| Author | ap rule spoil the game? |
|---|
i have done a little research, registered pl 245964,
from lvl 1 to lvl 4 232542, from lvl 5 to lvl 12 13422.
i think that players register play till lvl 4 and when they must wear arts as minimum AP (in lvl 5)they leave the hero and start a new or whatever. i think this is why there is that huge gap,and why economy still is in crisis.
i wait for yours opinions |
| Instead of counting people from level 1 to 4, count from 2 to 4. A great number of people stop playing the game after 1st battle, long before AP rule comes into play. |
My opinion:
You're wrong.
You may ask, why? There has been n+1 topics about this subject, start reading... |
| lvl 1 more then 192.000, is normal for online games, just trying if they like it..... |
Shebali is right as always ^_^
Level 1-1 ->Characters matched - 192595
Level 2-4 -> Characters matched - 39947
Level 5-12 -> Characters matched - 13422 |
| what economy are we talking about??? it is simply no and will not be 100% |
your method is very incorrect...
If you really want to fin dout if there is a gap, find the amount of people in each level and then look at the difference between level 4 and 5 compared to the other gaps |
ap rule doesn't spoil the game in the way you see it. if you won't spend your money on arts, on what would you spend it then? gambling?
however, it does spoil the game in the way there is min ap, but there is no max ap per combat level. ;)
the thing you spotted...
players play till level 4, waste their money on unnecessary 30 different arts and then... they simply can't delete that hero. unlike all others all over the world, this game lacks the delete player option.
will there be some max ap rule or remove the player option? maybe. but such things are not even in the plans.
anyway, i've posted in some older post, there is ipslne's nice guide about ap rule and arts investment. and we can't force new players to read the forum. |
lvl 6-12 5269 players, 60% of the players leave it in lvl 5.
i dont have any problem w AP rule, i play most of hunts or mercenary quest w full arts but is simply sad to see such numbers. |
people that like it, wont complain
people that dont like it, are looking for an excuse
really, 50-100 gold a battle, whats the big deal >.> |
| wait ppl, maybe he isn't all that wrong. why do players leave this game anyway if not beacuse of the ap rule? |
| i dont say that i like, i just play the game by the rules and if i wear full arts i dont spend only 50-100 gold but 300-400, anyway the point is not to complain but to find some to help my in hunts because w that lack of players i feel so lonely !! |
| lvl 10: 121 so difficult to find hunt assist. |
wait ppl, maybe he isn't all that wrong. why do players leave this game anyway if not beacuse of the ap rule?
Perhaps because the frequent AFK scenario, or perhaps the repetition, or just maybe they prefer another game? I doubt its anything to do with the AP rule. |
lvl 10: 121 so difficult to find hunt assist.
begin to pay for hunt help, make some helpful and active friends, join a hunting clan. Most level 10+ play alot a day so it shouldn't be a problem for these who have friends and hunter partners |
I think if you are going to look for facts to analyze whether people are leaving the game at lvl 5 because the AP rule, you should look at how many lvl 5's are registered and how many lvl 6 are registered. There should be fewer lvl 6's but if its that much of a drop, then perhaps you have merit.
A better way but more time consuming to see would be to see who lvl 5+ left the game around the end of december (when they implemented the rule) and haven't come back and the ones that left soon after they reached lvl 5. |
LVL4-8812
LVL5-8153
LVL6-2838
LVL7-1292
There is some kind of drop. |
if you're getting the stats from that guildofheroes site, then:
lvl 8 - 635
lvl 9 - 332
So basically there might have been a few players lost because of the rule, most likely those that lvld up too quickly pvping instead of hunting and those that did not enroll or rarely enrolled.
Perhaps a better suggestion is to make people aware of what they need to do to put them in a good position when they reach lvl 5 and have to start using artifacts. Perhaps put an extra emphasis on enrolling in the beginning tutorial. Tell people to hunt more than pvp. |
If you take a closer look, you will notice that the quotient of level 5 and level 6 players is close to the quotient of experiences for these levels (roughly 2.8).
The same holds for following levels as well, so I think the effect of the AP-rule is at most negligible. |
I am with you cocoon!I think that this ap rule is a BIG mistake.
To admins: I am aware when i have to put on arts for battle ! |
