Question about AP Resets.

hi guys

a lot of people have been talking about AP resets and what to do about it.

My question is:

Why?

What is wrong with the current AP reset situation?

A lot of people have different opinions about why they are against changes.

What argument is there FOR changes in the first place?

 

Thanks for the response Sucre:

Follow up question:

What reason is there for needing to change it to a lower price?

- Have changes been made that make HP washing and the speed at which it's done necessary and must be done faster ?
- Is there an inherent unfair advantage towards new players that prompt them to require more readily available AP resets compared to the already washed players ?

 

yeah of course, players who have been here a while have the advantage of having accumulated stuff for longer.

Were AP resets cheaper in the past ? Did older players have an advantage in this way ?

Or by keeping it the same would it then be fair to all ?

 

and what reasonable arguments are there that would make it logical to reduce the price of AP resets ?

 

Yea not trying to start any debates, just want some objective information.

What is the motivation behind reducing AP reset price ?

So far there is no reason.

There have been no changes made which affect how obtaining AP resets is any different than it has ever been - which means there is no reason to re-balance things by means of price reduction, etc.

Unless there is any inherent changes which prompt AP reset prices to differ, then there really isn't any justification to change anything.

 

"The things I really want improve over the coming time is making the server less tedious, while keeping the difficulty of the server, in hope to find a sweet spot for majorly of the users that look for a hard server, but still a fast paced one." - Kim

"Tedious:
-Forced boat rides - there's no difficulty in this. You are only waiting, which slows down your pace of playing
-Getting specific hair styles from EXP coupons - once again there's no difficulty in this, its all about luck
-Rolling the dice - once again you are tediously rolling the dice until you finally get the roll you want
-HP washing - this feature has mixed opinions for a lot of people, but in end you need vote for months to buy limited AP resets, and there's no way to speed this up
-General Gachapon or Gachapon exclusive items"

ok so based on this logic, it's very likely they received complains ( takes too long to HP wash ).

HP washing objectively takes advantage of the game mechanics and makes things easier at a lower level - the only catch is that this takes more time to wash( this means that it affects difficulty, which Kim does not want to impact too much ).

Therefor, objectively speaking, if Kim wants to keep the difficulty the same, HP washing should remain relatively unchanged since HP washing makes the game easier. Yes its tedious and annoying, but that doesn't make it wrong or bad - it's perfectly balanced in my opinion.

If you want early level advantage to be able to boss, you have to wait in order to make that happen. Why should someone be entitled to make a new character, abuse the system and get everything they would have had to wait many many months in order to level up to the appropriate level to earn fairly ? That's called altering the difficulty, and if it was made possible to wash really easily, this would affect the game in a way that leaves no options for non-hp wash players - HP washing would have to become the normal build which lets face it - it's not an actual mechanic of the game and therefor becomes as lame as using speed hacks, or vac or some other form of cheating in order to keep up with the rest of the players - which IMO would harm the authenticity and value of MapleLegends.

Imagine in Pokemon if everyone had to clone rare candies in order to reach lvl 100 fast enough and use every exploit in order to perfect their pokemon for battle ?

Who would want to play in an environment where everyone basically has to cheat in order to compete ?

It makes the game less desirable and taints it in a negative way.

I'm not saying people should or shouldn't HP wash, but if they want early level advantage, then the balance is that they should be made to wait.

That's balance.
