Platnium Boxes

[GoldLonatic]

As much of you are aware of, the platnium boxes to me are very good and effective for getting uber items very quickly and would make this game alot harder for the people who haven't gotten one yet if it was removed from the game but i've come to observe that at a time platniu, boxes can give the same items repeatively, that is, it'll give you leggings like 4 times in a row but each different and thats a real bummer when you are low on budget and you were looking for a breastplate so I believe and i'm sure all 300'000 other players of this game believe to that we should choose what we want. Now i'm not saying i choose as in scroll through a weapon/armour inventory and chose (although that would be a gift from god ) but i'm saying we should chose what kind just like how you do when buy gem boxes if you click a box you should open up to an option window where you can chose like for example in a knight if you click armour it should open up to a 6 option window that would say helm, pauldron, gauntlet, breastplate, leggings, shield and supposedly you click breastplate then you would randomly get a BREASTPLATE not a GAUNTLET or some other item you werent looking for so that way the random aspect of it is still established but at least we know were getting the item of choice

This has been suggested before a few times and I doubt that they're working on it. I think this would up sales a lot, but at the same time create a huge premium to non-premium player imbalance.

I would agree to this if non-premium players had some way of acheiving something similar within time.

Not exactly, I mean it's not like the items they get will be exactly what their looking for you kno? The may be looking for a mana helm but the got a resist something helm but all in all the wanted a helm and they got it that way the boxes randomness is more precise this would up sales by alot and for the non-premium their is really no change because even if they're opponents have box items whether this is implemented in the game or not premium buyers genereally have better equipment then them anyways that's why there non-premium and the buyers are premium

So if it's OP they keep it and non-premium gets leftovers? Nty system is fine as it is...

What do you mean OP? If you can get it from the box obviously its been approved by the NGD team as a non-OP item if they were OP items in the game you think you wouldn't hear other people complaining? and on top of that you make it seem like with this idea everyone will suddenly get the set of their dreams its not like that some people buy 2,3,4 up to 5 times before they even get a usable item talk more of an OP item? what are you talking about...

No, I think Gabburtjuh is right on this one. Although you may not get the item you wanted, the chance would be MUCH higher then. Non-premium players can't choose what drop they get either, so it's completely fine as it is.

edit: Oh, and there are indeed many OP items in-game. If you really signed up for regnum at nov. 2010 then you probably wouldn't know it, so I won't blame you.

Actually I've been playing since 07 and yes the chance is higher but notice the word CHANCE is still there and of course you can't chose your drops because you didn't buy whatever the creature is holding you get for free if non-premium players got to chose they're drops then there would be no point in boxes anyways I think this is a really good idea. Oh btw I play ra server. I can tell by the way you guys speak English that y'all are from Horus.

It's your idea.....
But there's clearly no point in arguing with you, because you won't change your point of view and because you are failing to see this idea from a non-premiums point of view.

Now, you can buy armor for example, get a good breastplate while you already have one and try it, for the part of armor you need, if you can pick whatever item type you want, you can just keep doing that over and over till you get a nice one, and you will try to sell all the ones that acctually suck, this has a few results:

1. The small item market in RO will shrink even more
2. NGD will lose money because it will get alot, yes, the chance increases alot since you have 100% instead of 17,67% chance on getting the part you want, easier to get what you want
3. This would improve abusability, since you can just buy alot of things of thesame type and flood the market with it, and get magns/boss gear fast for example

(didn't want to make a new post so: I am one of the premium users, it's not like it would give me a disadvantage...)

I just have to do a quick word on this.

Non-premium players are living the life. There is no significant advantage do being premium, other than the horse that gets you killed more often than not. There are only corners to cut, everything can and with this idea would still be able to be achieved without premium.

Most games with some form of premium content adds a huge advantage to the people that drop some coin. Some games you can buy your way to the highest of lvls with the best equipment, not doing any work. Some give such amazing equipment that non-premium players dont even have a chance. Non-premium players in RO have it so much better than that.

Im actually kind of sick of the attitude some non-premium players have. Its a harsh reality, but face it, premium people have a stronger opinion than yours. You are lucky NGD even listens to you, lets you make suggestions, try to change the game, without you even paying them a cent. Premium players help the game, help it build and grow. We support the team behind the game. We keep it alive. In a normal game with not so awesome devs, your opinion wouldnt even be listened too, they wouldnt care.

This all may come off as selfcentered and douchey, but really, be thankful that NGD provides you all the services they provide to the people that support their company.

To end it all, I do not agree with the suggestion of this thread. I think it wouls be too easy for premium players to get their gear. Im a premium player against this idea. The above was just my rant about how some non-premium players come off way too confident in themselves.
