Give OOO Some Credit (Pros and Cons of the newest patch)
Wed, 04/25/2012 - 17:09
So, I see many of you all complaining about the newest patch, like it's the worst thing that could happen to this game. So, first we'll start with pets:
----------Pets (Accessories)-----------
Pros:
-You get a pet (which many have suggested before)
-It's a new accessory, containing rare monsters (<3 Mewkat, I might buy just a bit of CE just to get that)
-It's something new!
-May cause CE prices to drop a significant amount
-It adds pets, without really adding pets, since these are accessories
Cons:
-Expensive (170k Crowns! That's a little less than 3k CE)
-Only 5 days to get one from the vendor!
-It came after another promo, the mirrored lockbox
----------UV Binding----------
Pros:
-A set of high UVs will be easier to get on one piece of equipment
-A rise of Punch usage shall happen
-Higher UV gear is more accessible (could be good and bad)
-Still expensive, so it's not extremely exploitable
Cons:
-UV'd gear will drop in price
-Everyone will want to get Max/Max/Max or VH/VH/VH gear
-People who spent money for UVs might feel upset, a bit like I am.
-Makes it more of a UV game, rather than using basic gear and their intentional uses.
-------------------------------------------------
So give OOO some credit. Every patch will have some happy and some upset, you got to look at the positives and negatives. Don't just quit the game if you don't like this one patch, that's just plain stupid in my opinion (I won't point fingers). It's hard to please everyone, and truthfully, I assume most people wanted pets. There was the survey that you fill out, as well as the suggestions in the Suggestion Forum. Why just ignore this idea, like most? OOO has smart workers who know how to implement such an idea to try and please the majority. Don't lash out at OOO just because you don't like something they did, as people make mistakes. Even if you think this patch was a mistake, still support the game. It's given many joy, such as myself. I'm p2p, and I don't care what others say. I want OOO to strive, make this game better, and I'll advertise this game to my friends since it's my favorite (and I've logged in more hours on this than any other game). Also, to those who say "Why can't you do storyline updates?", look at Eurydice's response in a nearby rage thread and you'll see that there are secrets being worked on that we shouldn't know about, but will know about in the future. Thank you for reading. Feel free to ask for an addition to the Pro/Con lists as well.

So many people were asking for this on the forums (I come from the suggestions subsection) and no-one raised any issues with it there.
Punch was always broken (3UVs that may or may not be absolutely rubbish, should not cost that much, but now its justified) so this fix is a welcome one from me. I've seen quite a few games with a similar system, where applicable.

@Rommil The placement of the
@Rommil The placement of the accessory seems to be more of a... kangaroo system, if I may. Also, the UV mud-storm is going on because people are just going to spend all their crowns on punch now to get the best UVs when really they could use the weapons they have and do other stuff (with a UV or two on each, not necessarily being max)
@Hexzyle Thanks for the response, I don't play many MMOs, but I can see this idea being incorporated (based of what I can picture in my head).

I'd rather use 200k to make four 5* items rather than blow it all on a single weapon mini-boost. Just saying.

UV locking I guess only
UV locking I guess only bothers those who spent a fortune on rolling for a good [a gamble], and the supposed repercussion that UV customization causes even more elitism further down the class structure.
Then again, if prices fall [which is bad how?] on UVs and Energy, it means more people going further in the game with stronger gear. I will agree with the idea that locking ruins the randomness of it, but it's random to get that first UV to lock in.
[granted I have no reason to use punch/ too poor]
I like Sk's "pets", a nice cosmetic crown sink that could help keep prices down, if it's done like YPP's golden boxes.

@Toxic I agree completely, as
@Toxic I agree completely, as the prices are still relatively high, and their's still luck as to the UVs you roll. You can roll several bad ones before locking in a second, wasting thousands and thousands of crowns.
pros:
--the "pets" on the front of the costumes. tho that lizard in the waistband seems like pedo-bear material to me.
--they have temporarily figured out another way to keep CE down a touch
--new character creation is a lot more user friendly for starting out in the game (i played around with it)
cons:
--the "pets" should be on our right hip (like béchamel, but right side, since parrying blades are on our left side)
--the whole UV mud-storm that is going on in the rest of the threads. [i am a card-carrying member of the con-party]
