In my opinion this is the worst update ever made on this server, it's like after hundreds of years of evolution we go back to the stone age.
After adding class res on costumes, class res on pets, class res on dss now let's remove class res from items and destroy 90%+ of the items on server. After tons of resources ( time, money ) spent, let's cancel all these years because we want to copy a broken model which by any means is not relevant to comparison ( i am talking about gameforge server in which class res and vs were not available since the first second + they have completely different stats on many items and even dss ).
My proposed solutions were never a secret and i even insisted repeatedly to make myself heard but unfortunetly with no effect.
I proposed several times to remove class res from costumes, pets and to nerf res from dss in order to increase overall dmg and to make pvp more attractive. I proposed several solutions to increase the money income from tec points - special rare items that are not meant to be cheap and can be bought with mileage points, for example changing dss stats or rarity.
By removing class res from costumes and pets and nerfing dss, it would still be possible to reach high res in open pvp in order to avoid one skill killings, but in 1v1 the effect would be huge and would bring this server to the right numbers.
Instead, we get 12int on solar sword and many items that will become useless even if we roll them, not to mention how many items were already destroyed.
By not having these 8 bonuses - class res and vs - we will achieve something amazing : all the players will use the same items, the same bonuses, the same res and vs. There will be nothing original, nothing hard to get and there will be no competition in achieving something special. Regarding business effect, i estimate that the impact will be negative in a drastic way because people will be able to roll items much easier. Instead of finding a way to increase income and to improve pvp system, i predict a major fall unless staff will consider some new options.
One last point that i wanna make is about the previous update which removed the IP block in dungeons, an update not so destructive, but bad enough to lower overall quality. I believe that in an ironic way, this update put staff in a huge disadvantage because players being able to farm gold so easily has only one way effect - people spend less real money because there is no need to.
This is my point of view over this situation and if anyone is willing to listen my alternative solutions i am here to give my suggestions in an objective compromise-compromise method.
