I liked it the way it was before, but i can understand peoples complaints.

- They need to reduce the change job penalty from 7 days to 1 or 2 days. Maybe even hours are better.

There should be some advantage of being, eg. a lvl 6 thief over a lvl 1 thief.
-Every Thieflevel you gain 4% extra speed when a thiefsuit is equiped, so you can run away from hunters.
-Hunters could have 1% mag/phy atk increase, so they can kill thiefs and protect the trade.
-Traders could use some extra HP or defence, so they can survive longer in an attack.
Those were some passive increases.

Here are some active skills.
-Theif should get a 2 sec stealth, which increases every thieflvl, so at maximum (lvl7) you'd have a 14 sec stealth where you cannot attack, only run. To be used to flee from hunters that pursue you. Cooldown: 5 min
-Hunter should get a 20% stun that lasts 1 sec. A lvl 7 hunter gets 7 sec of stun with a 20% stun probability.
Cooldown: 5 min
-Trader could get a defence increase buff like snakestorm/castle that would last for 15 sec and protect them from 10% damage. (ThiefNPC hits for 1000, dmg recieved for lvl 2 trader is 800) It should increase with 10% every level, so that the max is 70% damage reduction for 15 sec.
Cooldown: 3 min

The gold reward should increase really really much.
Maybe there should be some kind of reward in the job system that makes you recive some more rare potion, like a stack of Vigors, when you do something courageous.
(Go on a 5 star trade for traders, kill x number of hunters/thief players during x sec/min)

-The trade level should also allow more goods to be transported for each tradelvl increase.
-The thief level should allow faster transportations and/or Bandit Scrolls that require shorter time for each thieflvl increase.
-The hunter level should allow an kind of new item, lets say a doll with HP depending on the level of the hunter that attracts aggro or something like that.

There should be more rewards for jobbing.
Seal of Honor - type of things should be an ultimate reward in the jobbing system, just like it is in academy.

I_R_Powerpff's post includes the most excellent ideas here, at least silkroad is based on the battle between thieves and hunters, this part needs the most progress.

Additionaly (by Ash & Vandango)

- New vehicles/transports
- stack elixiers
- more specific item filter (it has already exsist on kSRO)
- More events
- Few avatar suits for gold, or at least GDF and Santa Set for the new servers
- World-wide teleport (I miss it really)

Balance changes are totally unnecessary. There were a few dominant builds on every cap, remember Lv.70 (blader), Lv. 80 w/o skills (glaiver) and so on.

bum28 wrote:shoot i hadnt seen that but what he said seems like a good idea.

Also, i think that there should be like a matching system for trade pts and thief pts so that one pt of thieves is assigned to only 1 pt of traders/hunters. Also, once the pts are matched the thieves should be randomly placed on the map and the traders/hunters should be placed together, but still randomly.
( I do realize that there are many flaws with this idea but its a start)

Keep the ideas coming!!!!!!

Much like the Academy honor point system, people 0 gap clientless characters to 40 and then discard them like yesterdays news. Good example is this bower in Odin named peterhong. Has over 100+ graduates and always, always has full honor buffs every week.

bum28 wrote:I dunno about you guys but i think that both the pvp system and the jobbing system need to be fixed / changed. I think that there is a lot of room for improvement here so what are some of your ideas???
Here's mine:
PvP......
Matching System - so i was thinking that players should get matched to each other by tier, and they should get equal buffs from the same buffer. Maybe they could create a point system based on level, build, etc eventually boiling down to "Best match gets most points and worst match up get least"
Rewards - there should definitely be rewards such as experience scrolls (+5% exp) and sp scrolls (+ amt of sp depending on level), silk, gold, (automatic +4??) scrolls (u wouldnt be able to just +8 a weapon with 2 scrolls), maybe even something like honor buffs??

So what are your ideas????

As far as jobbing goes all i know is that it needs to be changed, but i dont have any better ideas. Also i liked the old jobbing better, but i dont think it should be changed back to that system.

Oh and anyone on troy server...my lvl4 guild desperately needs any lvl recruits (that know english well) pm bum28 Hells__Angel
