Reasons why Fiesta is going down the drain....and fast

[Yosei]

We don't need to have world DJ. It means if you were type type something like
Yosei: w
Yosei: e
Yosei: l
Yosei: c
Yosei: o
Yosei:m
Yosei: e
*kicks*
It wouldn't take me long to spit all that out.

Lol. I think the biggest negative with this game is that each character is effectively the same. Every mage has the same spells, and only a couple builds to choose from. There is no variety at all.

I miss RO.

Yeah, and like in EQ, at level 15, you chose a path, to go on a power path or damage path, and as you gained skills, and stats etc, you got an option of different classes that branch off more.

I don't mind if it's generalized. It just makes the game simple and straight-forward. You don't have to worry so much about "messing up" in-game with stats/skills. But because is so "bland" when it comes to character abilities... that is why we need things such as character customization to make each person unique as possible. Not only that but also different weapons (like those Halloween and Christmas types) available through either Cash Shop or event mob drops.

Hmm fiesta is going down hill because.
1. bots
2. little annoying begging kids.
3. its a constant grind fest.
4. from lvl 40 + u get one quest a lvl ....

What Bright Kingdom has that we don't...
1. Battlegrounds
2. More zones
3. More KQ
4. Easier leveling system
5. Tradeable cash shop items(apparently)
6. Customizations
7. More skills
8. Houses(not mushroom houses)

I'm sure all of that together equals more fun than this Fiesta =/
.

I know I am jumping in this discussion late, but I need to ask, what exactly is Bright Kingdom? I have heard it mentioned a lot, but have no idea what it is. I play on the Korean servers of Fiesta online with my wife. And all the things you listed for Bright kingdom, we have on the Korean Fiesta online. I was leveling in the battlegrounds(lv.30-40 one) last night. Our cash shop items are tradeable as long as they are not equipped first, and yes to all the rest as well. Decorating your house is especially time/money consuming. Nice house though, complete with a pool.

Bright Kingdom is simply the Japanese ver. of Fiesta.

Character generalization, I don't mind TOO much. It does limit our character variability and makes us less unique, but it does help in parties. Because we cannot specialize ourselves too much, we need other players and other classes to party with, which makes the grinding aspect a little more fun if you have to party and work with others.

I hate the spammers. The loss of a world DJ or the titles before it won't be as big of a loss if they got rid of the spammers. I hardly doubt that the spammers will take the time to program their little spammer bots to say a completely different advertisement each time it spews out a message. The bots stop people from having a normal conversation in a city, and it probably causes a lot of lag for people that don't filter their normal/shout chat.

Why are they not implementing stuff from BK? They seem to be waiting too long. Are they waiting for all the high-level players who are grinding on their butts off to quit before they implement the fun stuff? BK has already released the patches including all the things that would make this game more fun - Outspark just needs to implement all that. Also, they don't seem to focus on the important things. One day, I saw THREE posts from a GM. Yes, THREE. THREEEEEEE posts from a GM xD It was all in the same forum, the archer forum, adressing the issues of archers being underpowered. I understand that they will need time to solve these issues, but it's been quite long. And what have they been posting so far? Very short posts, on descriptions or explanations of why the game is so fragile and unstable, no help on what needs to be fixed, no compensations.

Don't get me wrong, this is a GREAT game. Second MMO I've played, though, so I can't compare it to much. However, it has great graphics and pretty nice gameplay, and at the lower levels with the lots of quests to help us and self-explanatory skills, NPCs, and other systems, it was a lot of fun. But I still think there's a lot to improve.

What I dislike about fiesta, or rather outsparks version is the lack of respect. Not respect from players, but from outspark itself. Outspark removes a great deal of stuff found in other versions of Fiesta - Shine Online, Bright Kingdom, such as skills.

What to me shows a real lack of respect is they believe were stupid. That we wouldn't find out that you can practically buy the mounts we buy in the cash shop, with ingame currency in other versions. The same goes with the beauty shop. They believe we're stupid and dont realize we're being cheated.

They also implement things without proper testing. Leaving us unable to play in some situations without the use of some unorthodox methods (XTrap issue)
