  • Re:Zero Cash Update - New Suggestions

    First off I'd like to say that I'm glad that these changes were implimented:

    Re:ZERO Random Box NX Cost reduced from 4,000 NX to 3,200 NX on Non-Reboot Worlds
    Re:ZERO Random Box NX Cost reduced from 4,000 NX to 2,200 NX on Reboot
    Re:ZERO Random Box Meso reduced from 500,000,000 Mesos to 100,000,000 Mesos on Reboot

    However, I believe that these next changes were a bad idea and misrepresented the intentions of the vocal community when we said "keep p2w out of reboot" :

    Life in Another World Medal removed from the Re:ZERO Random Box on Reboot
    Re:ZERO Medal removed from the Re:ZERO Random Box on Reboot

    What we meant wasn't to remove the medals from the boxes but to change the boxes entirely so that only Re:Zero items remained. I believe I mentioned this on my previous post on here:

    http://forums.maplestory.nexon.net/discussion/12018/re-zero-thoughts-suggestions-on-the-cash-grab#latest

    What made the random box desirable in the first place was the inclusion of the Re:Zero medals. What made the random box so controversial and "p2w" was the even more skewed rng against obtaining these medals by adding philosopher book / marvel content into the "Re:Zero" random box. I believe that if the only items that were in the box were Re:Zero themed then little to no one would have been outraged about the boxes.

    Same goes for the Re:Zero surprise style boxes and the hair coupons. I'm still waiting for both of those to be addressed by Arwoo or Nexon. Like I mentioned in my other thread that I linked above, we don't want MVP surprise style boxes with Re:Zero perm nx, we want Re:Zero surprise style boxes with Re:Zero themed nx ONLY. Either that or individual purchases of these items or sets in cash shop.

    Regarding the hairs, just do all Re:Zero hairs without being mixed with regular royals or sell individual hair coupons limited to 1 of each per account.

    I don't think that any of these suggestions are unreasonable, or at least address these issues.

    They can definitely change it if they want to. They just won't. They could even lower the prices to compensate. But they won't.
    To me, this is the worst possible update they could have done for this series. Like you said, the random box costs more than a Philosopher's Book or Marvel, and gives out less items. And the NX clothes part is unacceptable. In other events, the items were from the series being promoted. But they just got greedy with this one, dismissed the fact JMS did what they normally do for this, and make us have to weed through the MVP box to get to the now going to be incredibly rare Re:Zero items. These are going to be the rarest clothes in the game, because even with the SAO and AoT event clothes being scarce now, they were at one point widely available. These will have never been widely available, so they're rare to start with.
    I don't know why they changed it from what JMS had, other than greed. It worked before, why break a system that works?
    I was hyped for this too, but they wrecked it. I guess we can't look forward to crossovers anymore, as they'll likely just do this again. I don't know how this will get anyone to watch the anime, we won't be seeing people wearing the clothes all the time, and Emilia being in game isn't enough to lure people to Crunchyroll to watch the anime. And it won't lure people who like the anime either, because they'll eventually learn they can't get the items from the anime this game is promoting. >_<
    I agree, part of what makes a crossover event a crossover event is the ability to use the items or obtain the items being promoted so that one might be more inclined to check out the thing that is being promoted. How is paying possibly $100 and not even getting a Re:Zero item going to make someone check out the Re:Zero anime? If anything it'd make them never want to watch the series.

  • Re:Zero Thoughts & suggestions on the "cash grab"

    I'm seriously confused as to why they put Re:Zero random box items mixed in with philosopher book / marvel items. Marvel is $5 for 3 items, books are $2.60 for 2 items meanwhile this "Re:Zero" box is $4 for 1 item (to my knowledge.) If this 1 item per box is really the case then why oh why would it be 500m meso? I don't even play reboot and I feel their pain.

    Also confused as to why the Re:Zero surprise style box is just the MVP surprise box we got a few months ago but he smile seed cash items were replaced by Re:Zero cash items. If this were truly a promotional event the Re:Zero items would be purchasable individually or in a random box only containing Re:Zero items right? Or am I crazy?

    And then the Royal hairs, oh god. Really? Same as my previous point, they should have been available as individual purchases or have all 6 hairs available in a random selection aside from the regular royals, so that instead of gambling for 3 hairs one week and 3 hairs the next week we could at least have a shot of all 6 hairs at once.

    Like people have been stating on different forums, the SAO & AoT events were not like this (I wasn't here for either so I could be wrong.)

    One thing I liked that I heard the SAO event did was include some quest, event, or theme dungeon where you put in time to obtain a medal related to the crossover event. It would have been cool to have something like that again but Re:Zero related given that these medals will potentially be best in slot for a very long time.

    My suggestions for anybody with influence on these forums is to try to get these viewpoints across to Nexon so that hopefully the cash shop items related to the event become purchasable on their own or maybe we get a chance to obtain these same items through an event, quest, or theme dungeon.

    I know it's probably not possible to implement changes regarding the cash items at this point but at least take note for the next crossover event if we get one. I know I'm not alone in feeling this way. Many others anticipating this event also weren't expecting the even items to be released to us this way.

    This is not a hate post or a satire, just expressing some concerns and giving feedback, thanks for listening.

  • Please Return The Legends Return/ Star Planet

    nexon.. i do not ever post on forums or things of this nature but this is very important to me -- and much of the maplestory community. ever since the legends return was introduced i have been hooked. i spend countless hours playing with cherished companions, truly enjoying maplestory. the removal of star planet means that we will no longer be able to spend time together; most of these friends come from different servers.

    these days, i log onto maplestory and find myself at a loss. i had grown so accustomed to immediately heading to star planet, and now…
