Nexus... -> Regarding balance, level cap, and spending (4/7/2011 14:48:40)

Every time the level cap increases our weapons get outdated and we have to spend more money to keep up with everyone else in order to win and maintain a good percent. Furthermore the balance issues that NW and Titan have been trying to fix for the last 9 months will be thrown out the window as OP builds get more OP and stats can be further abused etc. I feel like this system is twisted and would like to know what everyone else's thoughts on it are. Even without the level cap, the amount of varium needed to maintain stature in game is insanity. I have always been someone to say that its not about the weapons but more so about the player and his/her strategy. However we all know that new level 33 weapons will come soon, the majority of which will have 1-4 more stats, which means more enhancement slots more damage, and more varium. Where and when does this end? I don't know who can sustain such a game when it is based solely upon varium. To do anything in this game, to watch a cutscene of a canon firing, to add a number to a stat, you need varium. It really is not how it should be. I really enjoy this game, and have been here a very long time, and have contributed so much to this game. However the likelihood of someone like myself playing this game for another year or two is so far out of question. I guess what I am asking everyone to discuss s whether or not this game is about quality or money. Where are the game-play/engine releases? When was the last time we got a release that we were happy with, looked forward too, and enjoyed that did not involve VARIUM? This game has a dependency on it and it needs to stop. When someone pays for a game, shouldn't they be satisfied or content? Why do I feel like this will never end, and that at some point I will stop playing because there is no end in sight? Oh well, respond if you like, delete this post, lock it, do whatever, I do not mean it as an insult. I am just trying to figure out why the developers keep overlooking this very large issue.

I think that was when charfade became battleable - looked an interesting fight, so i looked forward to it, and ended up being almost as worthy a fight as with Big Tuna

Im not sure if it ever will, if it ever can. Promotional items are becoming commonplace, and every level's items have to cost more in nearly every case. i could start a rant about [INSERT LACK OF VARIUM IN ITEM SELLBACK RANT HERE] but that isn't going to help, im just going to stick with the game and the ever-changing build that i make for my mage, and see it through for now. The enhancements we have to buy + the actual weapon costs are just going to grow, until they realise that this cannot go on forever. They can't exactly start making items worse at this stage, it would slow-stop varium purchases, and cause some outcry, but something may have to be done.

If you want to win and make a good win %, not having to pay for the game, just npc. It doesn't cost varium to fight npc an hour right?

I may do that if i lose alot. So far i'm good.
