Hello all,


i am not sure wether this was allready said by other people. But i think this is surely to be taken seriously.


The Kindom Quests or KQs, they are like raids in games like WoW. I personally think these KQs*rocks and they really are fun to do. BUT there is a little thing that needs some more shaving. Take a look at the way you join the KQs. Its about timing your "click" on the button. I have experienced there is no way to join the KQ when you have a little bit of lag. i tried to join KQ [F] and i clicked right on time, however there were only 2 participant, i could not join in untill after 10 mins it was full and it said, "too many participants". I think there are more creative ways of solving the problem of ppl joining in the KQs. (this was around noon and my sister was at MSN, no dowloads on)


Second thing is the quests you have to do along the Kingdom quests, like "Kill 5 iron slimes" or "Kill 10 Mara Pirate Elites and 5 Mara pirates". These kills are counted when a person of your group (i will come back to this) gives the last blow to these mobs. When you have a quest like "Kill the King Slime and Queen Slime" this is very hard because there is only 1 of both of them. So you have to be very lucky to be in the group with the last blow. You could say this is a 33% chance to be in the right group, if the groups are equal that is. However, the King Slime for example spawns adds like crazy and these should be killed as well, so if you are being nice and kill the adds so the clerics will survive you get punished by not getting the last blow on the King Slime. This whole problem can be solved by making 1 big group in KQs or another rule within these KQs, wich is every group that did any damage to the King Slime will get the kill.


ooof, that was kinda long ^^


However, dont take me wrong, I REALLY like the game and the KQs but it would be much nicer to be able to join KQs whenever i want, like subscribe and when there are 15 ppl start :) Or not have to join the KQ like 10 times just for a Fake Marlone kill.


Do not hate me for saying this, because i really enjoy to keep playing :)


OH 1 more thing (or 2 if you want to take it that way)


The proffesions Composition and Decomposition, These professions dont make any profit, I figure these were made to make it easier to get the right mats for other professions, but whats the point when you can find the mats as well?

while you have valid points, I disagree with your 1 group idea. If 15 ppl were able to complete the KQ quests after doing 3 KQs minimum (there are 3 quests AFAIK), there would be little reasons to do KQs anymore (unless you're an XP / loot wore).


2nd, yes the click-the-button-and-pray-for-luck signup tend to sux. It would be better if people could register and the server pickup 15 ppl, with (and that's debatable) a sufficient amount of the required class (1 tank*+ 3 clerics, whatever the KQ deseperatly need), wich is my 3rd point.

Well if that problem is v easy to solve. Just make the quests thrice (or more) as hard.


The point of the KQ is to make it to the end as a team, and work together. Not make it a race who is most fast and kills most beasts (which it is now). 1 party would be better, though what you say, the missions should be harder then.

the make-1-big-group idea came up in me when i was thinking of raids in WoW ^^ I admit it is like you said. Only the loot/ XP wolves will keep doing them. But still.. I wasnt able to complete all 3 quests for the King Slime KQ, because i was lvl 15 too soon ^^, maybe i should have gone into the KQ when i was lvl 5 allready and not wait untill i was lvl 9-10.


On your 2nd/3rd point i agree, i have been thinking about that a long time, but i didnt know how to put it in a sentence :)


Thank you for your ear :-)
