really wtf managment? they are practicly rising the price of tokens , I'm a cleric and it was extremely expensive to play 40-75 because spaming healings using potions is terrible, I got finally to 75+ but now MP food prices is rising up fast thanks to unlucky cashshopers who dint get a good prize from a token so they get they're gold back overpriucing tokens now that ppl buy them as crazy. if MP food go 3-4X current price I guess the only person I'll heal it'll be myself and have to lvl up an archer to grind without paying tons of coins for potions and now expensive MP food (or just look for another asian FTP game since there are many out there these days)

15k tokens x 3= 45,000 for 50 foods or 900 coin per food........and it's 5k mana per food

It's still considerably less than npc pot or mp charm

QQ less pl0x

Disclaimer - I did not read all of the posts in this topics, so please forgive it I repeat anothers' thoughts.

It seems to me like they might raise the level cap...The push to level more, level faster...

Alright well this is how hypers helps people who dont abuse it.

Regular People goes to work 8 to 10 hours a day. We get home , we like to relax a bit and enjoy the game.
It is true that we have bh , cs , wq ,mq to level up faster. But sorry we dont have time to be on all day to all that.
I know the next statement will be it only takes 1 hour each max, well i dont know how about trying to find squad with wines. This causes time to built up if your doing bh, cs (if you have alots of money use this method ) . World quest fastest wing withouth using teles takes about 50 minutes. Mq if you are married yea great another 40 minutes or so.

I guess the last two option would be hypers and oracle. Oracling is a waste of money in high level unless your very rich. Which finally goes to hypers. For everyday regular people hypers helps us reach the same level as our friends so we can all play together.

So stop complaining and saying that level 100 people have no idea how to play their classes. Yea its true that there are some but trust me it doesnt take 2 years to learn a class in a simple game.

At the sametime no matter what level you are , if you havent done something before you will be new to it until u get use to it. This can be TT, RB, Nirvana , Lunar or any instances or event.

So relax and calm down instead of just saying omg hyper noobs! .

I do agree that the sudden price drop on hyper does suck for those who stock up and sell. But atleast now everyone can do make more parties at higher level and learn more about the end game.

Regular people ruleZ!

So, have Token prices on the other servers fully recovered too, or is it just Sanctuary?

I got up this morning all bleary-eyed and wasn't paying attention, saw tons of people wanting to buy at 11k+ and thought, "Wow! Quick profit!", and sold 100m worth of Tokens for about 6% more than I paid for them just a couple of days ago.

Then I figured out why the price had gone up and started kicking myself, thinking I'd just sold them for too cheap. But prices are right back down to where they were a couple of days ago and I've already bought several thousand more for cheap, so I actually did the right thing despite being an idiot.

-EDIT-

Right now I'm doing my month's worth of Crazy Stones. I'm tempted to turn on X12 and get an extra ~200k XP, now that Hypers are so dirt-cheap. I suspect I'm not the only one.

mp regen powders puts you in battle mode also while you use BB and mp regen for BB just isn't enough. If there is another cleric in squad, he/she definately will override mp regen with buffs atleast couple times

Please explain your logic. If there are non-csers who don't have time to play or a lot of money to spend, then why should they be rushing to level?

Will you have time to sit through a full RB to do your Chrono? to get your 100 fairy? Will you run TT99 for gold mats? Will you have enough money to refine? to shard? to have end game gear? Will you sit through 1 hour Nirvanas or will you have the gear to be with 15min Nirvana groups? What will you do at lvl 100 that is different from what you will do now?

I don't have a lot of time to play either, I don't spend a lot of money either, but I'm not complaining about people being able to afford to hyper up because I play at my own pace. I merchant for my gear and level up as I see fit, not to keep up with people with more time and money on their hands.

I never said anything about rushing to level, or the need to keep up with other players, I in fact do play at my own pace as well. My boyfriend's barbarian is lvl 87, and we both started at roughlyt he same time. I simply level at a different pace. I merely mentioned the fact that hypers, when they are not abused in a cheap manner, can make some spots of the leveling process less tedious. For example, I absolutely hated doing the quests associated with Shining Tidewood and Orchid Temple, and a little extra boost in exp each day would have made the process feel a little more rewarding and a little less boring. As a Blademaster who makes use of all four weapon classes, I found it tedious, as well as taxing on resources, solo-ing many of the quests in those areas. I am now working on Swiftwind and Sundown/Arrivals, as well as finishing Angler village, and none of the quests or areas since then have been even remotely as bad.
Also, do not assume that, just because I have access to hypers much more easily, that I am, or will be, speeding through the game. Even if I had the real life moneys to play such a way, there is no point, as it would take the fun out of doing the quests, as well as make the higher levels much more difficult for me in the long run. I have been using the 8x hyper for a few days now, and I use the full ten times allowed per day, on ten mobs. Getting 8x exp from ten mobs a day may not be much, but the boost helps, yet doesn't go overboard. Not to mention, I keep my genie leveled with me, so every time I level up, all of my exp goes into my genie until she is ready to level up.

As for you mentioning all those endgame things that I have yet to experience and learn about, I will not be reaching that point for at least a few months. I do not do factions, I play my BM with a build that most would probably consider a fail build, so I solo the majority of the game, and have only a few friends ingame. I do tend to have money enough to cover pots and repairs most of the time without extra grinding, though I do now have to grind a bit to afford sharding new weapons(I make all my weapons myself for the extra bonuses and sockets) I even managed to get my dual blades to +6 with the 5 tienkangs you get as one of the extra rewards during the Coming of Age quests.

I suppose I may have slightly gone off on a tangent. The point I was making, is that, just because everyone can abuse hypers and rush through the game, and just because some people are idiots who don't bother learn and experience their class, does not mean that everyone will abuse hypers, and not everyone is an idiot too cheap and impatient to learn and experience their class. It is just as wrong that people make such assumptions as another excuse to complain about something in the game that is not "perfect". As I said before, the number of idiots rushing to endgame would remain the same regardless, as the majority of people who play this game are CSers anyway. But at least now, they can be bought cheaper(At least for the moment) by those who, like me, wish to use them as a little extra boost here and there, yet don't have much of a CS wallet, if any. Nothing is perfect(ironically), but then again, this wouldn't be an MMO if people didn't **** and moan over every small little thing.
In all, this is a minuscule change, and it does have it's good points. Rather than complain about it, we should all be pissing and moaning about actual problems that do not help anyone period, like the rubberbanding, or the DQ price reduction, or the fact that all of our complaining is pointless anyway because PWI refuses to try and get it's own team of decision-making developers.

IB spam is the main healing method, and most likely covers just about everything the quoted person's 40-75 cleric had been through. Chances are they didn't do drummer boy. And if a cleric needs to be informed of BB's 1/4 regen, then they are a hyper baby/not worth dealing with. I had the joy of discovering it fighting hellsmite thinking 100 regen would be great. Luckily had a charm and pots, or all DDs woulda died.

But the places of BB being used over IB are few and on specific bosses. His costs will be coming from IB.

Unfortunately this strategy makes PWI a lot of money and screws over us poorer players. What PWI does is make really hard to get powerful gear suddenly common, so that us poorer players who have so long envied the richer players flock to get this "rare" gear at the "reduced" prices.

Levels used to be what everyone strived for, and since PWI made it easy with hyper stones and BH's poorer people have flocked to buy them up. Now that lvl 102 isnt even surprising anymore, they had to make it cheap.

The problem is that a few weeks, or months later PWI comes out with even BETTER gear, and all the rich players again far outstrip us normal players. Eventually nirvana will be ridiculously cheap, and rank 9 will be what everyone tries to farm. Then PWI will come up with something that makes rank 9 look like a joke.

Pretty sure PWi will release something epic upon lvling to 105.

Gives incentive for lvling....and ppl will NEED more $$$$ to get it.

That sounds a bit more accurate.

*cough*rank 9 equipment*cough*

i see many herc/nix venos running around if that happensb:dirty.

So what happens when hyper sale is over? 50k tokens?

Nothing.

Even with hypers on sale, they're still 3x more expensive in the cash shop than they are with tokens.

Don't be surprised, there are still 3 spaces open in the menu ^^

I highly doubt they'd add SoF or Feathers. They make lots of money from them.

I'm thinking that their hyper sales took a pretty sharp dive recently... making them available cheaply through tokens benefits PWE in the long run as more people hypering to 100 = more potential people spending money on the game.

Next will be celestial insignias, hopefully.
