| Post subject: | Attracting new player base! |
Hello fellow Gamers and Devs. A quick introduction before i get into details. A year ago i tried the game and i did really liked it, until the point where it turned into a pay to win model, asides from that there were few good, lacking additions to the game that would attract even more player base that game never seen before. I mainly stopped because not only it did lack another payment method but also lacked content for a pay to play model, which i was viewing as an option. Now i'd like to pin point good sides of the game and the lacking sides. Good: 1. Game graphics 2. All the time wasting elements are removed (no quests, no travel downtime between quest/battleground hubs) 3. PvP system. Lacking aspects: 1. Character Customization (classes/races mix need to be improved, also giving gender option and general "barber shop" customization) 2. PvE element (no, not quests. Rather raid zones with loot, boss zones with loot, player vs mob waves zones, with loot) 3. a Player hub (not just chat, but a city of some sort where players can see each other and show off their trophies - gear, mounts and etc.) 4. Deeper character progression (two types of talent systems, one ability system the way it is not but slightly reworked and another skill point based) 5. Pay to play server or if you can merge the pay to play players with others on one server, than to accounts (basically, give the pay to play players all staff that standard players will have to pay for in online store). 6. Crafting station in the player hub. This is a lot of work, but surely it can be done. This will open a lot of marketing opportunities in North America, where people don't mind paying a fair premium for a good game. Also will keep and probably make happier the old client base. Once finished product is release advertising through facebook, gamestop online store, steam will be an easy job. Once people see that they are being offered a good content for the buck they will go for it. Currently the MMO crowd is declining because companies keep feeding people with time wasting things like pointless running to quest hubs, leveling through quests and etc. When people only want pvp, and end game for pve (raids, player vs mob weaves and etc.), well also a place to show off trophies for the "cool" factor. |

Well, i like this post. You know why ? Because he is sharing his opinion and ideas. Doesnt mean that i like or agree with everything he says, but at least he is not complaining. This is normal feedback from player. Like it should be. You complaining people, should take an example. |

Nice post, I agree, more customisation would be awesome. We are slowly working on it. PvE: new map coming soon with new boss. In the meantime, try my PvE challenge  and you can use all the crystals to max out your customisation options Player hub, again, would be awesome. It will be here some time in the future. Problem is that we are a small studio which means less devs which means more work, and less people to do it. We have lots of ideas, it just takes us longer to work through them

i just have to look at 1 thing : 1 message from this guys, it's not like many people say all these things in the past year, ah yes that's the case. i would like to see him writte the same thing peacefully after more than 1 year of playtime and aim for top. but still good to see that some people want it to work it better even if financials ( that rules panzar ) doesn't rly care about all our suggestion. like someone say who are we to say what must improve?

People  See the difference and impact on complaining and feedback. Game already changed after years i played. Only for better. I was enjoying it back then, enjoying now and will gonna enjoy in future for sure. I personally dont like PvE. So im not exited about raid bosses and so on. Player hub, would be pretty awesome yeah
