PREVIEW: Pocket Legends Guild Event - "The Mad Mage's Castle!"

[Jilsponie]

Eh the white dragon looks to be costing like 2m or something... that doesn't require a hoarder to buy... quick run sts for finam and terme offhands and you could probably buy 5

Hello.. Ok Im cool with this event now .. it goes like this

Move most of the gold in the game to one guild ...create a guild event ... and the prize is a vendor that sells high priced exclusive items to take gold from the guild out of the game.
I can live with that ... as long as it works.
I don't think which guild matters that much ... as most players in the game won't be able to afford the vendor anyway ... me included.
So its a farming event for most ... and we wait hope the economy balance thing works out .. and we get another opportunity for white dragon in the future.
At least we will find out who the gold "horders" are in the game they will be wearing white dragon.

"Cheers" and happy farming ... Imrandy

I (and others in game) really think rings should be added to the vendor, considering their insane current price and way too low drop rate. The whole set minus the ring will cost less than 10m while the elite ring stays at 15m-20m, that's insane lol

I honestly haven't even looked into the prices rings are going for... but judging by the hundreds of runs I've done without seeing the actual desired rings drop i can only assume they are ridiculously expensive. So i would definitely support anything to get more into the market

I'm honestly surprised by how little rings there are in cs, considering there are 500+ capped characters, with a lot of those capped characters having capped in Maxx. I think I've done about 25 runs total in Maxx and dropped 5 rings, so an average of 1 ring for every 5 runs.

I wouldn't be opposed to adding rings to the vendor, but by doing so, everything needed to get a set will have drastically dropped and there will be very little worth farming for again.

Maxx cave or maxx maze?

Cave. Only crafting materials drop from maze from what I understand and have seen.

@Jilsponie .. different play styles for everyone ... 2m is a “horde” to me ( and the majority of Players) ... I couldn’t buy it that’s the definition of a “horde” to most.
It’s going to be interesting to see how many can buy it and therefore how much gold it takes out of the game ...Imrandy

[jackelpl1035]

Cinco, is this event only one winning guild or in top 5 or top 3?

2m isn't much at all... that's 1 good drop in sts, 100 offhands are in high demand

Or 3 drops whatever lol just farm

I think it's bit more complex than just simple inflation, it's a situation of economic inequality.

From my point of view as it's necessary to do gold sink (guild event, item enchantment) it's also very much necessary to increase the flow of gold to the general players

Read my post under Waug's. The gold sink isn't enough to stabilize PL's economy in the long run. Gold is scarce and hard to obtain. Therefore, a gold sink and ease of obtaining gold is necessary.

Yes, I was replying in support of both you and Waug when I used the quote, "Game designers must balance between scarcity of currency and ease of acquiring currency".

Pocket Legends has very few gold sinks and an abundance of gold faucets.

You might ask this guy to show the way to these abundance of gold faucets.

Excellent point! Thank you. That's exactly why this shouldn't be a guild competition. There's no competition. It's broken. This was not how STS anticipated this very special event to play out, IMHO, exploiting the mechanics of the event for a one-guild "guild event" lol. In light of these developments, I strongly agree with imrandy and others who have voiced similar concerns. This should be for everyone who plays during the event, just like in every other event in PL history. No one should have to leave their guild in order to have a fair shot at this event. This is the most important event since the bsm preview. Some dynamics need to be seriously changed to properly honor this moment in Alterran history.

Additional supporting documentation :

-Controlling multiple chars with a pc isn’t easy. People will give up on that. No fun when people do that. It takes the fun out of the game.

-I believe any guild can still win.

-People will return to their guild once the event ends or stay with the new home.

-Purpose of the event is to have active players and it’s actually doing that.

-No event is perfect. We complain when the odds are against us. It looks like odds are against some.

-Because the bosses permit rare drops, I’m happy for that.

I want to thank Cinco and the Sts team for this event.

You all listened to us and have given players an opportunity to get the elite weapons and amulets for pl gold. Not all players have access to plat for various reasons.

You introduced a most beautiful highly anticipated white dragon vanity.

You even added a new vanity to farm and items that where difficult to drop, amulet and weapon crafting componets all for free.

Despite all the opinions of this event, personally I appreciate all your hard work for making this for PL. The game is so active and we all are buzzing with excitement for this event.

It certainly has bought the PL community together for a common goal.

Very well said sunny i agree

To keep the white gold dragon set rare it should cost like 100+ plat to make it craftable for trading use. Also are the pets only lootable and not bought with gold from the vendor?

[Draebatad]

The pets would appear to cost 250k? I'm also curious about the price to make them tradable.
