Ask NGD - Week 3

[v0rt3x]

Will the GUI be re-designed from scratch or only incrementally improved?

Beside this question, i have not found the answers of the questions from "Ask NGD - Week 1":

Can anyone help me or give me a link?

Magna weapons are very weak for the effort it takes to acquire them: Will they be revisited or will it be possible to add a third socket?

Is NGD still planning on adding expansions to the map? Or will these come after the current map is redesigned?

These, and many other items were removed from drop formulas when Lucky Boxes were added to the game. Just like how it was once possible to drop helmets with constitution bonuses. Many of the drops were redone, and in addition to that caps were added in bonuses. The max bonus for +Attack Range or +Attack Speed is 5%, max bonus for health and mana is +150, max bonus for +Hit chance is 25, and the max bonus for attributes is +5. (Note: This is the warrior/archer cap, mage drops will get a few more points, +7% AS/CS, etc.)

This all changed probably to put Lucky Boxes somewhere.

Does NGD have any plans to make super bosses drops completely random so that every class can have a fair chance to get them? As it is now some classes are totally excluded or have almost no chance to get the drops.

Would it be possible to expand the icon bar? The actual system is outdated in my opinion.

Will you ever update the UI? I have a lot of unused keys while playing the game, are there any plans to allow more key bindings?

When will you solve the boring grinding? This is stopping me from playing at this moment as I do not find this process fun or enjoyable. You lose players because of this aswell

Altough I agree with you, you must consider the fact that grinding is perhaps one of the most important things in a MMORPG, I would too find a way to gain lvl 50 without suffering, but I must admit that this distinguish real player from occasional player..

Will you introduce any kind of craft system to extend the magnanite weapons or make armor?

Among spanish questions they said that there will be no craft system since it's difficult to introduce in a free2play MMORPG without breaking ingame economy and premium economy..

Tricky answer would be "we will improve the gameplay and increase fun for everyone".
