There was a bit more extreme and in depth discussion in my
topic made not while ago. I must admin that my suggestion is a bit radical and may not be plausible for older generation of the players. However, when you think more about it you get the reasoning very fast, it was suggested for the greater good of our people. As a veteran and one of the most wealthiest and powerful players ever played this game I am going to give two cents for this topic.
-Atm staffs are doing the weekend events. However, I can see players dissatisfaction echoing around the forums but they never gave any solid input why would they feel like that. I personally like the concept and can't say anything bad about that one no matter if I had a bad luck or something because I never found any tauros on the event. I can't ignore other variables of the event just because I had ****ty luck. As for the official events of a larger caliber such as Legendary cup and 2013 official event, players were moaning about the prizes given and brought up one of the most famous stories in PWO and that is the staff having their favorite. Those made a huge mess in community because people were literally saying "**** you, we don't appreciate what you have done. Maybe around that time I've learned that people are forgetting how and why to appreciate something. If theres any miracle and we get another official event, players should be given the odds before event even starts because most of the PWO players are bit specific. they don't like being baffled and teased, because they think youre plotting against them.
- If am going to be selfish here which I don't want I can say that Hoenn will not do much for me because I already have almost everything from Hoenn in my Pokemon box. I would be probably stat hunting some nub Pokemon once in a while. I've had Hoenn for years in Token Store though. However, newer player will find that as a revolutionary update theyve been waiting for a while by now. People who are about to join will think of like it's something normal not worthy of talking about and they might even start asking for Sinnoh while suggesting few fixes for Hoenn, like they do now for Johto. Pretty much the never ending story of players asking for something new, that will be always happening, it's normal.
- I wonder why do you think that PWO needs new staff while the current ones are active or not active? I have a feeling that you are more thinking about certain rank then staff as whole? From what Ive gathered through years...I can only see a problem with past GMs and DEVs who even committed high treason and ruined many aspects of the game that are never going to subside, such as injecting a good portion of spawned Pokemon into circulation. Even today you can see a lot of them being active on the accounts of innocent players who payed for those as they were proper and legal. They even started deleting forums and stuff while the main villain in this story was a DEV and thats Zidonuke. His acts also resulted in high treason while ruining the whole staff image. I can't see any other issues with current staff atm.
- Personally, I wouldn't touch anything before we get proper battle code. Battle code has to be removed and re-written from the scratch IMO. In my opinion and from my experience, the battle is the most important aspect of the game, I even put trading after it. That is the reason why I was focusing to other aspects of the game, to become competitive and show the product of my work through the time. More or less the battle means everything to me, after friends of course.
- If we get natures and abilities everything will change, a lot of Pokemon will become useful. You are not going to hunt for a certain Pokemon and its stats, you will hunt for certain Pokemon, nature, stats and ability. Will give a whole new dimension both to hunting and battling. I am strongly against adding anything new before that because they will be overused in a day or two. I mentioned that "overused" term already in my topic I linked you above.
- I do agree that the story needs revising. Take NPCs or 2 for example, they barely follow each others story wise, excluding the events of course.
- I also agree that leaders should be given at least
basic stuff to manage the guild properly. However, I am afraid that no meaning of the guild will be found just because you have option or two more. I often get inspired when i see a newbie asking " what use do I have being in the guild". Their question gives you a lot of answers and ideas too. I believe that system is yet to be redone and I know it's probably almost complex as battle engine, if not more.
No matter what update happens I will be probably doing the same thing because I did my time already. If I feel like battling or trolling I can always do that because I can always adapt to any changes made. When I was polishing my skills I was thinking about that and what might happen in the worst scenario. However, I decided not to be selfish and I am looking forward to any changes made for the sake of our people and those who are yet to join this game. When I was suggesting the game reset, among many other things I had those you named in my mind long ago. I was thinking about how to give the same chances to everyone (newbies and vets), how to make people appreciate what they have, how to prevent stuff and Pokemon being overused...That is how the idea about the reset came to my mind. Personally I don't care about myself because I did my time, I helped out to many people and guided them through the dark valley and tough times. I even rewarded their loyalty by giving them some of my stuff and actually opening my heart for them and I will keep doing so because I can't nerfe myself no matter how much I am trying. I am advising and encouraging every veteran to do so, loyal members and newbies will have a much greater role in this society then we, we already did our part it's just a normal circle that will always happen. Every person has a potential to be a force for greater good, some of them might require showing the direction so why not? I totally understand how a lot people are feeling and I am aware that we have fallen under hard times. Such topics started to echoing recently and pretty sure they will be echoing a lot more. We can't allow our emotions to dictate with our decision, this is the worst time to be selfish and start panicking.
