Well, some people may be overloaded with Eden Merit Badges they don't know what to do with that they can turn into Reset Stones...

I'm just sayin'... I don't know who's buying Reset Stones from the Kafra Shop for this.

True but it's not about the buying part.
It's about the constant turn ins with reset stones part.

Turn-ins are ridiculously easy and great experience... knowing that it takes one reset stone to go at it again right after I finish one.. well that's something even I wouldn't want to pass up.
It's nice but almost too much. You could do turn ins all day if you're not using EMB's for KVM badges instead and have hundreds of EMB's saved up.
Or just buy reset stones and use your EMB stash for KVM badges... O'lawdy lawdy.

I just bought over 500$ in reset stones because of this gramps reset thing... Hopefully they don't remove it :/

Ah what the f-ck?

Well... yeah... cool beans for you.


However, unless they can come up with a clear and creative way to help generate income, expect more.

Rather then just saying it's the wrong idea, lets focus more on what would get you to spend $10, $20 or $30 on the game at a time?

I do feel that the solution to the revenue may be in small bursts rather than it being based on huge down payments.

This just means Ymir's 150 population will eventually be 60% Arch bishops.

Bump that to 75% and it would make sense.

Seriously, Turn-in quests are like the only fun part of PvM these days. I don't mind if people spend all day doing them. It just means more people to party with.

Goodbye grinding, hello players that buy their way to 150/50. Guess they had to find a way to compete with bots selling max level accounts!

My complain is that this wasn't mentioned anywhere and I only found out about it on saturday xDD

I didn't even intend to level above 130 but this just looked to good after I realised thors turn ins ARE DOUBLE EXP (another thing I only realised by myself after I got almost a level instead of my calculated half..) even though it was said that turn ins would intentionally be normal EXP regardless of exp events.
And the hundred badges started collecting dust weeks ago so, I liek.

On the other hand.
Being repeatable AND double exp, the turn ins are too good.
The Reset stone for it is ok, unless it wasnt as good as this weeks.

I would suggest either
-making the (non double event times) turn ins either need half more kills and give half better reward, or have the timer shortened to something that would make them doable twice a day (like 10 hours?)
-buffing what the reset stone does, if the timer erasing option stays (I wouldnt use a single reset stone to repeat one of those usual crap turn ins no one wants to do even once per day, like rachel sanctuary lol..)

Uhm, I thought the turn ins weren't double exp? I saw it on one of the forum patch logs.

Honestly without the turn-in I probably wouldn't be playing this game. I've seen how slow the grinding is it gives me terrible flashbacks of 99'ing on turtle island way back and then bio labs/magma 1 for my ascended GX.

With the turn-in I actually can log on and accomplish something in an hour or less. I understand why people 'hate' it but really MMO's have changed and I'm glad Ragnarok has attempted to drop the huge grind thing. Theres lots of fun things that I was always too burnt out to do after getting 99 that I want to do at 150.

Like for example I dont want to WoE until 150 I dont want to MvP until 150 and then once I 150 my main I can for once level my alts and experience other classes like I never have before.

It's great really..

Edit: Just to add I saw this like Wednesday/Thursday and originally thought it had always been there when I scrolled down. It wasn't until later I realized it was new. As a returning player I've only used it once to test it.

I like this. It means more guild parties. Every time I ask my guildmates if they wanna do TI parties I get either "I already did it", or "no VIP".

I'm surprised there is anyone upset at the "paying part" of this.. You can spend Eden merit Badges to get Reset Stones, or get free from the Spooky Machine, or from other player vends.

I don't think anyone would ever need to buy them from the kafra shop unless they wanted to go really crazy with it one day. The price to reset may change one day, or the EBM turnin rate may change for reset stones, but not this week.

Sometimes I wish I could +1 you, Heim =)

Noone is forced to reset the timer.
Noone is forced to spend money on this.
I'm happy with one TI each day, I don't need more, and I'm still leveling very fast.
If you've so much need to level even more faster, than well... get Reset Stones, either with Zeny, Eden Merrit Badges or for KP. All three ways are fairly possible and doable... o.o
