[ACCEPTED]Improved Keep Mode

[cuteday90]

I would like to suggest for the following improvement specifically on the keep mode. I know some of these may sound a bit like the bot features but I would say these were the reasons most of us used bot/ai in previous official servers. We are just looking for a peace of mind AFK-ing and focus on some other things.

1) Auto Keep? or something like that: Normally when you char runs out of range/ gets knocked out by mobs ie. SCR Vespa mobs, it automatically returns to team leader and it loses the keep mode, so in the next day we wake up just to find out that the chars spend whole night standing and not fighting, something which I think no one likes to see.

2) Scout Auto Heal: Please turn it OFF. I tried switching to dagger hoping that he would stop auto healing, but he didn't. He still does auto heal even when he's equip with dagger. With most of our characters having HP of more than 50k, it's really dumb to see scout healing 1k lol and most of the time it does more harm than good. Just my personal opinion though.

3) Keep Range: This was suggested to Dianmir earlier in discord to have adjustable keep range like what we have in other P. Server. I think Dian kinda accepted it.

All in all, not trying to make this server like a "botter server", but I think essentially these are the things that make our lives slightly easier and less worry when we go AFK.

On side note, can we remove the Demonic Controller thing?? I cannot understand why it's there at all lol. If we forget to press on it, we can't attack the boss but the boss can still attack us lol? I simply don't understand what's the purpose. If someone knows the benefit of having it, please enlighten me. Thanks

Post poll, but i agree, auto keep should be good

@Dianmir Hi Dian, is this still pending discussion outcome? Just checking, thanks

 

[Dianmir]

I haven't looked into this yet because it requires quite some hours of work, the priority is rather low.
Topic will be considered once the roadmap is finished.

Need bigger range

 

[KoolPrince]

Just repost from Player-sugestion in Discord to here for better explain ab range increase! And I like the Auto Keep idea too. Here is the post
------------
Any chance for us to have Range Increase Function?? 1000 (10m) is low for some ranger char with 15m and need at least 16m for better afk or killing monster for quest when using Ctrl + left click
Suggestions: have 1000 1200 1400 1600 1800 and 2000 (10m, 12m, 14m, 16m, 18m, 20m in range)
Use Button:
Ctrl + Minus (near backspace button)
Ctrl + Equal (near backspace button)

i think this exists but only for num pad + and -. i would like there to be different hot keys sense my laptop doesnt have a num pad though. ive looked for it in hotkeys in settings and options on the updater but i havent had any luck finding it

I said Minus and Equal near the backspace button sir

Because some suggestions are harder to implement than others.
Please consider this next time when asking such a question.

Of course if this reduces the amount of work for me. Please contact me on Discord about it, thanks!

For a game that relies heavily on space-bar afk, this feature is a must.
Pretty sad to come back from 12 hours of work, only to know that your character died because the auto keep was disabled due to chasing stray mobs, especially for melee characters.

Fully agree with u, this thing is a must, just for more comfort, and stable for players, it's rly annoying, when after 1h, MCC's just stand... so sad, jesus

I do not agree on this, if bots are not allowed there is a reson, some items are harder to farm or lvl up, because is meant to be that way, the game still needs to be played not leave afk 24/7 then go sell and park your chars farm again, this would allow alts that struggle to farm things cuz kbed, to just do it all the time. there must be a "system" to prevent that? and the lvl up problem, you need to position you char in a good spot, pot up and that is it.

 

[Redsuns]

I can imagine people ksing with certain chars in SCR but anyway, lets go with it.

The core of the game itself is to Spacebar and AFK; be it to level up, farm items/ingredients, or to do quest.
I'm not trying to be sarcastic, but are you new to this game?

We don't actually need full control over the Keep range, or other known feature of the Auto-Keep.
All we are asking for is actually: Improve the Auto Keep so that your character does not stop attacking after a while.

RGE allows us to manually set the range, which at the end abuses the system as it allows KS to take place.

What AGE could do is set a default range that cannot be change; 1600 - 1800 seems to be the appropriate range so that your range character can make use of the attacking range that they were given with in the first place.

You can position your character however you like, I can guarantee you that I can make your character stop attacking regardless, be it melee or range. Especially in SCR.

Yes if you a spot stealer you can make me stop ofc, i wonder if you new, if cant afk properly in this old game. Redsuns pointed out another valid argument against, big ranged chars will be able to afk on more than one spot ksing other weaker players. All like to cite rge changes but people play here, so weird. i know some people who went with 3 csc/cc in scr taking even 3 spots in scr cuz of this change so pls XD

I don't need to spot steal to make your character stop attacking. Simply running pass you while looking for a spot is already enough, especially in Ancient territory.
If these sort of thing are oblivious to you, then you probably have very little hours in the core game itself.

I am citing RGE because it's the only other private server out there, and has features that can be beneficial to the server.

And SCR is not the only place to AFK.
