WoE Stuff

[noah18cars]

Laenaya: The problem with BG on heRO doesn't lie only on the types of BG offered, the hourly BG with BG keys is also a huge mistake. heRO is what, 8 years old? Do you really think that any veterans who want to find a server where they can BG and WoE are going to settle on the server where they have to wait 10 minutes just to start a BG, and need an item to start the BG in the first place? No, they're going to settle on a server that uses the common sense 'when enough people join we start' approach. Veteran WoE players joining a Low Rate server on a 10 year old game rather than a mid or high rate is already unlikely enough. Now you put asinine time-draining obstacles in their way, and the chances of any players like that settling here are slim to none. The 'no keys after 40 minutes' thing is absolutely horrible as well. Even if you get in a rhythm of using the keys, having a 25 minute break in the middle of your BGing is enough to make anybody want to just stop. If heRO is set on using the Key system, the only way I could possibly see it working at all is by drastically lowering the price of BG keys and removing the hourly WoE completely so there are no unnecessary 25 minute breaks. Also, the price for items needs to be lowered and the wait time badly needs to be reduced.
The exp and rewards from WoE are negligible as far as I'm concerned. Any hardcore player can farm 100x more exp and 5x more rewards in the hour it takes to WoE. The true problem, as you said, is the lack of WoE SE. Between WoE FE and the infuriatingly time-inefficient BG I'd argue that heRO is past the realm of veteran players just not joining, and entering the realm of veteran players telling all of their friends what a bad server for WoE this is. Common sense BG changes and WoE SE should be THE SERVER'S TOP PRIORITIES. I know it's hard to process on heRO but NO MORE CUTE HATS, NO MORE ADORABLE SEASONAL QUESTS!!!!!1! This desperately needs to be fixed ASAP as it does more damage to the server's reputation and population every day.
Last thing I want to say is, and I'll put this in bold caps because it's very important IF YOU NEED PEOPLE ON THE TEST SERVER, THEN BE LOUD ABOUT IT!!!!1!!11! Advertise on the forums, advertise on main, AGGRESSIVELY PURSUE TESTERS. 99% of the server didn't even know new BG was on the test server, I'd argue 80% of people don't know the test server exists. Yet, when Pandora asked for 18 people to join her party to test new party size limit, she got it within 3 minutes, right after a server reboot...
