GPQ and its importance

GPQ is something that has already been discussed multiple times (here, in-game, and in the chat box) and is in the works, iirc on the priority list its on the same ranking as APQ (which is high). Though idk how the priority list stands now as that was a while ago but our coder is situating into a new living space and job so patience is key.

 

I have been patiently waiting for GPQ for about 3 months now



*twitch*

 

I'm waiting for all the deaths those earrings cause. :>

 

seeing how 2 admins and 2 GM's read this thread and haven't replied should answer your question

I'm not gonna bash anyone in power but I think that answers your question , aswell as APQ for apples , it's been MONTHS since it's been brought up and I really dont foresee us getting either gpq or APQ or even ToT for atleast another 6 months ...

would be nice if we could get a timetable , so we can know SOMETHING but whatever

I guess "us getting it soon" is the answer

 

I felt a need to speak up since our developers seemed to be getting attacked here; they've always been working behind the scenes and believe me; they're at it constantly. Since the day I joined, I don't think I've seen a day where Kim has slacked off or any of the other staff for that matter.

Please trust me when I say that our administrators/developers are working dilligently and new content is going to be pushed out sooner or later. There's a reason that ETAs aren't given anymore and it's because there are more complaints with them than without.

Anyways OT, I would also like to see GPQ as well since it promotes some healthy competition and establishes more guild spirit.

 

You can also get Sight Tao's as rewards I think.

That alone makes me want this more :$

 

never heard of it

 

i want to make GPQ more active.
my suggestion is to increase rewards.

add Shadow Claw 20? (only obtainable via hunting Brextons)
add Taunt 20? (only abtainable via hunting red Wyverns/Griffey)
add Sharp Eyes 20? (only obtainable via hunting Cold Sharks)
add Sight Taos? (not sure if they actually already added it)
add decent scrolls? (maybe some 30% INT scrolls or 30% Glove ATK)
add Pouch 1or2? for Ergoth? (pouch 3 would be too much i believe)

 

this is very much related to cwk crafting so i doubt it'll get added to gpq and it'd be pretty weird. Apart from that i second adding those SB's and it's been requested before somewhere but no action was taken. Pouch 2 would be too much for ergoth considering it's difficulty level, Pouch 1 (lower rate than rav) or even no Pouch would fit it i feel.

Sadly, with the addition of 24/7 nx drop ticket (used to be just event period), gone were the days of lpqing/gpqing daily for NX. Imo 24/7 NX drop tickets should be removed and only during event, slowing down the progress of an aging server and drives more reliance for HB inclusion. If removal doesn't happen, a buff in gpq/lpq nx drops should be fitting.
Would be nice to see more 30s and gacha locked items added into HT too. good job!

Also here are some other SBs that are pretty rare mentioned here. I'd much prefer SBs added to bosses rather than gpq but if it isn't going to happen to bosses, gpq seems fine

 

Maybe no pouch if they added the SBs. it makes those who are in need ask their guild for help instead of just hunting all alone and solo.
makes the game even more nostalgic by reaching out.

 

There are other factors to take into account besides the difficulty level. Ergoth himself is easier than Ravana, but the time taken and number of players required is much more.

A Ravana run normally takes anywhere from 1 minute to 10 minutes, while a GPQ run takes at least 15 minutes minimally (typically over 25 minutes). This means less Pouches gained per day.
A Ravana run can be cheesed with damage since Ravana almost never attacks if you do it right, while a GPQ run takes coordination and teamwork, and often you have to wait for other members doing the more difficult or time-consuming parts. This means it takes more work to attempt getting a Pouch.
A Ravana run requires only 2 players, while a GPQ run requires 6 players with strict criteria. Since Pouch Coins are commonly split between players, this means less Coins per run since GPQ has more players.

That said, I'm not sure which Pouch or what drop rate is suitable. Just wanted to point out that it's not sufficient to only consider Ravana vs Ergoth.

 

true, but using ravana as one of the weakest boss out there seems more fitting since pouch was suggested. For a comparison on party members requirements is also not very suitable, since you would then also need to consider the bonus stage/ NX rewards where ravana doesn't have much. How then will you compare GPQ with bonus and Ravana with no bonus? There is no proper comparison for bosses vs PQs, hence using one of the lowest bosses out there when pouch is being brought up, is somewhat suitable. Similar to why u don't see pouches dropping from cwkpq, cwkpq would've been a good comparison for gpq if no pouches were suggested. Hence, on my weightage, i gave more importance for bonus compared to boss drop for GPQ and since PQs usually have higher importance (aligning to the game design) for their Bonuses instead of boss drops, hence the pouch 1 and lower droprate.

 

sorry for bump an old thread, but anyone can list what is the current drops from bonus stg?

 

Taunt 30 and Ninja Storm 30

 

elquines and ifrif 30 also?
