How would you rebuild Mabinogi (Hypothetically)

Huw — Sat, 24 Jun 2017 04:05:58 +0000

This game is dying. A serve merge thread is created every 11 days and players complain in all 10 Decagon directions about the smallest details.
You murdered your ex girlfriend who was the height of a leprechaun and ironically was secretly hiding a fortune. (No rainbows today sadly ladies and gentlemen). You just bought the rights of the game from DevCat and now you can bully Nexon around. How would you rebuild this game? Some of these examples below would take a large productive team, resources and money...but this game is unique and I would hate to see the population decline even further.

- New engine? Fix how much memory and processing power due to bad coding design, mabinogi takes up?

- New Graphics? 32-bit client retains our current design, but 64-bit yields something more amazing?

- PvP System Revamp? Self-explanatory

- PvP Battle Arenas? Daily quests that reward players in solo queues and/or tag teams for participating and extra rewards for winning?

- Outdated content Revamp? Renes mini-game, Uladh Field bosses such as Neid (Iria bosses seem to still be active during weekends so not really an issue), Forest Purification, Jousting (Going to stop here for now)

- Active GM's (Game Masters)? These trusted employees can be on the look out in populated areas for harassment issues (releases stress on customer service tickets) and sudden gold bots whom they can swipe the ban-hammer on instantly. They can even provide in-game weekly mysterious events on Saturdays to encourage more to jump on at the weekend. Soem of you guys have mentioned it's been months since the game has ever had a break from no events running actively...well, this one-time weekly event can replace that issue and give players a few weeks rest to avoid themselves becoming burnt out

- New additional Content? How often would you release content, including storylines and classes. Once every 6 months?

- Life Skills Revamp? Just gonna leave this one to the big guys...(It would be pretty cool to craft plat hammers that can be healthy for the economy and resolve the issue of items breaking because the hammers will be cheaper and in circulation)

- Bugs? Well of course you would try to patch bugs that have been on-going for years.

- Guild Revamp? A core aspect within the communities. Bring forth the encouragement

- Housing and Homesteads? Combine the two? That little tent that you can upgrade into a 4-story building that's only visually appealing...how about allowing us enter our home now? Common decorations can be purchased from a general store NPC such as Walter, while exclusive "pretty" household items can be purchased from a Homestead Gacha from time to time. Maybe even during a Christmas Gacha, release a cosy fireplace/interactive Christmas tree that exclusively allows in-game family members to place a tag on the tree with their name on it and their wish for the holiday/New Year for others to view. As for the housing, scrap the housing districts and guilds claiming them to increase the taxes heavily and instead allows us to sell items from our homestead houses instead. The housing ch will no longer eat up server resources as well. (Jesus I rambled on too much here)

- Fishing Minigame revamp? Sure, those of us who have work can simply afk and come back to a inventory filled with glorious tin pots, but those of us who want to earn the outfits and weapons are required to interact with the game with a fun mini-game that rewards us with a higher % at prizes. Maybe some of us can make a living catch rosemary patterns. Additionally, would you revamp the possible item drop lists?

- Dungeons, Shadow Missions, Dragon Raids, Fighting Tournament and Commerce Revamp? Big one honestly. The new dungeon while interesting and new, have some rather tank HP bosses rather that new mechanics which is more of a dura-strain if anything more. Share your ideologies on this matter if you believe it needs work.

- New Continents? Uladh, Iria and 50% of Belvast. It's been so long. Would you lead us Milletians into the remaining half of Belvast, more specifically the heavily restricted Tory Ravine? Or perhaps it's time to set across the seas to undiscovered land.

- Skill Revamps? Go wild on this one...hoo boy (RIP Taunt for Giants)

- Taming Skill Changes (Sub-category under skill revamp)? This topic never really gets touched...what would you change about this skill given the chance? Hypnotizing the Succubus fiends in Rabbie Phant against their Queen to ease the burden of the dungeon for lesser-geared characters could be one idea?

- Skill uncaps? Skills including: Rest, First Aid, Campfire, Cooking, Mana Shield, Meditation, Evasion. They need a r1 version in my opinion. If they would become game breaking, couldn't we alter their effects across the higher ranks.

- Algorithms and Calculation changes? Issues not only with how often ranged attacks miss (because my elven wife mentions it on a daily basis) but unbalanced issues such as the mana shield damage reduction calculation and the game breaking tanking giants obtain when using vales shield, windguard and end-game armor. What issues are you aware of that you would fix instantly.

- Cashshop changes? Would you reduce current prices? Would you stop or continue gachapons? Earlier i mentioned housing in our homesteads, meaning VIP loses it's value. The daily spin drops need a revamp anyway, so what would you offer for VIP in replacement instead? What new items would you add if director of this game?

- Community improvement? Overall, how could we improve our community. Guilds and familys seems almost dead, and the rise in trolls, scammers and salty elves upon defeat in PVP due to latency as grown these past 2 years. Solutions?

- Anything I may have missed that you would improve also

TD;LR - Topic changes and what would you change if given the chance as director

- New engine
- New Graphics
- PvP System Revamp
- PvP Battle Arenas Revamp
- Outdated content Revamp
- Active GM's
- Additional Content
- Life Skills Revamp
- Fixing Bugs Priority
- Guild Revamp
- Housing and Homesteads
- Fishing Minigame revamp
- Dungeons/SM/Raids/Tourny/Commerce Revamp
- New Continents
- Skill Revamps
- Unused Skill Revamps (Taming, Taunt)
- Skill uncaps
- Algorithms and Calculation changes
- Cashshop changes
- Community improvement
Rank over. I'll head back to Emain and finish my recent marionette work.

Real Talk: The Gender Imbalance in Mabi

Rhey — Tue, 27 Jun 2017 17:21:45 +0000

>Identical (M) ver is waaaay less valued than its (F) counterparts most of the time.
>(M) are mostly horridly designed compare to its (F) counterparts.
>(M) don't have access to as much skirts/S-Shorts variety as (F) has to pants and L-shorts.
>(M) has less trading leverage than it's (F) counterparts.
>Wings compliments (F) clothing's better than (M) counterparts.
>If RNG/Gender-Locked outfit boxes isn't a factor people will mostly take (F) outfits over it's (M) precedents.
>Gacha(ING or Cash shop) boxes has lower rates for (F) outfits compared to it's (M) counterparts most of the time.
>People spend more money and effort chasing skirts for it's rarity+selling value rather than actually wearing em.
>(F) has more better exclusive outfits than (M) counterparts.

The list can go on but I'll stop here.

This saddens me wrote: »

ps. Yes I'm (a little) salty I got laughed out of a 1:1 (M)->(F) trade deal.

Ruairi is pronounced Rory

Crimsọn — Wed, 05 Jul 2017 12:29:27 +0000

I found it kind of funny during the the last stream how Saygo pronounced it Ru-Ai-Ri. =P

Origin of the name Rory:
Anglcized form of Ruairí (red, rust-colored). The name was born by Rory O'Conor, the last high king of Ireland, who reigned from 1166 - 1170.

So it is pronounced Ror-ee weeaboos. Kthx.

Race Change?!??

Owntrolf — Fri, 07 Jul 2017 05:41:38 +0000

The dream because humans feel like snails and dont have fancy trans skills like Fullswing or EMM

But it probably wont happen unless they find a way to disable race specific skills like Final hit/Stomp/WG etc

PSA: Rental weapons can be step 6

Rhey — Thu, 06 Jul 2017 18:44:22 +0000

Sheep Medal Grievance

Rhey — Fri, 30 Jun 2017 21:06:23 +0000

Me and my few alts ran it for 9 days consecutively and no sheep medals. My IRL hombres ran it across 20 alts and only obtain two medals. They're going for 1m ingame rite now and are starting to rise up to 2m. I didn't want to do this but...The event is ending in 5 days!!!

U FEEL ME!? wrote: »

P.s. I'm starting to get desperate so if I keep getting more gems...

Coming Soon for Master Plan Event.

badnewsbarrett — Thu, 06 Jul 2017 22:49:27 +0000

So I just noticed for the last two weeks of the Master Plan Event for the skill boosters, it just says "Coming Soon" and I'm curious to know what it could be :P

I know at the end of last night's stream, Saygo was teasing we're going to be having a "big" update next month, so I'm assuming it has to do with that? (Which, for the record, I'm guessing it's going to be the Giant update that people have been wanting.)

What's everyone else's thoughts?

NEXON...WANNA BANK ON HAIRSTYLE STORAGE COUPONS???

Beauty Coupons

Skaidrojumi — Thu, 06 Jul 2017 23:09:00 +0000

Never bought one before and have no clue how they work. If I buy one and use it, is it a one time use or is it permanent use?

Lezarro's Rework?

KetsuekiOfRuairi — Thu, 06 Jul 2017 06:18:38 +0000

Construct grandmaster unique effects...

Junan — Thu, 06 Jul 2017 18:16:59 +0000

Appear to be a duplicate effect on top of Master as well as giving 15% lessen mana(/stamina) usage effects.

Now, these sound like the effects that equipment set effects like Trinity give, but they don't apply without?

Can we have a reforge event?

Fallout331 — Thu, 06 Jul 2017 19:06:19 +0000

Please, Nexon, it's been ages since we had the last one and want to reforge so much stuff T_T

Does the double training exp not in effect yet?

ShouK — Thu, 06 Jul 2017 16:26:53 +0000

According to Caravan Joe, week 1 should be double exp for music talent. So I rebirthed to music talent, I only received x4 exp instead of x8 exp (since I used complete skill potion before the maint) or does it not stack with the potion?

so the stream

dra011 — Thu, 06 Jul 2017 03:06:45 +0000

Ok so overall quality of the stream it's self was good nothing to complain about on that point they talked clearly and knew what they was talking about and showed off all the content
now for the content of the stream

grand master renewal:
honestly i both like it and don't like it i like that we get effects with our grand master now it's just too bad they aren't all that useful plus it's nice being able to pay to do more missions so we can get grand master's faster.
having multiple grand masters some talents that need stats from other talents such a puppets will benefit and that's good.
not sure if you can have more then one effect active at a time didn't hear them say if you can have more then one on at once

beauty box:
the coupon to save your hair save's the dye colour you use on your hair as well that's nice but aside from that it just seems like a normal beauty box same as before

grand master effects:
warrior: melee weapon min and max damage increase : 30
mage: magic attack increase : 20
adventure: explore exp: 50% increase
archer: bow and cross bow: min and max damage increase : 30
bard: music buff effect increase: 5 music duration increase: 30%

Reforges are like a bad carnival game...

It costs you a buck per throw and your odds of winning are about 1%.

Giant has strongest range

lceCream — Thu, 06 Jul 2017 04:00:39 +0000

Did some calculations and damn throwing attack is strong

Bhafel hunter/huntress(lion hunter, paradox)
[68 max hunter(+27 bow enchant)+35 max arrow+(600 max dex)+30 max bow mastery+(200 dmg enchants)]*8.05 magnum*3.24 crit *1.15 arrow
=28785
Atlatl(conquerer, 67th), jousting long javelin
[[53 max atlatl(+65 enchant) + 25 javelin + (500 max str)+(200 dmg enchants)]*11 throwing atk+400]*3.24 crit
=31340

4sec cooldown and 99% accuracy isn't that bad too
would prob be stronger with master title

AFK Event Exploit bots

AgentJean — Mon, 26 Jun 2017 23:31:21 +0000

Any rules against these cretins? You know the ones I'm talking about, they create a character with same name with a number and there will be like 5 or 10 all grouped together in Tir by Duncan

I couldn't find the mabi team @ Anime Expo today~

Rhey — Sun, 02 Jul 2017 05:18:01 +0000

Now I have to wait another year.

Plz show a live picture of the location next time. The staffs/volunteers couldn't even tell me where the left door is from the right door.

Props to the Enn/Aces(various)/Lorna and various Egos cosplay I spotted.

P.s. I came planning to splurge a bit on mabi merchandises but oh wells...

Was Our Dance of Death Nerfed?

Iyasenu — Sun, 02 Jul 2017 16:56:36 +0000

Just an observation I only just now noticed.

At rank 1 Dance of Death, the base damage of the skill is 220 for us, right?

Is that what it is in other versions of Mabi?
Looking back on older videos and the gameabout for KR Mabi... ours looks like it was nerfed slightly in the damage department.
The gameabout page on it shows that r1 is 250 base damage.

This video matches that, showing it doing 250 to the enemies it hits.

And this one's even weirder, doing 275 on a non-crit!

But ours is 220.
Weird!
