  • What Do Our Korean Counterparts Have To Say?

    Seasons Greetings!

    I never expected this much furor over my simple request for a Korean address. Thanks to those who recommended it! The translations I've seen so far are very interesting and telling in how intense Korean gamers are to their games, warts and all, though I suspect a lot has been naturally cleaned up in their versions....

    Nope sometimes it's because of the company. They keep gachaing content out. Playerbase gets sick of it and warns newer players.

    I hear you, but legit as one's gaming gripes might be, it's not the job of seasoned gamers to poison the well before newbies could take a sip for themselves. This kind of broadcasting one's personal game dissatisfaction has put off a lot of new gamers from trying some otherwise very good games and it's one reason why game developers are so tight-lipped even with alpha testing. Rest assured that game companies are basically there to make money not willfully lose it, and if they don't seem responsive to one segment of their users, be sure as the sun rises that they're making it up through another. Perhaps priorities would've been reversed had Mabinogi been developed and marketed in the U.S.A...

    The way I see _free (and non-purchased) games_ is that you're a guest allowed to freely rumble in someone's house and while one can and should give developers _constructive criticism_, that doesn't include tearing down a game to discourage others playing if it doesn't meet one's expectations or the developers don't answer the call. At a comic-con here NYC years ago an Electronic Arts author soberly voiced the same of how sometimes even beyond publicity departments how the fickle gaming community takes to a new or current game gives marketing the willies.

    I'm in sync that the next wave in video gaming will be the recycling/enhancement of old game titles with unique themes and gameplay whose minor shortcomings and bugs doomed them to obscurity. A recent game startup in Carolina called "P-51" aims to fix that. The "P- 51" was the Mustang fighter in WWII (famously flown by black pilots and Chuck Yeager), which was originally out of the factory an advanced yet very mediocre performer until later when its engine was replaced by the Brit's superior Merlin engine which turned it into a super-fighter second only the German jets. Merlin turned an ugly duckling into a swan princess and this "games recycling" outfit aims to do the same with "golden oldies" once they get past securing rights. I'm only saying this because there's always a better game lurking beneath the one we play if given a chance, not a hammer.

    Anyway off my soapbox...

    Seasons Greetings All & Have A Safe Happy New Year!

    Anything to break-in guild-shy newbies into becoming part of this game can only be a good idea//suggestion.

  • 100% Repair Is Virtually Useless

    @CometRider IF I am understanding what you are suggesting correctly, the performance (damage, balance, crit, injury, etc) of a weapon is not affected by durability. Durability is how long your weapon lasts. If it goes to 0 durability, you simply cannot use it anymore. I am not sure if I recall anything in the tutorial explaining this.

    Others may be able to give more insight on what sort of equipment is worth spending the gold on 100% repairs.

    My apologies for tardy reply! Thank you for answering my question. My main concern was a gradual degradation of your weapon's effectiveness as its durability declined over use because of wear and tear. If there is no degradation effect until durability reaches zero then there should be no point in making repairs but just replace the weapon when zero durability is reached, especially if it's a very expensive repair like with Formor weapons, would that be so? That would make it far easier to stuff my bank, happily! Nowhere else by Google have I found answers to this! Thank you!
