Bronze Keys do not appropriately fit into the MVP reward loot table. Opening a box and receiving 3 really bad stat foods and 2 small life potions does not come close to matching the value of the items they replaced.

 

Also you really need to make them account bound at the very least. Even then not being able to split the keys I get with the people I MVP with is dumb.

 

Have you sat down and actually opened 5, 10, 50 and 100 of these at once? I find it very hard to believe that these drop rates are going to be very rewarding, especially when you are considering charging people for the privilege of getting sweet -_- all. NPC items in the Uncommon loot table, holy moly.

i've opened 3-5 gold keyed lows and quite a feeeew bronzes. got nothing worth mentioning. i'll say again that the mid and high tier boxes might "fix" this.... but atm there are a few problems.

 

-i would estimate the value of a +9-10 emh at roughly double to triple what it was a year ago.... IF you can find a seller. and the price was already crazy high. (just one good example)

 

-second problem is... are the low tier boxes designed for anyone? who is going to waist $$ on keys or time getting keys for this? i know i feel like i wasted what little i spent on keys (and it wasn't even that much...)

 

IF i were to invest in kp today..... i would shop in renewal, sell in re, broker a deal with a cross server player, and get my classic zenny prolly a month or two down the road after a bunch of bartering, sitting with a chat up waiting, ect.

because? cuz everything in the kp shop atm is either not a high value/volume commodity, doesn't turn a high enough exchange rate (kp spent vs zenny returned), is ridiculously overpriced compared to the same "product" last year (looking at hats here), or all three.

 

seriously, just have an employee at wp "play the market" for a few months (one hour a day setting up shops and keeping records) someone with simple accounting know how. these drastic changes in availability will be real obvious to someone "on the ground".

The keys need to be account bound, plenty are npced so people can trans.

And I might point out, hunting the caches is kind of unfun because they take so long to kill.

I'm hesitant to offer negative opinions, because I know how quickly that slows down your projects and this one was started in October. It should be finished by now.

 

HOWEVER. There's a whole lot of better ways to go about it, people could give you plenty of different options, but we dont really know how. What Lost said at the end is very important, you guys dont have a grasp on the state of the economy or how players actually play the game, without that you will always struggle to create new game systems.

 

If you have any access at all to historical sales data for Classic, you should be diving into that and figuring out what was in those boxes at that time. Look at the cost of those boxes and how do those compare to what you have proposed in this thread?

I'd rather see hat certs directly dropping from MVPs (to give people a reason to hunt them) or *GASP* from woe treasure!

Or via TIs or something. People need to play together.

I still like modified jRO link type system. One or more currencies earned from different areas of the game and used to purchase items. Once the system has been set up you dont need to worry about acquisition of the currency and all you need to do is maintain the rewards. You can rotate things in/out, change prices and add/remove things as needed. If you want to add cash shop elements to it you can add Magic Stones as a currency or substitute for certain items.

 

But yes, adding the Coupons to the MVP Reward I think is a good/fast/temporary alternative. I dont believe the MVP Rewards are effected by drop modifiers (I havent done any real testing on this, so I could be wrong) and if you put what you want to drop at the very front of the list, you'll always end up getting that at x% from the bosses.

The requirement for the EMH is too much, the dullahan eye is less than a card rate drop and it's a hat that requires upgrades.

Really unfair on returning and joining players.

130 boxes opened with gold keys 0 hat certs. I will not waste money on keys again, either bring back lucky boxes which i believe most of the community enjoyed or just put the certs in kafra shop we dont want +3-5 stat foods or another picky card.

 

90% drops: Trash you can buy from NPC already and +3 stat foods that I just spam so they don't needlessly waste space in my storage (we buy +10 foods already, this is not a reward)

 

9% drops: Maybe 2 cards in the lot that are worth more then 10m on market? If this is an attempt to help new/returning players i would just advise they sell kafra points to me or someone like me because they will get 10x their return on the kafra points that way.

 

Everything in the 1% is trash other then the cert. We buy gum from kafra if thats what we need, we buy BMs from kafra and convert them into BMx3 if thats what we need. Just give us what we want. If its a quest so that people play vs throw money at kafra thats fine just so long as it isn't a lame dice roll to get what we actually were going for.

 

end rant~

The idea was good at first, the main problem was that they didn't really ask if we were expecting the cache boxes to replace the lucky boxes (which is funny because the lucky boxes were replaced for a system that, back then, and now, is not in a state to be implemented)

 

 

Whenever you develop something  "better" to replace a previous system the first thing you have to do is run both together until the new one is already completely implemented and functional so there is no harm when shutting down the previus system.

 

I don't remember players asking for something to replace the previous system. What we wanted was an alternative.

ya, if i remember correctly it was at the time we had the in house with the korea ppl. it seemed to me at the time that changes were being made to kp systems in classic and re.., most likely as a result of the meetings or internal goals made around that time. renewal players have shot down camps attempts at a few systems. but all in all they have new ways to monetize things in the works.

 

we have 1/3 of a system that no one understands the design goals of... that no one asked for... and that when directly made a product (here's looking at headgear certs) cost sooooo much for why?!?!?!?!

 

 

now if headgear certs were "true card drop rate" from specific mobs..... like the system seemed to include originally? and the boxes were tiers in a way that made logic happy? then i would be kinda happy the old kp boxes were gone. idk.... i want to see it all in place so i can be more informed. but that's not happening this year.

the entire system, including all three tiers of boxes AND a cert + quest for each headgear we could have gotten from kp boxes then years before that..... coming 2018-2019. i wish i could find the post when this was announced.... i swear we were in the middle of taking a good look at the server and SMACK! this #### in our faces. funny part is the population , or , accounts logged in at once has only gone up..... are these players? i dont know. but i hope so.

Spend $$ on keys to get the cert and now you find out it will take 50 hours to hunt the well-dried bones, gg.  They never posted the list online I guess. Does he ask for Sea-Otter Fur or the renewal item "Fur"?

The Headgear NPC has been updated to provide more information regarding available head gears and their requirements.
Frank now lists all hats that can be made.
When you select a hat Frank will list all the parts needed to make it.
Headgear Certs will now be a flat 3% chance in all treasure cache rolls.

The Keys that drop from MVP's will be tradable. Note that this will not be retroactive.
