Way too many people are quitting Please do something about it!

[Tortellini]

I don't think any of this will do much. It's too late unless they rebuild and overhaul the game in an extremely major way. A significant amount of people have already quit and got rid of their gear, sold their accounts or outright stopped playing and logging on. These solutions won't fix the overarching problems that turn people away or make long standing players quit. If there were some kind of concrete and detailed plan that the developers laid out on how they were going to change and improve things then maybe I'd feel better about the game's future.

There should have never been stats on cash shop costumes in the first place tbh. The stats have kept increasing and increasing since the beginning but it's so far gone past the point of absurdity. With the stat ceiling being so high now any semblance of game balance is out the window, the future raid has already been affected by it and players practically feel like they have to spend or else they will get left behind in stats. I've spent on microtransactions in other online games, but it was because I wanted to and not because I felt like I needed to in order to keep up with endgame gear standards. Things like Item protection jellies that seem minor are another problem as well. I mean it's an enhancement material whose generation is reliant on people spending on them and is required to even safely enhance your gear past a certain point? More recently I think it's bonkers that people have to gamble on items that let them look how they want without having to worry about stats. This isn't even getting to the content related issues that people have already criticized and want changed. It's just not worth the effort anymore to keep trying to explain especially when the developer is silent and Dean50 can only offer vague promises.

This game has so much potential but it's squandered at every turn and I and probably many others don't really feel like waiting for it to improve especially when some of the same complaints and criticisms have persisted for a long while. The alluring aspects of Dragon Nest to me are the unique combat, the animations and effects, how the game controls, the hitbox based nature of it, and even the artstyle but I don't think those are enough to outweigh the other parts that bring it down so much. It's not hard to find other games with better business models that are more attractive to a wide audience. Games with bigger populations, better support, a better game structure, better content delivery etc. It's sad to see only a couple of hundred people playing at most and seeing that number continuously shrinking because of poor game design decisions and management.

On DN SEA If you are not in Legendary Gear prepare to be kicked from 90% of the parties...
As it stands I would be more likely to recommend new players come to NA rather than SEA.

[OneMysteriousGuy]

There no hope left for NA. Even those who spend money on this server taking a break that say a lot. Most new players are confuse with reading all these thread don't know where the game direction is heading yet GM won't update us on the situation. Look like that dream of moving to Sea will be a reality soon. I make this clear Sea is not noob friendly at all so if your a new player you will find it extremely hard but look on the bright side with 100 US dollar you can buy 100 k worth of gold so......

[Tiyara]

A lot of this could have been fixed a long time ago. The same issues pop up over and over again when a chunk of the population leaves. Content is too stale, forums are dead, people are dickheads, the game is too p2w, no tradeable ec, etc etc etc etc etc...

Its always the same issues. eyedentity know how to make a game but they don't know how to operate it.

There is nothing they can do because they have no idea what to do with player criticism and suggestions. Personally, I will give them a few months and see if Zeus's thread had any impact on them.

Be sure to check out the leak on romniaty nest

which will be up in a few hours

[OneMysteriousGuy]

Couplord if you actually play in sea you will know most of the guys are lack experience and skills as the NA players so this statement is incorrect. I have Join random party of IDN HC and Rune 8 man and players keep dieing to the same mech over and over with Clear instruction and yes those player with IDN L evolve and genesis full set.

NA player would do well in sea if they transfer our gear over I said it already this server won't last even if they merge us with KDN that won't last our last option would be merge with sea I would be happy if we pay a fees to transfer our account over .

there are alot of problems with the game but i agree with the thread starter on saying that conversion costume / EC / economy is the worst ones
and personally i think conversion costume is the biggest problem personally as it is TIME LIMITED

[RubyArt]

IF your only problem with this game is the conversion, then there is really no reason to stop playing. You can grind the said gold, purchase EC and buy the eggs yourself. And ED might even make it tradeable. However, for a lot of people, including me, conversion is not the only problem. There is a whole bunch of issues that need fixing

[Gold]

why send the same message twice? see where i replied on the next page art
tldr conversion being able to be listed in MP fixes alot i can not understand why you seem to think it doesnt it makes something unobtainable without spending gold, obtainable
if thats not a solution then i dont know what is

[Gold]

the heck? it would fix an issue even if you cant afford it you can always save up for it...... with gold
this is more wanted by the players who dont spend money on games.

[Dom]

More re-used content. So fun.

[ceruulean]

yah it's pretty obvious tradable conversion costumes won't fix issues, we already have tradable epics but can't trade wings/tail/decal

Well ed said they'll never make ec items tradable so ya none of this will ever get fixed

[RubyArt]

Okay...Let us suppose for a few minutes that Conversion threads become tradeable. What would their prices be? At this rarity, I doubt they would be any less than 40- 50k gold. How many people can afford this? This still presents the problem of A LOT of players not being able to afford it. People with 100 farming alts? No problem. People who buy EC? No problem. People who sell runs? Yea, no problem.
Where I am leading is making conversion threads tradeable will not fix the real issues.

Yah dn used to have a lot of equalized content and pvp related stuff, or even just guild acheevments to help ur guild get cool mounts and wings but now it's all gutted

Well pwrleveling noobs is still an option now

On that note aren't we supposed to have Guild RDN that's adjusted for 93 cap

[Dom]

Other MMOs have content to do that is enjoyable. A lot of prosperous MMOs actually have things you can do once you have good gear. In DN all you can do is sell IDN HC runs for gold to save up for next cap.
