MapleStory X Re:ZERO Cash Shop Update Changes
Comments
They had two choices.
1. Remove the Medal(s) and keep the boxes available for NX
2. Keep Medal(s), but remove the NX purchase option
I'm
pretty surecertain they knew we wanted the medals, but we just didn't want the boxes available for NX. However given the two choices, Nexon's choice is pretty obvious.What is the point of removing the BEST THING in the boxes when you're supposed to remove the NX option, and lower the meso price for the box??????????
GOOD JOB NEXON FOR LOSING CUSTOMERS. GOOD JOB FOR MESSING THIS UP FOR US LOOKING FORWARD TO THE EVENT. GOOD JOB NEXON FOR TAKING THE EASIEST WAY OUT AND JUST HOPING TO SQUEEZE MONEY OUT OF THE COMMUNITY.
Now, there is NO POINT OF EVEN BUYING THE BOXES.
Good job, community manager. Good job. /ragequit
They knew exactly what we wanted. They just gave us what their version of compromise and can say they listened. It is too late now.
Please reconsider the changes, You say in your post "For the fans of Re:ZERO, we didn’t want to exclude any server from the exclusive items that could be acquired from this collaboration event." but as others have stated, this is doing exactly that. Everyone knows the best thing about this entire event are the medals, and it's honestly pointless when that best thing from the event is completely removed from your server altogether.
No not true. A certain amount of posts literally said "We dont want the medals at all if it means to ensure Reboot does not become Pay to win". I am in favor of removing the medals for this aspect. Nexon wants to continue making money because they are a business. There is no reason for ME personally to ever get a Re:Zero box now in Reboot, but at the same time, I'm happy that the Medal is not obtainable through NX whatsoever.
This event literally just became a leveling event for me since I'm on Reboot. Which I'm fine with. My only wish is that Beast Tamer would be available for this event and not after.
I think its unfair for these items to be unavailable on reboot, maybe theres another way to introduce them.
I'd like to know this as well. It seems undeniable that they should have known this was going to happen. Considering that they are going to include Re:Zero boxes to still cost NX, they were going to make this event a "Free Money for us" event for all servers + Reboot regardless.
Don't even know why it concerns you, if you don't like it then don't bother, its just there as a bonus option in case people don't want to use mesos or just don't have enough mesos
Yea yea yea, reboot is suppose to be not pay2win but its a one time event only for gods sake it will go back to being not pay2win..
The medal wasn't the issue; it should still be available for reboot; just not in the NX random boxes.
Regardless of what conspiracy theorys everyone comes up with, they didn't add the P2W to Reboot at that's what matters. Thank you for listening to us.
I don't understand why it concerns you guys... If people want to use nx instead let them, its their money they do whatever they want with it, it hurts that bad to see they got it easier and you jealous??
Instead of complaining about it being sold in nx, complain about the meso pricing for the box.. Which changed but also lost the good items becuz you guys complain about the good items also obtainable thru money lol..
@Arwoo, this guys right.
We all knew it would come in some short of RNG but not this way, you guys just basically combined the Philosopher books w/o Frenzy
and from everything you've listed, there are only about 8 Re:zero exclusive items (3 of them being titles that give horrid stats) vs 50 non-event items
excluding battle-roid and permanent pendant slot, everything else is basically junk and all you did was reduce it down to 3.2k nx
when the ACTUAL Philosopher books contain FRENZY and OUTLAW HEARTS, it would cost 2.6k nx with basically everything except the Re:zero things.
now how does this make sense that something thats always been here only costs 2.6k nx and you guys add in 8 content event things boosts up the cost to 3.2k?
REGARDLESS - JMS had this very same event as rng BUT only provided the same content item, and your Twitch Stream was very misleading to make us think the hair and eye Cosmetics were going to be in COUPON form.
Many people had made comments to change the meso pricing; Most people prayed that it was a typo.
The reason why there was more outcry over the NX buyable medal was because the ridiculous pricing of the box in meso gave more incentive to
buy the NX box because it wouldn't take nearly as much work. However, this is exactly Pay 2 Win; the players who are on reboot that are fine
with the price of the box would've grinded up for hours for a chance to get the medal; while someone with money could just sit theree and through
money at the boxes until they got the medal. Again; this is Pay 2 Win; what Reboot is not meant to be. The whole point of Reboot is free to play; the other
servers are considered pay 2 win and that's why many stick to Reboot. The fact that the ability to buy the medal and bypass the work required throws out the
idea of Reboot immediately; it doesn't matter if it's someone's money; they can spend it on the other servers if they want.
The medal should've not been available for cash money; Meso boxes only is fine; as you still have to work for that; NX disadvantages players who don't
have a bunch of money, and again; makes it a P2W item. The solution should've been to remove the NX boxes from Reboot; or move the medal from the boxes
to another location such as cassandra, a coin shop, or some other in game way to get it; even selling it directly for the 500mil price for one box would be acceptable.
But removing the medals entirely makes the whole point of the boxes for many players null.
Learn to read, kthx bye.
I realize that Nexon is a company as a whole and aims for long-term profits. Reboot is a special server where you must remove a substantial number of sources of profit (i.e. Cubes) to eliminate the infamous "pay2win" aspect, in favor of "grind2win". In this case, profit comes from convenience and cosmetics. However, this is my argument:
Cubes purchasable through NX were the main source of many players' discontent as one could spend hundreds to drastically increase their range (in magnitudes exceeding 5000%). However, medals that increase a player's range by around 1% should not be so alarming. The number of players excited for this crossover event is much more than you think. Moreover, I can confidently say that most of your player base was/is looking forward to the medals. Is preventing 1% more range worth eliminating the highlight of the crossover event? In any case, this argument supports keeping medals in the NX boxes and technically violates the philosophy of "absolutely no pay2win."
Let's assume that the following is a list of your goals:
- Allow Reboot players to have access to all crossover content.
- Prevent pay2win on Reboot (i.e. no players can obtain medals via NX).
- Support grind2win on Reboot (the essence of Reboot).
For the best of all worlds (for you as a company, your Reboot philosophy, and your player base), I believe there are better solutions to the "problems" that you've answered. Please consider them.
If you truly care about your Reboot player base and are willing to sacrifice:
1. Keep the medals in the boxes, but entirely remove the boxes purchasable through NX on Reboot. (100 million mesos/box alone is perfect.)
Or, if you MUST have a source of profit from this event:
2. Only remove the medals from the NX version of the box. (And keep 100 million mesos/box.)
Or, if you MUST have a source of profit from this event, but you're afraid that option #2 will decentivize players from purchasing the NX version of the box:
3. Remove the medals from both boxes and just give all Reboot players the medals for free. (Honestly don't see why not, since this is your current decision + Reboot players gain access to the highlight of the crossover event.)
What do you think?
P. S.
Reboot still contains the "pay4convenience" aspect (i.e. pet skills, Conjurer's Cache for inventory bag items). The Permanent Pendant Slot is very much a convenience item. Hence, I believe that the inclusion of the Permanent Pendant Slot Expansion is not a problem. However, this isn't too big of a deal - just thought I'd mention it.
