What the....really?
That's #$@!ing stupid.
As someone who also plays Town of Salem (ToS), Mabinogi's version of Mafia can feel lackluster in comparison, though in all fairness, ToS has focused exclusively on updating and running their version. Obvious flaws in ToS is the afk, gamethrowers, etc. I remember one game in Mabinogi where we had to wait the full 15 minutes because someone decided to go afk. And nobody decided to kill him, so it happened the next day too... Mafia can be a lot of fun in either version.
@Arjune
I've honestly been misreading Festia ever since I first saw it, lol. Fiesta kinda makes since to me as a name since it looks like a carnival and party and whatnot.
@Policroma
Festia looks to be full of all kinds of past events including Lorraine's Nightmare, Tail Chasers, and the FSN event you mentioned.
@Raishii
The fact that Festia uses those tickets to play games is kinda dumb... While it does prevent people from spamming them all day to just get rewards, it also means that "Oh, I played my 3-4 games today, guess I have to go do something else now." Rewards can be nice, but the tickets limit it too much I guess. I barely bother to play around in Festia because it's too limited.
@Greta
I kinda hate Alexina's market too. I saw someone selling the Eternal Rest book via their party ad, and they wanted 1.5m for it. Asking some other people around Tail SM, the highest price I saw them put it at was 300k, lowest being 150k. I was willing to pay more than that, but the minimum that guy was willing to go was 1m. People can get really greedy and the market is fluctuating so wildly...
I heard something about an update that was supposed to be like the Grand Exchange from Runescape, but it got scrapped. That would have helped so much.
They really should just make Festia spammable because its not like anyone WANTS the rewards you get.
All people want is the fox ear wig from Festia and all the other "hit x rewards" people would just vendor to the lazy people, For the very "low price" of 10mil each.
Not like anyone would buy it though.
That being said, I see no real reason to expand it, since it meaningless to compete with Town of Salem, which is the main game, versus a minigame to spruce up our social aspects.
The point is to enhance the social aspects within Mabinogi, not to compete with Town of Salem. Mabinogi being the keyword.
The suits, briefcases, and other event items were from fishing or other means, but not Gacha. When Mafia was released (on Alexina) you'd see it everywhere. There could potentially be some fixes to it still, and maybe that might get a couple players to come back to it.
@Opalthira
Removing the limit to Festia seems like the best way to liven it up. As for the rewards, I don't even care to do the solo stuff for them, so I don't care if they get scrapped completely. While rewards do entice other players to do stuff, I'd be happy if I just had a good time, maybe make some new friends.
@TNinja
The issue with the actual cards is that finding a large enough group can be an issue sometimes (as it is with Mafia in Mabinogi) and with large enough groups, things can get chaotic. It's still probably the best way, however.
Me too! Maybe it's the same person???
I get a feeling that we are talking about same player here
You'd be surprised. People price festia items at 10m because they sell at 10m. And believe it or not, there IS more than a silly fox-ear wig. I personally have been wearing the festival dress more than other outfits lately because I love it.
Also, notice people making Rosemary gloves more often? That's because festia drops ice silks and fabrics far more than the content they came from. (Sad but true...) So the materials are more readily available.
The real issues with Festia are as follows: there are 2 games with near-impossible achiements and it locks out anyone running a kiosk. A lot of people run kiosks constantly to keep money coming in (or sometimes to hold a good spot) while they are doing other things. So if you ask someone to do festia who normally would be all for it, they can't.
10m is a cute price compared to people who are selling Wiggling Fox Ears and Wig (F) for around 50-110m. So sad.
Pretty much all the rewards are set to 10mil except the wigs then usually see them in shops for like month before they disappear.
I find it hard to believe people are buying them up when they just sit there for weeks unsold.
I also haven't seen a certain flaming sword from Avon being wielded by a single player in game yet.
Last time I had a Festival dress drop, I sold it for 10m the same day. If somebody's trying to sell the hairpin for that much, then that's just hopeless.
As for the sword... I don't think a lot of people use the sword, whether they use rosemaries or not. But I have seen new rosemaries floating around, along with people advertising to buy the pattern.
They were popular enough I suppose in the day, but Rosemary Gloves are difficult to get, and are more sought after for their bonus Damage multiplier for Ice Magic (+15%), and they are inferior to many other weapons we have these days it seems.
There simply isn't demand when other options present themselves, and are far easier to procure.
