View Full Version : 'All aco' boost?

Latley ive seen ALOT of acos just sitten there not doing anything D:
so me and a few friends thought of an idea, how bout an all aco boost?
if a pt consist of 3 or more acos, and ONLY acos, the pt gets an extra boost~ like 30%- 50% becauz of our slow killing rate and burning pots :x.
i think this would be really good for the acos that cant find pts.. *cough* me *cough*.. and becauz alot of aoers ive seen lately are doing solo aoe. = tough competition between acos for pts. = more acos doing nothing...
it's just an idea, comments and suggestions are welcome ~:3
Other ideas posted:
1)Higher dmg, better buffs, use less mp per attack, so that acos can solo.
2)'undead' monsters, which heals do dmg to (major heal= clerics can aoe)
3)extra exp from healing (acos not being leeches x3)
4)more random drops (idk what this has to do with acos just sittin around but o well.)

I like the idea of an aco boost however I feel more like acos should be allowed to attack higher (so we can solo). And anyways, other classes might start to complain if acos are allowed to get that extra boost when they can't.

i see your point o.O .
however either way, acos whould b getting the same amount of exp as in a normal party. i thought this would be good for acos mainly becauz it gets rid of some of the random acos waiting around for a pt.
:/ but if we had a higher attack, id appreciate that 2 ~x3

You should pm a GM or outspark, they might be able to fix that, and yes our attack rates are bad, but don't forget that all of our attacks slow down the monster, I think it makes it quite balanced. Though an increase in attack would be really nice~ I do agree on the part of the aco's and clerics just sitting around...

Clerics and acos sitting around...waiting...waiting...waiting...*remembers lvl 47 days....* Q.Q...poor healers...We do need to tell a GM...stronger attacks...stronger heals...stronger buffs...but I highly doubt they'd do anything for that since healers are mostly support class....

Well Acolytes and Clerics were intended to be party dependent characters. I can see why you guys would want a increase in power and ability, but that would in a sense ruin the purpose of a healer wouldn't it? Think about it, if you had a lot of damage and speed, they wouldn't be what makes them special, a great support class.
What would be more beneficial to the environment and especially acolytes and clerics is that if they GMS would incorporate more maps, even quests (definitely), and bosses that incorporate teamwork. If a mob/monster/boss is difficult enough, acolytes and clerics would be a MUST as well as other classes and their support skills.
Of course one exploit would be a difference in level, what requires a team for per say 4x-6x, may easily be solo'd by a much higher level, 9x (saying numbers off the top of my head). So why not make special dungeons, instances (whatever you may call them), like the labyrinths that are level limited, but worthwhile?
Perhaps buffing a class may not be a great idea, go look at a disciple/templar.
Too much damage, decent disables and stuns, and a few healing spells. When i walk around town, i see way too many disciples. When many many people go one class i think it's unbalanced.
But think about it and discuss people!!!! :p

As the number of Acolytes and Cleriques has increased significantly, they might be getting less chance to find a party. To be optimistic, I guess that is also a part of life as an aco... lol

I think it is precisely the problem with acos finding a party that they decide to become a disciple, hence an increase in the amount of disciples in the game. Honestly speaking, if they didn't make disciples a branch of acolytes, then I would be frustrated. I can't stand partying all the time and I would prefer soloing. Being a disciple makes soloing much more easier compared to being an acolyte. (I'm not saying I hate partying, I enjoy it... but sometimes I would like to go at my own pace)
One thing about support classes is that when they party, they rarely get any good drops. That's what I find pretty frustrating, esp. when there's a xen that drops. Also I've noticed that when the party puts the item division as random, it's not really random. Whoever attacks the most/hardest and picks up the item more often tends to get items, although the options are set at random. So whenever I party, my aco never gets anything.
I like the dungeon idea however there are some people whose stats are messed up and their character aren't as well suited for a specific dungeon as the other people in their classes are at the same level. A party may help but some people would like the solo... unless if you plan to make the dungeon party only.

That is exactly what i mean, and i'm thinking/planning some way to present this case to the GMs.
You know there has to be a certain point where the games should focus more on team play rather individual effort aka. solo-ing. If people love to solo so much they should be playing a single player game rather multilayer much less an MMO I think. If anything this game lacks, it is the element of having a party and teamwork. Everything so far can be accomplished by yourself which may or may not be good depending on how you view it.
After saying all this... someone find me an AP 6 technical club to trade moi >.<

lol ironically, the first time i went into the mines i was the one in my pt to get the RDB.
:/ i think drops are according to lvl, so i think u might be correct in that it isnt 'compleatly random'

Actually, from my recent partying, the drops are NOT according to level. I was either the highest or the lowest leveled person in the party and I barely got any drops. However because I'm quick at picking things up, I do take note on who receives the items more often. The people who get most of the drops are the people who deal most the damage and hit the hardest. I hope outspark actually makes it random if they ever choose to fix the problem. I want some of the drops too. ><

Here's a suggestion
Instead of 'an aco boost' (it might make acolytes just tend to party with other acolytes) how about giving exp to acolytes for healing? It doesnt have to be much exp, but I think it be good to see acolytes getting exp for healing party members or just random players.

Goodness what planet are you from? Do you know what that will do! That will unbalanced....ugh that's a bad idea. Acolytes getting exp from healing that has already been suggested and is still by far the worse idea. I mean can you imagine the acolytes just standing around and using minor heal on a random person just to gain exp. Now is that any way to level up?

sorry maybe I didnt make myself clear =S my bad.
heal = get a tiny bit of exp but nowhere near as much as one would get from slaying a monster @_@ ridiculous of course.
Furthermore it should be a decent heal (meaning it has to actually give hp back to the person they healed not just healing because of the exp) that way an acolyte can't abuse going around spamming heal around.
Again im sorry for the confusion =P

Then let me tell you what I think. You would still abuse the power, just get hit then heal, get hit then heal. Seriously you could keep that up and gain your lvl. Also, did you know that higher lvls barely even get 0.01 for 1 mob? They even get less than that. So to the priests we have now, they could get hit and heal get hit and heal. And would gain more exp then slaying a mob. Seriously, oh and did you know, healer's can solo too. Including me. I could go grab a mob and keep healing myself. Wow, what a way to earn exp.

So true :p As a disciple I spam 350 mp pots in a matter of minutes... This Disciple is now poor :mad: I guess I could sell that last Xen stone I have :p
Maybe instead of more powerful attacks how about more attack skills at earlier lvls? Apps have that icey attack that causes dmg plus Mindbuster. Acos can have a type of spirit that also causes dmg

When I suggested that aco attacks should be increased, I didn't mean for it to increase so much that it's comparable to the attacks of an apprentice. It's hard for acos to solo in a decent place because our attacks are low. Even if we can solo, we'd barely have any MP left to heal ourselves when we get attacked unless we use a MP pot.

Well, here's the problem - if, somehow, this does become implemented: how much EXP will the acolyte get for healing somebody? Will it decrease in the amount of EXP they get when they level up? Also, some acolytes might as well just spam their skill healing people in their party/other people just to get that EXP from healing - even though some people don't need to be healed (basically what others have said).

i think this would be really good for the acos that cant find pts.. *cough* me *cough*.. and becauz alot of aoers ive seen lately are doing solo aoe. = tough competition between acos for pts. = more acos doing nothing...
it's just an idea, comments and suggestions are welcome ~:3
If your having a hard time go disp
solo
and healing
you went with a aco

o 3o Not sure if this is a severely late post or not. >.<; If this is, just disregard it or something. ^^;
I don't think acos should get a boost for mass partying. Yes, aco life is tough. It's freakin' tough like--...anyway, it wouldn't necessarily balance classes if you take two imbalances against eachother (exp boost against ability to solo). I think beefing up Illusion quake some would do the trick, so that soloing becomes easier.
Acos can level pretty well on parties, though. It's ironic that, of all the parties I've seen, parties always seem to be short on acos and (when I was acoing hard) acos seem to always need parties. .__. I wonder what's going on here...

i dont have a hard time finding kron for pots, i solo in were you can kill the monsters and the drops give ok amount of kron, i get about 20-40k of kron, but thats cause i sell all the armors and books to the stores, but i keep all aco books i find cause i like giving them away to lower lv acos so they dont have to work to hard for them

Angelu must have been a horible aco T.T how can you say that T.T
Its not fair to us acos that well everybody else can solo we can't and are forced to join a party or else slowly lvl. And im sick of plpl asking me for a buff
ESPECAILLY DISPLES! >< THEY chose disp. so they shouldn't ask for more buffs when they alredy have some. They should also give acos an attack AOE
Disples get 3 AOES Two attack aoes and one heal aoe(though not as good as an aco)
and whats worse is that i get called rude names when i don't buff someone or revive them T.T
Disiples should agree that acos should get an exp because they were acos once to and know how hard it is to lvl T.T
Anyways if u see me on the game whispers me and i might help u out ^^

ok sammie i totally dont get you...at all. xD
you say you hate ppl asking for buffs...but you just told ppl to pm you if they need your help. o.o buffing is helping ppl...so i dont get it.
and you chose to be an aco. not a disc. so dont get mad at ppl for asking for buffs when youre the only one who can give them. ppl need you. be proud of it? dont whine about all the things acos dont have when you are choosing to stay aco. :/
idk if i agree about giving acos an attack aoe either. acos are a support and healing class. if acoes had attack aoes then no one would need acos and there would be less partying and everyone would just solo. x_x why dont we just combine every class and have everything yeah! -.- oh and about the rude names...i guess you just come across idiots. xD sorry.

I don't understand acos like you? I had a conversation with a few in game that seem to feel the way you do, which I died a lot because of them, they didn't want to heal or buff me because I have heal assist and my own buffs but they would keep on me to give them the erousia buff. While I was an aco I used to walk thru fields giving out random buffs and heals just cause I could do that and I am sorry if that has made it so that some peeps think that it should always be that way when some don't want to give them out at all or want to make players beg to get healed or buffed.
I don't think a boost for exp cause your an aco is a good idea because it can unbalance things very badly but making illusion quake a bit stronger that I do agree with and it can be hard to lvl any of the classes so acos aren't alone in the hard lvling.

Well, buffing, healing, and reviving people are what we do. I generally do buff and heal people who ask unless my party is in need, then my precious mp is reserved for them. I also buff people who don't ask for it, especially friends, or people is see helping out others, such as clearing a safe zone or pulling a mob off someone running. I usually make a point of buffing scouts and disciples as those two classes tend to be the ones who come to my rescue if I get mobbed. I do get irritated at people who run up and demand buffs while I'm in an aoe party and we are killing. I am usually the only healer and need to pay attention to what's going on. I have lots of templar/disciple friends and combining my buffs with theirs general mean they can aoe a couple of maps higher which helps us all. Although I understand our attack skills are meant to be defensive, I wish they were stronger. I also wish we has another aoe skill, perhaps a group buff, or major meditation.

i wasnt dissing your posts...just disagreeing. =]
if you are staying cleric just for the outfit...well...idk what to say. i mean, im not gonna lie youre different then most acos. ppl are used to acos being nice and giving out buffs all the time, because ppl need you. you cant get mad when ppl see youre an aco and ask for buffs...most ppl would gladly help the person out and buff them. no one knows you dont like buffing. maybe use yellow eggs to shout everyday you hate buffing ppl and then everyone will know its pointless to ask you. :/
honestly...go disp if you hate the cleric path so much. it would save you a lot of stress/frustration. xD

We work as hard as our party can cooperate. Try keeping up with a full party as the only acolyte where the party demands both buffs and runs far ahead as soon as you buff them, expecting that you'll live, catch up, and heal them when they die in 2 or 3 hits even though you're still going down the list of the other 7 people needing a buff. :P

.. as for acos leeching, i find that the acos have to work the hardest D:
mages+other ranged can sorta slack off in a large pt, but the acos have to work a lot harder, and the mp use is rediculous~ were like mages without the attack >.>

OMG lol this post is sooo true! i have a neo too for when i get sick of demanding party members. Aco is the class where u have to pay THE most attention. Between buffing, healing, watching for aggro, pot spamming and chasing party members u don't have any time to take breaks like other classes.
That said, i LOVE being a cleric.
Also, acolyte/cleric is NOT a leech class. I hate people who say that. They can rot. we work hard. >:o
Tatsumiko
08-11-2008, 04:20 AM
aco is somewhat even with app/mage in the pot spamming department
we use 45 mp for both bless and fist up lv 3
and with full pt its...45X8 = 360 mp per buff session
minor heal cost 19 at lv 4 (which i rarely use anyway XP)
besides other class can divert their attention from the pt for a while cuz we healer can just heal them. but we can't or everyone dies ><

I really like the instance idea, i play WoW and it has to be one of the BEST things in that game. it could have a level restriction, maybe even like GW or WoW where when a party is on the map, they are the only one there, maybe to much for a game like this, i don't know what its running. but the idea is a great one. it always helps to get people partys, when people are looking to make one.

Acos are leechers? Are you kidding me? Acos work hard too! We deserve the EXP we get from partying with everybody. We HEAL AND BUFF people. If we weren't acos, we would be fighting there instead of healing and buffing people - but then you guys would start complaining about needing an aco. Also, acos attack at times too. Whatever you say, acos do NOT leech.
I agree with a lot of people here. Acos have to pay attention the most. When I grind on my neo, I'm usually chatting with others and/or reading while I'm grinding (multitasking ftw!), esp. if I'm in a party. However, being an aco in a party... I have to stare at the screen the whole time while I'm partying for fear of somebody dying and yelling at me. Doesn't help when the person you need to heal is far from you and then everybody else all of a sudden needs to be healed too.

uh huh... acos shouldn't get EXP in a party for healing and buffing people? Healing and buffing takes skill. If you don't want an aco to "leech" in your party, just have the aco attack instead of heal. You wouldn't call that leeching, would you? Anyways, I'm pretty sure that if an aco wasn't there then you would spend a lot of money on HP pots or a lot of time sitting. With an aco, the party's time spent healing HP and HP pot spamming is reduced giving more time to kill more monsters earning your party and you more EXP. Also parties sometimes need an aco for the EXP boost too. So basically acos are giving a party more EXP.
