Hard Difficulty

The game is too easy (expect LI and Qira). Is there a possibility to make mobs for one player stronger than for other? or is it impossible in current conditions?
Creating Hard character would change the game for this one class/character.
For example mobs health *1,25 and mobs dmg*1,4. Loot would also higher for hard players and XP gain would be lower than usual. Soul point system would lose 3 soul points instead of 2.
And the best - your every item would drop if you die at 3 soul points :o
That's all

 

It would be interesting, though I don't think it's possible, if it is at least not for a long time :/

 

the game would still be easy lol, adding real hard content would be better

 

Except that people would soon find a way to easily solo it, look at Qira, Cybel and LI.

 

All items dropping at 3 sp is literally easier than old wynn sp system XD

 

MMORPGs are pretty known for having a set, In-changeable difficulty.
It simply doesn't work as a mechanic.
MMORPGs are also very well known for having a lot of competition, Because of that, If players were given the option to choose a difficulty I can almost guarantee everyone will choose the easiest.
Even if it was possible, It would be a pretty bad idea.

The only thing similar to this I can think of would be certain dungeons having multiple difficulty levels, The higher the difficulty the greater the reward, But we sort of already have that when you compare corrupted and non-corrupted dungeons.

 

I think this could work maybe if it was a totally different server? Wynn has done this before, just not with a hard mode such as: hero beta mode and *cough cough* wizard fortress. (I forget the name please don't kill me or something idk)

 

none of these are hard or require teamwork, lol, a decent player can solo any of these

 

Insert Qira 13 second speedrun

 

Perhaps if the passive defense was reduced for the players? It wouldn't be possible to change the mob damage for one player, but it would probably be easy to debuff the players themselves when they use hard mode. They already have the base defense, attack, etc. for each class. Couldn't they just reduce those stats?

 

tfw hard content

Just use all normal items; I think that'll bee difficult enough

 

This is the best possible way to make the game harder :o
A different server for "hardcore" players would be just fine.

Yeah most players would choose the easiest ones as you bet, yet still I can almost guarantee that most of people with 101 etd. would also have characters with hard mode.
Also hard mode could be and option just for a challenge or even another server?

The point is to make game much harder but without making it bad :v

 

Add a poll

It would probably work better to have lower player damage and resistance than making mobs behave differently depending on the player, which sounds really complicated. Different classes already have different base resistances, so hard mode variants of each could be made with lower ones. I'm not a fan of the lower XP gain though. That's not going too make it much harder, just way more grindy. Also, the soul point system change is a bit minimal - you can easily avoid being affected by it. Perhaps do away with soul points altogether and just lose everything on death automatically?

Some other ideas for hard mode changes:
-Disable horses and teleport scrolls. You walk everywhere.
-Skill points cannot be reset. You're going to need to carefully plan ahead.
-Potion bonuses decreased.
-Slower default health and mana regen.

 

Horse part is a bit meany tho
Imo horses should have much less chance to get a better one and scrolls would cost 8 soul points instead of 1. Also Dying would be 10 soul point after the point where you get 11th soul point. How about that?
The mana and health regen is a spicy idea which would make everything harder :>

 

It does not make the game harder, it just makes the player inconvenient (basically reducing the will for players to play)

Literally making the game unplayable because you cannot guarantee your skill points can fulfill all the armors (or even getting a piece of armor that you want)

These ideas may work but the impact varies with players' build, how much the bonuses are decreased and so on.

 

maybe if the mobs were designed to be challenging and fair instead of just being annoying
