I know the Sol Erda issue has already been discussed in several youtube videos, Inkwell’s notes, and other places, but I wanted to share a suggestion that I think would genuinely help.
Looking back at nexon, I think they usually come up with good ideas, but the implementation isn't always great. I feel like they’ll probably address the Sol Erda issue through another temporary event, but that doesn’t actually solve the underlying problem.
Here’s my suggestion
I think all sol erda rewards from bossing, weeklies, events, Mystic Frontier, and similar content should become selectable rewards:
1 Sol Erda or Sol Erda Energy
or
30 Sol Erda Fragments
I also think the drop rate of sol erda fragments should simply be increased overall.
Another thing that has been bothering me is how the game encourages us to build Legion and multiple characters, but at the same time, it doesn’t really feel worth investing NX into those characters. Most of us level characters to 200, 210, or 250 and then leave them there.
Sometimes you want to make a new main, try a new class, or build another legion mule, but those characters often feel extremely weak because we usually level them through growth potions and don’t fully invest in them for a long time.
What makes this even worse is the NX and cosmetic side of things. With newer events like the Goddess Blessing Pass, we’re basically forced to create brand new characters. That means all the hard earned NX items, rare hairstyles, and cosmetics we invested in on older characters can’t really be used on the new class we’re encouraged to play.
A good example is rare hairstyles and faces. Some of these cosmetics can never be obtained again, especially collaboration items like the One Punch Man hairstyles and faces, along with many older collaboration cosmetics. There are plenty of characters that players have already invested in, whether they're level 200, 210, or 250, with arcane symbols already completed or close to being completed.
Because of that, I really feel that we should be able to use the "Goddess Blessing Pass" on older characters. It's also getting to the point where many players are running out of character slots. Even if you use character slot expansion coupons, there's still a maximum limit. Eventually you'll be forced to start deleting characters just to participate in future events, and that doesn't feel good at all.
I really hope Nexon makes changes that:
Allow us to use the "Goddess Blessing Pass" on older characters
Reduce the pressure to constantly create new characters for every major event
Fix the sol erda problem
At the end of the day, the game encourages us to build a large roster of characters, but many event systems seem to push players toward creating temporary characters instead of continuing to invest in the ones they've already spent time and money on.
Those are just my thoughts. What do you guys think?
