I would like to get your feedback on how you would feel about the Droprate and Mesorate being lowered to 3x instead of 5x. I think that lowering these rates will assist with: - Helping the economy regain it's feet. - Helping your inventories not get filled up so fast. - Possibly make stuff that currently people leave lying on the ground actually worth selling in the FM, or at least to NPC's. - Slightly reduce map lag where so many items are dropping and being left on the ground. Information that might help you make your choice in this poll: - Drops which are already quite rare and should not change in rarity will be adjusted. For example: Zombies Lost Gold Tooth and Bigfoot Toe will not become rarer. - We plan on making Gachapon more stable by removing some scrolls. - We plan on adding some scrolls to PQ's to make them more exciting. - We plan on adding Maple Leaf drops to all area bosses at varying rates to make them more exciting. - We plan on bringing back 'GodlyItems' soon and will adjust the rate to make sure they are not rarer than before. What are you views on this? Please vote in the attached poll and feel free to leave your feedback in writing if you wish. The poll is anonymous.
I don't care about meso rate but no to the drop rate decrease pleaseeeeeee. The biggest problem with the economy right now, in my opinion, is that there aren't enough mesos being circulated to buy nice things with. The mesos we make from npc'ing equip drops adds up. On my SMC over the past couple of days alone I've npc'd almost 200m of equips. If you lower the drop rate, even fewer mesos will enter the already fairly stagnant market we have.
EDIT: after reading what other people have said and the reading that rare drops will not change rarity and that godly items will not be rarer either, I think this is a good idea.
But the main reason in my opinion that the market is currently pretty messed up due to the amount of scrolls being chucked out by Gachapon. And we plan on lowering those as stated in the opening post. And do you really want to have to go through looting so many equips when searching for the 'godlyitems'. Seems like a pain to me... I am not going to change the rates if that is what people want. But I have heard from a couple of people that the rates should probably be lowered slightly, and I am leaning towards that way too. I've also heard that it is very easy to obtain quite a large amount mesos by the amount of items that can currently be NPC'd.
I like this idea, since drops from mobs are being pretty overlooked unless it's a Maple weapon or a 110+ weapon. I think if we keep meso rates like this. We need some form of money dump that goes to the game. Example: An NPC that sells etc equips at a higher then average price. If money just keeps getting passed between each other, it's just going to keep inflating prices. @Dave Personally I think there's too much mesos in circulation right now, that's why you're having to pay pretty high prices for certain equips. I understand that there's rarity as well but a smaller pool of money overall means a deflation in costs. If this is suppose to be like Nostalgic GMS, then making 30-50mil per training session(What I usually make), Should not normal in my opinion.
Exp rates should stay the same but the drop rate should be decreased to 3x in my opinion. I feel like the gacha rates should be lowered but also more stuff should be added to the gacha as in items in maplestory's past that we can no longer obtain for ex: pumkin baskets, maple bandannas, Maplemas/versalmas hats etc etc you get where I am going with this.
meso rate is perfect but if drop rate were lowered by 1x that would be perfect whatever mentioned in the post also seems like very good ideas and i for one wouldnt complain about those changes
Yes this is a must. its already getting out of control with quite a small playerbase.. it will get broken so hard with double the playerbase . Dont really care what the greedy ppls here vote, you know it has to be done ~~
As a Bishop I make most of my funds from NPCing items. My shop is not doing well and my Gacha runs are just ridiculous, I can do a 75 ticket Gacha run and mostly get elixirs/cheese and some really crap def scrolls... Having said that, I think for all other players (non Door classes) it is a waste of server resources because stuff just lay on the ground. So the ITEM drop rate could be lowered to 3x (meso stay the same). Instead make Gachapon more fun and usable. (I voted No - It's fine the way it is! for the mesos, the items can be lowered to 3x) Maybe off topic but as it is right now it is impossible for most players to get enough WS/Chaos scrolls to actually make something useful out of them. I for once have never gotten a Chaos scroll from Gachapon, and I have gached hundreds and hundreds of tickets.
I think most people who voted here didn't even read the opening post or any other replies in this thread prior to voting. I hate seeing a single monster drop like 3 equips... sometimes even more... the current drop rate is too much in my opinion. Takes away all fun of trying to find them... Say for example you are looking for a 'godlyitem' stat Red Craven... you will just continously not pick up any items til the message appears... boring... Where the excitement of seeing one drop, going to pick it up and then hoping that is a 'godlyitem' stat drop.
many people want it to stay x5 and many people want it to be lowred to x3 why not make it x4 and thats it ?
I agree that the meso and drop rates are a bit too high, perhaps lower them to 3x although I guess this is something that needs a lot of thought and consideration before it is performed
I think 3x drop and 5x mesos is a good compromisation, however I can see godly drops becoming impossible to find with a 3x rate. (Voted for let's try it out).
Ty, I said in a post already that the 'godlyitems' rate would be adjusted so that they wouldn't be any harder to find. So that shouldn't affect peoples decisions on this poll.
