Shaiya Kingston Forum

Ok so we've been farming and pvping for a bit and i've talked to a couple of pvpers and basically everyone had same likes as well as same dislikes about the server.

Few things that are the main bother are the lapis changes compared to tactics - aka lvl7s mainly. What was good about the Tactics setup was that you had lvl5-6 lapis, dual 1-4, dual 5 and special OI lapis. This gave you possibilities of various builds, high dex, full dps, hybrid half tank, tank etc where you had to choose how you want to link. You could link a +44 pure stat lapis that took 2 slots or you could go a different way and link a 3 stat hybrid made out of 2 dual 5s to gain multiple stats.
Here you're basically forced to max out with 7s and 6s and then have a slight difference compared to other people depending which dual 5 you'll go for basically.
Also heard more people talk about disbalance between classes compared to tactics.

So we've been talking about how it would be if it were changed to old tactics set up with the lapis? Meaning to have OI map working again, remove lvl7s completely and introduce OI lapis that would be 44-45 stats and taking up 2 slots, and most importantly special flash and GRB lapis would have actually meaning here when you couldn't pack up your weaps with lvl7s.

Another suggestion would be to put boxes or beika monkeys spawn when boss is at like 3-5% of health, to randomize the drops a little bit, since you know that when for example, server restarts, people who make the raid first will have the drops in that order. This way would be more fair.

I'd like to hear opinion from other people, as well if someone has any other input on the subject.

Lapis are fine dont think they would change it now anyways as it would require relinking (and aint farming linking hammers a bish!)

I agree with the second point tho having boxes or monkeys to randomize the drops would be good as the bosses only drop 3-4 items and not everyone gets something all the time

Oh sorry, about the monkey/box part, to elaborate so other people get it too if someone won't know what we're talking about. They can drop stuff like FC2/3 just to spam people's inventories so no one can know who will get drop from boss when it dies after those boxes/monkeys xD

I totally agree with what Kingo says +1 and i wanna add few more suggestion (if you remove 7s, please increase stats of special lapises - Kingston flash 1 +10 stats, Kingston flash 2 +15 stats, Kingston sonic +20 stats, Kingston ele +15 stats), also you can put Kingston ele's as FB 5 drop on very low % cus they are very rare atm. Reduce drop rate of fortune coins and make gold more valuable, atm its useful only for enchanting and linking.

just a lil question, why do you want this server to look pretty much the same as tactics?
i always loved the ep5 server that also includes lv7 lapis.
there are alreayd numberous ways to build your char, change your stat build or change your link build. that can make a huge difference. so a change in lapis isnt needed. in my opinion tho.

i do agree on that some classes are a bit unbalanced, like fighter/warriors their blackhole combo is to OP.
same goes for the ranger/assassin mental storm lure, confusion ( just lasts to long ).
thats all i think is a lil to OP.

i do agree we could use some more stuff ingame, so we have more to do. for when there isnt any pvp. but we gotta remember its a new server. so they first focus on bugs, small changes ect.

Well thing that attracted this many people so quick is the Tactics similarity. Atm also there are 10-15 more pvpers that are coming to the server soon, just cause they heard it has similarities to tactics. There's a reason for it, and it was cause it was very balanced pvp with that kind of lapis set up so majority likes it. Hope you get my point of view about it. I'm not trying to impose anything, just making suggestions in case people might agree on them. It's a bit too late to want this server to be different from tactics when 90% of it is the same, and there's nothing wrong with the similarity so far. Not like pservers haven't already stolen the whole game, there's nothing wrong with borrowing things from other private servers as well.

I agree with muppet's suggestion also, and i'd like to add few more things. Admins have decided to go with Sacra lapisia also for perfect enchant, but while on tactics it was used only for enchanting from 10 to 11, here we need it for 3 enchants per piece and only dios drops it. For people that go to pvp with minimum of gear, say 2 tops 4 weaps, that's 30 lapisia. So atm with dios being 12h spawn with 2h window, it can take over half a month to gather enough lapisia for one person. So might be cool to get some additional boss in near future that would also drop these to make them a bit more common on the server.

we already have the lapisias on the item mall, they are 10k.
i suggest to make it like 5k since getting 10k will take a while.
thats all for lapisias, in my opinion.

5k for lapisia ? so u gonna need like 150 k KP only to enchant to [20], its too much since set+ 4 weaps costs 80 k KP. Maybe they should drop from every boss (Kimu,Sera,Dios) or add them to FB 5s as very rare drop.

i prefer to have the lapis the way it is .... tactics died for a reason ... this is NOT tactics
