Vote NX

Honestly, I didn't even want to make a thread about this cause of how much different it would be from many private servers, including MapleLegends, even though it would be a lot more similar to GMS back in the day.

I know many of you might not see the bigger picture and would heavily oppose to this idea, but what do you think about decreasing the NX gained per vote from 5K to 1K? You're probably wondering, "How would that benefit the game at all?! I want a full set of NX gear as well as enough NX to spend on gachapon tickets!"

As with anything, the more difficult/rare something is, the more impressive or valuable it becomes. Back when you played GMS/EMS/etc, how many players did you really see with a full set of NX items? When I played, it was almost out of this world to have so much NX, especially at the lower level that I was (around 30-40 or so).

With 5K NX per day, you could gather up 35K NX in a week, which is more than plenty for your 3-month NX items. After gathering your NX items within a week, hypothetically, you could gather 385K NX if you voted every day in the next 11 weeks before your NX items expired, which would allow most players to possibly make WAY more profit from just gachapon-ing (the easy method) rather than farming for equips/scrolls/etc (the much more difficult method).

It really comes down to how similar and how difficult you want the game to be compared to how it was long ago. If you really wanted the server to be like the golden times, you would make gaining NX a lot harder, you would make HP washing almost impossible (which it kinda used to be), and you would make a scenario in which a player's funding correlated to how much time and work he put into farming and training to become stronger, not how many days he spend voting to gather up enough NX to make profit from gachapon without having to do any hard work. The real problem with players milking gachapon is that they don't even need to log onto the game. They can stay offline and vote every day until they make enough NX to become rich from gachapon.

Here's a picture of a bunch of players in the FM from 2007- how much NX do you see in this picture?

Thoughts?

 

You don't necessarily have to make Cash Shop items donation only, you could just reduce the amount of NX per vote. I don't know how much that would help as to avoiding the sue from Neckson.

 

It couldn't hurt to make a poll anyways, right? You're probably right about most players not wanting it, though. If only they could see the bigger picture, haha.

 

It really just depends on how GMS-like you prefer a server to be. Back in the day, if you needed 2 SP resets per day, most players would just remake their characters instead of spending the money for it.

 

As far as HP washing goes, it could be a possibility to make AP resets tradeable.

How many people do you think HP washed on GMS?

 

Oh, yeah, you're right. I don't see a problem with having NX drop from mobs so that you could grind/work to earn AP resets faster, though.

 

Any way of dispersing scrolls is good as long as it isn't primarily from the vote-abusive gachapon system, whether it's quests, party quests, bosses, or drops from mobs. Gachapon should be the worst way of gaining scrolls because it's too easy to abuse it.
