Are Saalus Convent missions supposed to be a joke?

Gameplay Feedback General Feedback
#1

For those who don’t know, Saalus convent missions are a new type of mission you unlock at level 240. You get two runs per day for those.

Specifics :
-one random mission among 3, where you have to kill a bunch of mobs and bosses
-bosses are quite overpowered so you can expect to die a couple times per try at least
-mobs and bosses drop 0 silver, 0 exp
-last boss drops a cube with approx 99% talt and 1% good recipes.
-cube reroll is 200k.

And for the final touch : these recipes are untradable. So if you’re lucky enough to loot something, it will most likely not be for your character anyway.

For example, the monk in my party just dropped this :

Well that monk is gonna shoot bolts from now one I guess.

IMC, are you trying to artificially expand your game’s life span ? Cause it sure feels like it.

Suggestions from replies :

  • Implement a trading system through a NPC, where you can get another recipe that fits your character better by trading one you already looted (earth tower-style).
  • Get the bosses to drop some silver/exp.

Look’s like the game gets quite ridiculous at higher levels.

Yes saalis is one of the most unrewarding experiences I’ve had in any mmo. I’ve been running every day since i hit 240 and haven’t got anything, not even a single digit of xp. That said, it is quite challenging and fun.

#6

Yes, please let us be able to swap with our party members…

#7

There really needs to be some kind of temporary party trade for these untradable drops in party. This content should be rewarding and would currently only be frustrating to participate in with lack of reward.

Also, please throw some silver / exp in for these bosses.

OP updated with suggestions.
I feel like the trading system should extend to the 240 dungeon too, the virtov sets are sweet but you might end up with something you don’t want nor can trade.

To be honest, I’d like to know the reasoning behind that, if that’s an actual game design decision, or just a way to slow down players.

#9

They should atleast give a nice EXP buff to saalus convent, so that your mission is not a complete waste of time? =p I’m fine with the items being untradable, but not being rewarded with anything at all is not cool.

#10

They should just make untradable items tradable in team storage at least.

This would include premium items as well.

#11

No guys actualy you wrong. Its final gear. And if we did this tradeble, It will be too easy to receive it. In game there has to be a difficulty element for all. Otherwise donater will buy up everything

#12

Right, “final gear” should be obtainable through a 1% thing with 2 tries per day (6 maximum for 800 000 spent), which favorizes lucky people over the invested ones, and with no chance to switch items if one doesn’t fit you. Talk about “difficulty element for all” :wink:
That’s some genius game design right here, you should apply for a job at IMC Games, you’d probably see eye to eye.

The hell, it really doesn’t give exp? So what’s the point wasting your time on running it? The drop rate is way too low.

#14

You spend time running it because it gives the best weapons in the game for a few classes.

The neck that drops from there is also pretty amazing. http://www.tosbase.com/database/items/584105/

Lot lot cheaper than max petamion and trading 1 all stats for more mdef isn’t bad.

“Lot lot cheaper than max petamion”
Yeah if you think having to drop a ~1% recipe on a 200k-reroll cube with 2 cubes/day on an unresettable mission is free, then terrallion is indeed cheaper.
But if you actually think for a bit, it’s not by a large margin.

#16

Okay, but at least post a solution to address how one gets stuck with useless recipes? I hate it when people always argue for one side but fail to consider the other and simply leave it hanging.

#17

That wasn’t the question I was responding to, it was intended as a reply to Skorgana

#18

This one really cracked me up :laughing:
But yeah seriously, these recipes need to be tradable !!

#19

if I was the op I’d cry tbh

#20

Oh holy RNGesus, dark lord Lootcifer, please bless me with your divine luck like you did when i got my Petaminion from my first cube
