Does anyone else hope for an increase to the character cap like up to 200?
Comments
I made a thread about this last April, and they did raise it from 150 -> 180, but that's honestly still not enough. To plagiarize my old post with updated information:
Mabinogi needs to raise its character limit. It’s currently 180. Including the Master Pet Box, Astral Pet Box, and Sheeptuplet variants, there were 198 pets and 4 partners. So despite giving 30 more slots, there were still more than 20 unique pets that we didn’t have room for. And since this last thread we've gotten another partner, William, and 10 pets. (Alto, Kokopo, Fez, Tia, Alfie, Candy Broom, Lorna broom, Mir dragon, Scooter Imp, and the white cosmic stallion variant from Meowbinogi) If you include the tuan and reindeer we got from login events, that’s 13 new pets in 9 months.
Add to that the now 7 free character cards new accounts get and 2 assistant character cards and there is a total of 222 unique characters, pushing the count 42 over the limit.
This doesn’t even include any duplicate pets, which people like having due to their usefulness or simply because they’re color selectable and even the same pet can look very different depending on color. Having a character limit is honestly a very bad move on Nexon’s part. Some people like collecting pets for example, and instead of just being able to purchase one of each they have to weigh which ones are worth the character spot. Just from pets I would have purchased and couldn’t due to this, Nexon lost out on about $200 already. This doesn’t even take into account purchasing any more character cards either, which potentially stops people from being able to get the ace training badges from the hero cards as well as being able to store less money in their bank.
People should be able to have at least one of each pet if they desire. I can’t imagine how people who’ve been playing since the start might feel when new pets come out and they have to decide whether it’s worth getting rid of pets that they’ve had for years, and possibly have gotten attached to, to get the new and usually more useful pets. Having the limit raised to at least 250 would help Nexon make more money, but raising it to 300, 500, or just removing it altogether wouldn’t be unreasonable since there just isn’t enough server traffic to warrant such a limit.
that's why I only have it set to show my only my actual characters at startup XD I have 17 characters so it's still slightly slow though
That didn't sound right to me so out of curiosity sake I just tested how long it takes for me personally with and without pets showing. I video recorded myself to check and be it just my 9 characters, or my 9 characters, 5 partners, and 100+ pets it took my computer 5 seconds to load it regardless. And once I was at the title screen if I toggled pets on or off it happened instantly so it seems like the pets load regardless. I'm east coast so I don't have less ping for being in California or whatever and my computer is by no means strong (It's a virtual machine so it really can't be that strong). It sounds like you taking 15 seconds is just your computer.
As for how the data is stored, I really don't know the technicalities of that. However, considering the limit was originally 80 pets way back when the game was new and there were a lot more players, it doesn't seem unreasonable that players around today have ~3x the amount of pets, when there's maybe only 10% of what the population was back then. I might be missing the point of what you said, but from what I understand even with 250 pets per person, that'd still be less space per pet than was originally allocated when the game began, no?
Actually, the whole 15 seconds, was just guessing, it was really more like 5 seconds, just felt more like 15 seconds.
I'm no where near the cap myself but don't the pets you own also make up the total number?
I also agree. Why would people vote no? It doesn't effect them if they don't want a lot of characters/pets.
I feel like we have hidden trolls around..
-points at Daraeus- :P
What how. I voted yes. Pls no troll.
Sure we should be allowed to have 900 pets per account, but at some point the game's own limitations is going to put a natural cap on how many pets the client can display without exploding.
Or maybe the limit is there to prevent people from spending too much money.Idk. Nexon is weird so there's no telling if or when it'll be changed.Well the limit was raised to 180 last year so I'd hope that's not the case lmao. But with what both you and Eralea said about crashing and lagging is completely client-side. I just counted and my total is at 144 pets and I don't experience the lag that was described above.
But Nexon, a for-profit company that's constantly being accused of exploiting the pay-to-win aspect of their game and bleeding their playerbase dry, doesn't want their customers to spend more money on them. That sounds completely believable. But seriously, Nexon is a company and therefore they want to make money, and being their own competition isn't the best method to do so.
I completely agree people are working there to get money to feed their families, I mean like we aren't the only ones who need to survive after all.
Or rich xD (but tbh that would be me capping 500 probably)
Ok honestly I wanted to vote no because I thought they were talking about the Level cap. :x
