+1, very nice suggestion and indeed kinda makes you choose between it and other beneficial pets (like yosh r fairy or variants of those). Not sure bout the 1/5k from superior rate though, I mean best case scenario that translates to 1/25k for revs, so like 10ish k kills with high risk orb as a rough approx? This would make the pet hella rare and super expensive, meaning that it'll essentially be a gambler pet as regular players will be unlikely to obtain it and if they do it means they have like a cold 10t to spare. I mean its a matter of personal preference obvs, either have this pet super rare and over time have it as a rich get richer kinda pet or make it more common but add like an autoskull feature or so to add a fun little risk/reward tradeoff to it?

Damn, solid guide, a ton of ppl ask about raid gear and updates daily so it's nice to be able to just give them ::topic 20872 from now on Maybe two points of improvement in my personal opinion: For welfare maybe add some sub titles to show the two are different tiers (aka costs) Make 2 tiers in your "wealthy" setup the current one, especially considering blood scythe and elder blood ring is at the upper end of wealthy And I think a lot of people just use reg scythe (for ring I used a ton throughout my raids but I recon a good 10b ish ring can be found) That being said, lemme nitpick on pet selection In tier 1 welfare I think you hava karam 3 gloves? was wondering if like karam 2 + tek would not be similar in price but overall better dps? (I honestly don't know just a thought) Welfare tier 2: maybe add a spear? (not that expensive and idk is t bow better for tek than a cheap melee wep?) Wealthy setup: personally I'dd rather use like 1t on raid pets for 25% dmg and a reg scythe than wait till I can spend idk 5t r so on blood scythe +ebr Just some minor things that came to mind, but a lot will probs be invalid cause they are just my opinions But solid guide, thanks for putting in the effort man!

This type of useless, offensive and racist comment should have no place in spk and current and/or future staff should put in effort to reduce this kind of toxicity. @dipesh the original as for your staff app, content looks good and informative (Somehow the bold white text makes it harder to read for me, but could just by my screen settings 😛 ) For now I'll hold off on my recommendation until I have some time to see how you are in game, helping the new and old alike and hopefully havin some fun chats with you as you seem like a cool person Racc2 out

+1 I've known Anthem since, euhm, lets just say a long time He's always been very helpful to anyone that had questions or needed advice, never flames or flame baited, doesn't gamble (which I find a plus as it tempts to signal stability) and extensive knowledge of most if not all aspects of the game. (I can concur that Anthem was a frequent pk'er in the past, lately he's been enjoying other parts of the game more but this does not take away the fact that he does also posses pk'ing related insights and knowledge to help ppl.) Anthem has always shown a great maturity and tact in dealing with situations, arguments, etc... Always handles things very respectfully, tries to listen to all parties involved and is not above admitting he's judgement might have been wrong or incomplete and learning from these type of mistakes. As for you app, love how you added your achievements, really shows your goal oriented nature and the personal touches that make people have a feel for what kind of person you are without necessarily having met or spoken to you before, kudos. While I'm not a big fan of the usual and excessive spamming "my pm's are open for questions related to the game etc", occasionally letting people know you are available can indeed further increase the number of people you can help. I think this is especially the case for time(zones) where usually little to no mods are on and people feel a bit left to their own. General conclusion: I highly recommend @Anthem for this staff position, he's knowledgeable, humble, helpful and respectful. He's already shown many of these qualities in helping and managing a large cc like survive and on top of this he is in a timezone where often there is a shortage of active mods (based on recent yell discussions).

Also big +1 for taking the time to format the suggestions, it helps ton's with reading it and finding relevant parts when looking through it again

Good post, solid idea's, also good suggestions as for the practical details. Not having to wait 15min will help a lot as will a '1min till it starts' announcement. I feel another reason many people don't enjoy LMS as much as for example tourneys is they just end up planking against the same 'good nh/bridders' and just end up doing something else as opposed to learning it through LMS games and enjoying them not as a competition to prove your 'the best nher' but just cause it's fun content. To this regards adding more gamemode's like DH and several others have been suggested over and over again on ::discord suggestions so don't want to get into that discussion again but still wanted to mention in Improvements in the point system would also be nice to have some more distribution of the points motivating ppl to join even if they know they won't make the top 3. As for the improvement of the items, there are several solid idea's in there but for all intends and purposes, please don't add even more OP sets that make it harder for new ppl on the server to enjoy wild. So indeed first revise the current autokeep weps as they have the potential to hit a shitton with 0 risk, revise the smite weps so people don't get k0 smited lol and I'dd love to see a more diverse effort for new items added to the game as opposed to just introducing ever stronger weapons and armor. Idk, play around with the skill level required to pull off a certain combo, make these items have weak spots for their strenght (idk, improved range attack str but severely bad defence r some shit) and Im gonna get flamed for this but maybe also add auto-redskull to the most OP pk weps? Anyways, some of my frustrations might have seeped into the feedback but hope there is still some useful stuff in there and fr your suggestion on it's own is already very strong imo. +1

Lots of interesting idea's and arguments, I love it Also very nice to see that in general people seem to agree on the idea of a gamble tax somewhere in the 1-5% range but most of the discussion is on the tp tax and even alternative sinks. So just wanted to point out it's already quite nice to see a common opinion on the gamble tax solution As for the tp tax and alternative cash sinks, I already mentioned my opinion on the tp tax and how it's likely that big items will be traded hence bypassing that system so I won't go into this to much anymore. Though to be clear, I respect other people's opinions and we won't know what the response would be unless we see an actual implementation of it of course As for alternative cash sinks, some excellent idea's (imo) have already been suggested like: [I paraphrase/generalize some ideas, please correct me if you do not agree this is in the spirit you said, as I don't want to misquote obvs] Well of Good Will - Kellatha: I 100% agree, this is the only real pure (cash) sink in game, it takes cash/items out of the game, it rewards everyone and the contributor gets a cosmetic item and as such no autokeep-easy rb type of item for gamblers. Any similar systems or improvement to the existing WoGW will have my full support +1. I'm not against adding cash bags to enchant chest, but I do think that chest is not the right way to sink in general as imo this just appeals to gambler to get all autokeeps before they get cleaned and even when cleaned still have essentially 5+t of gear to pk with and stuff (ye ye repaircost but that's only if u die ). If anything I'dd personally love to see a lot of autokeeps become tradable (similar to ferro-gloves), this would allow non-gamblers to also see value in trying a second or third attempt just to see if they can turn a profit on them buying some things in pure cash - Loviathan: could have a positive impact if done right, have to be careful though cause it will hard-link the value of those items to cash Changing things based on changes in economy - BSouth: while you only mention changing the tax-rates, which is a solid and important suggestion imo, I would love to see this extended to inflation adjustments to most pure-cash rewards. f.e. the value of mythic kits has devaluated by approx a factor 3 since they are linked to pure cash, same could be said from monsters that drop cash, pk loots in cash etc. (This ofcourse nuanced by the large influx of cash through some of these channels causing inflation but that's a separate issue imo) Alternative currencies - vygandas: this is a sensitive system that if done correctly could help stabilize things though if done wrong could ruin certain activities so a well balanced and thought out eco plan would be adviced imo, if so then +1 Though perhaps a nuance: "Items started rising when raids got buff alot cash comes from", while yes, raids buff was a contributing factor, adding bag drops, chests that gave a fair bit of cash, orbs, etc were also among the (major) contributors Maybe one idea, I'm not going to claim it's mine but that I collected from talking to several people: Replace some of the cash drops, rewards, sell-able items with ways to obtain non-trade-able items. I am not talking a chest where you can just buy items, dump them into it and get your autokeep OP item as I think Kellatha already illustrated the nuance of calling this a sink anyway. I'm talking swapping some trade-able/sellable rewards that by nature of being sellable anyone can obtain with rewards that actually reflect accomplishments, that actually require you to grind, to go on KS, to put time into it. I think this way you can justify these items to have some nice effects/bonusses as: they would be harder to obtain they cannot be traded/sold so no much danger for eco with ppl quiting and new ppl starting these types of items will not really be flooded you can even just make them destroy on death for pk beneficial items to reduce the autokeep OP pk'ing complaints a little There are tons of way of implementing this for all different activities, for example but not limited to: things like pk'ing ring with vig(i) effect which you have a small chance of getting after a kill but is destroyed upon death from raids you could get raid-shards which you can use for a variety of things from armor/wep upgrades to raid pet upgrades, to idk new raid pets, unlocking certain features? monsters could drop some neat items and get their drop table reduced a little, idk think of vetion sword with some nice spec, kbd wings that give dmg against dragons (and copy dr from inf cape), brutal gloves, Just some examples but I hope you see what I mean, essentially items that can only be obtained by putting some time into it, that are still valuable/give the owner a clear advantage and will allow you to balance eco a little while maintaining the rewardingness of the game. (Since a lot of cash stays in game as ppl quit after being cleaned, this could also give a way of more items/rewards leaving the game and keeping their amounts balanced.) Racc2 out

Hmm, this is the hardest topic I had to respond to in a while. 🤔 To start off, I think the underlying idea/intention is something most of us can agree to if we put our personal gains aside for a moment. Inflation and eco instability has become a serious problem in spk and has players of all activities and financial classes annoyed and should be addressed. I'm going to provide my idea's on both causes separately, and this will link in with your suggestions at several points. (In my opinion it's best for this discussion to really resolve around the root issue's and not one specific proposal to fix it). This in the hope this topic actually leads to some form of solution, though this is a very sensitive topic as it's linked to both players wealth as well as donations. eco instability: This has plagued spk since the day I joined and in my opinion is caused by the exponentially unequal spread of wealth and the use of items sheerly for their value not their intended use (especially super rares like fort, viri, etc). For a stable eco you need atleast a small but still decently sized number of players that posses a lot of wealth in amounts roughly similar to one another, this causes a system where, if they act independently their actions will self stabilize as if one is selling or buying items, flowing cash, etc, the others will respond and things will usually average out in the large scale. On spk this is a clear problem, mainly due to gamble combined with general greed and gamble in some cases completely dis-insensitivesing people from playing the game and the autokeep industry which is a valid cash sink for gamblers but makes it so they can ez rebuild and as such never really get cleaned. Okay that might have been more my personal issues with gamble, as for the impact on eco stability, usually you have 1 or 2 eco's that have 8x more than the next richest group, who control up to 80+% of rares and probably 70+% of all wealth is controlled by this dis-proportionally small group of ppl. To make matters worse, they often have no real idea of the value small items have and the value of large items is just whatever they please as they are the only supplier. If they start to get cleaned they often dump items in super cheap, once a new eco rises prices usually intially go through the roof as he/she becomes aware of their new gained powers. Essentially this is also why in most real life economies there are rules to prevent one company controlling a very large portion of the market, mergers between large companies, etc. as this gives them a monopoly like we see on spk, and while your yosh doubling in price over a week is annoying, your medicine doing that tempts to be a tad worse Input on solution: As mentioned above, in real life systems are in place to prevent this so it's clearly an issue and perhaps we can learn from their solutions. (Though granted that is most of the time in the form of government regulation or similar.) I think here a gamble/stake tax would majorly help as it will just stop items from flowing from one eco to the next freely without any resistance or energy lost. As for the implementation there are many ways of doing this, and none of them easy to waterproof as far as I can tell, I do think the implementation should consider following things: It should work for both gamble/stake It should not only work for cash stakes/gambles but in some way also for items, though if it really needs to sink items is an entirely different discussion (though one worth having imo) It should be proportionate to the amount gambled/staked, just a fixed amount per gamble or similar will dis-proportionally impact small players and will motivate ppl to gamble even bigger making the problem even worse.. It should be well balanced so it's an effective sink, but not completely unreasonable (I know this is open to interpretation but I think once implemented the system can be finetuned in steps based on how well the sink works) With these in mind I'm not a big fan of your suggestion of gamblers just paying to be able to stake, yes this will cause some small gamblers to bitch a bit more but being broke never stopped them from gambling before so, and for big players and big items this will do very little, for eco kinda gambles this will mean pay 10b to gamble over 10 000t back and forth in items so this will in my opinion miss it's goal as a sink and just hinder some small time gamblers. I think a better solution could be a % of the gambled pot being taxed as this scales with the pots, is a very effective sink for big time gambles but the specifics will have to be properly thought out. The easiest yet a tad simplistic perhaps implementation would be a gamble pouch where ppl put cash into, and if they win 5% of the total gambled value is taken out of their pouch. This way the loser doesn't pay (which seems fair), winner still wins 45% of his original stake, which also seems decent, I mean 95b from 50b is pretty nice. Downside is this only sinks cash not items and you'dd have to have a item price list somewhere for item value calculation. Though such a pricelist that is monthly or so updated is not a bad thing to have in general and could be automated by averaging or extrapolating from tp sales. You could think of easier to implement things like a random item from the gamble being deleted with a 2% chance or so (and a mechanism to avoid dumping rocktails xD). But I think if everyone puts some idea's here we can come to something that works for almost everyone and more importantly accomplishes the goal ___Inflation:___ So essentially the devaluation of cash causing all items to rise in price. This also partly originates from gamble/stake scene with ppl having large cash stacks and then dropping it in eco by buying out some super rares or things like that. In addition we've seen the addition of cash drops left and right on spk, especially with caskets added do dailies which also contributes to the inflation imo, more cash is flowing into the game than ever. Small note, gamblers buying out super rares like viri fairy, as well as still obtainable rares like inf stone, skot, inf pendant etc also causes high end items to over-inflate belong just cash inflation. (Making it harder and harder for non gamble/stakers to actually get end game items to use as opposed to just store in bank) Input on solution: Here a gamble tax in some for can do wonders imo. As for the idea of a tp tax, I'm afraid this will not hit the right group and will be ineffective, as small trades will still go through tp and new ppl will still buy from tp so it will hurt them the most but big game hunters and high end items will just get a convention: list it in tp for 100b more than u want for it, and ppl can pm u if they have cash and then you can just trade. I think it's important for a tax or sink to aim where the problem is, and not do to much collateral damage especially not to new players. I will personally always want to see a big difference between wealth gained by hard work and wealth gained by going to gamble for 30minutes and getting lucky from a 5b starting point. So if inflation is to be tackled I propose to do it proactively by revising drop tables and ways items flow into the game, as well as providing targeted item sinks that appeal to the right category while not giving them disproportionately big advantages. So that's my 2 pennies, I hope this topic causes some change, even if it's not the changes I suggested above, I merely hope to inspire a constructive discussion Racc2 out

Just an idea but what if, in the suggestion topic, we just focused on constructive feedback on the idea. Additionally you are of course free to comment whether this addition/update is something you look forward too, or if you have reservations about it's impact. But I think this endless cycle of discussing priorities, comparing against other content, just dishing any content you don't actively enjoy get's us nowhere, just makes a suggestion topic a pain to read and just makes the discussion go completely off topic very fast. As such i think an update topic should be a place to refine an idea, polish it up using the feedback and experience of our community and not a place to vent frustrations about the game, which I think does need a place, and are valid concerns which need to be payed attention too, but is not something that should be in this or other suggestions. To make sure I'm not misunderstood, in my personal opinion following are examples of constructive feedback: I like the idea and would love to see it implemented There are some good idea's in there, have you considered X or I'dd love to see Y worked out in some more detail In it's current form I don't think it detailed enough for me to support it, could you elaborate on X? As someone who often partakes in similar content I can say that in my experience this will not work due to reason Z Examples of non constructive comments could be: Hell no please focus on other content, already to much attention goes to XX... [just because you don't enjoy a piece of content doesn't mean it has no place in spk] why should this be prioritized? [this and all others are just suggestions, priorities are determined by the staff and dev team, imo this section should just provide idea's polished by community input, dev team can then look over them and look for content that fit's in their priority list] any pvp vs pvm vs donor discussions unless the suggestion is explicitly about balancing those [We all enjoy different aspects of the game and some have more extreme opinions on what it should be than others, but that should not invalidate a good suggestion regardless of what content it belongs too.] [Any unsubstantiated negativity, if you prefer different content, no problem, try noting some of you idea's and make a suggestion about that, but commenting on potential content you don't use/enjoy just cause you want focus on your preferred content if not useful feedback for a specific suggestion and imo should go elsewhere] I could elaborate and if needed I will but I already know hm backlash i will get so ;D To be clear: this is just my opinion and a general suggestion on how I believe suggestion topics could be more productive (which I think is going to be needed if we ever want to come to good community suggestions/input) Love it, hate it, fuck it Racc2 out

Amazing update, this will for sure enhance the QOL by a lot for many players Also that look-ahead is juicy asf, can't wait Gl with the implantation of all that good stuff

I watch your vids on the side when raiding, this comment is not good for your views

Oh and forgot one fairly important comment: Good idea, solid content, but from a practical point of view, especially in spk, this could be so tricky with any amount of lag, either it should hit like 40-50 at most so it never 1hit k0's or you'dd have to see it coming a fair time in advance. I cannot tell you how many times I have been k0's at vork cause of the combo lag+his fireball, Please o please do not let me feel that frustration in raids

Big +1 Solid suggestion, would majorly improve gameplay, love the idea of the new pets Might think of some potential pet effects and post em here but I also invite the rest of the community to bring their inspired idea's to the table Also love how nice and in detail this suggestion is, really well thought out and many aspects such as impact to eco already considered I do have 2 remarks and a quick question: (a) "When a pet becomes dusted it will receive a 10% damage increase in their respective rooms." This will add to the already existing dmg boost correct? (I know it seems obvious cause otherwise it would be a nerf to a tek pet but just wanted make sure 😛 ) (b) I personally love the idea of this flex-item, though it might be nice if it actually gave like a small bonus just in raids or something, idk a +1 increase in max hit cap during raid or something, just the first thing that pops in my head so probs better suggestions around but you get the idea (c) While I do think due to the hard-versions should be more rewarding than their regular counterparts, I strongly advice any alterations to current raid rewards be properly tested and calculated as the last 3 or 4 updates to raids have seen major reactions in community (though two of the 4 were good reactions but regardless). I personally would suggest adjusting them only a little if at all (given they been in eco for months now so have stabilized in this eco) but can't say I would be a fan of a 50% drop in dropchance as I feel this is too drastic of a change. Also +1 re-balancing solo vs multi raids, solo's are completely not worth these days. Racc2 out, Mic drop

Normally I prefer to give my detailed feedback on suggestions but like, this is already perfect, well thought out, balanced, +1 for immediate implementation
