great V events only for new characters
welp so apprently nexon wants us all to make new mains.. or not even be able to do the events since new events only works for new characters starting tommorw after patch
Comments
I was looking forward to this patch for my main. Finally to have something to do besides "dailies" and regurgitated events. 5th job, V matrix, a whole new system to explore.
But no. Can't do that. Must first create a totally unnecessary character, level it to 200, do all sorts of missions on it (up to and including defeating a CRA boss!). Use up all our play time on this new pointless character if we want the rewards on our long-suffering main. "Long awaited", "9 years in the making", and now, hold on! wait another couple of months...
I leveled the Pink Bean class to 200 and did its diary. That was a fun diversion because I had nothing interesting to do on my main at the time. But now? Now that I can finally get some inventory space and go exploring the new area and hunting for new power? I don't need diversions!
...
Sorry. Just a rant. I'm aware nothing will change. It's just so frustrating how Nexon is always trying to cater to new players, while frustrating veterans. I guess they know that if we've stuck with them all these years despite all their previous mistreatment of us, we probably won't quit because of this either. So who cares if we're not happy?
think of it this way: you're not making a new main, you're making ANOTHER main. one you can play on when you get bored with the other, one you can do random things on for fun. these rewards that new characters get are made to help you along that quest. yes, it's slightly catering to newer players (which, imo, is good) but it's not outright ignoring veterans.
Nexon trying to frustrate veterans? It is more like you got frustrated cuz you can't have everything.
The Burning, the Breakthrough, and even the Tracker (Diary), which they very magnanimously allow you to do on any character that was created after the patch, not just the burning one...
Yes, the Tracker rewards can be claimed on another character, but that actually makes things worse. If the rewards were only for the new characters I'd just ignore the whole thing (as I did with the permanent pet for level 150 Blaster). But since I can get them on my main, I feel forced to do the tasks.
I already have all the links i need...
at least we can redeem some of the rewards on our main characters.
My bad. I forgot its about V-event only and other events not included. Still does not make any difference. I meant there are still other events available to do.(V coin shopt/absolab weapon). Other then that I still can't understand you at all. As you mentioned, it is 'you' who feel forced to do tasks which I see as 'I must have everything'. Your points could only be valid if there was only V events available which makes it impossible for you to get any reward if you don't create a new char.
So yeah, accusing nexon trying to frustrate veterans in your context is pure bullshet.
1. Train an entirely new class that has literally zero appeal to me and quite possibly a class I've tried and quit before. "Enjoy" my way to 200 while my actual mains stagnate, and fund it well enough to do that stupid CRA boss mission.
2. Do as you suggest and create a "new main" which logically would be a class I already enjoy meaning the other char of the same class I have at either around 180 or 200 will be tossed along w/ all the questlines, the slot expansions, the collections, the traits, mounts, medals and all other accomplishments.
3. Completely skip on the event despite the very very good rewards and just stick to ONE event that my mains can do.
So yeah, this.
and this.
You're right, it's not all of them. But you're wrong in saying that it's just one of them.
Below are the events which are available to everyone by default and would be stupid if restricted to new chars only
Note: this is EVERYTHING below the "events" part of the update notes.
V hot day
Hi-five box
V coin shop
Holiday events
2x and Fever time
Aside from the holiday events, all the other events are literally impossible to restrict to new chars. Enough said.
These are the events restricted to new chars:
Burning
V Breakthrough
V Tracker
These are the events not restricted to newly created characters:
Play V
So basically if we don't make a new class and get it to 200, we:
-miss out on the awesome rewards
-have nothing to do but farm boxes, play V and yet another go at the same holiday events
How does this not make you understand that we feel forced to neglect our mains?
They are trying to cater to new players. They ignore the veterans' needs and plans. This causes us frustration.
And seriously, CRA on a newly created char? That just screams "be an nx whale and fund your ass off to CRA or else".
However I will still play my some what main account, not that far anyways only have 2x high levels and not even funded,
