    OK - new patch, new class, no drops....


    Seems like with 2.7 we are now in the realms we wanted to avoid. You get no drops of any worth at all. Did new characters level 1 to 18 and 1 to 14. No drops other than junk like scraps or panacea pots at all. Used to get white drops to sell or rubbish armour weapon. It seems these are no more. So you can gather items to sell on the broker at lower level or to the merchant to fun buying skills.


    I hate to to think the impact at higher levels - seems we are now in the realms of zero drops, zero returns.... did we get the nerfed drop version of 2.7?

    GF took the servers down not DDOS and didnt give warning which they state in the TOS they would do - DDOS.... yeah bad server design more like... still bad of GF to not say a thing on the server populace impact


    over 7 hours+ downtime peak weekend lol

    Apply to Gameforge, if you can do it better or know it better, it won't happen again in the future. ;)

    Nah I am Architect at a firm where we know how to design things that work.

    Drop rate is shit... lucky charm amulet - level 45/46 mobs.... a few manastones, some shitty scolopen drops and a level 24 blue armor worth 2K.... after killing loads and loads of empty mobs.... this is so bad and we've paid for this... come on up the drop rate from 0.00001% please

    So this weekend it started well... Saturday the Atreia server was down for over 5 hours. When it came back up finally it wasn't long and it was taken down for emergency maintenance. At this time lots of people were in instances.... and they were lost.


    Tahbata then was taken down.... I suspect the same instances lost on that server.


    Not 20 minutes after Atreia was up again - with people chancing instances the server again went down. So multiple instances lost..... the chat was quite entertaining with the comments when people finally got back, especially those who were on the final boss of an instance when taken from them.


    Head to Sunday - again server outages... again complaints of lost instances.


    So the server uptime was pretty much like the pitiful drop rate - extremely poor. What does a support ticket get you? Nowhere just that have to put up with it and "IF" Gameforge choose to do any compensation they would look for all.


    Now this is the interesting part... we PAY for access to a game, we get no communications and we just have to accept this. Up the drop rate, reset instances on server restarts like the OLD DAYS so we don't suffer this instance limitation and lose out on our only real chance of drops in the game as the open world drop rate of 0.00001% is bad.

    Just reset the instance timers ! People all over have been impacted with this and not doing so just speaks of arrogance - "you paid so what"

    So I just updated my ticket they said was all sorted now - with another fail and pointing out this has killed instance entries as in wasted them..

    For a paid service should be 24/7 support. Hell they have a page stating the server is offline so they should have had an alert. My company has monitors and within 15 minutes someone is called out to check on issues to resolve...


    I suspect we'll be down for hours and hours and no comp, nothing.
