You don't even need myhax to own Spicy Dragon's butt...
Because really you constantly have to update your myhax equips to " keep up with the Joneses " in PvP. A good example is the lv 190 Wedding Day Gatcha equips (only available for a limited time). Many players missed out on the Wedding stuff, so they have the lv 130 sets instead.
The problem is there's a HUGE jump in stats between the lv 130 sets and the lv 190 Wedding sets. So like say even though one lv 200 Dark Lord has godly comps on his lv 130 Pluto set........he still gets his butt whooped because a ton of other lv 200 PvP opponents were luckier and have their lv 190 Bride Befanna following them around.
Ntreev is just so ridiculously slow about adding PERMANENTLY available sets. Why? Because now it's all about the lolboxes and Gacha. Both of which are random in some way, so you're forced to spend lots of cash to finally get what you want.
They might as well just slap " P2P " on this game already...... |
QFT.
Remember the days when we drooled over the Arin and Kooh sets? Nyxx and Noxx sets? And how "godly" the Hallows Locket was? Back then, everyone had the same equips whenever a new equip set came out. Their availability was timed, but of course, people just bought the set they needed and that's it.
After that, they brought in the World Star SE boxes. We had our first taste of lolboxes. Then came the Queen/Princess boxes. Oh, but that was alright. I considered the Queen boxes a kind of "one-time" thing they did. It was fun for a while, opening boxes and not knowing what you'd get... like opening Christmas presents. At that time, we still had plenty of permanent equip sets like the Mary/Sharon/Andrew sets and such.
Then came Love boxes and Lucky boxes. Okay, the lolboxes trend started to catch on. But we still had the Planetary sets to look forward to. Now? Lulz. I don't even know if we'll get equip sets anymore. Everything for high level players is contained in lolboxes now... equips, accessories, capes, pets... just wait 'til they introduce some really hax head accessory and eye wear - ONLY TO BE FOUND IN LOLBOXES! ...or Gacha. Another form of lolboxes - the gambling concept is all the same.
As a regular MyShop user and a keen PvP/GvG'er, I'm torn. I want to be able to enjoy the competitive aspects of the game, so I make myself buy lots of MyShop to keep up. I don't want to be "out-haxxed" by others. But a part of me really miss the days when all we had to save up our points for were equip sets. Lolboxes don't mean a thing. Those equips and stuff are still in MyShop for you to buy, but the prices have just jumped straight through the roof and into the sky. Occasionally, you might be really lucky to open a box with something really "hax" for less than $5, but most of us know all too well that we have to spend, like, way over $50 on lolboxes just to get a full set of hax equips.
Ridiculous. But what can we do? NTreev sucks money out of us faster than leeches can suck blood. :inf:
