this is sad
This isn't sad, this is interesting. I guess it's an unexpected side-effect of the update on faction skill points. Prior to the update, hunters were almost always getting 0.5 FSP per hunt, win or lose; now, you can gain 0.5 FSP when winning, and almost nothing if you lose. Winning became more important than playing. (I take hunt as an example, the update affected FSP gain in all battle types.)
This explains why people switch to Dark Elf. Since DE faction level is not really important (compared to other factions), High-Level players can turn DE and still win their battles. Because only victory brings FSP, remember?
So, if you are a high-level, fed up Necromancer, what can you do? Either turn DE and raise your faction skill there through victories, or turn another faction, like Demon, and lose your 1000 next battles.
It's HIGHLY unlikely that we see any level 12 player turning to any new faction except DE.
That's my explanation. |
| If fsp is important, why don't they change to barbar instead, their fsp isn't important |
| but they could atleast try diff things and show some respect to everyone elses factions lol |
If fsp is important, why don't they change to barbar instead, their fsp isn't important
Good point. They could switch to Barbarian too. In my humble opinion, Barbs aren't as well suited for hunts and mercenary quests making most of their high-level battles. Shrews are really magic when it comes to hunt. |
| and there is still more elves than DE lol |
| 8 That's not true. I get 0.5 FSP for a hunt win or loss even at lvl 11 and think this is possible with most factions and more likely for higher levels. |
Well, I am lvl 8 and DE atm, and i am going to change to elf as soon as i have the money, because DE is really good, but it will get booring -.-
And i can't stop thinking... Will antos stay Knight forever or will he become DE too ? |

I watched some of your recent defeats in hunt, like this one...

...And saw that in case of defeat you're more around 0.2 to 0.4 FSP.
It's okay to disagree with me. But what explanation do you have then?
If at least all those high-level dark elves were telling their reason... ^_^ |
he become DE too
No! Don't even think about it! -.- Then we'll have like 20 DE for 25 top players o_O |
|
if i remember well.. when i played DE, for a very short period, i flew through levels 8 and 9.. i don't even remember them. all of a sudden i got 2500-4500xp per hunt instead of usual 300-600xp i got when i played demon. i killed very strong caravans and got a lot xp there as well.
one of many reasons why so many top players are DE is because they probably want to progress fast. DE allows it.. upgraded lizards & shrews are really amazing combination.
also, the best damage resistance against any faction you could get, is the one against DE, 'cause so many players are DE.
and it's easy to switch to DE.. much easier than it is to switch to necro :)
i think that's why we have pandemic DE flue in this game.. |

more examples ^^ and besides I'm only lv11, doing this becomes easier as combat and guild levels increase. |
My explanation is that people who are drawn to play enough this game to even be a high level prefer DE as it suits their personality and style of play. it also appeals to their fantasies of living in a dungeon ^^
Mostly though it suggests and imbalance in the way the game was changed (read AP rule, hunt loss fsp nerfing etc) rendering other factions more difficult to progress than DE. I agree with your argument about saying changing to DE not too bad when you have low faction skill, but there seems to be a large combination of factors. |
