  • PvP Game Modes Upon Western Release

    Quote from mounsi
    Quote from Raederle

    Hi!

    To clarify, what I meant is that we don't currently have plans for, for example, a server where everyone can PVP. We will have other types of PVP.

    Raederle

    Even on the Cn and TW version there is no PvP or PvE server, you choose one of the three factions, one of the three factions is neutral, so the players of the neutral faction are never bothered by the other two factions and the Pk is punished by jail, so we will have a copy / paste version of the CN and TW versions I imagine.

    May I ask which faction the neutral one is? :x

    Yep!
    To add to what the lovely Tracy_T said, there will also be an auction house, as with most MMOs. Item shop costumes specifically won't be tradable, but they will be giftable from the item shop.

    So i understand correctly, there is also not a "you already wore it once, so you cannot trade it anymore" ? no matter what all things will always be tradeable/auctionable (except cash shop stuff) ?

    It really depends... most gears are not tradeable, like the ones you get from daily dungeons. Raid gears may have trading time within team. Certain level gears are tradeable from mentor to mentee but not all. And there are crafted gears that can't be tradeable once you equipe them. Some materials are just not tradeable/auctionable no matter how you get them.

    Oof, similar to Aion i guess then... RIP
    Thanks for clarification!

  • Dungeon lockouts.

    Yes! Thank you! you've worded it perfectly and concise! <3 <3

  • Localization

    Quote from Zhirelia

    It's sad that we can't keep the Chinese voiceover. So this will be in English.

    Text etc. will also be in English but in German and France as well.

    As far as I know Gameforge they won't change any names.

    I am super sad we cannot keep the Chinese Dub! I'd love that personally <3 buuut I am glad to hear that Names (probably) won't be changed! <3


    What about all the rest? There was a game for example, where in China you could "mob train" how ever many you wanted and then AoE and hit all of them. In the west it was "localized" so every AoE could only hit 5 enemies at max.
    Or as I said before, myhtology/legend/folktale based stuff might be changed because "the west doesn't know about it"? (just going off of past experiences here).


    Thanks four your answer tho! <3

  • Making Alts of the same class

    Quote from dbridg29

    On a prior thread it was said that you can run the content as often as want. But the key DROPS are limited.
    This is a balance thing. Some people can play the game four to six hours a day while others can only sneak in an hour or two.
    But if we can run the content as much as we want, we can help friends and guildmates run the content as they log in at their own times.

    I understand the need for balance but in a prior game I played it was critical to have as many alts farm the content for gearing. In that game you could pass your entire equipped gear set to any alt and that presented a balance issue.
    Farming for resources in this game, as mentioned Lady Dimitrescu, still is cool for alts of different classes.

    Yea i know, this is exactly what annoys me.
    If ppl gonna play an MMORPG, they should need to put in some time to get somewhere. Else a mobile game would prolly be better suited for those.
    Maybe i cannot play "a day" but only on weekends? how is this balanced then if i miss 5 drops a week? What if i can only login 2 days/mont? how is it balanced then? it's just an excuse if "balance" is the reason and not "we want people to play regularly for a long time".
    (i just hope recource farming is not limited somehow?)

  • Localization

    Yo ö.ö/

    I was wondering how much "localization" Gameforge is doing?
    Personally I abhore localization and hope that it will be pure Translation.

    I don't want any "Jelly filled donut" and als not a "people don't know the story with the golden axe, so we removed/replaced the quest" kind of localization. As well as them saying "Gege" and we get a <name>-translation (in fact i would even prefere them keeping the Xixiong and meimei and Shizun etc addressings QAQ) - or these kinds of things. So I hope someone can maybe tell me how far it will go?

  • Making Alts of the same class

    Quote from dbridg29

    There are limits to how much loot you can get from some content per day.

    In a prior game I have played, it was important to make alts of the same class as your main so that you could run that content on two or three characters and aggregate the loot onto the main.

    In this game, will we be able to transfer unequipped items to alts?
    Furthermore will we be able to transfer previously equipped items between alts? Or do items become bound once they are equipped?

    Resources from dungeons and raids can be share but not your equipment. Normal dungeon can be obtained once a day. and hard difficulty can be obtained once a week. Raid, no matter how difficult it is, it can only be done once a week.

    Oof, super disappointed. I hate for the game to dictate when and how often I can play D:
    Will there ever be a game again, where you can freely play however much and long you want, and then be away for however long you want without missing out on stuff (progress)? :(
