Hey everyone. I've been playing this game for a few years now and I've come to love/hate the game all at once. I try to get other friends to join but the truth is, this game has no mercy for new players. Here are the biggest things I've seen people complain about and ways I think would fix some of the issues.
Crime: The way the system is right now, there is barely any consequence on doing any crime. Kill a greenie on a hauler to steal his packs to earn a whooping 10 crime points. It's a joke. Packs need to have crime attach to them.
Jail Time The way you serve time needs to change too. What 95% of all criminals do is get sent to jail before bed and serve their time while they sleep. Serves no purpose that way. A simple fix would be to have them do a repeatable quest like picking up trash or weeding X amount of times before they are free (X=mins they would serve in jail) This forces them to actually take place in their punishment
Infamy Infamy should stack over time with NO way to lose it other then time (everyday you lose 10 or something). This way the rich can't get away with everything buying forgiveness pots. Once the player hits 3000k infamy, they can receive a Capital punishment (Either have to pay gold or chance to downgrade an equipment, something serious). The game encourages way to much green pirating and this would help that.
Pirates Pirates should be free to choose that they want to be one rather then steal 1000 apples from a random person. A simple quest line to become a pirate is all that is needed. They'll need a harder quest of redemption too if they wish to return. Also Pirates would have the ability to attack in peace areas at the risk of getting send to jail (Pirates would never receive capital punishment but would receive more repeatable quest to do)
Regrades This is always a hot topic but I think most people agree that its not the failure that makes us rage, its the DOWNGRADE. A simple fix would be to eliminate the downgrade chance and up the cost of each regrade by X amount. Also depending on the grade, they require more scrolls to use (Grand=1 scroll, Rare = 3 scrolls, Arcane =6 scrolls)
Sorry for the long post but these were my ideas. Feel free to pick them apart or agree to what you like.
