Wishful thinking.
Personally I posted ideas with the hope that if those at least got some traction we could stave off the most obvious one NGD will want to target, Reset Powers. Note that most of mine do not affect the game core, they are trivial add-ons that people with disposable income may choose to get. Also, the ones that really hurt game play like gem boxes, mounts, especially the armour enhancements you cannot drop and the platinum boxes could be either reduced in cost or depreciated to in game gold in some cases. Right now the drop rate of magical weapons, major gems, epic weapons and even special weapons are disproportionate to the premium/free game balance. The base drop rate needs addressing. Why not drop armour enhancers ? Where is the adage that you can get anything from the premium section in the game as regular player? The more notoriety NGD gets may result in them becoming more callous, be warned. As is, balance is not easy or fun work and as such not a pressing priority. Look how long it took just to make a simple change in the mechanics of knocks and some dizzy that to be honest, was not brain surgery. NGD made it look so though. Expect them to make a meal of how hard other components are to balance. Fixing old stuff is not nearly as energising as making new stuff especially when that new stuff results in instant payoff in the short term. |

Maybe in Argentina word means nothing.
This for sure unbalance premium/non-premium people and i remember in one interview Chilko(soory forgot where and lazy to search) told they will keep balance of the game and premium content will not affect the game-play. Wtv,in my opinion this needs to be addet for free drop with very low drop rate,but at least to be avaible as free content too.Look customise i can understand to be premium content because does not affect game-play wtv..it's NGD choise,but because of this thinks i never trust NGD's words anymore. |

Armour enhances MUST be drop-able !

--- White colour ...for painting armour would be nice... Furthermore, the MAGICAL GEM BOXES seem to be BUGGED. I tested the golden box on Amun. Result: 3x 6% Attack speed 20x 3% Attack speed nothing else You cant demand that much money for this sh*it Quote:

Well Frosk wrote that the Alchemist Manual is just an example. However the granularity of detail of how the examples were presented makes me very suspicious and uneasy.
NGD has been known to say X is not happening only for X to show up right after so I take any release with a grain of salt. Anyway, the Alchemist manual should never be that simple. I would rather have a gold level then a premium layer above it. I would do the formula in this way : Combine two similar gems of similar quality to forge a gem of better quality. There is a chance % failure and a small chance of one gem being destroyed. This is done in game and for gold in combination with a recipe scroll that you can drop from mobs. There are no limit to recipes they can add. I would start with physical catalyst recipe, elemental catalyst recipe, Insight catalyst recipe (for hit chance, AS ,CS). Of these 3 recipes you have minor, major and specialist. The level of catalyst recipe determines the increase % chance of success and reduction of chance of one gem being destroyed. From this formula you can then sell recipe scrolls and catalyst enhancers as premium. The catalyst enhancer significantly improves your chances and prevents a gem being destroyed . There are no premium catalyst enhancers for the major to great gem transmutation. This in effect keeps the premium from getting out of hand. In any case joining 2 majors will always end up in a major of higher grade or great of some level. The scroll drop rate will be low so not to break gem box sales. From here I would add secret exotic recipes that are drop only and extremely rare. These involve combining 2 (major or great ) different gems in combo with the recipe to gain 1% enhancement on armour of attribute (STR, CONC, etc). The success rate is very low and the premium catalyst only raises the chance of success to 40%. The gems would not be destroyed in this case. NGD is unlikely to do something like this. |

All i can say is be careful because i dont want this game to become premium players only. Try sticking with non attribute/power items plz
+1 to the necro burning one. I can definately see that bringing in some money.

This may be controvert, but these are only proposals.
A spy mission - Allow to all your characters a temporary change of realm for a week (temporary name change is offered too). Improve resistance - Increase a (single) resistance against damage for the armor. Can be used repetitively. Ex. from slash from "very bad" to "bad". Improve arrows - Allow to add the effect of 3 small gems or two great gems, to a pack of 5000 arrows. Sublimate effect Allow to transfer a single bonus from an object to another. The final object can be target of this improvement only once.

1 Question: With the Race change scroll, does it mean that we get also the attributes of the particular race? or just the appearance??
Regards.
