Let’s call Aden release what it really is. You can not play this game for free. I have played Every version of this game all the way back to Beta and this is by far this biggest money grab out of all of them. With the end of the free 20 buff scrolls and the whole grace system there isn’t a class in this game that can hunt mobs the same level as they are without using ss/bsps. SS in Classic and Live were for lvlng faster but were not a requirement to hunt white mobs, in Aden as a dagger I wouldn’t even be able to hunt mobs 20 lvls lower without ss. Not to mention that I have 2 quests I can’t even do because although the mobs are 2 levels lower than I am, even with atk/def scrolls, ss, selfbuffs, clan buffs, healing potions etc.
Oh, but Infidel you don’t have good enough gear that’s why. No it’s not, I have a +9 bgrade dagger and +6 bgrade armor my accessories are all epic, all my jewels +3, agathon’s +6, talismans +4, I could go on. I went to DV to start the new quest and had to bsoe out after the 3rd mob these are mobs that are white!!! My dex atm is 38 con 43 and str 37 there is absolutely no reason I shouldn’t be ripping this place a part yet somehow I get hit like I’m some big fat meat pie of an orc and not the super stealthy, faster than lightning, amazingly gorgeous, le that I am.
Moreover, you said Aden was supposed to be a solo game yet If I don’t join a clan and do raids daily I’ll have to spend over 500 bux a month just to buy magic tablets, materials, armor, weapons all so I can’t hunt white mobs and have a chance at getting a drop that is something I can actually use. Oh and explain to me why I have to pay 300k for a freaking 20% chance at crafting a freaking nightmare robe I can’t even sell or crystallize?
We’ve waited and waited for the release of L3 for over 8 years and you give us the same old crap over and over and we’ve taken it year after year hoping, might I say praying that NCSOFT will get it right. You want a blueprint on how to make a F2P game look at Tera, and other games like it that is a F2P game this is an absolute joke and in 6 months when the only people playing this game are whales and farmers who break your precious TOS you will only have yourselves to blame. I would gladly go back to paying 14 bux a month if it would mean you actually developed and produced a new product instead of regurgitating the same old crap year in and year out. I mean do you guys even have a creative department or are you just employing in game commerce people ?? Both events so far actually cost more money to participate in than any rewards given. Is this a product you’re proud of? I mean seriously, when you tell people you develop this game do you have to lower your head in shame?
