Morph Runestone in mall

bru remember, this is vanilla,
Also, let me remind you, Morph Runestone existed in the original Tales of Pirates. Of course not available in game, but it was in the mall.
So if we go with the "Vanilla argument", we might as well implement it.

I don't think "Full Vanilla" is what we should aim for with this server.
We should try to get the Vanilla feel of the old times back, keep things fun like it used to be and improve on those parts where it is necessary.
If we find a flaw, which happens to be vanilla, we should not ignore it just for the sake of it being vanilla. We wanna improve, that should always be the priority. The "It's not Vanilla"- argument is something that will prevent improvement.
 
We soo need this stone in the mall, I cant believe @Zankza didn't think of it himself.

People hardly go CA now because whats the points, don't have the best equips(or even decent ones).. can't gem ug's in chest items ( what a waste that would be )

price wise 500-700rum is perfect. I'm sure an unsealed BOE cost around 1k rum in game anyway (if people wanted to sell)

the best guild is abysal and they recruited a lot + they win almost all dw'z so for them so sell any good level 55/65 items before gearing up their guild first will take at least another month, maybe two.

a way to get a hold of some good gear through malling or farming a lot in game(money) is necessary, now more than ever before.

Zankza with just this item you will see that all guilds will try to attend dw. why? because they can finally survive/tank one mob. And from there i don't even have to explain :D

Benefits of this item?
-gain confidence to enter mazes (CA) (DW)
-people who work most the day wont have to quit anymore since its available on mall
-people like me who have to keep his women and side b1tches happy all day will finally be able to have a chance against the top
-one step closer to geming UG's
-easier to level up alts/ or people who are struggling since we can finally dodge a few mobs up to level 50 :D
-PK at b2 will be intense! everyone will rush for it and the price for level 65 sealed equips will increase greatly.
soo like overall it will probably cost around 600 for stone, 10-15mil for sealed equip level 65 so about 100-130usd seems decent.

Oh and the biggest, you get a boost in income :D (have a pint from me)

Soon BD will be killed more frequently. And Just like dw it will stay in guild unless someone offers crazy amounts of gold/rum

How sad would it be that this server will die out because we didn't get a chance to catch up to the best.

Give the new/weaker players a chance and introduce the morph stone @599rum :D
 
Maybe lets add a LVL boost to instant lvl 60, just for 700 rum, maybe even lvl 70 for 1500+ rum, because why not, I see this server turning bit by bit into a p2w server, which zankza didn't wanted when he introduced us to fox.
 
I'm just thinking, that making this GOOD server a FULL p2w is not good :(

I understand your concerns and I agree, I don't want it to become a "full p2w" server either.
And I do not believe that it will become one by adding this item to the mall.
The server has many mallers and many mall alot as well. Many people sell Rum, so those who work hard without mall and make money in other ways like manufacruring or cooking can buy Rum from players and buy Morph runestone that way. Means: Whether you're a hard maller or a hard worker, both have access to this item and hence have access to Level 65 equipment (mainly weapons).

Secondly, many of the hardcore mallers already own their level 65 unseal equipment pieces, so they barely even benefit from this primarily.
Of course there will be some who benefit from it, but I don't think that's a bad thing either. Those people stay motivated and happy, since they got their piece of equip finally, but they still need to farm their gems and level up slowly.

There are pro's and con's to adding morph runestone, I understand that, but as I see it right now, the pro's are stronger and would benefit more people in total.
 
Like Alu, I think it's an item that should be in the mall, but I find it's too early and if it was it should be way more expensive.

Having unseal 65 not even 2 months after server being released shouldn't be something normal that anyone can do easily, it still should be difficult to obtain like kals are.

To me it feels like you're trying to rush end game in a server that barely was released, so that all everyone can do is pk because people won't have to farm all this stuff anymore, that's not what a hardcore server is about, but that's just for me. I just dislike the idea of reaching end game so early and enjoy the farming phase more. Don't get me wrong people should be able to catch up, but make it so that it's not easily accessible for everyone and not so early.

but so was ugs, everyone remembers top was p2w, people are already moaning and have quit because they believe it is aready p2w, alot of devoted high skill players may i add.

This.

Agree that people should be able to catch up. The problem is people want to reach end game without putting effort, they want the fruit and the result but have no interest in the process or struggle in any form.
It's true that the guild monopolizing the mazes and bosses make it a block for any other player, however the game is new what really holds back many is levels -which no one should be complaining about unless you're lazy(Even with HB's and Nana's its still a damn grind)- Everyone's equipment SHOULDN'T be too far off, everyone SHOULD be on eva's, enigma's, and a few on CA's and FEW with UG's. I'm baffled that there is even a line in the sand at this stage of the game for people to be too far ahead. As you stated above its too early for this item way too early, I myself don't agree with having the morph rune in the mall
->Adding any form of equipment or UG's will kill the game fast.<-
•Unless they Cap UG levels like the cracked gems, which I doubt although I promote that it should have been done in the original game considering how gnarly stats get exponentially.
 
Almost every Abbys has unseal 65s, they basically have reached late game items and there's no way that other guilds can ever farm Kals unless they put their egos aside and team up to help one another instead of waiting to be gifted shit.

This whole idea is to give people another way of unsealing 65s so they don't rage quit after getting 1 slashed by mofos with duel boes.

We did unseal items and we aint a part of Abyssal.
 
I still remember when I was playing top back then. It took me long enough to farm those kals using only DoE without being a part of any guild. For me I'd do it the hard way. It's more fun that way. I'm just saying. :);)
 
@Zankza dont add. Stupid idea. Close topic. This will kill the server 100%. Server will be p2w 100%. I want a sense of achievement when I achieve these items not using my wallet to do so.
 
It's definitely too early for something like that. Yes, it was part of mall in vanilla ToP, but I'm sure as hell it was a later addition. I'm a bit tired of people promoting this kind of playstyle. Most folks think it's important to rush everything, but what you don't remember is that it's VANILLA ToP.

Although it won't ever get a playerbase close to ToP, nor will it last as long as ToP has, it's not meant to be rushed. The more you rush, the sooner the server actually gets to dying, as people will have nothing to do. Hell, even if it does take a few weeks of farming kals just to unseal one piece, it's fine. It's by far the best equipment in the game and it will be for a long time, hence it should by no means be easily obtained (Hint: Mall is an easy way of obtaining things)

I understand that you have the best intentions, but I don't see this having a positive effect on the server. If you're actually getting bored of not having any PK around, then you can always let people catch up instead of tirelessly farming Kals and Sealed Equips every DW. (I am by no means trying to "cry" here, I just don't see why else you'd propose such an idea)

Just my 2 cents, don't add this item. If you do, add it in a few months if the server needs it, better yet, don't add it at all.
 
All i see is complaints about this issue from non-mallers but let me bring up FoxLV as a great example. All of you who played there know fairly well what happened when there was only 1 way to obtain unsealed 95. So instead of doing the same thing here add the morph rune that way everyone has fair chance of getting unsealed 65.

Everyone has a fair chance? You're an idiot. Why should other people, including myself, be given the opportunity to get unseal 65 without putting the effort in? Using wallets is the not answer. You and your guild deserve the unseals because you guys play 24/7 and no life this game. Not saying it's a bad thing but of course you'll have advantage over people who can only play couple of hours a day. It's fucking vanilla! You've got to grind and play a lot to get anywhere in this game! Not fucking mall everything to be equal. Why should people who play 4 hours a day be equal to people who play 15 hours a day!? I can't play that much so I'm not saying this in my advantage.i have no unseals 65, I haven't earned it because I haven't put as much time in the game as you and the rest of your guild.
 
This game is already pay to win, Zankza even said it on world chat.

So what's wrong with adding the stone.

At least the guilds with one or two mallers can get some good items. And help the newbies
 
Equips still should be obtained by mazing
if ya'll want the gap to become smaller gems should be added and the forging fruits should be left out for a while
id say no to morphs
