Compass Waypoint Purchase
#70271 - 07/25/08 03:49 PM

I know that compass waypoints are used mostly for farming, but only one spot? I think it would be nice to be able to purchase additional compass-set waypoint slots.

Doesn't have to be cheap so all the kiddies have 10, but maybe 100 King Coins for the first, and increment it by another 100 for each spot purchased, up to... say at least 5.

I think it would make it more fun, especially to people who solo, they could go to a few different bosses not having to look for a group that is going to a boss they don't have set.

It has been suggested here and on Idea Runners. My stance is... Why? At any point, you can have three places to go (waypoint, compass, and last gate). I could not imagine needing any more than that. If you lose a waypoint or such, some people are nice enough to give you a waypoint. You just have to see who is in the area you wish to be in and ask them to help you out.

Well, the devs are working on a way to implement NCCoin microtransactions. I can see folks paying for the ability to use more than one wp compass.

Soooo hard with prices. For newbies that sounds like crazy much, but for most lvl 100's it's a drop in the ocean only. And then I don't quite see why so many should be used. 3 is probably better. Remember, all these little "helpful" additions just makes the game easier and easier, thus people going bored faster and leaves for another game.

But having a total of 3 WP compasses would be cool though. 100 KC's for the second and 500 for the 3rd maybe?
I'm curious too what the NCCoin microtransactions will bring.

I dunno, it's just my opinion that it will make things less boring, because you'd have more choices available to you at a given time. If newbies think 100 is a lot, then it gives them something to work towards and stay longer, and gives higher levels more freedom.

As far as NCCoin goes... I played Maplestory when I was bored last year, a lot of items on there are purchasable using "Nexon Cash" a lot of items were cheap, maybe 50 cents. Where they get ya is there's a minimum transaction where you have to buy $20 worth of Nexon points, if I remember correctly. And because everything's so cheap, why not buy that special armor you've been looking at? We'll not a trap I'd fall into.

What I would like is if any NCCoin that was used in Dungeon Runners, goes toward the development of Dungeon Runners, not just into any general NCSoft fund.

NCCoins work pretty much the same way, Colussus, except you can purchase them in various amounts starting as low as $1 worth of NCCoins (100 coins):

Linky...

BTW - from what I've read, there was great outcry and much gnashing of teeth on the Exteel boards when NCCoins were announced, but it turns out it's a pretty good system.

I didn't look into the exact workings of NCCoin, but I was just assuming based on how other similar ideas are run... good to know they aren't greedy
