Event Coin problem - Page 3

Ravenblade1979 · #1 02-25-2007, 06:11 PM

I was just in coin shop and only seen two high priced items. Gale Armor at 70 or 75 ec's and bezelbub (or w/e) shield for 75 ec's.

The rest are a respectable 45 and below.

hampy · #2 02-25-2007, 06:47 PM

Yes, its good to have some expensive items but there needs to be more cheap items that newer players can get. A new player wouldnt be able to afford say 20 ECs but they would be about to get say 5 :o thats why this casino idea should be added

Ravenblade1979 · #3 02-25-2007, 08:30 PM

Well then they should think of adding items that are less...like the speed ammy and demon ammy are both 12 ec's each. thats pretty goood. but casino..VIVA LAS BOMY

yeah when it first opened, it had hamma for 250 coins.

The most we ever got was 118. we paid 3-5k for all of them. This was befor the shop even opened. people didn't save them and lance and jagen handed them out like hotcakes. too bad jagen was corrupt.

Ravenblade1979 · #9 02-28-2007, 04:49 PM

Weapons would be nice but you would be looking again at high costing ec's.

That depends on the weapon. But I guess to stop upset. They would have to bring back old weapons or introduce new ones so people who already have these rare weapon's won't be pissed off about it.

I like the idea of the Event Coin Shop rotating like a normal shop. Draenin was supposed to work on it but never finished.

Basically tons of items have a set value. However I was thinking they would cost less EC's and more other items like rubies of great value, stuff that isn't used. Then they restock like a normal shop.

This way, once this shop is done, staff do not have to worry about updating it. However, an influx of more ECs would be nice.

That would be so awesome!

Ravenblade1979 · #13 02-28-2007, 07:46 PM

God yes more ec's would be nice but we are stuck with what we get on refills.

hampy · #14 02-28-2007, 08:53 PM

Yeah Kydens idea is pretty sweet, that could work too

sage_scooby · #15 02-28-2007, 10:49 PM

I wouldnt mind if the shop had more things in it of less value. They wouldnt even need to be great things just items that are no longer available but decent. We all know craftable items arent worth anything.

Also I wouldnt mind seeing some weapons in there either.

Stuff like lightning sabre would be cool to bring back. It's nothing special but it's still a fairly decent weapon. Also there's weapons on debug. Like the whip. Maybe they should release those aswell.

They should have cheap items in the event coins shop other than Demon Stone and Speed Ammy and weapons would be good to add to the shop im sick of armour all the time.

Anyone going against what Googi is stating should not even be posting their opinions here. I've played many gambling games over the years, and the math he is posting is spot on. If you have a 50% chance of winning and a 50% chance of losing, over the course of thousands of games played, you're starting amount is hardly going to change.

If you're looking at like 10 games, then yes, it's possible that you have an upswing... But the downswing will come. Believe me.

I played poker for many years and while there is some skill involved, most people rely mainly on luck. I've seen countless people bragging about their hot streak only to come back a week later and talk about how they've been getting cold decked and been on the worst losing streak ever. It balances out.

I really think a casino wouldn't solve much of anything... I think you should make something more like a carnival which would involve games of skill with a bit of luck thrown in. A carnival would also fit better into a GK time period. I think some people want a casino just because they hope of hitting it rich. It's what las vegas thrives on... people who think they are gonna be millionaires. But the majority just walk away with empty pockets.

Ravenblade1979 · #19 03-01-2007, 04:28 PM

Now a carnival would do and your right would fit in. Like maybe a arrow game.

Ravenblade1979 · #20 03-01-2007, 07:31 PM

hmm weapons yes...but the ec price would still be high..they don't know how to make things cheap.

hampy · #21 03-01-2007, 07:32 PM

Yes weapons, that would be a nice idea. Some of the old items could be brought back like darkinferno etc

Ravenblade1979 · #22 03-01-2007, 07:34 PM

ugh more old items..time for new weapons.

hampy · #23 03-01-2007, 07:35 PM

We all know that new weapons wont be released, better having old weapons than nothing at all.. cheap old weapons at that. (1-2 EC) make them widely available

Ravenblade1979 · #24 03-01-2007, 07:41 PM

the staff wouldn't do that..betcha if they did lowest would cost 25-40 ec's just to get

Why

in the past some of the old items have been widely used, they weren't rare at all but as time passed they were slowly gone from the economy untill now none are left. We could just have them back and make them craftable just like they have been in the past. I would love to see some nice old weapons back for everyone to use, it would be nice to have something added that wasn't actually expensive for a change so new players have a chance at getting some items

Ravenblade1979 · #26 03-01-2007, 07:58 PM

yeah that would be nice..maybe we should goto stefan with this idea.

Gothika · #27 03-02-2007, 11:26 AM

Dark Inferno.. no. Not unless it costs a lot of ECs because they can't have to many of those floating around the server.

Ravenblade1979 · #28 03-02-2007, 04:28 PM

well i think the whole point of the conversation is to get less costing stuff then what we have now.

hampy · #29 03-02-2007, 07:15 PM

lol at 250 EC's they should be handed out like hotcakes

Ravenblade1979 · #30 03-02-2007, 07:20 PM

mmmm hotcakes

seanthien · #31 03-10-2007, 05:07 AM

o-o. I hate the idea. =\ The point of the armor and stuff is for it to be hard to obtain.. If it was that ez then whats the point? eveyrone woudl have it =\

they should be hard to abtain... not almost impossible.

Ravenblade1979 · #33 03-10-2007, 04:23 PM

Right now they are impossible for most people.

Yes and this needs to change. things should be easier for new players to get. i'm not talking about old rare items, they should stay rare but new stuff that is craftable (for little cost) should be added

SayianOozaru · #35 03-10-2007, 05:26 PM

Or you could just make EC's semi-easy for new players to come by, and just raise the prices of the coin shop in relation to the "easy-ness" of obtaining them...

Exactly how will this help? Its already insane the prices of EC's..don't need to jack em up anymore.

Gothika · #37 03-11-2007, 11:02 AM

In becoming an EM, I've noticed how many Event Coins we get in our bag. I think we get a fair amount. Infact I think I get to many. And that's just my Event Coins.. The other EMs will have more aswell. So there will be a lot of event coins kicking around the server.

Re-read my post. I said how about lowering the price on EC's, and just raise the price of EC's it takes to make something in the coin shop.

Depends on how much you guys host

That depends on how many players are online. And we don't want to host to many times. Our bags have got to last us more than 1 day.
Say we all get 10 EC's in our bag. Then theres 5 EMs. so thats 50 ECs.
That's quite a lot so I don't see why people complain.

50 ec's in how many days? plus you have to factor in that not every em is gonna event them off as fast or slow as they always do.
