AxlWolfang Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 So, new update was fun while it lasted (cof cof the op fame quest for leveling classes before the hard nerfs cof) But we are back to farming the same ways as before, Palace for gold, DSR runs for exp and gold. It is true that the new maps' farming system was way too op and that some were using bots to abuse this. The idea of items to turn in instead of picking up quests was brilliant and i congratulate Jordan for it... That being said, id like to suggest a similar system for dungeons to prevent bots from abusing open map farming. Introduce some kind of fame quest that requires an item dropped by dungeon monsters similar to what open map monsters drop with rewards similar to the new fame quests before the nerf (Slightly higher maybe considering the limited number of access and luck with drop rates) The idea would be to bring a new farming method that can compete with palace and DSR which are way more worth doing than the new dungeons.

EXP/CP same as new maps before nerf. Gold 35g instead of 42g. After nerf all Staff job become useless cause only good thing there is PoD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VGN GM Jordan Posted March 9, 2020 VGN GM Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 Unless I'm missing the point but if people farm dungeons for gold? Isn't this just putting more gold in their pockets? This just hurts the games economy more since handing out more gold means people have more gold to spend and means they will burn more on items in attempts to out bid others. So unless I'm missing something here then it doesn't really sound like a good suggestion to be honest. Especially since we've already given a plethora of amount of methods to grinding gold. People are upset about the changes made to the new map hand ins but it doesn't make it a bad method at all and often times you'll find that most people will be podding somewhere in the 3rd map and getting basically free gold for preping for TW/GVG etc. So it may not be huge amounts but every income counts unless your character is maxed right? As for Infecttado's suggestion although this would be a very welcomed addition its also just guna hit the above problem. We need to stop adding overpowered gold methods as we're just making the game harder for the newer players to catch up. Palace is good and easy gold and if its too hard the repeatables in the new maps are good enough and will help them catch their classes up to 110+. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlWolfang Posted March 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 What i meant was to introduce a different way of farming gold/exp since Palace and DSR have been there for quite some time as the best ways of farming gold/exp respectively. It was just an idea to bring something new to the everyday farming method of farming palace and pay someone else to level up your classes in DSR since now DSR is almost a joke with BK.

VGN GM Jordan Posted March 9, 2020 VGN GM Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 Yeh but like I said in my response isn't this just going to make Palace give more gold since I presume by dungeon you mean all regualar dungeons which would include Palace wouldn't it? However, I think regardless this would be a negative impact because monsters only tend to drop 1 item in most cases and say if a weapon it drops is worth 1g that would mean you'd have to drop 1g worth of items to make up it since when you add a monster drop to the monster then that will have a chance to drop just like the weapon that would have dropped. So even if you did make gold you'd likley earn less gold or only slightly more, not to mention these items would take up bag space. I don't know to be honest. I think this could maybe have a place in trials or something but I still would rather it be used as say a crafting material for a gear or something and not just to give more gold.

AxlWolfang Posted March 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 Ok, no gold but what about instead of selling that item it is used to gain a chunk of exp/CP (both or just one depending on choice and ammount) or EXP/CP/Mov spd/Loot drop buffs? The thing of adding it to a dungeon was to put a limit of 12 entries per day to prevent abuse. Of course this is just a loose idea that needs to be adapted with drop rates, how much they will reward and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and no, i meant the new dungeons from the last 3 new maps which i found a bit overshadowed by how eficient it is to farm Palace. I didnt mean to buff all dungeons just the new ones to add a reason to do those besides getting those new trophies to upgrade.

I didnt mean to buff all dungeons just the new ones to add a reason to do those besides getting those new trophies to upgrade. I forgot to answer this part haha Ahh I see. To be honest though dungeons in which people farm gold in are not decided by me but rather by the community and also by the maps design. Like for example: Viroona City Ruins I tried to make this a new gold farming map, gave it some nice drops added lots of monsters and yet Shaxian Fae Fields was still chosen by players to run because of the map design in part. Easier to run around a big circle killing things than back and fourth on sticky out bits right? Then as for Crystal Utopian Realm (Shaxian Remade). This dungeon was suppose to be a copy and paste answer to allow a more up-to-date farming location. But again, map design (also drop choices) made Palace better. This was also bearing in mind that you usually lost 2-4 runs of Palace every day before the client optimizations where made due to Alpaca crashing. Something that wasn't present in Crystal Utopian Realm (Except 2 bugged bosses that where fixed promptly). So all I can say is unless I nerf Palace this will just be injecting too much gold in the econmy if it becomes worth it. Adding EXP and CP stuff might be ok but the amount of work that goes into doing this is roughly the same amount of work as it would be to add new content dungeons for players to enjoy. So as you can see why I would rather opt for more new content than buffing some small quest dungeons. Usually when things like Awaken Armors or Awaken Weapons are made I make use of some of these under utilized locations for quests so people have to go back and relive them so I'm not too concerned if at the current state they're run for just trophys and quests as in future there will be other reasons to come back. Besides although flamed the map varients of these quests are still hella nice for people who are of a lower level for leveling character and classes. So I'm not to sure this is needed. Maybe if you have any ideas we could add some sort of daily farm to these dungeons or a very nice daily quest but I'd rather stay away from gold, EXP and CP for the moment.

I agree don't need OP gold methods, i've been out of dng rush for like 2 years and have many ways to get 30k daily without moving map or something like that, just need patience and knowledge. I just agree with some stuff , cause i see 90% of active playing going to other games/servers. Just wanted to have other ways to level up classes, u literaly droped from 158m to 30m so thats like lower enough to be useless, putting 50% of main exp/cp was ok, anyway, i don't wanna discut about it its worth talk about broken things. U have saw already , brazilian community is too lazy to do everything, but they are my community then i wanted then ingame,but most of then quitting cause alot of gold needed to do stuff and they aren't able to farm it cause L A Z Y. But add DSR suggestion, isn't easy to farm and u can have a infinity farm of it. make sure Dragonside Soul (idk if that's name, fame ico item that's easy drop) don't get deliver cause it too easy to farm, or make it x100 for the same reward as others.

Thats ridiculous. Yeh it might not be the biggest skill in the world to be able to run DSR especially with how BK is right now but its completely made redundant if you can level a character/class in the same time or even faster just by running around 2 hitting quest mobs. Right now it still gives multiple % but to those who need it. Those who are just starting out and cannot afford to buy runs and don't have the connections for an affordable / good quality run. I'd appreciate it if you stop calling it useless because its not useless for everyone, you always have to remember there is players who aren't in top guilds or who are quiet people who don't chat often and struggle to find partys for things. Stuff like this are perfect for them as they get to keep to themselves and not have to deal with the day to day drama of being within the inner circles of the game. People will always leave for other games and servers as this game is very old. New games are always going to be taking our playerbase away. Other servers on the other hand are just honeymoon phases that people love to start new on. Once they realise that the new server is incomplete or has very little power to change much of the game and you realise its just an Aeria/FNO clone they always come back, just like last time? We've been running for almost 5 years now, most private servers run on a 1-3 year limit and last year saw some of our highest moments of the servers entire existance. I wouldn't chalk things down to Brazilian's are lazy because not all of them are. I know plenty people from the English community and Spanish community that are also lazy and people who are hard working it just depends on the player. I made some tables for each of the new maps quests to show you the numbers really aren't that bad... I know they could be better but without harming the market for DSR running and dungeon grinding these numbers are perfectly fine. Note: The tables show the Hand in count required on a per level basis, it also shows how much gold you would earn if you did complete this in gold. I did two formats for the table. Standard format on a level by level basis and Grinding format that goes from the starting level to a specified ending level.

I honestly don't see any point in adding a "farming quest" to a dungeon, but, the thing I liked about this post is the CP/XP stuff. There are a lot of people who is still gearing their character that runs palace everyday, with BA/Mecha or whatever they use to run "capped" on exp by their current level while all other awaken classes are level 85 or not even 85. (I know some people in that situation, where they can't buy runs because they're spending the gold they get on palace awakening new sets so almost all their classes are still sitting on 85) So I think it would be nice to those players if you lower CP from killing palace mobs, but give a rep quest to kill all 3 palace bosses and add the ammount of cp you lowered from mobs to this quest. This way they can farm the gold with a class built to run and still get the CP in other classes. But don't add any gold to those quests. People who are getting a lot of gold from territory/GGB are already inflationating VGN price from 500k to 700k and some are even paying 750k, as you said increasing gold only ruins the economy so we should be thinking about how to remove gold from people who is getting a lot with low effeort instead of increasing the ammount of gold people get, this way economy might get better for people who can't farm alot.

This way they can farm the gold with a class built to run and still get the CP in other classes. But don't add any gold to those quests. People who are getting a lot of gold from territory/GGB are already inflationating VGN price from 500k to 700k and some are even paying 750k, as you said increasing gold only ruins the economy so we should be thinking about how to remove gold from people who is getting a lot with low effeort instead of increasing the ammount of gold people get, this way economy might get better for people who can't farm alot. Not a terrible idea, might be better to just add something like a mail based reward for killing the last boss or something or 1 for each boss then have a hand in quest somewhere that trades for CP. You could do it for all 0/10's too not just Palace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But since I think it would be to much job, u should just add from palace or higher level dungeons since people don't do lower levels than that for gold, maybe DK. (well people farm all from Viroona but just for awaken sets drop) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
