game can be improved, for starter they can improve the Hit Rate for Royal Knight as the buff should be related to their strongest qualities. The Rogue can also be given Evasion Buff too, or even better a Drop Rate Buff. All Class should have Stun Skill and AOE Skill, for AOE Skill the private server had been doing well with this improvement.

Next is to work on the Pets, for official server the pet HP and Stats had been low which make most of them useless at higher level. The private server had been doing it well in this area and even surpass it by the introduction of AOE Pets until they Nerf it. The Pets can be further improve on both servers by giving them more useful skill as follows:

Wing Tiger Speed Mount with Earth AOE

Wing Serpent Speed Mount or Chinese Dragon with Wind AOE or Speed Buff

Giant Tortoise Mount with Defense Buff or Water AOE

Phoenix with Resurrection Skill or Fire AOE 

Ox or Bull with Stun Skill or Attack or Berserk Buff

Nine Tail Fox with Charm Skill or Fire AOE
 
Golden Monkey with Drop Rate Buff

Garuda Speed Mount with Lighting AOE

 They can make the pet system in a way where we can fight them as a Boss and tame them to become pet, they should be able to battle each other with the Elemental System which is a waste just because most players are unable to understand it. The removal of Elemental System and the overly focus on PVP Balance had cause the PVE players getting Nerf.

For the official server, they should make leveling of both toon and pets easier and make use of the existing quest rewards better to suit the progress. The Pictorial Book and Affinity System should be design in a way that progress with the leveling so that the players would not have to make new toon for farming the production material or XP Lock to complete the Affinity.

 The private server lack of events can be improve by using official server events as an example which ensure that there are different events every months. And they should not limit the events to only higher level with separate Event Map but make good use of low level map and their existing quest like the official server to help newbie learn more about the game and enjoy it more. The single path progression and limited option had make most players quit at lower level when they encounter difficulty.
