So this is the new normal? Has the game basically become pay-to-win?

What’s even the point when a new server opens?

A friend of mine recently started playing because I introduced him to the game. Then he showed me a level 6 character with 90 base stats. That's absurd.

It really feels like the game has turned into a system of smurf accounts, or high-level players helping friends without any meaningful market restrictions. For example, I could list an item worth 1 gold for 100,000 gold, and my level 150 friend could simply buy it.

Now, if we're talking about a brand-new server where none of that exists yet, and you're going to tell me it's "just pay-to-win," then show me how. Let's say I buy Rubies. What exactly do I do next? Because even with Rubies, I don't see how someone converts that into enough gold to reach those kinds of stats at level 6.

Please don't give me the standard answers.

"Oh, he's just sending his character to work."
"Oh, he's just selling fish."

You know there has to be something else going on behind the scenes.

I think you’re overestimating how much gold is needed for 90 stats. It’s not that much gold, so it can easily be achieved through sales even on a new server. You don’t need rich accounts on the server for that.

Quote from Garneilus

A new region, new strategies, and maybe even a new item quality tier could really add some excitement. Personally, I’ve passed level 300, and at this stage, the game doesn't offer me any enjoyment anymore."

That’s why I don’t participate in the high-speed, pay-to-win events. You level up incredibly fast, but the downside is that the game has nothing left to offer afterward…..

Hello

Thank you for your feedback. We will pass it on to the relevant department so that it can be taken into consideration.

On another note, tombraider0 I believe you can share your opinion without being disrespectful towards others. For this reason, I have had to edit part of your post.

Best regards,

The first player in the ranking has 48,000 battles per week. He gained almost 30 levels per week. But everything is fine.

Honestly, I don't gain anything from it. His character level will stay the same. He'll get a week's ban. Maybe even less, since he's a sponsor. I'm not reporting players, I'm just asking if it's okay. And I'm just pointing out the unfairness of the different ruby prices and directly to this event, which I've addressed last time, both on the forum and through support, where they valued my opinion so much that two months later they relaunched the same event.

I'll add, imagine that you have a high level account. You have a player behind you about 15 levels lower. A head start of one year of active play. And now three events like "rise of the forgotten" come, where different prices for rubies will be shown. And suddenly you are already losing 52 levels to the player you were a year ahead of. What would be your reaction? Would you be satisfied with the game settings on the same server? And with this event in general? If I wanted to catch up in the same time, I would have to invest 5000€, which the player with cheap rubies, by the way, only gave 400€. Shouldn't it be set up the same since it is the same server? Am I wrong?

Perfectly said. It’s an absolute disgrace and, in my opinion, anything but a smart move by GF. They’re driving players out of Central Europe, where they could make good money, and shifting the game to low-wage countries instead. While these players may buy a lot of Rubies, they do so at much lower prices. In the long run, that simply doesn’t make any sense.

Yes, this event ruins the game. It should not take place more than once a year.

yes no. 6 is a dream but impossible

I like No.3 but do not like no. 2. Neutral on No. 1

Please use a translation tool. It’s obvious that you didn’t understand the topic of this thread at all. Have fun and take care.

A level 300 account has 100k armor and 2,200 damage. Even a perfectly optimized level 150 account can’t reach half of those stats. So your “advice” to optimize the armor is clearly just a pointless spam comment. Sorry.

Come on, no spam comments.

Hi all

Current issue: High-level players (Level 300+) are forced to attack low-level players because otherwise they do not have enough opponents available to complete their tasks. However, since the latest update, the armor difference has become so significant that low-level players (around levels 150–200) are being reduced to almost zero health in a single attack.

This should not happen.

Proposed solution: If the level difference between two players exceeds 20 levels, attacks should have no effect on the target’s health points.

Ja gut aber spätestens nach 5 Minuten und ein paar Expeditionen hättest du es doch selber bemerken sollen, dass das Kostüm keinen Effekt hat? Ich finde da kan man GF keinen Vorwurf machen.

Ich verstehe nicht was das Problem ist.

My fun account is in an inactive guild, so there’s basically nothing going on in Negotium right now. I also haven’t had the chance yet to test against the level 102 dungeon. The last screenshot I still have is from level 44, when I defeated the level 95 boss. Here:

Apart from that, I actually agree with you. You’re right — it’s almost a joke for me to talk about “balancing” when balance has already been broken for completely different reasons. Your suggestions are good ones.

For me, another way to bring tactical gameplay back would be increasing the crit/block cap from 50% to something like 60–70%. Right now, many accounts feel too similar. It would be much more interesting if players actually had to choose where to focus and specialize their builds.

And this should probably be combined with an increase in the number of arena rounds, similar to Turma. The current round limit is honestly a joke and makes many fights feel random rather than skill- or build-dependent.

I was checking out your character because I got curious about how you pulled off the feat of beating a level 95 boss at level 44 . I assume this is your account.

As I suspected: you are using over-leveled items (donated goods) and absurdly high training stats (legalized pushing). So let me ask you: how is anyone supposed to find this game appealing when they see a guy with 345 stats and level 111 gear on his mercenaries? I'm not trying to offend you—if the game allows it, you have every right to do it—but it breaks the game in a way that completely kills any interest for people to look at it or even test it

I think our mindset is pretty similar. I also love testing limits. That’s what I tried to do with this account. And no, the account was played completely without pushing and with only 30 rubies. No gifted goods. I melted a lot of items and sold silver tools (back then it was still possible to find those at low level). If I had been pushed, I’d only be wearing red items.

But of course, you’re right about one thing: it has nothing to do with balancing anymore.

I can also remember those times very well. It was an incredible amount of fun when I could beat the level 80 dungeon with a level 20 character. But I’m not sure whether that still has a place in today’s Gladiator.

Nowadays, low-level accounts have become so strong because the pushing ban was removed that there would hardly be any limits left. I have a small fun account, and with that level 60 account, I could easily defeat dungeon pre-bosses around level 140–160 without dungeon level restrictions. And as soon as I got a weapon there, I could probably push all the way to level 200 without much trouble.

I would personally have an incredible amount of fun with that, but for the game balance it would be disastrous. Within a very short time, my level 60 account would end up having only mercenaries equipped with level 200 gear. There would be no reason anymore to forge red equipment. Everyone would just run around with high-level purple gear instead.

That’s why Gameforge will probably never change it back, even though I’d personally have a lot of fun with it.

Quote from Kicky

ich weiß, dass das niemand lesen mag, aber es gab keine Änderungen an der Droprate. Weder gewollt noch ungewollt

die Praxis widerspricht dem deutlich.

da hat irgendein Mitarbeiter bei einem Uodate (wohl ungewollt) einen Fehler gemacht. Kann ja passieren, aber es bei einem aktiv bewirtschafteten Spiel würde es keine Woche gehen und der Fehler wäre wieder behoben.

Seit einem vergangenen Update ist beispielsweise die Droprate von orangen Items im Keller. Auch bei Highlevels. Haufenweise Spieler verlassen auch deswegen das Spiel. Das wird einfach ignoriert.

Ich lasse mich gerne vom Gegenteil überzeugen. Bisher sind die Signale eindeutig.

Im Forum hält man die Spieler hin mit Floskeln, nennenswerte Updates gabs seit langem nicht mehr, neue Fehler werden kaum mehr bearbeitet. Das Spiel ist auf dem Abstellgleis.

das Vorgehen ist leider typisch für ein Produkt einer Firma, welches nicht mehr weiterbearbeitet wird. Gladiatus wird noch ausgeschöpft solange noch wer dafür zahlt, neue Server sind da hilfreich. Veränderungen wird es nicht mehr geben, die nächste grosse Änderung wird die Einstellung sein sobald mit dem Spiel gar kein Deckungsbeitrag mehr erzielt wird.
