  1. Technically, spamming isn't & was never allowed/authorized on Zenyte (see rule #1). So, if he was indeed spamming, he should have been warned/punished. Although, it is quite hard to prove, make up someone's mind, when your screenshots are missing the timings. At the moment, it doesn't show much, beside him advertising within his rights do to so. When it comes to the Help CC, I totally agree with you; it is & has always been up to the Staff members' discretion to authorize it; it really depends the timing in-between the messages.

    Anyhow, I do not see why it wouldn't be added as a sub-rule to the #8, see below:

    For the moment, I am suggesting you to use this option as an alternative. It isn't a perfect solution (cause there's no such thing as unicorns), but it can push the frustration aside when you are trying to enjoy your gameplay @Worst hc lul

    Definitely unique idea, but putting hours of work into an account that will be deleted due to a potential dc isn't something I'd find fun to play. 

    I mean you could argue that HC -> iron is technically the same thing, but at least you can continue to play the account without losing progress outside your red helmet. 

    You can for example sell your items for money in order to buy bonds and start a new hcim if you choose to do so.

    Of course that doesn't mean that other players can't or won't like the idea, but that's just my personal opinion on why I wouldn't find it enjoyable although the idea itself is nice on paper but in reality it isn't as nice. Hopefully I managed to explain properly why I don't like the idea.

    Very true. I didn't think about being disconnected. It chances everything then

  3. Welcome back to the forums as well as in-game @Der. I do recall seeing your name a while back. I don't think you know me as I was away from Oct. 19 to June. 20. Happy to see you found your way back to Zenyte!

    P.S. Very cute doggos ❤️

    Right, as I said the rudeness came from you, but the moment I gave you the same treatment you started to complain. 

    You're more than welcome to report me or anyone else for that matter, but I'm slightly unsure what use I could possibly do with the information that you're reporting me.

    Sadly for you I'm perfectly aware of Zenyte rules and there isn't much to report anyway. You do realize that all of this is public chat for everyone to see on the forums? My point being that I don't exactly have anything to hide and therefore I couldn't care less if you report any of the things I've said here because I'm perfectly fine saying it because it's in line with Zenyte rules. 

    Being rude is not against the rules or else I would have reported you as well and I'm only rude to those who are rude to me so that's entirely up to you which kind of treatment you want from me because it's 100% based on how you treat me.

    Do I enjoy being rude? Absolutely not, I'd prefer having a reasonable conversation instead, but there isn't much else I can do if someone else comes here with their half troll comments instead of caring about the game & actually trying to have a discussion on how we could make it more enjoyable for the players. It's fine if you don't care, because you don't have to, but at least be quiet if you don't have any constructive feedback.

    Again I don't care if you agree/disagree with my suggestions or if you're completely neutral. 

    The only thing I care about is bringing up valid points for why you agree or disagree on something and perhaps if you have any own ideas.

    Other comments are quite useless, because a simple "no" or "I disagree" doesn't help, because it doesn't give any proper feedback on why you dislike the idea & doesn't give any indication to any direction on what the players would want to see if they only come here with a simple "no".

    Collecting data on what players would want is the main idea. What do they like & dislike, but more importantly why?

    You could also show more appreciation towards people that are willing to put hours of their own time into suggestions even if you dislike & disagree unless you simply don't care about Zenyte anymore, but if you didn't care it would be slightly weird why you even comment in the first place on Zenyte forums. So I'm going to assume that you care at least on some level, but maybe I'm wrong.

     

    I also wish you a happy day.

    You already said that

    What comes around goes around. If you're complaining about me being disrespectful (if I understand you correctly) perhaps you should be taking a good look at yourself first. It doesn't matter to me if you're agreeing, disagreeing or completely neutral as long as you're respectful & capable of explaining your point of view.

    "I didn't even try to understand" isn't exactly the kind of comment that is going to get you any respect. You may as well keep yourself out of the discussion then instead of giving useless comments. I expected more from an ex staff & veteran player.

    "Newish" had a reasonable response for example but he didn't exactly agree with me or at least not on everything anyway.

    He was also capable of admitting that he doesn't have a better solution to present at the moment either which is why he received some extra kudos for that.

    Not exactly my problem if you feel offended because I went down to your level with my response. 

     

    You are definitely taking it way too seriously Ashi. I also don't agree, and as mentioned above, don't feel okay with you being so rude. I will be transparent with you and say that I reported you last comment as it was unnecessary.

    Regardless, I am wishing you a happy day and hoping @Gepandoes indeed look forward in some of your suggestions mentioned in your original post. There was some, not all, that deserved to be looked into.

    Quite a pointless response then?

    1) You firstly claim that you'd really like to understand this post

    2) At the same time you admit you didn't understand

    3) Then you also admit that you didn't even try to understand it although you just said that you really wanted to understand it?

    In other words: Your "wanting to understand" and "didn't try to understand" comments are in conflict with each other and therefore your

    response was simply nothing else but USELESS.

    I on the other hand did try to understand your logic behind replying to something that you weren't capable of understanding meanwhile you really wanted to understand but which you didn't even try to understand?

    So with what result did I end up after trying to understand & analyze your logic behind your extremely weird response?

    I'm simply not going to say it because I rather not insult your intelligence. Have a good day

     

    Oh and next time you bother commenting on something you may want to decide whether you want to try to understand it or not, just some friendly advice for the future so that people may take you seriously.

    I understood the first one, because it was well explained. However, the structure of your sentences, in your second post, confused me. That's all. No need to be passive-aggressive towards individuals replying in the opposite direction of your point of view.

    By the way, I don't really like you telling me ''I should take your friendly advice''. I feel like you downgrading me, which seems pointless here. You might need to lower down a little bit, friend.

    That's short sighted which will maybe be beneficial in the short term but have a negative impact on the economy & server itself in the long run.

    Getting players at what cost? Making the economy worse? Many players play Zenyte because it's a good economy (FOR NOW) but having constant double drops etc will hurt the game in the long run. 

    The best way to get players is by bringing quality updates. Double donations might be a marketing tactic but it doesn't have to be DOUBLE? It could be 25-50%.

    What you think is maybe working in the short term but will simply turn Zenyte into any other RSPS in terms of economy being bad with too many items in the game that aren't bought by players because they already have them since obtaining everything is too fast and that also leads to people becoming bored and leaving the game if there's not enough to do.

    Marketing with donations boost is important & having different kind of events but the reward must be more significant than the damage both short & long term.

    That's why double donations isn't a good idea at least not more than 1-2 times a year but I'm not against donation boost being slightly more common especially if it's 20-50%.

    I also think we need a different solution for double drops.

     

    I would really like to understand this post, but I don't.. lol not that I tried, Anyways


  8. Double donations is a marketing tactic that (a) works and (b) brings, in the end, new players to the server as well as new items. I do not see why stopping it would be really that beneficial? It has obviously pros and cons, just like pretty much anything, but the pros of it surpassed the cons.

    GUYS. I've been thinking about it and I had an idea for one of your poll questions, IF those tools you guys mentioned would be named ZENYTE tools and that we'd get rid of the creating the whole bars thing... THEN I would 420% support that suggestion & be willing to change my vote if it were possible !!!! 


    How can those Zenyte tools be created?.... Same way as you create your zenyte jewlry and shit... Use a Zenyte shard, but instead on an Dragon Axe/Pick/Harpoon .. to create Zenyte tools..... Still custom ... I know.. BUT it would currently flow very well with the zenyte starting weapons and the Zenyte beta armour.... What do you guys say??

    Sounds more reasonable indeed

    Votes (no matter how they were) & if player count increased after that still can't be proven that it was due to the slayer pet update because nobody can prove the correlation between them.

    For all we know it could be the wilderness updates or TOB rumors or almost anything, take a random pick.

    Either way were getting off topic here because I'm at least not here to argue or discuss whether slayer pets were the reason for increased player count or not.

    I only wanted to correct you because I think it's unfair for someone in a high position as yourself to make such a claim without the capability to prove it and due to your position there's people that might believe what you said without double checking the facts. 

    Again, everyone's entitled to have any opinion they want & no hate on you or anything. I'd just prefer if we would stick to facts here.

    Fair point, and we will leave this conversation here as it's off-topic. If you want more information, you know where to find me.

    I just want to clarify one thing:
    In terms of ''high position'', I wouldn't call myself being above anybody. It's true, I do have to have a higher standard, but at the end of the road, I need to follow pretty much the same guideline as anybody playing the server. Moreover, I believe seeing himself above someone is one of the many reasons why we have conflicts in communication. You can see me as such, as others might do too, but I am definitely not above any of you. If I fuck up, I will be heavily punished. In fact, I'd say I am under you for that specific reason; I don't have second chance normally. 🤠

     

    If you allow me @CIA, I will quote your primary intervention so people can start where we left it:

    Quote

    Just do what is needed to keep your players & get new ones?

    Not in any specific order/priority:

    - Theatre of blood

    - Construction

    - Group iron man

    - Wilderness updates (revs single +, demonic gorillas deep wild 25-33% easier drop rate, buff larrans keys+chest & much more

    - Revision upgrade

    - Nightmare boss

    - Fix accuracy for ags/claws/dbow/gmaul/bolt spec (dmg for bolt spec as well) & dding under other players

    - $10k donator rank, more vote rewards, more stuff to donator store, more stuff to bh shop, more stuff to slayer shop & more donator perks.

     

    The previous management didn't do updates or then they did updates that weren't important enough to keep players interested, don't do the same mistakes. BE SMARTER THAN THEM!

     

    Happy brainstorming!

    It's not about if I can or can't, it's the fact that I don't need to since I wasn't the one claiming that it's based on facts or statistics.

    Having an opinion about slayer pets being the potential reason for increased player count is one thing since everyone's entitled to have an opinion whether it's right or wrong but claiming it's based on statistics isn't maybe the most smart & fair thing to do unless you can prove it and I'm telling you right now, you or anybody else (including Matt) can't prove it.

    Again, everyone's free to believe what they want, nothing wrong about that.

    There is an API tracking our player count as well as our overall votes; one of them is located in the AdminCP the other is publicly available. When you say that there isn't a way to be sure that a specific update had an incidence on the player count, you are partially right. It is well know that, nothing is always 100% sure. It's a no-brainer. However, with the proper tools, which I have on my computer (blame university), I could approx. say (90-95% sure; which is very strong) that ''yes'' Update X or Z had an impact on the player count. I could also play on multiple factors if I really wanted to such as advertisements, emails or even as simple as the broadcast on the forum. The list is very long.

    Anyway, all that was to say, we have the stats, we can make them speak, but I will definitely not spend 8 hours of my time building such answer (remember -> me -> uni -> busy). The point wasn't to show y'all that you were wrong, it was to briefly explain that there's indeed tools available.


  12. Just now, CIA said:

    I can guarantee you there's 0 ways to prove that the slayer pet update increased player count / was the reason for it.

    Doesn't mean it wasn't the reason but I'm saying there's no way to prove it.

    Can you? 🙃


  13. 7 minutes ago, CIA said:

    Well to be fair there's 0 evidence for that and if your statistics are based on player amount increased after that update then it's no real statistics because there's no way to prove it's because of that update & not other reasons. 

    They are in the AdminCP

    Either way even if it was a fact then there's the issue that many other updates that are by far more wanted & useful would bring even more players which leads slayer pet update not as attractive compared to the other options.

    Once we have majority of the important stuff done then that's the right time to start doing updates like that.

    I couldn't agree more 😉

    What statistics? I don't count 10-20 returning players after months as reviving the player count

    There has been more than 10-20 returning players; more like 30 + 10 new players.
