Comments
I believe that they increase chest spawn rate to compensate for the reduced channels. Rusted keys price will in fact decrease, by a large margin.
MS2's population dropped severely, and thus there's no point in Nexon wasting money on unnecessary server resources. It's not to "punish the players".
Well even though it's not to punish players it definitely will and with every patch they have pushed so far they seem to punish us players vs bots meso sellers and buyers >.<
Of course it is. Pet farming for one. I don't know how the spawn rate works, but right now it's bad enough having to cycle through 60 channels to find the pet spawns (esp. on pets that ONLY spawn in one place) but at least with 60 channels you have a higher chance of both finding a spawn and finding a spawn without competition. 28 channels in Ludibrium Crater or Boulderwhite Cliffs will hurt for the dailies.
LOL either you really don't know or you are trolling.
I legit listed some things being affected by this in the thread.
Bro can u read?
ahem
Treva Farming, World Boss Farming, Golden/Wooden Chest spawns, pet farming, lumiknights dailies,..
The only problem is that you are complaining about the server huge decrease. This is NOT a problem. MS2's population has decreased so much, and it will be too costly to keep those big servers open.
So this thread needs to be locked.
Treva - You might actually have to go and kill people in PvP maps. Oh dear.
World Boss - Since I don't typically play at peak times, I can't really comment on this one. With Fair Fight on all bosses, off peak hours tend to be "kill ch 1" and go do something else. I'm sure peak times go through at least 28 channels, by your implication?
Gold/Wood Chests - Never had to cycle through more than 30 channels. There's plenty of "good" maps to go through.
You know if you kill things for like, a couple minutes max, pets will spawn, right?
Doesn't matter if people are taking up all the channels.
Just because you don't agree doesn't mean the thread needs to be locked. X_X
world boss got nuked by fairfight and there's already a bunch of places with golden/wood chests
Honestly didn't know how much/if that affected it. As I said I was unsure how the spawning worked. It will still affect the types of zones I mentioned for the dailies, but won't likely impact the other zones where pets are a non-issue. Thanks for the info!
That being said, I 100% understand why it's being done, and in the end... Nexon saving money on servers will save the players some money for a while (there shouldn't be a drive to up prices or add speed to the inevitable P2W system)
I just wanted to acknowledge that yes SOME stuff will be affected by it, whether or not there is a large impact.
