Agreed on most.  I like leveling be a challenge, but at the moment, it's not even a challenge, it's just killing the same easy mob over and over for 10hours... Time consuming, boring, but not hard.
 
I'd rather have something hard to do that compensate with good xp.  For example, New KQ's   ( or old kq's where you'd raise the xp and the strenght of the mobs) 
 
I don't know why you nerfed noit badges stats they were fine before imo.
 
All raids : Most are very boring. Too easy and not requiring any tactic . just  someone tanking, 1-2 cleric and a bunch of ppl hitting.
 
ML HC and focalor are fine    (saw you nerfed focalor a bit. didn't test it)  ML HC actually require people to work together and know what they are doing.  What makes a boss hard isn't the amount of hp he has, it's  how fast he can wipe your entire party..   I'd rather have more raids where you can't just run in and kill everything easily.
 
Never seen an archer auto-attacking od'ing me,  but I'm all for ml mdef reduction.
 
Also waiting for mage mdmg to be buffed.

Hey Core players & staff!
 
I've recently thought of some ideas about gameplay revolving around the newest level expansion, and would really appreciate if others also commented on these ideas in order to better the experience of every player of Core.
 
Before I get on with the list, wanted to give a brief explanation of how I came to these suggestions.
 
Core was the first Fiesta private server I ever played (although I started right around the cap raise) and found it very enjoyable compared to retail, until I reached level 105 where things really started to slow down. Secret Lab is a great way to both farm gear and gain exp at this level, but with many of the other active players reaching levels 111 or higher, it became increasingly difficult to find a lab party. So my other options were solo grinding (grinding in a party would be extremely painful considering how long solo grind takes 105+) which wasn't appealing for me, since one of the main reasons I left retail was the constant grinding which I didn't really feel should take that much time. The 2nd option was to raid, with the only raid being done was ML and sometimes ML HC since the other raids were either not doable or just not worth the resources to do. So after getting 105, I slowly reached 107 while mainly just sitting around waiting for raids, which becomes pretty boring. So I decided to explore other servers (sorry) and ultimately ended up back here because I still feel it's the best, but could use some modifications. So, I wanted to bring some suggestions after seeing what other servers had to offer.
 
- In general, leveling should not be as slow and tedious as it is after 105, but mainly after 110. I'd personally like to see slight exp reductions for 105+ and slightly more reduced for 110+. Currently leveling mainly consists of killing the same mob or pulling/kiting a room continuously for decent amount of times, which just becomes very tedious and boring grinding (1 of my main complaints about retail).
 
- I'd like to see an instance (BA I'm assuming) where leveling becomes a group effort and something less boring then continuously killing the same things, and more of a challenge as well. This will also make the experience more than a tedious grind, but also farming gears as well which makes it more bearable. (I feel this will also help with the problem of clerics 105+, as currently I am refusing to lvl one beyond 105 since it would require at least a duo which would take a large amount of time.
 
- I'd like to see more doable/worthwhile raids (There's a rumor of Chimera coming soon, which I fully support, but I'd put priority on an instance for grinding that requires a group (fixing current raids) just to give us something to do that isn't leveling. I can't comment much on raids other then ML since that's all I've participated in, but I'll include what others have said.
 
Focalar: I hear his AOE not only 1 hits most people, but also most computers. Doesn't sound too fun currently, but the idea of an aura boss does sound very entertaining.
 
Noit: With the recent nerf to his badges, everyone has told me he's not not worthwhile to do because of his difficulty.
 
On a side note, I'd like to suggest reversing this nerf so that the max stat is what it was previously. I understand it was found to be imbalanced, but (similar to retail and the pre-nerf 45s) this now gives an advantage to players who got badges before the nerf, and creates an imbalance among the players of the server. If everyone is able to get a badge with that high of stats, they balance each other out.
 
Malephar: One thing I really enjoy about core is the challenge it presents compared to other servers, but I feel like the time it takes to complete a boss shouldn't be the main challenge. I feel the bosses strengths should be focused around his skills and overall dmg (which is pretty high atm) and less around the amount of hp he has. Raiding ML should require strategy and skill, but it shouldn't require as much as a time investment as it does (This is also due to the lower population, so less people dpsing). Also, mages feel very irrelevant here with
Malephars high m.def, an archer just afk auto attacking does more dps then a mage actively dropping AOEs and using single target skills, which I feel shouldn't be the case, so I suggest a nerf in malephars m.def.
 
Malephar Hardcore: I feel the suggestions from above apply, although I personally have never attended a hardcore raid on my mage so I'm not sure if his m.def is overly strong or not. I feel the birds should get a reduction in magic damage, currently it essentially requires having 3 tanks and 3 clerics to do a hardcore run, and I don't think birds should be as much as a challenge as ml itself is. Also, with how much coordination this raid requires, I feel the weapon drop rate from ML HC should be 100%, since the difficulty of this raid deserves reward upon completing it. Also I'm not sure what the ML Jewel drop rate is, but it seems to be incredibly low and I suggest it get raised slightly.
 
I feel if we fix the raids that are currently available and make leveling not as grueling as it is, it will keep the players satisfied and busy while new content is worked on to be added in (such as new raids, instances, and cosmetics). And, with our fixed raids, we will be able to properly gear up for what comes next, which I hope provides us with a challenge as well! Please leave your ideas surrounding 105+ content!

Serious: That's awesome. I would like to see how this turns out.

I wanted to eliminate unnecessary, unused maps and make a small cozy and compact map where everyone can be together.
 
At the moment, there are about 4 maps that can be condensed into 1. These maps are all unnecessarily large and only contain about several different types of mobs. In addition to this, leveling from 1 to 20 is fast so you wiz by those maps in an hour and never go back to them.
 
If I make 1 map for level 1 to 20 and compact everything then not only will new players see each other more often and not only will they see higher level players while leveling but they can meet other players who are also leveling and party up with them. 
 
Removing these maps and mobs will also save resources on the server, possibly reducing lag.
 
Not only that but all of the players will be able to experience a new map, completely re-done with new textures and some new mobs and models. The map will be the new Forest of Tides.
 
I think this will be good and a benefit for everyone.
 
Here is a rough sketch / plan of the map.
 

 
The green area where it says Roumen will contain all of the NPC's from Roumen.
 
I would like your feedback and opinions on this change. This will not interfere with the higher level updates, those will still go on as scheduled.

What's New on Core?
 
Hi everyone! It's been a while since you last saw me and you deserve an explanation. I've been going through some unfortunate personal troubles which left me no time for leisure and so I could not be involved with Core over the summer. It hurts me to see that the player base has dwindled but I am confident that this extraordinary community can be rekindled and I will do all I can to use your feedback to build a server that you, the players, will be eager to return to!
 
Firstly, I'd like to clarify Head Admin FarbodD's message on game updates as it seems to have been misconstrued by some. While it is true that updates have become infrequent, this does not mean that they are completely halted. We work on Core projects whenever our personal lives allow it, and the fact that part of our administrative team has lost motivation and contributes on a more casual basis has strained our ability to produce content.
 
We are working on a big, long-term project that will distinguish us from other Fiesta servers. Because of this, we have established a more realistic approach: updates will be smaller and potentially more frequent. We ask that the community is mindful of this approach when providing feedback on the forums. 
 
Now onto the juicy stuff...

Going solo on glad you basically have to no-life 110-115. There are barely any active wiz / wls and the ones available already got lvling buddies. Only like 2 people or 2 pts can lvl at a time cuz there are only 2 lvling spots basically (Fogs / Lichs). The requirement exp is ridiculous for soloing, especially without 100% exp cards. Speaking of which, we could use some in mall pls. kthx~

Master rewards now reward vaults which contain coins. Corrected several item placements in various shops. Fixed Force Slash SP consumption. Fixed Advanced Wind Set item effect description and several other descriptions. Changed Life Tap skill to heal you for HP and consume SP. Increased Life Tap cool down to 2 minutes 30 seconds. Fixed Nature's Agility levels 8 and 9. They now give 80 and 100 evasion respectively. Dungeon of Dread should let you lose all of your experience now. Corrected Dispel Field description. Slip away now gives 100% critical rate buff which works but only lasts for 3 seconds. Neutralization skill now stuns your target for 1 second while also neutralizing them for 6 seconds. Piercing Shot now deals disease damage instead of poison. Piercing Shot disease now only lasts for 10 seconds and deals damage every second. Piercing Shot disease special effect has been removed. Fixed Piercing Shot description. Added Wings of Flight mount. Fixed Summon Fairy bug. Wings of Flight:
 
 

MY entry. Took me quite a while even tho it probably maybe might not be as good as the others. Took me a while since I had to look up a dozen tutorials on how to use a bit advanced Photoshop to actually create it. 
 Hope you enjoy it and pick me as the winner!

Tower drop rate is way too low.  I ran it 19 times and while I did get an ok amount of Blue weapons, I only got 2 blue pieces. 1 from iron and another from poison golem. 
 
I would really like to invite my perm friends but they're not gonna stay if the drop rates are low and they might not come back since it's a bad first impression.

Yeh Slime is pretty fine, you look like dis mushroom doe so that's pretty close

You kill ba3?
