Can we make it less easy for people to camp the Spawn of FI? I know people are doing this to delevel to minmax, but it really sucks for people like myself, new players lower than lvl 50, who cant play anymore for the night if we choose to try to hunt there.  I lost 15% due to not being able to move from the spawn, and restarting just gets me killed again.  Thanks.

Nethersteve, 

I agree, it does make it difficult for players to get to FI. Do you have any suggestion on how to remediate this? The best complaints, are the complaints that also include a suggestion how how to fix it. Dont worry, we listen eagerly. 

Just add a potion that dlvls the characters to 10 with whatever the stats are. Then people won't do it for that reason at least.

You delevel faster outside FI o.0; Restart takes way tooo long.

Griefers and bullies will not change. That would require some help outside lineage.

@Charles

Spawn place/area safe, not combat.

Easy solved this one.

 

Also, like someone commented somewhere else: pine wands removed plz ;)

I believe the spawn area is a safety zone already, the issue is that they have gathered so many mops there that I literally can’t move from the spawn tile.

My suggestion would be either an item similar to a candle to delevel people, or a teleport to Hell scroll or something if people need somewhere to go just to die repeatedly. Or maybe something as simple as a command that could be typed in, (I feel like I’ve seen that on a server before)

thanks for the replies

This is an issue that should have been fixed before the server opened.  Deleveling/releveling for stats was a work-around of the game mechanics that was never intended but was discovered and exploited by player on live.  This issue was also fixed with the introduction of candles where everyone  was forced to use a candle and from that point could not delvel more than 10 levels below their max level.  So if a level 70 started to delelvel, once they hit 60 they could no longer delevel any furthur.  Also the minimum level to use an elixer on live was 45 as the minimum level to enter DI on live was level 45.  

+1 to above comment this being allowed to happen is completely broken and against what was intended hence why they fixed with what he said

Delvling is available to anyone so I dont see this as an "issue" or an "exploit". It takes a lot of time to delvl/relvl and you canno`t use a candle afterwards (otherwise, you have to delvl again to lvl 10 and lose all the work you`ve done). Keep in mind the HP or MP cap for most classes would not be attainable without delvling so I think it was intended from the start. Also, increasing your Con & Wis reduces your DPS by a lot. Trust me, there are pros and cons to delvl.  

Whatever they fixed in later Korean patches won`t happen here since we are using L1J-En client and some players on the server have already delvled, so you better deal with it.

Now for the FI issue, I suppose you shouldnt go there if you can`t handle at least 5-6 mobs at once (usually players will drag monsters from Ramias area which have very low health compared to other monsters on the island). Bring a pal or pets or summons and clears before you use the scroll.

@xcstyle I'd say that the 5-6 mobs isn't the problem as much as you're not supposed to drag to that spot. It's intended to be the 1 safe spot on screen to teleport into and die/respawn at. If anyone died legit and restarted in that spot they're doomed for an endless cycle there. There's a reason nothing spawns in that location.

Now I will agree delvl/relvl is a perfectly legit thing because it's random... Even after adding con/wis you can get ABSOLUTELY fucked by bad RNG and still not gain a ton of HP/MP or be blessed by the gods and come out with huge gains, you're gaurunteed some gains but there is a random roll there still... I remember on live getting a level, dying right after intentionaly if it was a low roll.. Ended up with 100 more hp than other players in the end it just took a lot of time. 30 levels at 3 hp better rolls is 90 hp. These people are getting 15 more hp for 70 levels but they WORKED for it.

We asked.the GMs to put in retroactive scaling of HP ss we wouldn't have to go through this. They decided against it. So now get your elixirs, delevel to 10 and then candle. If you don't do this you will be missing out. I gained around 300 hp at level 53. Compared to where I was before I deleveled. This is something that has to be addressed.at the start of the server not months into It.

 

As far as.FI. maybe make it so we could delecel with a potion in the shop or a command as otherwise FI is the fastest.
