  • I'm Sick and Tired of Pay to Win Events

      I'm sad that they're taking the quick and lazy path of getting our money like many other crappy games do.. Dragon Nest is a great game that is quickly dying due to Devs' greed.

        Same. In the beginning I didn't care, because it didn't always impact stats so heavily. I mean I even did a spending event in the nexon days for some cosmetics so i'm not without blame in showing that people will buy pixels.
        However now these spending "events" are normal and it's almost required now to have some cash stuff.

        (and you still can't sell or server storage half the stuff...)

          Solution: don't participate in these events then.

          I don't think you all are even really thinking this through other than just seeing "$300" and then going straight to the forums to complain.

          The Gerrant earrings have NO STATS. All they have is an extra offensive gems slot. You have to compare the stats of a (Refined) Gen Earring to the stats of a 95u Offensive. For me (though this is before the 9k bonus damage), it's only a decent upgrade (a couple or a few % boost) if I get an FD gem. Though, if you have a 3rd 95L offensive, it is a pretty significant boost, but none of you do anyways, so that's not really relevant.

          You don't even need to participate in the event to profit from it. Everyone that does will be adding 10 Ascension Cubes, and 6 U gems to the market. Hopefully, this means that Ascension cubes will drop from 65k, and decent U gems from 80k+. Obtaining legitimate L gems becomes slightly more feasible.

          Both Conversion vs Musketeer and now Gerrant vs Refined Gen are <5% dps upgrades. This is only really relevant if you were planning to be the main DPS on a first clear GDN/FDN team, which none of you are.

          Stop participating in events if you don't like them! It's as simple as that. Play the game at your own pace.

            You're right, it does say that. It looks like a copy paste error for the promotional image from the Lencea Awakening event. I still don't believe that it's getting removed, but it would be good to get clarification from a GM. I'll tag them in a separate post because you can't do it in nested comments.

            edit: Post is unapproved, since I linked the page (external link even though it's from the same top level domain :^(), but I tagged Nest and Lime.

            The thing about Voting with my money is that it doesn't stop the very few people that do. I think the person who paid end up with 100 vote compare to person who doesn't spend on this game monthly.

            Nest confirmed down below that DB is staying.

          The promotional image for Dark Banquet/Everyone's Banquet on the US Dragon Nest homepage displays an end date of 2/22. SEA's analagous promotional image has no end date, and my understanding was that DB was here to stay.

          Could you confirm whether or not it is staying?

          Thanks!

            Hello schultzaur, sorry for making you confused! Everyone's Banquet/Dark Banquet policy would be the same as SEA. There should be no end date on the image.

            Thank you for reporting!

            Best,
            GM Nest

          Well it's kind of lame cause they slapped p2w events consecutively

          They already have an event for clearing gn and vn

          just the game is super boring that it's not worth investing in. Sad but true. Gdn is catered to hardcore grinders and whales so unless u can break this gear ceiling you're basically stuck grinding vn and gn for another 6 months. Lol.

            Thank you Eyedentity for this INCREDIBLE event. These beautiful Gerraint Earrings will go well with my newly crafted Legendary Grade Dragon Gems with Final Damage.

            With the additional cubes to further refine my third set of Genesis Accessories I feel like I have ascended to new heights. A euphoric feeling generated by the act of spending on this truly amazing game.

            The money I and countless others have spent has made the server that much better with less disconnects and better response time. Truly a wonderful event.

            I feel blessed.

              idm cash grab events if it's every now and then but lol the amount we've had is ridic

              most of the f2p "events" are just exp boost/really trash or stuff that's already from other servers. make real events that isn't obtained by spending $$$. i highly doubt they will listen to complaints though considering they pretty much ignored every other complaint/criticism

                that's why I only login for DNP daily.

                get the DNP > get the mercenary box > close the game.

                I already have 27k DNP coupon just doing this. lol
                I miss events like musician costume (180 coins for full set).

                the game needs more events like this to make people be more active in the game..

                  Usually not the one to give many s**ts, but come on.. DN KR got the earring/necklace for free as an event gift... but we have to pay $300 for ours? Really?

                    We barely had any sort of real great event before, be it p2w or f2p. They are getting better over the months to be honest... For those that say they don'T listen to criticism : Look at what we can sell on the MP now. It's not retroactive but we can finally sell our future extras. We have permanent Daily DNP even when they tried to shut it down because we asked them to.

                    Since we have free DNP, they are technically losing profit, gotta get the money elsewhere. People saving up can buy a costume and other small accessories anytime insteand of buying ET/EC
                    Main : I'm back to Pyromancer LOL now, always open to help and all kind of stuff on DN, hit me up <3

                      I can see your point but here the thing Daily DNP for me they can take it back if they gave us something good in return. Retroactive Cash gear in MP sound pretty solid to me I'll rather take that then daily DNP. Another thing I would rather have then DNP daily Eyes Total Coupon in MP(Basically legit EC selling in MP) that would get rid of some gold bot need.

                      Maybe if they made it so that we want to spend money onto this way rather then just forcing these event down for fast cash grab. We wouldn't have many issue in this game and it would be flowing with many player to come. Oh and maybe actually doing what they said they would do. Karma Contract would be one of them.
