I’m worry how the game is keeping down, but it just ■■■■ Nexon.
Developer Department just saved the game with recent system change, while Marketing Department can’t wait and start to cash-milking the game by damaging its sustainability.
The more power gap created by money/time, the more content monopoly will happened, the more pressure on the game environment with drama fight (either you win or lose, nobody will recognize you sincerely, if lose with high end equipment you get humiliation, if won with high end equipment you get labelled as P2W, hence endless hatred/fight will happen), and players frustration. Those prolly 95% doesn’t spend ‘enough’ will eventually keep away from competitive content like GvG/TBL and avoid to be humiliated by 1-Hit-KO, at the end do these whales still enjoy the game without peoples subscribe their elitism and egoistic? Do the rest of players enjoy the stress from shouting channels?
Anyway, I would like to talk about this Practo Orange 315 Recipe.
I wouldn’t talk anything if 315 Purple/Orange are designed and implemented correctly.
But the implementation is just bad start from Recipe, Practonium, and DPK Mats (now even worse version of channel sharing top-down-DPK).
It is a triple walls of frustration and not enjoyment.
First Wall - Recipe
What the heck you designed different weapon cardboard cubes but at the end they yield random weapon recipe?
Second Wall - Practonium
Although this is easiest by leveling straight to 317 (with a lot of events and items), but Mystical Box just a bad design. And encouraging players to create multiple dust collectors alts is not quality.
Third Wall - DPK Mats
It was doable in old time 450-550 DPK just that it also incredibly easily interrupted.
And now, dpk count share across channel was way frustrated. not mention if generated close to 1100 DPK is hell to do.
WORST THING, YOU KEEP BELIEVING IT WILL DROP ON YOUR 1100th KILL COUNT after 4-HOURS, BUT IN FACT IT WAS TAKEN BY OTHERS IN OTHER CHANNEL.
The difficulty of different weapons also different. I would be fine if Mats is on the level Heart of Glory / Emengard Pike level, with 50+ low % drop and 15+ DPK items. But for Wingshard Spear and Skull Smasher, it getting tedious with total of 70+ DPK items, now Black Horns (Rapier) also joining the Kugheri Horn competition, and not mention the Abdochar need 40+ of it. wow, just mind blowing, kugheri horn is skyrocketting and incredibly difficult to farm with the channel sharing dpk.
You created triple walls of frustration with low quality contents, then you ask players pay to skip it. Well, just frustration
