    It also doesn't seem to be understood that "you do not need +10 armor to be good in PvP and the amount of stats and defence it gives is minimal at best".

    I can agree with the fact you don't need +10 but you can't say the amount of stats it gives is minimal, like how's over 150 bonus agi/lck from a perfect fort +10 dps set minimal ? It's a huge increase.

    Back to the Stones we go! Wondered how long it would be before the dust unsettled on this subject 😴.

    In terms of Stone availability there are over 1500% more being introduced into the game than previously. What more do you want us to do? We've said we will assess and our next step will now be to wipe stones pre-gear patches so players stop hoarding them and begin to sell them.

    There are more than enough stones to go around and trying to justify your needs towards our actions whilst blaming us for being "the winners" whilst YOU the playerbase hoard the stones is maniacal if I'm being honest.

    This is pretty much saying "well if we want Bash and Jordan to do anything, best bet is to just hoard everything till they make it easier" that much power leaves a bad taste and we won't let it happen.

    In the end if you have a problem with the network generating funds to support it's future, staff and current projects then that is your problem. No one ever has a problem supporting official servers with overpriced items, more pay gates and maximize their profits with greedy "events". Private Servers have changed it's no longer everything quick and easy, the idea of a Private Server is to create a different and cheaper experience and I think we've accomplished that here and have always done within the network. You players just want more and more and there has to be someone to say no and assess the right way and not because you want to get to point B and then create another "state" thread about getting to point C in the future.

    Whether this game makes a ton of money one month and little the next makes no difference. We all get a wage for doing this so it makes no difference by greedy motives, we just want to protect the longevity of the server.

    Do you even realize the people hoarding stones aren't the people who are currently complaining? Also i'll use this argument again but as someone who played on the french aeria server, the experience isn't cheaper here. But then again i'm not asking for that, nobody's asking for that, people are just asking for a better experience than what it actually is and yet you refuse to listen, you refuse to even consider the remote possibility of making things better. Instead you keep on blaming us the players, yet you're saying you want to protect the longevity of the server ? Big doubts on that currently, don't think any game staff blaming the player base ever helped anywhere.

  3. People will keep buying no matter the price and the staff doesn't want to do anything to make VSS available for free so F2P players will just end up getting fucked harder. Your greed will just end the server sooner rather than later at this pace, giving free access to +6 wouldn't even hurt your income that much yet it wasn't even listed among your propositions to fix the safety stones issue.

    We've intervened with a lot of player concerns

    You're not doing much for one of the biggest concerns among F2P players. And like SenorBernd said you're trying to wind yourself out a little easy. Players won't find a medium because spenders hold most of the stones supply and they couldn't care less about others wanting cheaper stuff since they know there are no alternatives for safety stones.

     

  4. Yes there are viridians stones in circulation now but i'd say it's mostly due to the fact there were basically none in circulation before this altar. People are more or less forced to take them because it's the best way they have to uncap their new gear if they didn't hoard stones beforehand. Price went down though (i think?), i'll give you that.

    About the huge amount of stones used it's probably due to all the hoarders uncapping their new gear. Unless you meant regular viridians specifically.

  5. I really hope this x1 regular viridian in the altar is a bad joke or a one time blunder because i really fail to see how it is going to help the current situation. Lv 70 chisels are on the row above and regular safety stones x2 are available higher up, not mentionning the ULSS/CLSS x2 too.

    I know you're trying to make money off this thing but this "solution" won't work if the only stones we're going to get on lower rows are regular x1 stones, might aswell go for stones wipe right now if this is the best you can offer.

    I ran the numbers, there's absolutely no fucking way a free player can compete in this environment, free players make like $1-$2 per day doing everything they possibly can. By then the next cap will probably out and free players would have to start from scratch.

    A free player can compete if they're playing a lot, more casual players can't though, yes. Best bet for casual players at this point is probably to pour everything they have into awakened gear and that means hoarding stones until they're out

    You cannot expect us to ever take note of other's actions. Every server is of it's own direction and just because x, y and z done a, b or c does not mean we should ever follow suit.

    If we should follow suit should we go to the rate of prices Aeria and FR offered? In the end you get more for your money and that's something you (and many others) seem to forget when you have tunnel vision.

    What Jordan said wasn't 100% right that's all.

    And to answer your question, as someone who won't spend hundreds of $ weekly i couldn't care less what your rate of prices becomes if that means we get easy alpaca stones.
    Coming back to the main subject though, pretty sure most non-hardcore/non-spenders would have a complaint or two about safety stones right now if you asked them, maybe it's time to start addressing the issue ?
    Like Alicia said i think +6 is a minimum, so it should be easily affordable by any regular player, yet only LSS are available right now, so you just need to get unlucky and who knows how much you'll spend on a single +6. I really don't think it's that hard nor gamebreaking to release 50% or 75% viridian stones ? That or you could juste make regular viridians (NT) available in alpaca capsules at a better rate than what it is now. A combination of both could work too.

    Now I'm not sure why +6 has to be free as it certainly wasn't on Aeria or FNO for that matter and was as cheap as it is here.

    It actually was basically free on the FR server, you could even go up to +10 for free with enough grind. Seeing the SS rate in alpaca capsules here, +6 here is probably the same grind as it was to get +10 there

    Obviously not asking for the same here, would be dumb, but i doubt making +6 accessible for free would be a bad thing. Viridians would still be bought by all the loaded people out there and you could release halcyon viridians in altar if you really want people to buy +6 stones.
