Renegade Posted August 4, 2010 Report Posted August 4, 2010 DQps is fine 1-3 qps max.Because if a person enters the arena for 100 times he uses 300 coupons.I am saying that because the card isnt gonna be dropped for atleast 100 or 200 tries or maybe even more. How will event coupons be fair for new players?Not everyone can win an event,Players just randomly win it.I vote for donation coupons or quest items. I can see where you are coming from. New players do farm donation coupons, but that is very time consuming and there are other items that would take higher priority (armor, weapons, auras, etc.). That would be a lot of work to obtain those coupons for a .01% chance. Using donation coupons favors the people who already have enough to repeatedly use them on this or those who are able to donate to obtain more. There are plenty of events that anyone can win like dice and warp portal. You are rewarded with 7 coupons each event. Requiring event coupons would encourage more players to participate in events. I am not entirely for one or the other. Requiring a small amount of both could work nicely, as Xtopher said.
Xtopher Posted August 5, 2010 Author Report Posted August 5, 2010 I edited the original post to add some more specifics (item requirements/time limit). If anyone disagrees with what I've listen please let me know and why you disagree. I think this arena would also make for fun guild events. Thanatos card could be added to the guild "drop list" and the whole guild could party up to spawn/kill Thanatos. This will promote more guild activity and possibly more loyal guild membership. Let me know what you guys think.

Same way event coupons only favors people who wins event.And are you 100% sure that a new player can win an event?Old players can win it aswell,Because event is hosted for all the players in the game.So old player or new player anyone can win the event,It doesnt necessarily have to be the new player who wins the event. Your comment would make sense only if events are restricted to old players.But that would be racism.Players can farm ygg berry tix or hunt mvp cards to get thier DQps. Waiting for an event,and even after event is hosted they are not sure if they can win it,if they lose it,they gotta wait for another event,that is also time consuming. Even if they cant mvp ,they can still hunt ygg tix ,speed tix etc to get their DQps. DQps+Quest items+ zenny would be fair enough. Edited August 6, 2010 by maxlittle007
maxlittle007 Posted August 8, 2010 Report Posted August 8, 2010 (edited) It seems like a thanatos summoning scroll has been introduced in the event rewards npc for 50 event coupons. They say its to promote events among new players.But how will it be promoted when players reward is just a 0.01%.Why do we play events?ofcourse for event coupons so we cant get rewards.We use 50 event coupons just to get thana junk?The price is high and the chance of getting a reward is 0.01%?I dont see how that would encourage players. Let it be 50 or 100 or even 300 event coupons for that matter ,but the coupons they use gotta benifit them in some way.Just summoning a thanatos and getting its junk for 50 event coupons woudnt benfit players in anyway. It should be reduced to 7 event coupons.50 is too high for a 0.01% A thanatos npc where it would ask DQS or quest items or both will be fine. Edited August 8, 2010 by maxlittle007
Veracity Posted August 8, 2010 Report Posted August 8, 2010 Accepting this suggestion as we now have summoning scrolls for Thanatos, which was inspired by this suggestion. Keep up the great suggestions! (: PS: maxlittle007, the summoning scroll for Thanatos has a .02% chance of dropping the card. It's not much of a difference, but it is definitely helpful.
