I'm pretty sure that is just incorrect. Transforms all last 10min, we all know this. This wouldn't be changed for our region alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magistone-KT Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 NCW can request custom changes that NONE other region has. This can be 1 of them. so in this case @Cheesecake-DN is correct Anyway I wonder when we will get to know the ratio of kinah -> gold bars / essence cores +5 and above -> gold bars. @Cyan What I really appreciate is the 2 weeks long Power-up so like almost everybody can have their stigmas +9 or enchant other things they want to. That's really nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlisonWonderland-DN Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 If transform duration is lowered based on the quality of the transform (assuming the information is correct), that means people who do have access to higher grade transforms have to decide between spending more money for better stats vs settling for lower stats for longer periods of time. It could be a good thing, since it provides incentive to use lower grade transforms, which helps people who can't or don't want to put money into getting good ones.

EU is already a mess and they're only 2 weeks into their patch, Gameforge has put Kaisinel potions into their shop. Not to mention, nearly half of the people or more didn't receive their free "promised" transformation contracts at level 50 (me included) Should we be concerned about that too @Cyan?

Out of all the things that could've/should've been adjusted for our region why transformation duration? Stop being stingy with the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seira-DN Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 @Cyan I have a doubt about this part: Supplements can no longer be used and can be sold to the vendor for Kinah. When I try to sell my supps on another region, they became unsellable or you mean for be sell it now in the current patch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think those who sunk lots of kinah or rl cash to unlock those transforms are going to use a lower grade just because it lasts longer when most fights end in less than 2mins and better transforms make a world of difference when killing bosses? I mean theres ppl out there paying $100 to win one arena... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Sand shop (the kinah/gold bar one) doesn't suffice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think everyone should be given out 1 Transformation Contract that's able to choose the Ancient grade at least, it's account wide and let's be real here, the whites and greens are for the sole purpose of fusing anyway. If they're decreasing the duration on the higher grade xforms, it's hard to kinda perceive whether that's gonna be a good or a terrible thing.

There surely will be people who will pick weaker transforms if it means less money out of their pockets. And for the people are whales and don't mind throwing tons of money to always have top stats, why not make them pay more for it? Helps support the game more, right?

There is nothing wrong in spending money in the cash shop, it’s your money after all, but the issue arises when the specific item is not fully available in game, but it is in BCM. This creates a huge gap between players that spend or don’t spend, eventually leading to disastrous consequences. Just look at EU right now and you can see the mess lol. If they make it equally available in game, it’s not that big of an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weizu-DN Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 @Cyan by buff scrolls would that also mean running/attack/casting speed scrolls or was there still an idea in the future for those to be traded in for something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was based off of a conversation we had at the office.

The transformation system is a big part of the update so we worked with the dev team to tweak it a little bit for our region. Once the update is live we will be watching feedback about that and of course everything else. We've got more information coming out before the launch as well.

Voltric-DN Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 @Cyan Will we still be able to open our scroll pouches and award chests -- like the ones handed out by organizations and quests -- after the update? Or do we have to open them before the update hits in order to sell them to vendors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What can change is the state of the item inside the bundle, as in terminated item or not (content will be the same though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's any plan for increase the kinah cap from the vendor before the patch arrives? 110m kinah its not enough for an entire account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
