New DQ System Suggestion Thread

Here's a suggestion, why don't you update DQ page once in a week, so we could get the reward's before they are out of order. b:angry

This wasn't made very clear in any announcements, will the current DQ points carry over or will they be wiped for the new system? I don't want to spend all the points on something I don't really want and then good stuff shows up in the new system.

See the bottom of the first post:

There doesn't need to be a new DQ system at all. Make DQ items give like 1-5 event silver and put all the rewards in the event boutique.

I think it would be awesome if you could put a unicorn mount in the new DQ reward system. Ever since I started playing been wanting a unicorn mount, but I don't have the funds to buy the pack. When the pack first came out I bought 20 of them & not a single one had a unicorn mount in it, so I was very disappointed. I also think it would be cool if you put the Wedding Packs in the New DQ System reward. Thanks!

Make the more rare book drops from unplayed instances be available as DQ rewards. Like the 2 psy books for instance. i know other classes have some as well. the ones that cannot be made with myst. pages/OPB/POF It's virtually unheard of to find them on Archosaur server. I think that many people would be pleased by this addition.

love that idea, especially now that those books are needed before you can get the upgrade for those skills b:surrender

I suggest you do away with DQ points altogether and instead you bolster what DQ items were in the beginning anyway. Make them a mat, used in quests to make equipment and other things, that is what Dragon QUEST is all about right?

That said, why not make more equipments for the game, this game is seriously lacking in the ornament department, you could make an entire ornament equipment chain using nothing but dragon quests. Do that! We seriously need more variety in the form of rings, necklaces, belts, capes and hats/helmets.

If you choose to do this, make sure that any equipment added to the game is VIABLE, meaning something people would want to wear and at all levels, while also not giving in to too much power creep. (Warning, obligatory insult coming next) Not like you would care about power creep, you haven't in the past and likely won't going forward. K, got that out of my system.

You forgot to put my ideab:cryb

Make DQ itens tradeable for materials of the same lvl

EX: DQ(21) can be traded for coal, iron bar, grease
DQ(31) can be traded for higher level materials

INCLUDING THOSE FOUND ONLY IN monsters

I deffinately think that event gold should stay a DQ refundable item within any new system, however i think the event boutique needs some updating. Its been the same stuff for ages. Now we can decomp fashion into pigments so people have been buying Late Night Coats but other than that everyone just buys smileys, charms, and refines ;o give us some new shiny stuff to purchase with all this event gold we are farming now with auto cultivation.

i would like on fuw lvls like the chest that we have now to be like also a chest for dg points and reward for dg items would like to be it packs to open and other nice stuff like dragon orbs but all not tradeble but you can do chains the orb from 3 to 4 with merchant or juwelcraft i forgot wich one i hope we get for dr points reward packs with nice stuffs

On the new system I would like to see more items for rewards but, I wouldnt want to see any of the current rewards taken out either. The random dyes are probably one of my most bought things to dye clothes without having to spend actual coin on randoms from other people.

Hmm ... that is an interesting topic.

I personaly think that the DQ system got destroyed during the last years, while it can still turn to be one of the most interesting aspects of the game. Why? Well - because it brings people outside of the safezones, so it adds diversity, so it boosts population in servers. On several occasions i was close to end up my experience with PWI because honestly - what is the point of a big open world if there is noone around it? The dailies kinda return people every now and than on the maps, but not for long...

Now I know that the DQ system was messing up with the economy of PWI, because players kept farming those and sell em to NPCs - thus generating inflation. So it became a goal for PWi to constantly reduce the prices of those items and mess em up. Yet in my opinion this was a major bad initiative, because it made a great part of the playerbase to quit. There were more elegant approaches to decide over this situation. For example:

What I like to see in PWi are specific pots that can be made exclusively with DQ items or that can be CS-ed. That way even if the DQ NPC price is reduced to 500 coins people would be still interested to farm them and sell them to other players - while in the same time keeping the economy of the servers clean, because DQs won't generate new money - they will just be reselled within the community that shares an already existing amount of coins.

Now when I say specific pots, I mean pots that do not stack up with buffs and that can enhanse the PVE and PVP experience of any class. POTS THAT ARE WORTH FARMING!

For example - a pot with 20 minutes buff that does not dissapear on death and that adds a mana shield, absorbing 20% of the incoming damage can be made with 50 dq items, or 5 of those pots can be bought from the Cash shop for 1 gold. Such type of pots would revolutionize the game for most casters and will return them to the fields of the map in the same time.

To make things even more interesting, you can build an entire new profession skill based on the DQ system, where everyone would have to make hundreds of those pots in order to level it up from ... lets say:

level 1 - 10 minutes duration / 15% mana absorbtion of received damage (requires 25 DQ items) ; level 2 - 15 minutes duration / 20% mana absorbtion of damage (requires 35 DQ items) / level 3 - 20 minutes duration / 25% mana absorbtion of damage (requires 45 DQ items or 5 can be sold in Cash shop for 1 gold).

Another great pot for any defensive build would resemble the Sand Miasma mage skill, that reduces the chances to receive Critical Hit from opponents for a certain time. If you add to it as well a reduction of the possibility to be stunned, or a chance to remove all negative status effects including stuns, than you guys will revolutionize the entire Perfect world PVP fundaments, because people will start to think again, what to use in order to survive. And what is even greater is that those buffs will be with a limited duration, thus creating constant demand - meaning that people will actually have to farm constantly for them, or resuply easily their stashes from the Cash Shop, without damaging the economy of the server trough monetary inflation. Let's immagine the 3 levels of that potion:

level 1 - duration 10 minutes / bonuses - 5% reduction of the chance to receive a critical hit and 10 % chance to evade a stun or an immobilizing skill (requires 25 DQ items); (This pot should stack with sand miasma for mages)

Level 2 - duration 15 minutes / Bonuses 10% reduction of the chance to receive a critical hit and 20% chance to evade a stun or an immobilizing skill (requires 35 DQ items);

Level 3 - Duration 20 minutes / Bonuses 15% reduction of the chance to receive a critical hit and 30% chance to evade a stun or an immobilizind skill (requires 45 DQ items or 5 can be sold in Cash shop for 1 gold)

Another example could be an offensive potion that is not necessarily going to be based purely on damage. Imagine a potion that increases your critical hit rate along with the rage that you have for a certain amount of time:

Level 1 - Duration 10 minutes / Bonuses 3% critical hit rate + 30% higher critical damage (requires 25 DQ items)

Level 2 - Duration 15 minutes / Bonuses 4% critical hit rate + 40% higher critical damage (requires 35 DQ items)

Level 3 - Duration 20 minutes/ Bonuses 5% critical hit rate + 50% higher critical damage (requires 45 DQ items to be made or 5 of it can be bought from Cash shop for 1 gold)

Another example for a great offensive potion for casters (venos and mystics) would be the one that increases the damage of pets and of skills that deal damage over time and bleeding effects, because they are currently worthless for PVP. Example:

Level 1 - Dur. 10 minutes / Increases the effects of all bleeding and damage over time skills by 200% & Increases the damage of pets by 8% (requires 25 DQ items)

Level 2 - Dur. 15 Minutes / Increases the effects of all bleeding and damage over time skills by 250% & Increases the damage of pets by 11% (requires 35 DQ items)

Level 3 - Dur 20 Minutes / Increases the effects of all bleeding and damage over time skills by 300% & Increases the damage of pets by 15% (requires 45 DQ items or 5 of it can be purchased in cash shop for 1 gold)

And just because I am addicted to casters does not mean that Melee classes should not be protected - imagine a pot that increases the specific elemental defense (lvl 1 - 30% / lvl 2 - 40% / lvl 3 - 50%) for 6 seconds after receiving the damage from a certain skill. For example if a mage hits a barb with pyrogram, his fire defense (of the barb) would be increased for 6 seconds, forcing that mage to actually use his brains to figure what his next attack would be, instead of just pressing buttons;

Overall there are many unexplored areas in Perfect world, that can still return the playerbase towards the game and the DQ system is definitely one of those. Experiment with it and with the possibilities for different buffs trough it. Add a vast variety of them that is worth to be grinded and purchased. Add production skills based on the DQ system, add pots - those were just few of the hundreds that come in my mind... But do not kill it. Because in MMORPGS as in real life the market depends on the number of players within it. The more players you have, fighting for dominance - the more deals they make between each other and the more you get rich trough all alternative methods for the few ones, willing to walk trough the fast line. That is how internet casinos do their work - they do not **** it over a fast deal that will lose their entire target group after 1 or 2 moths! They are sustainable. And sustainable in virtual games is meaning to be constantly attractive for everyone.

Anyway - if your management decides to hear the playerbase, I am sure that there can still be many good years to come for PWI. What you have to do however is to share the alternatives for success in this game, because 50% profit of something is better than 100% profit of nothing. In other words - you guys need to change the ways how you milk your golden cow. b:bye

I agree but with some minor tweaks. 1-5 event silver for 1 dq is a very small amount. we currently get more than that at the moment (if all your buying is demon sage event cards). But, it would be a lot easier on the system if it just rewarded one prize (probably less site problems too). I feel like the same amount of dq points should be needed for all the current prizes. example, a makeover scroll or random pigments, should stay the same amount of dq that is already required (about 29 dq100 for makeover, 15 dq100 for a pigment) ... so making the adjustments of how much event gold they cost would need to be evaluated and not made some random overpriced amount.

currently, a demon sage event card costs 1429 DQ100. that means 29 DQ100 would equal about 1 event gold. that means 1 DQ100 equals about 29 event silver. back onto the makeover scroll - that should still cost 29 dq100 which would be 1 event gold, and pigments would be about 51-52 event silver. And then of course, lesser level DQ items would be less event silver.

HP/MP Charms but better then plat because they will be harder to get and i see someone earlyer in the post saying something about rotating the list every week or other week that would be awesome also i really think HP pots would be great also but way better then crab because honestly crab sucks if your a barb with high hp it really does next to nothing for healing back up those 3 big things alone i think would be 100% outstanding
