Ravage Posted August 22, 2010 Report Posted August 22, 2010 I was thinking about how the server wants votes! Would it be possible to make an mvp room that you can summon an mvp for an amount of vote tix? like an MVP vote rewards npc in a room? example: 2 vote tickets for like eddga and 50 vote tickets for thana? ofcourse you can always leave certain MVPs off the menu. maybe the menu can also be seasonal just for kicks? im sure a lot of people would start voting in need for cards too. Drop rates of cards from mvps will still make it a challenge to get cards. It would also make it a little bit easier to make elite items as you play the server longer (if you vote). It can also serve just for fun when theres no GM holding an event or anyone in pvp. i hate the "vote for us" pop-up with a passion. maybe this can make it go away? :(
Veracity Posted August 22, 2010 Report Posted August 22, 2010 I like this idea, I'm all for making it easier for new players to get cards/equips/etc. and for encouraging people to vote. I'm not positive about the quantity of coupons though. If we could get more feedback from the community it would be nice. (: About the patcher pop up, I know it may be annoying but we are just trying to do everything we can to get people to vote. We have a lot of players, yet not a lot are voting still (or entering the code so it actually counts the vote). We should be able to maintain a position in the top 10, yet we're stuck in 11-12. :/
Sorrow Posted August 23, 2010 Report Posted August 23, 2010 i really like the idea, i believe MvP cards are essential to build up your character and they're precisely the hardest part for new players in my opinion, since we can quest for good equipments and vote for good headgears. Still, massive amounts of vote coupons to summon some MvPs should be avoided. At first i was thrilled with the Thanatos summoning scroll only to find out it coasts 50 Event Coupons...so i never bought it and don't ever plan to ^^" So i'd hate to see another great effort of the server's programers wasted on a resource that's not used/many won't explore.
Phenomenon Posted August 23, 2010 Report Posted August 23, 2010 Er, I agree, but I also agree with it being a high price requirement to summon. Don't forget, that people vote on multiple accounts, and even if it were to be a decently high price, like lets say 15 voting coupons to summon a Phreeoni, if someone voted for lets say 30 accounts, they would get 30 chances at a card in about 15 days. I agree with something like Angeling, Deviling, Ghostring, but not MvPs with highly demanded cards, and certainly not Thanatos. Even if Thanatos were 100 voting coupons, in 100 days an intelligent person could have 10~30++ chances at killing it, which is not good. I say keep with the untradeable items tradition, just make them worthwhile and a heavy price tag shouldn't be a problem then.

nines Posted August 24, 2010 Report Posted August 24, 2010 Hes talking about just like having accounts with multiple snipers or champions and moving gear to mvp. I agree on this though like veracity said. Id say maybe 6 votes for 1 Bloody Branch?
Ryuk Posted August 25, 2010 Report Posted August 25, 2010 I wanted to agree with this suggestion. But Phenomenon has a point. this would be quite abuse-able. So I'm afraid I'll have to disagree.
Ravage Posted August 25, 2010 Author Report Posted August 25, 2010 ohhh, yeah! f. they should ban people with multiple accounts... *cough* LOL
Wish Posted August 26, 2010 Report Posted August 26, 2010 This suggestion has some merit. Yes, it may be abuseable, but we could think of potential solutions for that. We may be able to implement this as some kind of reward as well. I'm leaving this open for more input on suggestions to see if this could work.
Veracity Posted October 7, 2010 Report Posted October 7, 2010 Bumping this to see if we can get more player feedback and if anyone has any ideas for how to prevent this from being abused.
killee07 Posted October 7, 2010 Report Posted October 7, 2010 Disagree, because of the fact that it could be abusable.
maxlittle007 Posted October 7, 2010 Report Posted October 7, 2010 Disagreed. The prices of mvp cards will go even lower.And secondly players will ignore the exploration needed to find the mvps. This is not necessarily needed, players can use professors to summon mvps using abracababra skill.
Adamxd Posted October 7, 2010 Report Posted October 7, 2010 (edited) I dont agree with prices for each MVP, people will summon only most worthy mvps, I suggest that it should be lottery what MVP you summon and same price. Easier is just add blokad branch to vote reward npc for eg5 vote coupons, we dont need special map for summons Edited October 7, 2010 by Adamxd
veg Posted October 7, 2010 Report Posted October 7, 2010 i have suggest idea like this b4 and got some major reject from others.. and that is totally suxs.. but in this case the GMs need help for solutions.. therefore i try to suggest a few here.. 1. MVP tix as rewards from vote npc, one time use only, use the tix to enter MVP private room and to summon the mvp we use either donation coupon or zenny or the GMs can create new item call as MVP coin perhaps.. the value of each mvp should remain constant. Also they should leave out thanatos.. Since we dont want any future arguement on it.. Note: for party hunting the leader is responsible for the party to enter the MVP room therefore the leader must have the tix. 2. lets say MVP outside the room is 10% and inside the room can be lower by 1% (for EXAMPLE only) since other players mvp fully hearted outside the in the past and if the new players come they must feel the same hardship as older /senior player felt.. 1% less is better.. 3. As shane said the price of MVP cards will go even lower due to this MVP room.. since i havent thought about this solution, anyone with bright idea can you solve this part? GMs??
Adamxd Posted October 7, 2010 Report Posted October 7, 2010 Yes my solution is fine, just add bloody branch for 5 vote coupons to npc vote reward and it's done, isn't it? You can go and summon MVP wherever you want
Phenomenon Posted October 7, 2010 Report Posted October 7, 2010 I agree with Adam. I believe an actual MvP room in which the player can choose which MvP they can summon at the cost of some vote coupons is a bit too much, given the price of our MvP Cards are already climbing lower and lower. Having a Bloody Branch as a reward doesn't seem too over powered.. but then again you have to consider people who vote for multiple accounts, and being able to claim 20-30 Bloody Branches, or even more, in a matter of 5 days. I don't see anyway to stop possible abuse with this suggestion, and I believe it should be rejected.
wiwi Posted October 8, 2010 Report Posted October 8, 2010 i agree with adam too 1. what happens if u die? game over? 2. what if 2 ppl choose the same mvp room at the same time? KS ftw? or ???? what i would add on, though...is to summon a SPECIFIC mvp. eg. if u trade 2 vqpon for an eddga, it'll give u an eddga bloody branch ...or something. because 1 can just make 500 accounts or something...and keep bb'ing until the person gets a thana?
Veracity Posted January 6, 2011 Report Posted January 6, 2011 I don't see any way this could work without people abusing it. It would be one thing if everyone actually VOTED for the server, but most people sadly do not. I am very much against the possibility of rewarding dishonest players and those who are too lazy or ungrateful to actually take the time to vote for the server to even consider giving the benefit of the doubt with this suggestion. We will try to address the issue of MVPs for newer players though. - Rejected -
