Ok, this reward business for the invasions is a horrible idea

Post by raynes »

I just was online and there is an invasion going on. During this you kill mobs, you get body parts from them. Then you take the body parts and turn them into a NPC for tokens. Then you turn in the tokens for various rewards. Sounds nice right? Wrong.

I'm going to use the claws as an example.

10 Kitin Claws = 1 Average Token.
1 Average Token = 1 Prime Token
5 Average Tokens = Fame
5 Average Tokens = 5000 daper

The rewards for cost 20, 30, 40, and 120 Prime Tokens.

Now the problem is that you can only turn in 10 claws per mission. And you can only turn in 10 average tokens for one prime token at a time. In addition you have to take a mission, answer some questions, and clear the mission for each set of claws or set of average tokens you turn in.

This turns into a time consuming nightmare. I just spent an hour and a half turning in about 300 claws. I spent 20 minutes fighting in the invasion. See the problem?

To make matters worse here places are being invaded. It is suppose to be a time when people run out and fight the Kitin. Instead the majority of players were either sitting around not knowing what to do or they were turning in their stuff for rewards.

I understand you want to make some sort of reward for the invasion. But all you have done is completly ruined the urgency and feel that the invasion is suppose to bring. Instead of fighting the Kitin, I spent more time trying to get a reward.

Dump the idea of giving loot rewards for invasions. Or at the very least redesign the system you have setup now. Invasions are suppose to be times when all the players go and fight off the invaders. That is not what is happening.

At least you can make events. The entire community on the West Coast that works doesn't even have a chance to get off of work and make it there. By the time I log off and get home the event will be over.

Word! makes me sad to see the events come and go while I sit here at work and pluck away endlessly when I could be partisipating. I hope it is still going on when i get off.....if not then it is another event I missed :(

Actually i think this is a long term event and i also believe theres a reason to why u have to collect the mats. I posted my thoughts on teh english forum but i wouldnt read until u talk to the npc's in game and form your own idea.

oh and a happy new year to you lot on windermeer server :)

Raid is all weekend long I believe.

And yes, the reward setup is rather silly. Sure turning in mats is tedious -- but why do we have to recieve dapper?! I can make millions more by just digging and crafting then I could fighting eeeeevil kitin. Though it will be more dangerous to do so in the next little bit :)

The amp would be nice...q200 200 sap and 200 stam...but its only 20% boosts to ALL magic speed and power...so basically worthless for anything but a trophy.

And it takes too long so yes its pretty pointless...
