  • And there resides the biggest problem of this game, ftp that have enough time are still stuck at a dailly amount they can play with actual results.

    imagine we could play 10-12 hours per day, that would in fact give us an advantage, but the game only rewards you for playing 3-4 hours, the rest of the time, you are online but not getting anything for it because there is nothing else to do.

    on the other hand spenders are incentivized to spend way more then those 3-4h could ever give to a ftp, not to mention the amount of stuff that you can only get in the shop and that right there is where the inbalance of this game comes to light.

    One simple thing would be to remove the stamina requirements from the game entirelly and add ways to get all atems available at least in 2 ways, giving ftp a chance to farm hours on end what they want and need, but that would create a new hole set of problems.
    so a quick fix would be impossible. Not to mention it would go against the business model chosen for this types of games.
problem with removing stamina is of course sweeping constantly to gain stuff i assume u want sweeping to be removed so we have to fight each time which i can assure you people wouldnt like that especially on mondays where people use their stamina pots usually . also it incentivises bot-ing if u dont have stamina to worry about u use a bot to do fights constantly which is awful and we all know how big a problem bot-ing is in MMOs

i will just say it again:

"that would create a new hole set of problems.
so a quick fix would be impossible."
so no i do not defend remoning it.

that means that a more permanent solution would have to be looked upon to balance the game since if you dont pay you can get 3-4h of work converted in rewards per day, while if you pay you can get way above 24h in rewards and that unbalances the game substancially. Not to mention some items are only available in the shop or events that require cuppons/ingots.

my first suggestion would be to make sure there are at least 2 ways of getting any item and balance the amount of stamina free players and paying players have (even on that field paying players get more stamina then free players).
Not to mention cave keys where free players get 1 shot every 24h and quite some times we get coins, dango or even purify runes.

but i dont see any of those suggestions being accepted so it starts to be a lost cause.

i do ask that if anyone has suggestion pls do post them, together we can come up with better solutions.

  • Well lets finally decide if the Great Plates event is worthy, or not, in the 3 days we had him for free.

    http://image.prntscr.com/image/a35eb507e49a44cba43c48cef34a516e.png

    4 seal fragments - 50 cuppons
    16 bbq
    200k coins
    2 advance refinement - 76 cuppons
    1 lvl4 life magatama - 135 cuppons
    1 lvl3 ninjutsu magatama - 45 cuppons

    If bought at the store 200 cuppons would have given me today 306 cuppons.

    so if we add day 1 and day 2 to the data for a cost of 600 cuppons i would have received a worth of 718.5 cuppons back.

    that would be a net positive result of 118.5 cuppons which is 19.75% increment at current shop value, and to that would add the value of the seal scrolls themselves since with a similar expirience the value would be already paid back by the wheel items.

    Personally i will not be buying the keys for the 3 seal scrolls because i already got what i wanted from the seals and i'm only saving scrolls now, if that wasnt the case and i had the cuppons i would consider risking it based on this small data pool, but it's up to each player to decide based on the data provided by several players, and not only mine.
IMO u cannot, insist cannot, assume the price of the rewards are 100% straight price from the shop. The price over there have been increased significantly over time to psychologically play with our head. Given all other options available, I will take the median discount rate from events for example 30% for original adv refinement price, and a significant more for magatamas because they have HIGH diminishing return.

Thats personally the way I see if an event is worth more than just the face value coupons costs. Then suddenly 19.75% means nothing.
A straight easy way to see it is a 30% increment instead of 19.75%, that will be equivalent to other events(opportunities) we have got lined up.

  • Nope, having free stuff that are takes time and dedication will earn favors pure ftp.

    The point of the matter is, if you want something in the game, you have to expend some kind of investment to get it, be it time or money.
    There is a limited return on how much you can get out of the game with time. By having a reasonable high requirement of time invested to get the full amount, ftp who can expend more time will gain an advantage over other ftp as well as compete with ptw who can't expend as much time.

    Think about your suggestion taken to an extreme, the ftp portion reward is so easy that you can get ALL of them with one click of a *on per day only, that anyone can do. Now, who is going to win the game? Ptw ofc, because EVERYONE can get the free portion, so whatever they pay in extra, they have over the free player.

    Whereas if the free portion takes significant but reasonable time investment, ftp can beat ptw who does not invest enough money to cover what they are unable to earn from the lack of time investment.
It will be an endless debate with you, but I understood your F2p's point of view.

Right now the game rewards f2p on a maximum level for being active at around 3-4 hours a day, combined with all the TI/SA etc, assuming everything can be completed and not missed, and given the addition that I am managing a group myself (The GNW, even logging pariticipation & contributions into Excel to cycle the rewards pack rotation, also helping other group members with their TI/SA or even dailies). This personally is on the borderline for me to keep up, let alone more daily contents are coming as they already are in China Server.

Have they made this more significantly tidious, p2w will lose the motivation to play as they will feel that this game is suited to the students or the less busy working community who doesnt have a social life. I dont think the game would want losing too much p2p or p2w, and unless u are a p2w, your comments doesnt not represent our sentiments so let's just agree to disagree.. And IMO, right now thats the direction we seem to be going.

  • day 2:
    4 puri prot
    1 puri
    5 coin
    7 bbq
    3 seal frag

    126.5 coupon, 250k coin and 14 bbq
    Total:
    354 coupon, 550k coin and 24 bbq

    Worse than yesterday, but not in the horrible range exactly. Coin more or less worth the missing coupon bit. Not nearly good enough to buy keys for, thou might be reasonable to go for 3 sealed for 60 at this ratio.
Day 3:
6 BBQ
4 coin
1 purification prot
1 puri
1 lv 3 magatama
1 lv 4 magatama
3 seal fragment
3 adv refine

value: 347.5 coupon 200k coin 12 BBQ
Total:
701.5 coupon 750k coin and 36 BBQ

Unusually good today, bringing things back into the positives for sure. Still not worth spending for the rolls in and of themselves, but if this rate can be maintained, getting another 60 for the seal scrolls might be a reasonable deal (1076.5 coupon, 750k coin and 36 BBQ for 600 coupon, almost 200% return, still worse than Lucky Board thou)

Get all the Summoning Scrolls, with leftover on coins.

Then since now you've stocked up on Summon Scrolls, your Week 2 and Week 4 Draw 10x2 summon is covered, so you can spend your monthly points on refines and threads. ;P

full review after seeing all the events.

1. Bond 8/10 - New features are always nice, but where are my cave keys for wishing tree, its a basic thing to add that helps f2p and p2p alike?

2. Gift Packs 0/10- 4 days and nothing has been worth spending ingots for.

3. Great Plates 4/10- 20 a day means 60 for free. 2350 - 60 = 2290 needed to get hidan, thats 22,900 coupons for him, during the last lucky board with him he was about 16k coupons. the rng didn't make this event worth the additional 6k price tag because lucky board gave us about the same reward value as spins here will. I got 1-2 advanced refine a day so it was worth something. if it had lasted 7 days i probably would have given it a 7/10.

4. Time Limited 4/10 - if this event had gone for the full 7 days it would have been a decent f2p event, at only 4 days its not worth much outside of a few frags or scrolls.

5. Daily spending 5/10 - There is no ingot only event as far as i can see so im not going to use this since i have 6k coupons to * through first and nothing worth using it on. if there was another event to spend my ingots on it would be worth doing for high spenders since the ROI is over 66%. If there was some synergy with it I would have given it an 8/10.

6. Battle Armor rebate 8/10 - It's just as good now as it was when i first used it, but since i can't get advanced threads outside the shop I can't use this without $500 of ingots which isn't worth 1 lvl to me.

7. Ninja Puzzle 7/10 - One of the best F2P events but i think the easy rewards are worthless, try changing the food to a lvl 1 mag pack or something. Can we just grab the German version of Ninja puzzle?

8. Limited Recruitment 0/10 - This event isn't as good as the newer treasure specific version. Never spending seals on this again.

9. Limited Shop 1/10 - I don't buy seal scrolls, I've saved 350 for free since December. Cloth is worthless to everyone since SA gives so much of it. Thread is too expensive, if it was cheaper I would get some advanced thread for lvl 7 BA.

10. Monthly Sign-in ninja 2/10 - I bought Amber because it says she is an event only ninja, and now your giving her away as the sign-in???I don't want her stars i just wanted her for collection. Is it so much to ask for honestly and clarity? I don't care if you want to make her a sign-in reward, but if you do I want to know its possible so I don't waste coupons on her and I can just wait


11. Monthly Events 4/10 - Considering what happened, you really shouldn't have had that first sentence. Its a free 8 seal scrolls and 33 summon scrolls. Also your pricing doesnt make sense, you sell 80 ningendo or gakido frags for 3400 coupons in land of lightning treasure. here they cost 100 coupons each from monthly packs. 43 coupons each vs 100 coupons each, how does that make sense? Hell the max I've seen pain frags go for in black market was 60 coupons each.

12. That's nice, will I finally have another ninja in the survival shop to 5* and waste some of these 200k coins? I had Deidara at 5* before you moved him without spending any coins.

TY for posting events early, it is something that is always appreciated. I hope it will keep up in the fututre, since the last 2 times it stopped after the second week of early posting.

dude, compare konan to whatever the shops has right now and tell me again she aint a premium ninja in that league??

FYI, Konan after skill-breakthru is worth it.
