So why can't we get the same DNP feature as NA

[Chocorroles]

Farming is over so it's not like we can farm valuables to sell for DNP.

They can buy more things with DNP, and get 500 DNP coupons sent everyday if you have a level 95 character in your account, and total DNP resets after maintenance. There you have an incentive to log in. People are gonna top up cash for the things you can't buy with DNP or when they need an item whitin a timeframe. CC never allowed people to buy discounted items (except the very old costumes), costume packages or Gacha boxes with DNP and those are the items people sought after the most anyways.

If the fear is people abusing the DNP they saved under CC, which shouldn't even be a problem because everyone back at CC panic bought when they heard about the changes including me, just reset it.

All of this it's just bizzarre to me. Nobody wants potions because we get so many in-game already, and cosmetics are barely updated.

I feel like this move was made because "if we cut DNP, these people will top up" when hardcore DNP farmers were the people who weren't gonna top up to begin with because they don't have the adquisitve power to do it. I knew plenty of people who religiously farmed for DNP and were indeed people who came from a humble background who played in really bad toasters or internet cafes. The appeal of being able to buy cash items without having to use real money gave these people an insentive to remain in the game, make it populated, everyone finds a party or someone to fight with PvP, and the healthier the game looks the longer and the more paying customers invest in it. If people grow frustrated with paywalls, they are either gonna resort to illegal transactions or quit.

Hey remember how Nexon NA convinced Eyedentity to make skill resets and horns of life free in DNNA because putting them behind a paywall doesn't create more customers, just makes people quit and hardly anyone kept pets for a long time? Something like that.

And I'm pretty much saying this as someone who has both topped up cash and used DNP. If anything the reason I haven't topped cash lately I because I don't like any of the costumes released in the last 2 years more than what I currently wear and costumes I wanted were never released in SEA :^(

If im not wrong they said that would've give DNP frenquently in events, 2 months already since transfer and nothing except for the 5k by transfer xD. I think the only that you cant buy at NA's cash shop with DNP are the Dragon Eggs (Gachas), i was expecting all to be just like in NA with the transfer, got pretty hype because unless the guys that i asked lied to me, they can share cash epic weaps and the equivalent of red cash rings here via storage, also sell epic weaps at TH (as well as at KRs and dunno what other DN's servers), so... Gachalicius...

Anyway, I hope they do something about DNP's purposes and/or utilities

Frequent DNP events to buy potions and cosmetics we have had almost since the beginning!

[RANT] If I get selected to attend the meet and greet in PH, I will definitely be raising this topic (included it in my email application). DN SEA has the worst cash system AFAIK among all servers atm. Here are some sad facts to back it up:

1. Can't buy anything with our DNP except for hairdos and dyes (CMIIW but I believe servers under CC still has the old dnp system?).
2. No DNP events/free DNP yet despite promises by ED except for the free 5k DNP transfer reward (DN NA has this).
3. Can't transfer epic weapons in storage (other servers have this).
4. Cash accessories from Gacha boxes can't be sold immediately at TH; would require TW (KDN has this).
5. Can't buy jelly and other cash items using special pts (JDN has this).

We have no means of buying cash items except with our inflated gold (cash items sold by those who buy EYET/EYEC), measly 5k DNP and EYET/EYEC. Free players, therefore, have to grind harder than ever before to buy cash items in TH, but with the new FTG system, they/we are literally screwed. The only consolation free players have is the exp events from ED which allows them to grind with multiple characters to compensate for the limited FTG. But this, in turn, floods the channels with under-geared characters which make the geared ones more cancerous in picking party members. Overall, the situation is still grim for our server.

If ED wants our server to last longer, they have to implement at least one of the cash features from other servers to compensate for our old DNP system.

so true ~~~~

[Chocorroles]

I didn't wanna add oil to the fire but putting jellies and slot extensions behind a paywall is on the grounds of p2w as these things actually count in Ladder.

[PhiliaBomb]

It would be great if ladder is working again then. Right now we don't earn any points there.

[darkb1ader]

That's easy, ED wants DN SEA to shutdown LOL

[Joon]

I'd like to add these:

- free inventory + storage expansion on level up boxes just like other servers
- magni, reset scroll etc can be bought using points

tbh, i didnt think using dnp at beggining is good, here is the reason:
-it incerase currency rate and trigger inflation
let's say 1 dnp = 10g, then people will sell expensive thing on dnp. then it was no reason to farm gold because than farming gold, better farm dnp and i can buy thing that was not sold on gold.if i have gold, then trade it to dnp. i play old games, and hyperinflation kill the game,and some game closed cuz of this matter

-no safe way to trade dnp>gold
there was lots of scammer out there, unless developer introduce new way to exchange dnp>gold, dnp drading is quite dangerous

-in real life situation, few country using multiple type of money. because using multiple money type is unstable. country that using multiple money type is usually in chaos, this also happen at dnp-gold relation in dragon nest.

solution: remove dnp, change all dnp player have to gold, and make cash item treadeable with gold at trading house

[Chocorroles]

You misunderstood the entire thread and NA's DNP feature. DNP is still untradeable, there's no DNP option at TH, and there are no DNP coupons so nothing of what you say will happen. DNP in NA and in all other versions of the game is for your account and your transactions in the Cash Shop only.

The way people obtain DNP is coupons sent daily when you log in and events. These coupons cannot be traded and the DNP is reset every month.

[pancimania]

if it was like you said, i think it was safe though. i was tought it was like cc style dnp thing actually. i guess i misunderstood what you mean

[Chocorroles]

Yeah, that DNP feature was unique of CC. It was extremely convenient but I can live without it, and I certainly don't miss all the scam cases but that's more the community's fault than CC.
