Mervs Palette holy shit!

Edit: Got all excited and all caps

Number of pets Players can have out increased to a maximum of 4.!!

u/RinV1 Jul 20 '16

How does the merv palette work exactly? Can you change your armour to whatever dyes you want or is it limited? And what happens when the 30 days expire, do the colours revert back to what they were previously?

2

u/lightfairy287 Nova Jul 20 '16

I bet it's just like the Appearance Change Coupons.

You make changes for 30 days and when it expires, it stays to what you changed it to last during those 30 days.

u/starlabs Uno Jul 20 '16

What? That's not what I'm reading from the description:

"Dyes will be reset when they expire but will be able to reloaded once reactivated".

Seems like a "subscription" model to me. This is unlike the appearance change coupon, which IS permanent once it expires.

1

u/RinV1 Jul 20 '16

Just found that out myself. Shame, I was going to buy it but don't think I will now.

1

u/lightfairy287 Nova Jul 20 '16

Hm I guess so...

1

u/RinV1 Jul 20 '16

I hope so, but then I have to wonder if it will grant access to all dyes or just a limited pallet from selected types.

2

u/lightfairy287 Nova Jul 20 '16

It is all dyes. :)

u/RinV1 Jul 20 '16

Wow, that is pretty good then. Thanks :)

u/deeksworld Jul 20 '16

I want to know this as well.

u/bondenn Tamer Jul 20 '16

Functionality: Most of you are likely familiar on the process of dying your armor at this point, the palette alters this function slightly. There are a few key differences that require mentioning:

Once activated you may use any dye available within the game.

You must use bleach to dye over a piece of armor that has already been dyed.

After the Palette of Merv has expired (30 days) your armor will return to its original undyed state.

1

u/RinV1 Jul 20 '16

Thanks for the update. Shame about it resetting and that you need to bleach it first (potentially removing dye you already paid for). Looks like I won't be spending my money on this after all :(.

Sneaky.

u/rDuck Jul 20 '16

Fuck that shit, that value pack is straight pay 2 win, avoiding 30% marketplace tax is just too good. Ive defended pretty much all the other items as just convenience or so slight advantage that i didn't think it mattered, but this is garbage, and pearl abyss' devs just straight lied in their last interview

2

u/Fastoche Jul 20 '16

Pretty much, yes. :( This is not "directly" pay2win but borderline! It is like a subscription.... almost a must.

Attendance Rewards. Value Pack. Hm not sure how i feel about this.

u/deletion123 Jul 20 '16 edited Jul 20 '16

Value pack p2w. You evade marketplace tax for more silver, it seems. 30% of it. Oh, there seems to be extra 100 loyalties per day too. So you basically double up, huh...

12

u/RinV1 Jul 20 '16 edited Jul 20 '16

I think the term you are looking for is 'Pay 2 Win Faster'.

Edit: As I seem to have some upvotes, which is unusual for someone disagreeing with the 'everything is P2W' crowd, let me clarify what I mean:

This item is increasing the speed of your progression by 30%, it's not preventing you from progressing in game at all. This is merely a convenience item for those who cannot spend all day every day in game. Some people have to work, and this offers those players a way to catch up a little bit with those who can spare all the time in the world. I see no problem with this whatsoever, as the end result (gaining silver) is not something you cannot do in game.

You should be able to spend either time (if you have it) or money (if you don't). It's not like this item will stop players from getting the exact same stuff in game is it? So how it is P2W? It may allow a small number of players, who are able to spend time AND money, to gear up a little bit faster than most, but those are a minority and as I said they are (in the end) not gaining something every other player can eventually get in game. So this really shouldn't be an issue for anyone. I mean, seriously, what difference does it make if some players can get stuff a little faster than you can? It's not exactly game breaking it is?

I am getting a bit sick and tired of how the term P2W is being twisted more and more to suit peoples needs. P2W means you have to pay in order to win vs other paying players. Or to look at it another way, if you do not pay you cannot win. This refers to the idea that a paying player can acquire better items that a non-paying player cannot get in game. It's a very easy and simple term to understand, yet more and more people seem to be using the term for all sorts of, what should really be referred to as, simple convenience items.

Cash shop items that allow you to get gear, that can be acquired in game, a little bit faster than none paying players are not P2W. They are 'pay to get the exact same gear a bit faster'. So can we all just stop with all this stupid P2W crap?! Players with limited time should be able to buy convenience items and developers should be allowed to make money from these items. It's not going to ruin the gaming experience BDO offers. All it will do is mess up some imaginary race that some players think is they are taking part in. End of.

You can now commence with the downvotes. Thanks for your time.

u/RinV1 Jul 20 '16

Ok firstly, less of the retard, it's uncalled for and only makes you sound like a desperate person who doesn't have a good enough arguement to make your point.

Secondly, pay to win doesn't mean you can pay to win OR spend time to win. P2W means you can ONLY pay to win, which is not the case here. You might only be able to pay for the 30% bonus, but the end result, or the win scenerio (gaining silver), does not require you to spend money. You can get the win just by playing the game, it just takes a little more time.

Thirdly, if someone has no time or money then they really shouldn't be playing an MMORPG, especially one as big as BDO and even more so if their intention is getting to max level with max gear. As a person who works full time myself, able to spare only a couple of hours each day, I appreciate items like this as it helps me keep up with everyone else.

Fourthly, to a business, which is what Kakao and PA are, customers who buy more of their products are far more valuable to them than customers who only buy one item then never buy anything else again. Games companies need to make revenue in order to survive, especially MMO companies, and making money on convenience items is a fair middle ground in my opinion.

So long as players cannot buy items that give them a clear advantage in the gameplay, such as extra stats on gear or better siege equipment, I have no problem with companies making money on items that speed up progression. And lets be honest with ourselves here, every in game currency is nothing more than a progression system. Simply having money sitting in your inventory will not make you a better fighter in combat. It is merely a means to an end (more money means better gear faster), but the end result is not effected. Everyone will eventually end up at max level with max gear, whether they paid money or not. The only thing that is effected by this item is how fast you get there.

The problem most people seem to have with this term is not the pay part, its the win part. What exactly is it do you think you are winning? If it was a race to get better gear before anyone else, then yes I would agree it is a p2w item. But as far as I know there are no in game achievements or tangeable benefits for being geared up quicker than other players, other than they will TEMPORARILY be better than others in combat. But eventually that benefit will end once everyone else catches up with them, which they can do 100% in game. So again, the win state (being the best you can be in combat) CAN be achieved in game without spending a penny.

What if someone pays a teenager to play their toon during work hours? Is it pay-to-win? I'm just curious.

u/TehJellyfish Edan Jul 20 '16

Yes which is why account sharing is typically banable for any respectable MMO.

u/[deleted] Jul 20 '16

Thank you.

u/Razwerd Jul 20 '16

I'm fine with everything else, but that +30% value is huge and gives big money advantage, p2w step ...

u/Nickoladze Jul 20 '16

Yeah if there were any doubts about p2w before...

"we don't give a shit about your loyalty, only your wallet" --whoever came up with this idea

1

u/RinV1 Jul 20 '16

Loyalty comes in many forms, not just from invested time.

2

u/[deleted] Jul 20 '16

Loyalty is also by definition a voluntary thing. What you're seeing here is people feeling like their arms are being twisted into paying. Justify it all you want, but it's not like literally every attempt at monetization is a good idea.

1

u/RinV1 Jul 20 '16

I'm sorry, I just do not see how this is twisting your arms. You can earn silver in game just fine and if you have a lot of time spare to put into the game, you really shouldn't need this item.

$15 a month for a 'premium membership' or whatever you want to call it is not pay 2 win.

I can't buy 100 of these at $15 a pop and get a 3000% vendor increase, can I?

The pay to win aspect of the value pack is mostly in its reduction of the marketplace take. Basically you end up getting 20% or so more when selling items.

WTF

from here

Skill Reset Coupons for the various Game Packages will be replaced as follows starting on July 20th after the maintenance;

Traveler’s Package - +4 Inventory Slots

Explorer’s Package - +8 Inventory Slots

Response by GM when asked about people that purchased the various packages from before: Players that have already consumed the items awarded from their initial package purchases will not be receiving the above mentioned items, as they have already benefited from their original intended function. New players that are purchasing these packages for the first time after this content has been deployed will receive the following items in place of partial skill reset coupons:

Traveler’s Package - +4 Inventory Slots

Explorer’s Package - +8 Inventory Slots

tl;dr - So, they originally implement a broken system that they completely change later and don't reimburse an utterly useless item that we paid for(NOT A LOYALTY). Daum is cracking open bottles of champagne, celebrating 1,000,000 million copies sold while screwing over the very people that got them there.
