Chardonnay-DN Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 @EMpulse Please implement some new system so that it is possible to farm luna as usual, I recommend going back to the old way where the player was able to by Taki's Missoin (Luna DG). please don't finish pushing away the rest of the players who still have it making the game even more P2W. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chardonnay-DN Posted October 19, 2022 Author Share Posted October 19, 2022 I don't see how new players and returnees will like this system, pls make luna free to play again and let whoever wants to buy in store, no need to remove farm free form 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arhangelos Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 (edited) We need the pouch back some way, we have daily quests anyways, they could put it anywhere if they want to. We were the first region to have the luna instance, (I think RU also had it) EU got it close to 7.something. We had it since 5.x if not earlier.

(a good thing in my opinion...) second, I actually hope you guys can somehow get NCsoft to give us more luna.... (I could use the extra luna myself) ... third, it's highly unlikely that any request past them giving us back luna farm quests ...is pretty much wasting your time... Ncsoft is trying to make our server as close to korea as possible... (without effecting the integrity of community/population) ... Lastly...I just want to make a point here...there's I'm pretty sure less then 500 total population per faction in our server (semantics') .................. If all 500 people get deava pass premium from free luna then how does ncsoft...make money.... at the current rate you can spend a month or so farming for premium...or NCSOFT can make their chunk of cash for you to get it day 1... it's like saying I should have been able to pre order destiny 2 lightfall for free and never pay anything... F2p works like this.....either you grind to get it for free and it takes time(key word here) and effort and you will be rewarded for your time and effort... or there is always p2w or pay to get it day 1 or before its released(pre order's).........when I pre ordered Destiny 2 lightfall I got items you can't get at all without paying... you guys are already getting it free...at least you get it... at all... without paying..., I spent years watching p2w get adv stigma and S rank minion's and transformation's and many other things that i had no chance to get for years.... You should all be grateful for the state of the game atm...you can pretty much farm anything you need for free accept transformation's...be grateful you were not here during the event that gave p2w who spent 1,000+ infinitely enchantable weapons........literally someone on asmo had a +35 weapon......yeah...uh...f2p against that...I did...and I got screwed from ncsoft changing the game...guess what though years later now that everything is farmable for free...I'm here making post's like this because I've learned to realistically look at economics' and business... I would like to end this post by referring the reader back to the sentence marked with ""! Edited October 20, 2022 by Arkaida-KT added something...

Arhangelos Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 (edited) P2w people would still pay for it even if the luna pouch existed. I have seen people spend thousands per month in the game, they won't be sorry paying 50$ or something to buy the daeva pass. So bringing back the pouch won't make a dent in the pockets of NCWest because the people willing to pay for luna will still pay for it. F2p people won't pay for luna now that it is p2w, they will just not participate in whatever luna is required which only increases the divide. F2p people wouldn't farm luna pouches to buy the daeva pass either. Luna is used in many more things and most people keep them for those purposes.

Nobody mentioned the daeva pass. The daeva pass is indeed a much better feature than lugbug, you do not get rewards by doing the quests like lugbug, instead you get points and unlock steps, so this means if you miss a quest, you didn't miss the rewards of the daeva pass, you just have to do more quests to get enough points and if you miss a lot of days you are given the chance to buy some steps. The rewards are also better, Lugbug had RNG rewards while the daeva pass has paragon enchants, ultimate enchants and plastic surgery ticket and they are not given by RNG but are solid rewards. Lastly the memory shards for the transformations are also a fixed amount so less gambling on that too. ~~ The plea for luna pouch is almost irrelevant to the daeva pass. Luna is a currency required to get the buff for instances, special retune for items and craft things from the luna workshop including the kinah box.

I am only concerned that from now I cannot do fine retuning of the items unless I actually pay money. I would never waste luna to buy the p2w daeva pass myself. But anyway, I will wait to see what NCWest decides. This is not the first time they made a change based on player input. A luna pouch would only make the game slightly easier for f2p people, the p2w will always have the advantage, and p2w daeva pass isn't even one of them, that is merely convenience to them.

I know this server is 95% pve players and didn't know it, also arenas is free. Pretty sure the most people who do arenas are the ones who massively out gear everyone and most likely spent a lot of money. To not incite an argument, I used the words "mostly". Do you really think people who are free to play want to queue into a player who 3 shots them to either have to work for months, maybe over a year to get luna to unlock premium or end up with nothing at all? Does that make sense? Plus a lot of the over geared people afk most days in town etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheyrena-DN Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Technically, we can still earn the crystals to craft the Luna ingame. By doing The Secret Munitions Factory on Maedrunerk's Island under the Taki's Missions in the Luna Shop interface. You know. The one free entry per week instance. This is really disheartening, frankly. I don't use Luna for too much beyond the occasion rez in Apsaranta and putting items into the wardrobe which is a (now) unpleasant 300 Luna a pop. But, I (we) used to be able to get Luna crystals everyday and saving up was relatively painless and I have too many outfits that still need to be 'wardrobed'. (Still more sitting in my warehouse that can't be put into the wardrobe but i can't bear to lose the skins...let's not talk about that here....) Almost as disheartening is that the community can't seem to have a reasonable conversation without resorting to name calling and insults. Yeah, I know. I've been here long enough to have seen it all before. Just wish folks didn't have to pick on others for their preferred gaming habits. ~S~ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, it doesn't really matter how much we raise the issue about luna acquisition, if the people in charge main course of action in such matters is to ignore until people conform with whatever decision they decide to impose on us or just leave the game, so we can debate day and night, if those who can actually make the changes just ignore, it really leads nowhere. @EMpulse Edited October 21, 2022 by Fenn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this server is 95% pve players and didn't know it, also arenas is free. It is not 95% pve players. First Elyos always have been PVE kings and still are - thus gear and other char improvements come easy. Asmo have to farm like crazy just to be able to not die in 2 hits. There are far more Elyos looking for pvp now because Asmo are trying to catch up (not going to happen) - but people will get decent in a few months and probably go looking for pvp. Siege tonight - everyone enjoyed the pvp. Aion has always intended to be a mass pvp game or, when we had them, pvp instances. Some enjoy duels or 1v1, arena etc. The problem is the server is extremely unbalanced and getting worse! Anyway yeah everyone send your alts in to arena and afk til get 5 done. Can do the boring luna weekly for 20/char. Someone mentioned praying opening luna materials box. Arena is now pve, enjoy it platino! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chardonnay not everyone in this forum is here to help...some people don't agree you should get any more luna!!! Some people actually think that anyone asking for more luna right now is a big cry baby!!! (the game already has a lot of P2W things and you don't need to have ONE more thing that was free before becoming P2W) as for this comment...you should practice what you preached in this comment (you don't rule other people's game)...This Game is NCSOFT ALL RIGHTS RESERVED!!!! and guess what...if you want to play aion at all NCSOFT must make a profit...get over it...you see everyone want everyone else to listen to their voice because to them there opinion matter's, problem is when someone disagrees instead of making valid argument's they break forum rules by calling other player profane words and telling them to shut up...it's a double standard and your a hypocrite.... I wish arena times were more EU friendly. However, I think we can agree that new/returning player has no chance to win arenas to get to the appropriate rank. hey malloc just want to put out there that the new arena is all leveled out specifically so new players have a good chance in pvp.... The arena is leveled out when there are enough people applying, sadly with the population we have now this isn't the case. So you still lilely to end up versus the wallet warriors. Agree with malloc the time slot for the arena is horrible for some timezones (especially eu), if they added one more slot a day other times zone could participate in the ranking. Maybe more competition in the ranking would be fun for the na peeps ;/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the early days 2008-2011ish there was the original dredgion (super fun no shields) - anyway it ran 3 times a day in EST 3:00 PM, 11:00 PM, 3:00 AM so it accommodated people on other schedules. Would be nice if they brought that back and elyos can bully us in gravity or at our base for 45mins. But seriously they could schedule stuff like that and would be good for the community. Right now agent is like 6-8am and 9pm or something and a lot of people cant make siege time etc.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asking questions about a feature being removed is not crying, stop belittling people that want an answer if some other daily luna acquisition is considered being implemented(after having such feature for more than 7-8 years until now), if you think its useless, thats fine, but dont go attacking people that disagree. As to the uselessness, there are things in it that clearly give an competitive advantage for those who unlock it. First the Holy waters, 17 of them per pass, the relic gives massive stat gains when leveling it, just at lvl 100 you are at 9000HP more, 400 attack, and another 400 in defense and 700 or so crit hit, thats at level 100, which those who unlock like 5 deava passes get it instantly, while the rest of us need to grind for several months to even catch up. Another thing is the 30 day title, gives another 6000hp and 400 pvp/pve attack, again a massive advantage you are now at 15% more HP, and 800 attack. Third, you get Ultimate Breath of Transformation, which means you can basically get at least 1 Ultimate transformation monthly, to complete the ultimate collections by combining, thats 240 Crit Hit Damage, 24% more damage while dealing critical hit, quite useless indeed. So again, it might be useless for you, fine, we have established that, repeating it 100 times every time someone speaks against it doesnt make your point more valid, when your whole argument is "Stop crying about it".
