Could we get monthly updates for these or something more frequent? We did get some updates this/last month, last month was mostly just some halloween hats, and weaps, and honestly I don't quite think the last 2 months reflects towards months of not having updates. I believe the interval for updates is usually 3-5 months aside from Halloween/Christmas/Lunar New Year season. Waiting ~half a year for items is.. well waiting half a year. Last year there were a few dedicated CS updates towards the end of the year but it's quite disappointing going months without updates and then getting one with, really not many/any items you want then having to wait months again for possibly nothing again. This year we've had no dedicated CS update, and while we did have some new content this year, it would be nice to have something to look forward to while waiting for that content to come. The Cash Shop updates we've had this year, correct me if I'm wrong, Dojo(Feb), Anni(Jul), and Christmas(didn't count Halloween as there was kind of nothing sorry). Faces were added during Feb, I believe that's it. Hairs during February, Anni, Halloween(although most of these were questionable). 3-4 CS updates a year is bit sparse. I'm sure more cs/cosmetics update is beneficial for both server and players. I know this was said previously however, the posts in there seem pretty backed up, and if there are any shortages of ideas on what to add, I'm very positive there are maplers out there willing to help.
Yes I have which is why I wrote this month/last month and why Christmas was mentioned. I'm also not sure why that matters as it's for the lack thereof for the entire year, not just Christmas.
Have you checked out some of the earlier releases of NX and RP items in the cashshop? There's a lot of stuff that has never been bought by any of the 500.000+ characters that mapleroyals has.
Plenty of NX and Donor items was added Are you complaining about the lack of quantity or the NX item you want isn't added?
Many times. Pretty sure I've explained already that 3-4 updates over the span of the year is sparse, with cosmetics updates being even less. I wouldn't really call it plenty as it's been 5 months since a real cash shop update.
Supposed if you expect the cash shop update to be monthly, how many NX items addition per update would be considered enough?
There are a lot of factors involved, mainly preference. People are not going to change their preference just because there are a lot of stuffs that has not been bought (not that we can see the stats either way). 'New' weapons tend to have better effects; when swinging or jumping as some items don't even have effects, many new cosmetics are just flashier and more eye-catching. It is a sad fact that some of the not-so-attractive items would be left in the dust but it isn't the player's fault. For example i'm never a top/bottom person but would go for overalls. I am also a NX whore when it comes to weapons because I play a Hero and Brandish swings are awesome. This is just what I prefer and it is going to differ for everyone. If anything, items not being bought just goes to show there is a need to add new items, and not that players should buy these current items and be satisfied. That's not how it works. Plus, how many items in the NX suggestion thread has actually been added? I see lots of pages and I myself have suggested a hairstyle probably over a year ago, but to my knowledge most of these requests just pile up while only a few items get released a few times per year. I know there is already a disclaimer that it might not be added, but truth to be told it is quite frustrating. Is it that hard to put in new items more often? Let us know so we can understand. Or perhaps discuss something that is viable for players and staffs. I think this topic has come out once or twice before and it is always met with this defensive stance that plenty of items was already added. The OP has also taken the effort to show the frequency of items being added that would possibly suggest further improvements would be nice. Let's change the mindset from "stop complaining, we do add cash items already and nothing needs to improve" to "perhaps we are not releasing cash items frequently enough, let's see if the player's suggestion is justified" because it is a win-win for all. Players want to spend more cash, and possibly even donate! I know I will, and I have seen many players with Donor items too. Spoiler: Please remove this part if any mere mention of other servers is not allowed I will not mention the names of the servers but I have played a few for quite some time before. A post big-bang server has this thing called "Surprise Style Box" which is like a gachapon with the items already known beforehand. It changes monthly and it is quite well-received because it never gets dull, and some seasonal items are extremely popular e.g. Frost Staff. I love this idea but I think it would be a little too hard to implement here, not sure. Also would like to point out that another pre-bigbang server (just got shutdown lol) actually have quite a few items and hairstyles that royals don't even have. That got me thinking a little tbh. Anyways back to topic, I think even 1-3 items per month is awesome. There will be something to look forward to every month, not much work to add just 1-3 items (assuming here) compared to 1-2 pages worth. Just add donor if the item is nice, I don't really object to that. I really think adding more items would be well-received here, there are a lot of NX whores out there
Not exactly stopping the OP from complaining about the lack of NX update I'm just confirming whether is the quantity or the lack of adding what the player wanted, because the amount of RP / NX is enough for me Those who seen my characters know I will donate for both the RP clothes and RP chair as well. When I asked how many "how many NX items addition per update would be considered enough", is to confirm the amount that is deemed enough per cash shop update. 5? 10? 20? I'm the type that customizes my characters based on what is available, hence I don't really suggest anything at the thread of 'NX wanted' I'm okay with players asking for more cash shop updates, but we need to be more specific to let the Staff know our expectations Example - hope can see 3 new overalls added per month It's very hard for the Staff to give an official reply when we just ask "There are not enough updates, please add more" How frequent the update should be? How many NX items are considered enough?
I want more eye and shoes NX choices. Remove maybe 1/3 of the top and bottom because they are practically unpopular/not even bought at all. Maybe even move some of the unpopular RP hair into regular NX hairstyle.
As right in the title, monthly if possible. I'd prefer 3~6 items in each main category(hat/overall/weap/possibly cape). Same goes for hair/face. Leaving out the others as it lacks quantity on MS servers and most people don't really buy varieties for it, so together totaling a few. As @NTR said we don't actually know how difficult it is to add in new items, the capable amount per month would depend on the difficulty of actually finding compatible items seeing as there's still a plethora of new NX we haven't gotten. NX/RP is pretty much one of the main things a lot of people look forward to regardless if there's actual content or not, as I've stated it would be nice instead of having to wait for the next update 3-5 months later. Most people check out the cash shop first right after updates. Perhaps 3-5 months in gaming aspect isn't long for you, but I assure you it is for a lot of people. I wouldn't mind a giant revamp of items, but spacing it out seems more efficient(for the server) seeing as people likely limit themselves per update(i.e giant update, you see 10 overalls you want, you'll still probably only limit yourself to the one you like the most) and some people only donate as they need. There's also quite a few people who sign up, donate, then quit a few months later, within the time that there's no CS update. Most likely they'll donate again if they see something they like. Most MMO's cycle items monthly for a reason(yes I know this is a PS), it's a pretty good $$ flow, and it's good on both sides since it's actually something people constantly want no matter what.
That's a sign that no one wants to buy them, not that people didn't explore the cash shop fully. I personally like making my characters based on characters from shows, so i find myself checking the entirety of the cash shop every new character i make, and when new stuff come on i check them on all the players that didn't feel complete to me. If people that scouted all the CS ended up skipping on these items then it might be a sign that its a less successful cosmetic than others. I personally really like the new stuff you guys add so i don't have much to say about it. Other than eye acc and earrings, which i believe are kinda lacking on the normal CS, the rest of the cash shop is pretty awesome
I have suggested this idea before but it got ignored lol... But yes. While I do appreciate the work that the team is putting for us, I feel that many times there are not many interesting RP rotations throughout the year. This ends up limiting my donations, turns out. Whenever I play a game, I take cosmetics very seriously. While that may not be the case for everyone, it allows me to enjoy the game much more when my character is customized to my liking. I hope that we can have more NX and cosmetics updates in the future.
