5. When you change characters within your account, just return to character selection screen instead of channel selection. It is really annoying, why do l need to select channel when l change my characters?
We had this at one point but it made the servers/client really unstable for some reason and then they just gave up on fixing it.
Yeah I agree. It's less likely to be changed if the angle people want to go about it is political to begin with instead of pointing out the advantages of the change beyond that. Sure, some people will find politics in anything. If they remove gender flags entirely then that could be interpreted as a trans thing. Even the April Fools hairs just being flipped gender-wise could be taken as offensive, if you reach far enough.
My opinion is that letting players marry their friends or whoever, regardless of in-game or irl gender, would be a good change. People tie the virtual knot for different reasons but the only real advantage you gain in-game is access to Amoria PQ and an extra private chat.
People being able to purchase a wedding together with a person they trust the most in-game to not randomly divorce them is a win-win scenario. Nexon makes money off the people who might otherwise not have been able to find a suitable partner, and players can fully enjoy the wedding-system without marrying random flimsy mules just for their gender setting.
It's potentially not an easy thing to implement though. Amoria PQ is old as heck, and has stages that rely on the gender flag of your character.
(Sidenote: Didn't your whole account used to be genderlocked back in "tHe GoOd oLd dAyS" or am I miss-remembering? Pretty sure you couldn't even create a character of the opposite gender to the one you had specified initially.)
But on the other hand you still get male armor drops if you're on a female character.
Bottom line is the gender flag needs to either matter more to be consistent, or matter less to be flexible. I personally think it should matter less at this point.
I would like for the same to apply to crush rings and other "couple" specific items.
Other people have mentioned wanting to open up the hair/face pool as well and being able to buy and use tickets for both male and female styles regardless of the character's assigned gender. Nexon could probably make a decent profit off that too. Male styles are horrible every this week but there's a cool style in the female rotation? That's a purchase that someone might make instead of holding onto their money that week.
More character (and android) customization is always a good thing in my book.
You know there is a reason why these things are not in KMS and in some servers.
Yes, the reason is that it is exclusive content created for other versions, and all of that content serves some sort of purpose and is frequently used.
Kishin was not deleted in other servers, like Aggra said. It was modified, presumably largely because TMS hands out Frenzy totems like it's candy. It's not guaranteed that we'll get this change either.
If you wanna be a KMS purist or whatever, then just go play that.
That said, I do agree that we need the new cash shop UI and I believe Nexon has said they're looking into it. I would also like to have the more extensive ranking system that KMS has on their website.
