Remove the completion requirement from the Episode Clear Tickets

Choi

The Episode quests provide a good influx of their currency to be used by the players and there is a benefit from completing the quest.

However, not all players enjoy the quest system and instead find it tedious. I know some of my guild members enjoy the questing, but the majority of them don't enjoy having to go through the episode quests. A few members have quit playing because of the requirement to complete the Episode quests in order to get their gears.

I suggest removing the requirement to have "at least 1 character among your master account" that has completed the quest. That way players who enjoy questing can still quest, but players who don't enjoy the questing system won't have to do it.

I hate doing episode quests, but this is a part of the game that is a must! First of all, it's learning the history of the game, and secondly, it's big rewards for completion. The wiki has full details where you are led by the hand, you have to do it ONE time and then buy tickets and skip it if you are a lazy person like me. Let's also remove the farm, create a 260 level character right away. I've seen posts about whining and laziness before, but this one tops it all 😃

Pipo When someone has finished the content 100x, it's no longer "history", it's inconvenience.

Bahira People like having alts. When those alts are FORCED to repeat a quest chain, some will find that sickening. (I do) Because of how many times it was already repeated in the past. So, some will quit if they feel this way. It's not anyone's fault, it's just the repetition can be too much over a period of time, and some can actually develop ptsd from doing something for so long, knowing the length and annoyance created it. 😃

Just giving my 2cents, I find the "at least 1 character among your master account" fits the philosophy of MuhRO just correctly. At least the player would get to see the kRO part of the game once. My possible solution for this would be:

the Cash Shop Episode Skip Ticket to not having this requirement

This way if someone really, like REALLY don't want to do the quest. They can support the server financially. The players would prolly only buy these ticket once anyway.

I support this idea.
If you really want to skip everything, you gotta pay for it.

Otherwise 1 char per Master Account aint that bad

Bahira

Meer
but then make it a good amount, since you can buy cash with muh coins...

Josh IMO although it's fine the way it is, I must say once per master account sounds very nice. I liked this idea.

Bahira

I really really do hate the questing..
yes it's tedious as heck but i would not want the requirement to be removed. I would even go as far and make it one clear required per game account not just master, but that's just my masochistic vein lol.
And might just be me but ppl quitting over having to do a few quests is kinda ridiculous..

Choi

Yeah! I didn't even realize there was a non-cash shop episode clear ticket, but I was referring to the cash shop clear ticket! An alternative would also be to have two options: an option where the player has to complete it once and a more expensive option where the player does not have to complete it once.

Questing imo isn't a mechanic in the game that I would think is core to the game (as opposed to things like leveling and farming), and it should be left to the player to decide whether to go through the quests or not.

Totally agree! once per master account sounds reasonable!

beewwbss

Ya. Definitely agree. There are some who don't want to quest, but use the episode clear ticket to gain access to maps. Having at least 1 character to complete the quests before they can use the ticket doesn't help the case.

intrepidenigma

Agree'd, have one character on one's master account seems very reasonable in my opinion.

cincauorganik

I agree, in a way. Not everyone has the time and resource to do the quests, and a few friends I know would rather pay a small amount to skip the quest. It would be nice if there's an option to buy a clear ticket that can skip the quest without having to do it first. It's definitely an option, esp. for some of us who don't have the time but would like to catch up with our friends in higher level dungeons that need better gears.

I literally work 10 hrs a day +1hr to get there and back home, besides running a houshold and on weekends i'm usually out and about.. i don't have much time to play but still did the quests 17-19, no issue - well except 1 technical issue and one dumb moment.
Don't come with the "no time" excuse.
I really start to wonder lately why some ppl are even here, they don't seem to want to play but rather just have everything gifted and skip right to the endgame.
I actually get it, if ppl played on other servers before, know most things and feel lazy about doing it again, but that's how it is, get over it.
"Hey i don't have much time to play, so please just let me skip everything" Maybe a Rate 1000x Server would be more suitable.
Just do the Quests once and you're good for the rest of your Muh Life.

DragonMaxter

my 2 cents on this. walking back and forth between NPCs is tedious and mind numbing. most modern MMOs have an auto move system, a better mount system, or keep the NPCs very close to each other. The majority of RO players are adults now, and we dont tend ot ave the time or patience we did in the 2000s when we first played RO. thats why you dont see so many 5x servers around any more. It's just a respect to your time.

Pipo

EvilLumi Useless argument, I'm against it and that's it, let Muh decide. You know my opinion.

Bahira

EvilLumi you literally have to do it 1 time with 1 char and then you can buy a ticket, all that's left to say
