About Me
Long time MMOer. Member of Rispetto. Pink Day Nao planner.
I got one, and I was hoping for something like the natural dye vendor that's part of some events. Instead what we got are fixed colors that aren't even very special. Let me show you. Here is an example I got for the instrument one;
The 'selection' of colors is extremely limited, and repeated a lot. You select the shade of color, and then have to take whatever palette of that color they decide to give you. You can not pick out your own rgb or hex codes. This makes it extremely limited. Save your money when it comes to this one. Not certain if the others are similar but it is insulting when you see DIY "but we pick the colors".
I will repeat again. It is 2022. Why is there such a resistance to players dying their equipment the colors that they want? Some equipment isn't dyeable even though it has colors, others aren't dyeable period. And for as many different kinds of dye there are, you really can only get the EXACT color for regular or metal colors when Nexon decides to bring back the natural dye vendor.
Seriously Nexon, you want money. Let us make the colors we want for our favorite gear. Instead of pretending and going "Oh here's $2 for a blue, you want blue right?"
Something fishy is going on with the drops for the Prize Tickets for this anniversary event. I believe it has likely happened for the last few but I didn't have any proof. Now I have some proof and I would like Nexon to investigate. I am on Nao and as of this post it is 12:31 pm on 4/7/2022.
Since this is the last week for the event I do not expect there to be prompt investigation but it needs to be investigated none the less, because it may be affecting much of Mabinogi.
So after maintenance I logged into game, 2 minutes after noon. When I got to the prize machine all 15/15 for the 1st prize, and 40/40 of the 2nd prize had already been used. This has happened all four weeks. This was odd, but I used my tickets. It took me 17 minutes to use all 135 tickets (done it nearly every day) and had missed out on the 1st and 2nd prize entries for previous weeks.
Do you know what I got with 135 tickets?
106 Instant Prize Gift Boxes
22 Festival Cotton Candy
2 - 300k gold boxes
and the remainder as AP potions.
Now that to me is interesting. 135 tickets that took 17 minutes to get (might not be the fastest on the server but pretty effecient)
So for not a lot of rewards that took 17 minutes, and yet the 1st and 2nd rewards were gone in 2 minutes. Yeah I call hacks.
Does this mean that some people are being allowed onto the server early and thus rewarded by having exclusive access, thereby denying the regular player base? I've noticed that some people who win in the twitch previews seem to win again and again. So what gives Nexon? I'm not handing out torches and pitchforks yet, but this seriously needs to be investigated.
It would be different if I had gotten say 30, 30k gold boxes, or something higher quality with the 135 tickets. But for me to save nearly a perfect set of tickets and get garbage while someone else is that 'lucky' to win em all in 2 minutes? Well I'm pretty sure if I talked to a Statstician they'd ask to see the numbers cause someone was cheating.
How can someone have won all the 1st and 2nd prizes within 2 minutes of the server coming online when I get robbed. Now I'll be the first to admit that I'm not that lucky. Quite terrible actually, but for them to be all 'gone' within 2 minutes of the server maintenance being ended? That is just not cool.
If this were the stock market I would accuse someone of inside trading. If it were international trade I would accuse of collusion. If it were a banking aspect I would accuse of favoritism and manipulation of fair banking practices. This is a game, and I realize that. But cheating is cheating. You can justify it however you want to justify it.
I am asking Nexon for a formal investigation of this aspect of the festival, possibly drop rates in general. It would seem that someone is 'manipulating' the drops. I do not know if this is someone hacking or assisted by a nexon employee, but in the interest of fairness, it needs to be addressed and the information needs to be made public.
Otherwise, how can the player base trust that any event, any gacha, that any loot obtained in game is not being purposely manipulated by hackers, or those close to developers? I will not accuse anyone at this point. I want answers, and I think others would as well. Please be transparent and disclose the information. Thank you.
Terrible drop rates for the summons. Ran 2 shadow missions and 2 dungeons at a fairly decent level and bupkiss. If we're expected to run these with 8 full people just so 1 person can get it, then let us know. Treating it like "oh it's easy to get" really annoys me. Not everyone has 10+ hours of play a day to participate in an event.
In the world of Mabinogi some quests are rewarded when you reach certain levels, and some are even added when you create brand new characters. I understand giving characters things to do. But some of the quests, characters can't possibly clear said quests when they're given them. Like "A reflective reception" or "Sorrow" being given. Please allow us to remove said quests and 'accept' them from NPCs at a later time. Many times my quest log is full not because of things I want to do, but because I can't remove them unless they're complete.
Could you explain why quests I can't complete are added to my quest log? There is no reason most quests should be auto given and unable to be removed until completed. Like the quest for exploration mastery. I already have exploration mastery, and there's no way of giving up the quest. Which means it's stuck in my quest log until I complete it. Starter quests as well. They award skills that characters may already have.
The quest system needs to be updated. And primarily allow characters to clear their quest log and 'accept' quests at a later time.
Oh Hymerark, God of Freedom. Let me change races whenever I want. Amen.
<Aton Cimeni the Great>"Oh hi there, sorry, after Shakespeare broke the mechanics abusing the system (and being a total troll) that feature was removed. Technically it existed as a rare 'case by case' basis, but after the whole Kristell incident...we thought it was best to just not approve such requests anymore...Peace out!"
