Hello @Juji,
I would like to give you some feedback from the latest update you threw at your player base.
On today's bank account feedback, I have spend a total amount of approximately 20.000€ for the game during a 2 and a half year interval, which gives us approximately 800€/month.
Those reading this can already keep their judgment aside. The goal is to make a clear statement that people cannot play this game at a decent amount of level at a certain point without spending a reasonable amount of money and to highlight that the game becomes more and more difficult while attracting less and less people.
What happened until now on my Yul 119:
- Hot Springs, mobs are 1 hit in 1 AOE. Adena is "okay".
- Dragon Valley, was before already difficult, now impossible.
- Valley of Saints, mobs are 1 hit in AOE. Adena is "okay".
- Beast Farm requires a whole party of similar geared people like me.
- Fafurion, impossible now, before the update I was barely doing okay.
- TOI 5 (45b) I had to downgrade to TOI 4 and I make 30b (1/3) less Adena less than before.
- IOS did not change for me. But my Eviscerator 113 has definitely seen a difficulty in 107 IOS, my Tyr 111 dies now there. Which leads to an increase of difficulty in the mobs. Same for the Tyrr in Primeval Isle.
- Atelia Refinery (green area), I do approximately 10b while having Tank+ISS, because healer is 110 and cannot join the puppies. I find it rather difficult to hunt there despite the gear.
- Crisis rates have been touched, I see a slight decrease in boxes on lower toons compared to before, probably to an increase of stats.
- Good things are the Enchant Hunting zone which are appreciated by 3 people parties.
- Tanor now gives decent amount of XP in a 3 people party which should improve XP gap from 107 to 112 if your group is mid-gear.
- After 2 years, my Eviscerator 113 went from Aligator > Field of Silence > Field of Whisper > Sel Mahum. And each update it had to go back to the previous zone because monsters got boosted. The toon is literally running Prestige & Destiny Pack only and 0 event boxes have been purchased on it. Close to Free 2 Play, and it still makes between each big update 1-2 lvls only. Until maybe one day it reaches 120.
- I had to include a secondary ISS & a healer into my initial party to keep the pace.
While I find it understandable that the game is not "free" in order to see new content, I find it rather a bit problematic that people have to spend a considerable amount of money to even get close to what they were doing before the update.
Another problem, feedback about Tyrr, Evis nerf is 100% not accurate to what our region has. While I understand that people were happy making Stage 2/3 weapons, the nerf would have balanced things on OUR servers in the PVP area. As they say "join the winning team"...
Could you provide decent event boxes for your player base? Because right now, all other regions are far more geared for the same game content and some of them have spend far less money than we do here. Balance your prices, it might bring more people or keep those you have now.
I hope you'll see some understanding that your player base is not happy with the Quality of Life the update provided.
