NEW DROPS!!! what u think about them?

[licgenier]

well as u all know new housing system is out but after like... 40 mins i got around 20 different drops and idk what most of they are used for. Also most of the drops are realy heavy and i want to know everyone opinion about the new drops that are like spam in aoe mobs :D

[waffaddict]

Lol. I noticed the same thing earlier when I was aoeing and all these drops (which i could barely understand) were weighing me down. With the housing quest asking for large amount of the drops, I can only assume that creating furniture and whatever else will require a decent amount as well. I'm enjoying it and trying to see what all the drops are. Everytime I turned around, there was a new one.

[OmegaTrooper]

Maybe this is a hint to making in game clothes the cotton and such :?

[Euphie]

They're pretty. c:

[danibelle07]

they're cool. wish i was an AOEr so I could get more at once :3

[himoses]

When I went to Essene and saw the selling prices, I thought these would be rare. I played for 10 minutes and got 4 without aoeing. I will be interested in seeing where these wind up being priced and hopefully they do not negatively impact other drops (the age old question of how do you price something that has not established a value).

[opensunflowers]

I wanna see pictures ;______;

everything has to happen when I can't get in-game.
fml.
:(

[realgundam]

seems that furnitures are sc items, unless I missed some that you can make in game, or that outspark decided to remove them from Xenepic's system

[yanane]

I think they even messed up the whole dropping system...
Got a ssf drop in mystra hill :D
Edit : I also got a fairy powder from a Cabri, the bug you can see on the screen shot...

http://ping-yang.fr/public/ssf_drop.jpg

But yea, that a lot of new items, it would be better if they dropped only once the quest needing them would be taken.

[realgundam]

not only there are way too much which there aint enough space in the hotel, that are also heavy.
On top of that, they greatly reduced the amount of normal drops which can npc fore krons, I have had 1/4 about of eq drop while aoeing since today.
This also means that there will be even less ap4-6 items, and shortage or krons
which makes ap6 even more valuable and krons harder to find.

At lease make them npc at a higher value, or make them only drop at lower lv like the pet quest stuff.

[licgenier]

OMG a ssf in mystra!!!
well idk u guys but in my 40 mins aoeing i got white paint, red paint and a gleaming piece in the lib.
also i found out about other drops that we used to npc specialy gears(idk u but i npc any 2,4 ap drop i get) going down. This isnt realy that bad but im starting to guess how much are the lvl 96 gears going to worth after this...
I always said return scrolls were hard to get(if u dont get it that is called sarcasm) but with this new drops now even scrolls are rare drops xD

[himoses]

paint in the library and ssfs in mystra are definitely not normal. i wonder if this is a glitch or a new way of doing things like firewood. any feedback? I can't test until about 4 pm server time.

[kazuya-str]

._. Maybe I can finally get the ssf fragments that may take me months to get.
I'll check around in game as well.

[techno-viking]

Well so far ive collected about 200+ items from grinding on my scout in south cv and west eir-chant, but all ive got is about 30 different items apart from a cotton sheet and tigers breath. so im wondering if the items are lvl or area limited, i.e ice maps drop one sort, desert maps another etc.

also on a side note, there are tons and tons of quests for furniture etc, you can get them from existing and new npcs, some of which are actually on maps ( found one at alica forest sz).

[imoet]

............... i dont like this new drops +update .... same reason like above D:
1. wasting slot
2. hi weight - 6>60 ....
3. getting white and red paint in amorica O.O
4. lower chance to get the ( LOW RARE XEN STONE AND 6 / 3 AP GEAR !!!)
:D

[deedee479]

patty drops omg patty drops not again I want xen like this

[licgenier]

lol the reason i added the patty drops in the poll was just to say:"i prefer 5 random drops useful for nothing than 25+ drops usefull for exactly the same(noting)"
and yeah ap drops will be harder im starting to guess how bad is that going to be for all those looking for lvl 96 gears....

[yanane]

I think the dropping system is totally messed up :D
I got a another fairy drop from the green caterpillar west Essene !
And gleaming piece and paint are definitely not normal drops in lib yea.

[Ayanami]

People have been complaining forever that you can only get certain drops from certain mobs at a certain level. I think Outspark/DNC has finally made a good effort to address this. So please, don't mess it up by complaining. :(

Personally I think it's AWESOME that these strange drops are happening. Perhaps my neophyte's leather farming days are finally over???

As for gears not dropping as much...I have not had a chance to test it personally. Perhaps they've lowered the overall drop rate for gears, but you now have a higher chance of getting an AP gear?

Someone said that a lack of NPCable gears will cause a KRON shortage? Did someone REALLY say that? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA*breath es*
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

But yea, we DO need more storage. Hopefully Outspark will listen to us and NOT screw it up by making it a Sparkcash thing...

[FatTony30]

these new drops need to be in addition to drops b4 they were added (which would mean mobs often dropping more than 1 item). Instead the new items are replacing old drops, which will screw up a lotta stuff in the long run. Also, weights need to drastically decrease. And all hotels should have their max increased by 30-50.

Nothing NEEDS to be done about this. Just find a way to work with what you now have.

[Sobero]

hav fun ^_^'

[himoses]

I created another storage guild to deal with all the drops. So far I have two storage characters, two hotel storages, and two guild storages. Wonder how long it will take to fill up my new storage guild?

If you are worried about storage and have an extra 10 million to blow, just make a storage guild. You don't HAVE to recruit, it rids the economy of lots of kron, and it is really convenient not having to switch accounts to transfer stuff. Don't have enough money? Go farm 4 leathers and bingo, you have your storage guild as long as your character is 66+. Enjoy!

Anyone have a count of number of housing items? I know I already have 25+, and I am sure there are lots more.

[opensunflowers]

What really gets my goat is that OutSpark never tells us what the heck is going on.
We are left scrambling around every Wednesday after maintenence trying to figure out what's different and if there are any new glitches.

Why can't they just TELL US "oh btw we made other items drop everywhere! WOO!" instead of us sitting here talking about whether it's a glitch or not?

OutSpark doesn't tell us ANYTHING.
They show us pretty pictures of mounts and houses and don't mention anything about how they will be obtained, they don't give us a warning about these strange items that suddenly appear in our loot piles, and then watch us scramble around to try and figure out what the heck we're supposed to do with the stuff.

Yea I'm with you on this.

I KINDA like the mystery, but at the same time, there are some things that SHOULD be announced. Anyone remember the Firewood thing? They completely revamped the quest drop system and barely said a WORD about it. Everyone was certain it was a glitch at first!

More detailed patch notes would be such a welcome idea...

But my guess is that Outspark barely even knows themselves what they're putting out. DNC gives them an update, Outspark releases it. I'm not sure they're given detailed information about what's in the update.

[holli_hobbi]

Got say I'm not too fond of them. First, there should be something to tell us what they are all for, so we at least knew which ones we want to keep. Second, as quest items they should only weight 1 lb, not 50 and 60 like some of them do now. Third, due to the sheer numbers of them, they should increase the amount of storage we are allowed in hotel.

[Twinleaf20]

They can help out the economy, sell them for low prices for all the lazy ppl!! xD

I remember being told the reason we don't get advanced notice is because they use maintenance to actually last-minute-test some of the new functions as much as possible. That way if they find something wrong they can postpone the patch and not worry about everyone being upset that they're not getting what they were told would be coming.

Though yes, I certainly wouldn't mind if they took more player feedback into consideration during the *planning* stages of these things...

[D-Styles]

the housing/clothes drops should be lowered a bit.

Lets face it, after looking at a good price for a house lease against the number of leased houses i see, i don't think they will do much, maybe it would help if the houses were perm lol. (unless there is a quest or super item that will need these items later, but for now im stuffing them in my secondary storage).


but.. im all for the random/pet quest drops dropping in almost every map, farming and grinding at the same time is a luxury if you ask me, as long as the gear drops still remain.

[deedee479]

Patty patty I still have patty new items new items too many items Q.Q can we maybe have more xens plz

[danibelle07]

oh PLEASE let the SSFs continue to drop in mystra!!! ;_;

[danibelle07]

O-M-G

just got a SSF in Curior Forest (that's north cv, where my noob tail has been training)!!

ISH MY FIRST SSF EVERRR!!! *SQUEEEEEEE*

something tells me SSFs are going to drop in price sometime within the near future if they continue to be drops outside of the mines.

[SiL3NCe]

Well, I'm not sure if im right or not, but i think the reason why we are seeing red/white paints, gleaming pieces, ssfs [maybe?] and all the other abnormal drops we wouldn't see normally. Is most likely due to the furniture quests, if you too the time to look around the new quests, you would notice you need these items to make some sort of furniture. Which to me makes sense, seeing all these new items dropping everywhere, doesn't really suprise me that we are seeing unsual drops as well.

As for drops, sometimes it is bothersome, but I sorta feel like the demand on items needed for the quest is a bit high. It's sorta hard to hunt for 1 particular item when there is like 30+ new items to find. >.<

But yeah, I don't really mind at the moment, seeing I don't aoe I wouldn't feel the full affects of these new drops. xD

[deedee479]

No aoe no aoe *is heavy after half aoe with new drops* I'll be back in town soon

[licgenier]

well the main problem i find with this new items is that there arent just have and there are too many also almost anyone is going to do the quest.
I mean what would u do:
1.-buy a house in sc store(no need to do an annoying quest and can chose between 7 houses)
2.-Do the awesome annoying quests that ask u for high and i mean HIGH amounts of items to get a house(and only 1 house)?
Most of the sc users are going to use the first option and i dont blame them for that.As a free user im going to do the quest not only cause i want a house its cause its a challenge to get all those items and for me its like getting a pet.
Before the pet enhancing and mounts a lot of ppl didnt want to do the quest cause it was annoying and the ppl who finished it for the very first time it was like:"wow i did what almost anyone is able to do" or at least that was for me and im sure it was for almost every new player that got a pet for the very first time.
But well almost anyone want to do challenging quests like this just for fun and even those who are trying to do it find it annoying to get heavy drops while u see how the drop of gears goes down.

So once again this isnt a real free users quest. most of high lvled ppl arent free users and giving the change to sc users to get 7 easy and better houses is just... realy annoying.

when i started playing this game it was playable for free users. Even though we couldnt look cool or get a bit more of def we were able to pt and lvl up easily but now almost all the items are sc based.
u want wings u have two options:
1.- pray for ur 5% of sucess rate to work(1/20)
2.-pay and try with 20% chances to get them(1/5)
u want skilled or mount:
1.-use 5 xens and pray for ur 20% to get a sucesful enhancement(cause if u dont u lose ur pet)
2.-use 10 sc meridians and pribium to have 60% chances to get skill oh and if u fail dont worry u still have ur pet
wanna get a house:
1.-buy a certificate(2600sc if i remember well) and choose ur house
2.-do the quesT!!!!

I know thats realy out of the topic of this thread that i started but these drops will keep dropping and they are annoying cause u can get lots more paying and doing nothing.
i look at the poll and i see most of ppl think the drops are annoying(and yeah they are) but if u were able to get only 1 kind house with sc and u could choose a house doing the quest i think the answers in the poll would change a lot...

now back to topic...
i got a red paint in the last monsters spawn in essene :D(didnt know cow legends drop paint ._.)
ssf still dropping in maps? *goes make a nub* >D

[charismarose]

The drops weigh too much, and why can't drops for housing quests, and any other quests just drop for those who want the quest? I am not doing this quest, many aren't, they are not permanent, they weigh too much, and take away from the drops of the other things that are useful to people who choose not to do the quest. It's just another way for Outspark to make money. If you want anything other than a log house, you have to pay at the SOS store. I already spend a fortune and can't even get my darn wings!

[danibelle07]

um.. do the houses serve a purpose?

someone remind me please ._.

[BellaAnimorum]

I'm going to abstain from voting this poll, as it is biased and doesn't give enough options.
And that is besides the fact that I haven't logged on since April.

EDIT: Added more.

[techno-viking]

Maybe they should make these items only drop if you have a quest activated, like what happens with some of the veggie girl quests.

agreed
i'm glad that them items drop at every lvl map, now u don't have to make an alt to farm quest items x-x

maybe lower the quest item drop rate some, and make them lighter, but thats it~

[yanane]

I was told that ssf are used for one of the furniture quest, that's why they drop as well gleaming pieces in unusual places. Good thing they drop after all... Newer players will have something to sell in order to survive in Adeline's messed up economy.

[Alma_Adhara2]

._. all i gotta say about these items is that they are a damn pain for healers, rogues or wizs class since we dont have a lot of pow for carring weight stuff, i really suffer with it having to go to hotel every repot, and having to waste time making spot in my hotel storage.

Solutions ive heard:
-Make them Wt 1~5
-Make an specific dungeon for those items ._.

I already started deleting them from my inventory, i dnt wanna waste that many time havng to storage them that often :mad:

[poochyenarulez]

i'll take any of them, u don't want/need >:D

Make A House!! There Will Be A Tornado Coming Soon!!! Omgawd!!!

I'm Sooo Off Topic! Lol!!!

[BellaAnimorum]

Make A House!! There Will Be A Tornado Coming Soon!!! Omgawd!!!

I'm Sooo Off Topic! Lol!!!

Yes, yes you are.

More on topic, I would imagine that having at least 25 (maybe 50) slots extra in our storage would be a tremendous help.. 500 seems a bit too exagerrated if you ask me.

And the extra slots could come via quest (let's not suggest using DevilCash yet, as Outspark would have no problemo whatsoever doing such) and hopefully an expensive Kron sink (Guilds cost ten million, how much would you pay for extra storage space???)

^.^

[jrgoofy]

This vote is seriously biased so i didn't vote, but i think the new drops aren't that bad, me and my guild mates decided to make a log house as a guild hq and make some furniture to put in it. This gives us something fun to do as a guild(especially since guilds are nothing more then advanced buddy list atm we need more guild updates :D) Sometimes we even make guild pties just to farm house items. I do understand that they can be very anoying for people who just wanna lvl up and dont care about houses but u can always just delete the items or give them to friends who do want or need them.

[Alma_Adhara2]

i'll take any of them, u don't want/need >:D

ROFLMAO ill give u if i ever catch u while repoting xD!

1st: We made the same about the guild house, and we all are making furniture and such =P

2nd: Ofc i care about lvling up >.<! its what happen whenu are close to ur lvl-goal, but that doesnt mean i dont have time for the rest of stuff, im just saying, imagine being a healer that can only carry around 100mp pots with a max Wt amount around 1700 and 2000.. ._. everytime one of those 60Wt or 40Wt items drop i pray for not to picking it up -.- cuz i dont like the idea of deleting them but its really annoying... i get fat so easily in the middle of my training time and its weird whenu gotta keep up with the speed of an aoer ._. sigh

what i said, 1~5 Wt would b really helpful for me >.<;
