Silkroad Online Forums

What's so great about level 90 anyway? PVP is boring, jobbing is all just gang banging and people screaming at eachother; hunting uniques is lame too. It seems like the only thing to do at 90 cap once your 90 and fully farmed is to quit and wait for 100 cap.

Silkroad, as I always thought, was purely about end game (since it is PVP centered). However, it seems like once your capped and fully farmed there is quite literally nothing special to do. Sure you are strong but nowadays theres so many other capped players that have equal or superior strength. - Heres where most players get hooked on becoming "the strongest"

But other than maxing out your gear what else can you really do?

This game seriously lacks a lot of aspects that make for lasting entertainment. Don't even mention fortress war. It's probably the crappiest system ever designed for "fun" in silkroad.

CTF was a good thought but it was executed horribly.

...and what will the next update bring? More of the same. ...and hundred cap?

I don't want to sound like a whiner or anything, but I'm curious. Why are there so many players dying to reach 90 cap FF? So many more than at 80 and 70 cap it seems. Why are so many people hooked on this game? Is it simpley because its "free"? If it was pay 2 play would you still suffer through all the intense grind and months of skill farming just for this lousy end-game experience?

I'll probably stick around a bit longer and hope the game improves and joymax develops new and exciting ways to make end-game more enjoyable; but as if now I think this game is seriously starting to wear down to the last of its appeal.

Everybody has their own reasons for wanting to reach cap. A lot of the reasons are based on ego. Lets face it, mostly everybody is trying to become the best in their server by any means necessary. Plus for a lot of people this game is pay to play, just look at how many people buy silk each month, it ends up costing more then WoW or any other well run mmorpg. There really is no one reason why people play silkroad, because everybody has their own reality and own perception of the game. In my opinion, if you are right that there are more people trying to reach cap now then ever before, it is most likely because you really cannot do much right now unless you're capped.

well, everybody have different view, i don't think pvp is that boring, but what addicting is the job system, i get on to thief with my friends when server is not crowd. Thief is fun as shit man, if you go with your friends, well i enjoy sro anyway even if the game is run by a bad company as people may say

I play SRO to get to the cap because then I'll be able to quit.

I play to cap & be strong, enjoy pvp, alchemy, unique hunting, friends.

Not much else of a reason imo.

Seriously, this game sucks now. It use to be fun back in 60 and 70 cap. Joymax has done such a good job of getting people to believe they need to be at cap to have fun, which is actually true. Fortress war, cape wars, guild wars, and trade runs: try doing those at a low level - not gonna be fun if you aren't capped.

Not to mention, the silk items Joymax is gonna keep releasing so that players can maintain their status on the server like devil spirit. Its a endless cycle until lvl 150.

I have that big wish to cap one character!

Cap=less active for those that are 90 FF, pvp,job,....that's pretty much it...Fortress is fun though...once fully farmed you will most likely job/pvp for 1-2 hrs then log off...or stay connected and bot depends on ur situation, it is kind of boring when there are not many players pvping..or not much trading going to....

You found out the secret...shhh don't inform joymax.

There is no end game. The game is suppose to never end which would increase joymax's profits.
It's like that in almost anything with competition. Any games or hobby are basically endless and exploitable. I remember back in 4th grade everyone including me had Pokemon cards then yugioh cards(part of the fades as a kid). Each one was about who had the best/rarest cards. Did not take much skill at all to win. Anybody with a lot of cash could go in on ebay and buy all the best cards. It just took a lot of time and money and in the end a horribly bad investment. Those cards are still being made today as kids are getting addicted to collecting them.

In Silkroad anybody with a lot of cash could buy tons of gold to get the best items. There will always be higher levels and better gear to get.

Baseball (NY Yankees)anybody could go in and buy all the best players.(although this has not worked in their favor the passed few years but did win a lot of world series. There will always be better players they can get.

Computer gaming is whoever has the most expensive hardware and the top benchmarks will have an advantage. There will always be new parts to buy so you can show off.

The game is not suppose to have an ending. To joymax, an ending would stop their income and they would all lose their jobs unless they could design another game that could get ppl addicted for another poor investment.

my reason is (as you stated) to be able to pvp at cap (no one can one hit you then).

at the lower levels, I remember putting a cape on but there would always be some retard who was 10+ lvls higher that was always one hitting me.

so what can you do? only thing to do was to get "stronger"/ get to higher levels.

but today its kind of annoying how stupid tools can pull out +7 weapons and +5 gear out of their a$$. sure there are a few legits that have earned their items but 95% of those capped players have cheated there way up. so even at cap, what can you do?

i have a +4 set and a +5 weapon which isn't enough to beat those +5 gear/+7 weap players. Sure i can afford to make the same set, but then they'll buy more gold to once again out damage you.

i have leaned away from that mentality but instead only playing the game because of the cool skills and IRL friends.

You make it sound like a chore.

I grind characters to 90, then make another. If I get bored of making them, I quit and will come back in Weeks/Months and so on.

some of us may never hit cap, we should just quit

Getting high lvl use to be hard, and since not everyone could get it so easily it was a bigger deal.

Now most ppl that play start silkroad, get capped in a couple months or so, along with most of the rest of the game, and tons of retards who amaze you at the thought of them being a real person, no wonder it gets boring, but I don't find sro boring as a game, I still think it's a pretty good game, it just sux how it's run, I wanna play sro but I don't wanna bot, or play with bots.

I for one love pvp permanently either my glavier my blader or my X bower its all fun maybe this game just isnt for u

Get to cap, become a great pvper, then theres no challenge, people quit, nothing to do, quit.

thats about it.

i might try one more server for fun...then thats it.

the aspect of sro that makes it so fun to me is the free 2 play.

i mean i can play WoW private servers for free, which is quite fun but it's not fun w/o an irl friend imho.

i only get on it when i can't connect to sro or play with my friend.




sro isn't that bad. it's what is in sro that makes it bad (bots,joymax).
it has pretty above average graphics. good gameplay.
but one aspect i hate is the major grindfest to be FF at cap. i mean a non-weapon build such as fire/light/cold needs flippin' 1m sp to farm...

pvp and jobbing are fun when you have full farmed 90 character and all the nice skills


its opinionitive

once im lvl 90 FF on my wiz/bard, i plan on to:

1. Kill all uniques once
2. Get my hunter lvl up..hopefully top 5 in server
3. PFARM AND PLVL my warlock/cleric char up to 64ish and cap that char too

By then 100cap will be out..and farming for 100cap will take too much time D:

mmorpg doesn't have endgame

people get to the end game thinking they are going to be god and no one is going to kill them but usually they still suck

that makes it hard to log in too...

on topic, i wont ever reach cap =( when i reach it, ill tell u if its fun or not...


tip: just quit for a week or 2, then ull have fun when u rejoin SRO

or.... just get an Ingame Girlfriend (wich is a guy in real life but u dont know it) and have fun with her(him).. with "fun" i mean when she die u just sit, get up, sit, get up, sit , get up (again and again) on her dead body and it will make u a lil more FREAK xD


<--- not a freak ¬¬

@ above.

You feeling alright there?

I got totally bored when I turned 90... So I just made a different character. xD

By the time you cap one character without botting, you'll be addicted to this game. you'll get one char lvl 90 at 99.99% then you'll want another one. and after that one you'll want another. it'll go on and on untill you realize how much this game sucks and that ur addicted to it.

For me it's all about the time you spent getting to cap, rather then what to do while you're there.
