Is anyone else getting annoyed at the increasing cost of gears from past OCP boxes? Will warpportal do something about this; or will new/returning players be priced out of this game?

 

I'm not pissed at players for selling these items for what they're worth. I'm pissed at how these gears are sold. Why sell these for a limited time and through boxes at that. Why not sell directly through cash shop like vana, rideword or immune shield? The game feels too much pay to win nowadays.

I recommended making these thing attainable via an RNG box that could be acquired via a VIP daily questing system.

 

If that happens or not is a mystery. It was also a more feasible option about 2 care packages ago, but as things are being added with such horrific varieties of derp, well it makes it harder.

Usernamedenied, i think OCPs are not that needed to enjoy RO.  i enjoyed many years of RO not using any items from box. then i got HBP after 3 years, and is my first expensive gear that time :). it was a good addition to my gears. based on my experience and helped me a lot on leveling. OCP gears are not necessary to level up and maybe survive RO, but it is important if you want an easy life in RO.

 

up to now, my friends and I are enjoying farming and hunting bosses together even if we lose many experiences. but it is fun. we are still looking forward to get those almost godly OCP gears so we are greeding low TI and farming cards to reach that goal.

 

just my thought :)

 

 

on the topic: introducing the OCP gears to Cash Shop is not a good idea, i think. if you look at the items on Cash Shops, they are not superior. some litems ike Vanargand and Immune Shield that require good upgrades. still if you have those item, it wont be a significant game changer. the OCP gears are game changer. and if it should be Cash Shop item, might as well FAW, HBP and others be on the list. but OCP will demand very high price. 1000USD :))) or maybe 500USD or less, i have no idea? . which will still make its value in game very expensive. the items are expensive not only because they are limited, but because they are really good too.  many people gamble (if it is the right term) 100USD or maybe more just to get one item (less if they are really lucky). so i think the price is right. i agree with you though. ahaha. its rarity increased the prices soooo high. but if it is hard to afford, let us make use of other items :))

This is literally how static the game has become; and part of it is how punishing certain aspects of the game are. Dynamic games always have longer lives.

Gears are OK in my opinion ( Directly on the cash shop is better ...),the problem is costumes.

 

Why we need to waste 924498248928942 KP or zenies to get 1 cool piece of costume.

 

Like,there are a lot of costumes for 200m+,some costumes are more expensive than some MVP cards (and i'm not even talking about event costumes),this is really dumb.

There is no alternation and ceiling price for those limited-time offer.
Until more OP things release at same slot hahaha
They do sell those in cash shop but not the same price for everyone.
Depended on your luck it's cost different for everyone.

I just want RO to be affordable or accessible to most people. These gears doesn't need to cost hundreds of dollars to obtain.

Actually I don't agree to put a set price for those things in cash shop.
Personally pref they don't exist at all but it's too late. So if they do have to exist....good work for gravity warping up P2W in a delicate gambling

The game use to put out over powered gear in a lucky/groovy box(faw, hbp, slotted black frame glasses, slotted black devil mask as an example). The price would be high for a while and then a few months later they would put those OP items in another groovy/lucky box so other people could get it. Lately it feels like you really need to get the stuff the first time because you don't know if they will ever bring it back. Some of the newer gears haven't come back out in a 2nd box. Even some of the in game gear doesn't come back.  Examples are stuff like the Unfrozen Shadow Set, Heartwing Hairband, Midgard Serpent, Autumn Headband. Some of this stuff makes a pretty big difference for a class. Like the Genetic class with Cylinder Hairband. If you didn't get the Cylinder Hairband with the last box and they wait more than a year to reissue it, don't expect to get it at a reasonable price. Yeah you don't need the Cylinder Hairband but a player without it will be at a significant disadvantage against a genetic with one for sure.

Buying it for 1b+ or spending the same equivalent WPE to get it... I honestly don't know which is better. People have extremely terrible luck with Heartwing Hairband hence the price.

 

Don't worry about cylinder hairband, just get the bio5 one when its out  :heh: . But for now, just go bombing, cost more but still a faster way to kill high vit MvP.

would've been better if they called it "gotcha"... 'cause it really is a trap lmao.

totally agreed. not to mention the dmg boost.. yum! people will still want cyl even when old midas makes an appearance although the kids who can already achieve instacast through gods or stat foods will more likely be in favor of midas.

i can get there w/ stat foods but i'd still use both. situational pros /gg

people will still use cylinder since old midas whisper is:

- account bound (self explanatory, i know some people who has 999 account filled by 12 gene each)

- has level usage of 170 (TI farmer will still use cyl)

- doesnt have CC instacast (well, it is not really necessary since at the time you are able to use old midas, your stats makes CC almost insta)
