Patch 7.0.2.2792 - Snowflake Festival, new Draco pets and Mirror World adjustments - Discussion

From the perspective of someone who likes enjoying playing this game, mainly cause i like instances i guess this is okay. More of a grind to get another pet but meh...How exactly do these draco pets work anyway? like another zodiac? like cenedrils? At least make it so it does not consume the Zodiac like the 13th dragon pet NPC.

From the perspective who's on the fence, I don't think this helps at all. People are suggesting ways to make this game less expensive / less of a grind and the pets are going against it, but for the ones who already have lots of elements, this is good.

From the perspective of people who have already quit. This is not bringing people back. Mounts maybe?
Honestly this probably appeals more to the collector's of rom. The card/mount/pet collectors and/or hoarders...

I don't know, i don't like the extra grind, but it's rom...kind of used to it...

I assume the pet was designed so that people will spend their spare elements on a full new set of zodiacss(and as such spend diamonds on charges) so that its in gameforges favor. Aka, more expensive game, which is what every player has argued against for the last few years.

This is just an insult really.

Mirrorworld adjustment came 9 months too late. A leave instance button took that long? Does it still bug out where you can enter an empty instance if you repeat it too quickly?

Stacks of zodiac elements, stacks of draco elements. What was the part of it people really loved? Transmuting all those godforsaken materials? The ones that essentially needed an addon to take care of it because it was that poorly designed?

All this for ~300 in stats and 3 mounts at the end, these mounts better fly at that point.

A real sysadmin knows how to change the time.
If you make the same mistake while trying to make up for the previous one, you are doing something wrong.

As much as I'd love to say I offer consulting services, the scope of things broken is too large.

Why on earth do we need so many pet systems? This game probably has more pet systems than any other game by this point, and none of them actually add any value to the game.

The mirrorworld adjustments seems rather arbitrary. They should have fixed NPC name tags, etc instead if they were bored enough to start making random changes.

we don't actually know what these pets do, from my understanding the +152 is from a single card. Also there is a card for damage. So depending on how many cards you can get, my guess 12 of each?, thats nearly 2k damage, basically 2-3 permanent tiers of damage for a respectively low amount of charges

Following is just complete speculation:
So IF you can get a draco card for each zodiac and each stage...and IF the damage card is the same amount as the example defense card.
just for numbers sake:

Newborn damage: 61*12 = 732
Adult damage: 91*12 = 1092
Legendary damage: 152*12 = 1824
Total damage: 3,648 DAMAGE
that's a lot of damage

i could be completely wrong. just speculating from what is given in the notes and how I read it.
The way i read it is you can get a unique draco card for each pet you turn in, so thats 12 newborns, 12 adults and 12 legendaries.

thought it could be good...was wrong...

Cloak OMG how you hit it right on the head!!! Not like the item shop manager would actually start playing the game to know what players have been asking for almost 5 years now, come on. That person for bug fixes is probably all the GM's and you just posted what they do to them when they even hint at that lmao. So sad to see Gameforge being so resentful towards customers, but every company needs a division or department to have loss of revenue for income tax purposes. so what better way to do that? push them away from the product to get real loses and then blame world economy for it not being valuable anymore and close down that division RIP US servers.!!!

Why are you surprised? This game loves daily chores. On that note, do you think devs actually believe these things are fun? I want to cut myself just thinking about doing more chores than I already do.

P.S. Who cares about any of these dumb things as long as they're more of a bonus to people who hate themselves enough to actually farm them and they're not taken into consideration when deciding how difficult future instances are.

lol they made mirrorworld even worse... instead of choosing which of the 3 instances in each catagory you want to do, now you have to do a specific instance...

And now mw is spread throughout the whole week instead of being on weekends, with each day having 2-3 entries, which is kind of a random change. Meanwhile friendly NPC's are showing up as red, bosses in instances are randomly resetting, but oh god MW needs to be available every day instead and that UI has to be tweaked, I'm sure that was TOP priority since nobody complained about it ever.

I like the new MW, cause all I used it for was the free transport back to Varanas. Now I get to do that every day instead of just on weekends.

And while they're at it, I'm sure they'll also change the design of what the MW tickets look like, I mean, its such an important issue, how can they possibly not address it immediately.

Where do those numbers come from?

personnal opinion on adding another layer of things someone needs to do to be viable... hopefully this hole draco pet thing is just worthless and only the collectors will have to do it...if it's not the case and the draco pets are worth getting then wtf. I think i'm not the only one who thinks keeping up with the level cap as far as gear goes is already hard enough at the moment without the need to get a million extra things. how long can a new player accept to grind before he can feel relevant. gear itself is hard enough, but you ask the player to get housemaids, zodiacs, max maid, elite skills(not enough exp for it from questline), cenedrils, siege titles and now draco pets on top of it? why isn't the focus more towards what players really care about: pricing of the item shop (namely +20s), class balance(mage feels like a worse scout atm), stats/gear availability(talking about good stat and od drop rates) and siege war.
