| I already did a lot of 'bot revamping to improve leveling speed post-20, but hardly anyone's been playing, so it's next to impossible to tell.
More bot sprites will happen as soon as I finish moving (yes, I am moving. Like... Saturday.) and have my own computer hooked up to a 'net connection again.
I'd love to say I know just how to alter things so that it's smoother and more fun, but with nobody playing, I've got no feedback to work off of. All I have is some basic stuff I worked out about relative values of stats, et cetera, so nothing that I'm putting in is being tested at all, nevermind extensively.
To a certain degree, we're in a downward spiral for the RPG:
People aren't playing because it's not as fun as it could be, therefore there's nobody telling me what's making it less fun, so I can't make it more fun, so people aren't playing because it's less fun, et cetera.
IF you want it to get better THEN you have to play, and let me know when you think things ought to be changed (it also wouldn't hurt to stay abreast of the 'updates' thread on this section of the forum, so that you know when I've changed something, rather than having to guess).
I've been working mostly on mapping out the job trees and plotting job stat bonuses lately, because there's been no changing I know whether or not to do....
At least that means we'll have full job trees (through level 999) fairly soon, but that still won't help if people don't start playing and giving feedback (I still haven't got anything at all in the way of feedback on Summons). |
