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

Eyedentity sees the NA servers as the boonies, as long as we pay our taxes they don't care about us. Throw out a couple subsidies here and there but their main concern are the more populated Asian servers

at least EU and SEA have Cherry Credits as an established publisher to host events. We had Nexon but now we got no one to represent us. We're literally left in the wild and whatever scraps ED throws at us

I think you guys need to understand the real problem isn't that they don't know what the problem is, its that they know they just aren't doing shit about it. It'd be different if every patch they were making small steps to make the changes everyone thinks the community needs. They haven't done ANYTHING but take things away and make things worse.
If they don't know how to fix the problem with the thread CrazyZeus made then they won't ever know. All they have to do is make a roadmap, a schedule of things that will be implemented that the community wants.
Does anyone have any idea based on concrete facts what Dean50 means when he says "We will fix things step by step?" Nobody fucking knows for sure because they do not speak to the community and voice solutions to things that are complained about on a weekly basis, and the only things they have done are things nobody wants.
I was afraid that, at worst, Dean50 would just be a talking figurehead. Who has no impact on anything and is only meant to shut the community up, or temporarily ease concerns. And so far I was right. Why would a company stay quiet on something in which planned solutions are to be implemented regardless?
I think, that even if you are someone who is either, not affected by anything the community complains about and manages to enjoy the game, or is still riding on a prayer that things will change, should find another game to play, or other means to fill the void that is filled by playing this game, in case the inevitable happens and this version shuts down.

Uh.... how many people do you know exactly who got their full set and extra in 400 eggs?!!! You are looking at the problems in game in terms of what YOU want right now. Because you know you can afford to buy with gold you make via selling EC. . Making conversion threads tradeable would not make a difference to player retention. And honestly I'm worried that NA management in their cluelessness will see posts with this suggestion and think this is their solution. And a whole lot of problems will not get fixed. And then they will give up and you all will say pithy stuff like " whiners will whine...". And nothing will ever change.

iirc apple farming is also common in kdn unless that changed. If there's too much inflation in the economy than the gold you make from dungeons and gold pouches are also useless aside from rng drops and garnets

Enhancing L grades is the only high fixed cost in dn and the next highest is like guild buffs which most players don't even have to deal with. Worthless items like theanos will stay relatively worthless and expensive items like 3rd stat crests will still be unaffordable to people who can't afford them now. Why wouldn't I sell something previously worth 5k for 10k if everyone got double the gold? It's better to choose lowering the cost of l grades instead of a sudden temporary gold injection from something stupid like the chest event sea had. Also the core problem isn't necessarily lack of gold than lack of circulation of gold. There's little things to trade and the tradeable items are either too easy to get or takes too long/extremely low chance to drop but that came from t5.

The part with the selling idn carries to gold buyers was more to show that it doesn't matter who you give the gold to if you want inflation. Prices of items like garnets, fusion cubes, and ultimates also sells for more.

Honestly a big point lies here, don't you feel bad that Apple farming is apparently the only way to make gold on this server, and this Dragon Nest server alone?
This issue speaks for itself really, there lies a problem if literally all the other servers did not have to go to this method of making gold, and increasing the economy wouldn't make apple farming "useless" per say, but it would not be as viable, nor play as large as a factor if the economy problems were resolved.

Next, NA is the poorest server, people wouldn't need a direct give me free gold event as you put it, in fact that is a bad idea because the more accounts someone has, the more gold they obtain. What I had visioned would be a way to increase the servers gold generation, for players running dungeons and nests to a certain degree.

Newer players aren't like you, they are unable to run IDN carries, they can't make gold nearly as easily as the veterans, meaning they get kicked from nest parties and lose their motivation to gear up and play the game.

Now, your idea is quite a good one, it should be like the epic synthesis Weapon coupon or at least let them remain in eggs for quite some time instead of removing it... After thinking about this I have updated my main post! Thanks for your time and opinions!!

[Couplord]

BUT I trust you guys will whip up something nice to deal with the issues of our economy!

This is my personal hopes, this thread was to suggest some things and hopefully persuade them to do things for conversion costume and the economy problems tomorrow. But they did say they are listening and will attempt to do things about our problems in an upcoming meeting, so I would give them until summer personally to see the direction of the server before you guys pack your bags and quit.

[Couplord]

I can see quite a few problems with this..

-Incentive package would have to be insane, especially if you do not keep your character.........
-Players would be upset being merged wtih a server so far ahead of this one gear wise... Experience wise... Content wise....
-Next since NA is a different server, the economy and amount of gold we have is much less, we also missed tons of past events SEA had.
Won't go too much into this as typing just this takes so much time on a phone... ED doesn't need to shut down NA, I just hope they listen more to the opinions and troubles of the players and do something about it, they said they will so lets see how they do, the purpose of this thread wasn't to do anything but persuade / convince them to follow through.

However, It would be cool if they eventually make a Dragon Nest 2 with all the servers being merged together for one big game....

[Couplord]

No, I think what Omnicide's point may have been is what happens if someone got their full set before the 400 egg to conversion thread event came out, thus they got a few free conversion pieces that literally serves no purpose.

Goodwill has another good approach to it seeing as if you get insanely lucky you get multiple threads, this could let you sell off the excess or at the very least give it to a friend.

Dragon Nest NA -MUST- SHUT DOWN and move all players to the SEA version with an incentive package and maybe just add a server in North America location.

Why? Eyedentity obviously doesn't care about our version. They are already powering this game with extra SEA staff to watch over the community every now and then. They are pushing us farther and farther behind in updates than we have ever been, and are pushing SEA to literally like a month behind KR version. This server didn't use to be the backup English version, but it quickly became it..

It's time for a change. It's time for the inevitable to happen.. Shut DOWN the NA version and move us over to SEA in entirety.. Let go of the bleeding dream that is a sole NA version and open us up to the rest of the world, with updates that come at a good pace and aren't half-assed.

Tl;dr: EYEDENTITY needs to stop wasting money on our NA version and merge us into the SEA version and make SEA a Global version. We'll all experience latest content and an actually active community of players that care about its future.

rather not make apple farm useless at the cost of making dungeon/secret dungeons/gold pouches useless
and there'd be more gold lying around if the largest gold sink was reduced

[Breamiin]

I am of the same opinion as Zeus. I doubt anyone that has finished their set would shell out more money just to turn that into gold. It'd be better just to buy gold at that point. Just because you want the set and refuse to pay for it, doesn't mean ED will just suddenly make it tradeable. And, if my memory serves me. most of the other serves besides EU and IDN, have these as non-tradeable, non-transferable as well. Engineer is just as good and can be obtained with gold or crafted with a bit of luck. Most of SEA/KDN that I see use engineer still.

[Goodwill]

I guess, say you need 1 more thread, and you have bought 100 eggs, or hundreds for some people. And you end up getting 4 conversion threads. Maybe they don't want to be inclined to finish a new set and are low on gold.

[GatTheRipper]

If the game were to somewhat follow as SEA does with the vast amount of events (not only spending events) they have, I think NA would benefit a ton from that. As Couplord stated, one of the many events... the Bonus Magnifyque Chests from SEA would be amazing for NA. You get a possible chance at many beneficial rewards, possible costume items, a possible mount, as well as also generating a fair amount of gold among players. It'll be especially beneficial due to the 10 free magnifying glasses per week we have in NA among the many characters I'm sure people play, it will also make players more eager to buy magnifying glasses from the cash shop benefiting you guys also!

It'd also be nice to see a little more frequent drop rate events, actually making use of dungeon grinding because at this point the amount of hours put into grinding is not so rewarding due to the economy.

I just think it'd be nice to close the gold sink that is Dragon Nest NA

BUT I trust you guys will whip up something nice to deal with the issues of our economy!

[CraZyZeuS]

Why would an individual who has full set continue to buy conversion eggs?
