So far the chances have fantastic. The unbinded dshop items (such as talis, orincas, the key packages etc)
I think there could be a few more to be had such as costumes.
Adding in-game GMs would be a huge help since you guys are too busy. These people some be vets, who don't gain too much of the GM power, but more as a direct link to you guys so they can forward information about bugs etc as and when they arise.
Oh and advertise the game.
But other than that, epic shit guys. GG.
Having the chance for the wings in a random box, which a lower initial cost entices players who buy lower amounts of dkc to buy them. So instead of a few one off 40$ payments, theyll take 100s of 5$ for it. Coupled with the lowered chance of getting item from the random box, people will go 1 of two ways. 1. realise a scam when they see it and cut their losses. 2. Get caught up in the lower payment hype, over spend and still not receive it fueling more donations on a lost cause.
If everyone is really united against the random box fallacy, they wouldnt be adding more as there wouldnt a market for it so when you say everyone, youre actually talking about the minority.
What happened to the point of this thread?
The game has become MORE pay to win as of late.
1. Launch new server
The game is old and I mean really old. People have been playing on their accounts for what? 5, 10 years? The accumulated wealth after all these years is insane and simply not reachable for casual players. And I don't mean that casual players need to be competitive with veterans but the difference is like comparing a demi-god to a flea. How many hundreds of billions do you need to have at least average geared character? The new server would put everyone at square one, in a new economy finding a blue item or even an argate would be meaningful just like in the old days. Heck, even back when they added Cs and Segu I remember making a lot of cash from selling white weapons for new classes. Farming and making new items would be really viable again. (Papaya would get a lot of profit from people buying item upgrade helpers, talismans, etc.) Not to forget how much of duping, botting and hacking slipped through the cracks through the years and made the economy worse.
2. Make it different
a) No stated items from dshop (buffs, costumes, wings, emblems etc.). It would be fine if they were only visual upgrades just like in the old days when the word "cosmetics" actually meant cosmetics.
c) There should be at least one permanent leveling event active at all times. No Infinite Battles, and no free +++ sets from the leveling event. I would personally prefer if they brought back Watermelon rune as a PVP reward.
d) All PVP events should be made more relevant. Dksq, Battle Royale, Arena.
e) Old dungeons should be brought back and actually made worth doing again with better drops, quests or other incentives.
All in all, it comes down to launching a new server, revamping content, revamping d-shop and enjoying a revived game. But we all know none of this will ever happen and Dekaron will be shut down a year or two later when no new company will be willing to take on it. And to everyone who is reading this feel free to discuss any points with me.
Here are my thoughts since coming back.
This brings me to:
Which makes me realize just how irrelevant every old item is.. s2 annus novo rings.. tiesto arie... blue dragon wings? Worthless because the game is 100% reliant on having 20% crit and crit/pk resist on every slot?
Here's a list of items new (or god forbid you were inactive too long) players have no chance of farming or understanding easily:
To even be relevant in this game (read: not hit for 2k dmg against npcs), you need a very specific setup of wedding rings, master dragon necklace, perp, papaya belt +9 that you can't farm, trieste armlets, high destroy helpy set+wep, and flag of war from literally just getting lucky in dshop, that's had it's prices increased like 5x?
You can barely even play the game for fun. The gap between new and old players is too extreme. You need to at least introduce a lower-tier "end game" setup. Add set bonuses to all sets, make old items relevant by boosting their stats, make event rings that can compete with MWR/MDN, something like this.
And somehow incentivize the day-of-the-week daily quests because nobody in Core DF+ guilds gives a fk about them. BUT we do store old items because they may be needed one day for crafting.
And for god sake, buy some rights to advertise the game. This game died when Nexon bought it because they only had the rights to advertise in their own game titles, and it suffered worse than the banning 40% of the game for tradeable keys event.
I've played a few share of MMO's, one stood out where they have Guild's who have lands. You could implement in the Game where each Guild owns a Map. Where we battle out for territory of the Map? Because DK-Square is boring, Dungeon's we do not farm or were not there in them. DF's are kind of irrelevant and they need a re-vamp because they've been the same since the grand release. I know that you released the 185 Dungeon, but after time it's only 1-2 Dungeon's you've added into game. It's not a huge change to what can excite us. The Helpyron sets is something we're at a pause because no Graces.
