zomg staffing/rings

[star dazl]

So i know from my friend on here that some of them are using their mule for zomg because when they were first starting out they either did not pick up their ring or they salvaged on accident or something like that. Rings if they are in the market place are really expensive so no buying it there. They need to come up with some way for them to get another ring. Or have it so people can put in a request for a new ring.

I know that this would take proper staffing to do but they need more people working on Gaia any way. The game gets bugs and then is no longer able to function properly. I have been in saw mile wen its lagging super bad you can’t see what ones you have killed already. The lag in other areas keeps you from going places and collecting loot. A big staff would take care of this.

so the mane thing is zomg needs like every two weeks to be taken off line for a litte bite and have bugs worked out and lags fixed. i wasnt on gaia or palying zomg when people were buying their way throught the game i all ways wonderd why they were sole bound. wen you go to crew up wont the leader see that you dont have a ring and not crew you?

There are ways to get rings (even without a ring to begin with - simply crewing with others in Village Greens and staying on the same screen until a ring drops). This is something that proper coordination between users might help.

Which ring are you talking about specifically?

It's not hard to get new rings. I get them all the time while orb/badge farming with a crew.

If I'm in a full crew, and everyone is fighting hard, I get two rings an hour, three if I have Fortune's Favor equipped. For some reason I keep ending up with a Pot Lid. I've had to discard that ring sooooo many times it's ridiculous!

The higher CL the area you're farming is, the better rings you get (and they have a better salvage rate too!)

Obtaining rings through Crew run can be bit of a hassle, especially because it's a game of chance. The ring dropped might not be useful to you or might not be the one you're looking for. However, you get them for free anyway.

Having said that, I agree with both of your statements. Lag is a major issue and I seriously wouldn't mind if they added something to zOMG to get rid of it. Most people have a decent internet anyway. Also, though it's fair that we cannot sell rings because most people just bought their way to a 10CL, there should be a way for us to trade rings. You know, maybe ring for a ring. Kind of like trading Pokemon works inside the game; you can only get someone's Pokemon if you trade one in return.

No, trading rings will get abused. I can see it. All it takes is one person sending another person a "donation" of G and then the other person "thanks" them with a high CL ring and BAM! People will be buying their way up again.

So the main thing is that zomg needs to be taken offline for a little bit every two weeks and have bugs worked out and lags fixed. I wasn't on gaia or playing zomg when people were buying their way through the game - I always wondered why they were soulbound. When you go to crew up won't the leader see that you don't have a ring and not crew you?

The bugs can be worked out while zOMG is still up (although they do generally need a bit of downtime to make the changes to zOMG itself once the solutions have been figured out). To have new bug fixes of such a kind every two weeks would be pretty impressive with the small team being thrown about as they are.

If you mean for crewing to get a ring - it is simple to explain to people that you simply need a ring drop. Unless the crew is full, there is no practical loss to people in adding another crew member. Lots of people understand the trouble and will go out of their way to help players stuck in that problem, much less just do exactly what they were doing before, helping the player in the process.
