MuffinGo Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Bns English version is actually just like a money making machine, and I'm going to tell you why. im currently playing in TW version, but since I'm a Chinese do I don't need the English patch for better understanding. In TW version, once I get the premium account status I will have the movable personal storage (In English version you need to be premium membership rank 10 for this one extra benefit) and there is no account ranking system in the TW version. In English version, way to earn hoongmoon coin is thru spending nc coin or currency exchange. In TW they will give you 300 hoongmoon coin everyday as long as you're in premium status or you can purchase a 11000 hoongmoon coin booster selling 700NT. In TW version they have this in game voip and giving you the option to turn off and on during raid or in the CLAN. In English version, you have nothing. The stability of the English version was same like China when they released, it is like a test client rather a 'finalize" client. It is not stable, lower graphic, low optimization but China is having the most optimized version now after they get knowing that Chinese love the game. Same goes to TW, JP and KR. sorry for my bad English, but I really had enuff of NA version even tho I already spent 800USD. I love the game, not the publisher.

JumpingBean Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 It's always been like that. The American video game industry stopped concentrating on improving their game and concentrated more on micro transactions. some examples: game DLC, pre-ordering, pay walls, energy/stamina systems, rng based in game lottery(some even go as far as implement casino style games). The only difference is freebies. While most foreign versions of a game are very generous to their player base, their American counter parts get the shaft.

Fatalito Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 If this version is as some say, a quick cash grab, then we won't even be having those finalized/optimized versions nor any of those benefits you mentioned. Have fun in the TW version (which I'll never play because I only know bad English.) In fact. Not sure why you even posted this. Perhaps you expect us all to quit this NA game or stop spending money on it? Or just a "mine is better" thing? No offense. Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just pure sharing, I used to play in TW version but I start over again when they released NA version because I love to start over again. I spent on it and hope for a better stable version when each time they patched even tho they failed me but not once, twice or even more. After few years of developed of this game, why the latest game released region is getting shit version of the game? So this is what you should start thinking.

Fatalito Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Thanks for answering. I do agree that we should all ask (politely) to get a better fixed version and maybe some of those ease of life upgrades other versions get. I also don't know what goes in the minds of the people who release a version of the game when there was a better version. But they might have their reasons. Even if they are money based.

Fifi2 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Unfortunately I have to agree with the op. Just look at the Dragon Pouches prices and tell me if this is not a cash grab. Some ~20 pieces are 800 HM coins which is ~20 euro. One slot on the mid of your inv costs 15 pouches. This is insane... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeroZeroes Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Because NCwest knows demographics. They know English version attracts such a huge crowd, they can do away with some effort, and still reap an impressive player-base. KR and TW has a much smaller and more competitive market. To retain players in that market, they have to be much more generous with benefits + ease of life tools. In NA/EU, there isn't much competition right now, WoW and GW2 have 'aged' Skyforge killed itself after 1/2 a year, ToS is a grindfeast not for everyone, BD is just a character photoshop tool, FFXIV has it's own fan base and p2p structure, not targetting the same market Wildstar lol Terra is so yesterday There is little to no competition here. They can do what they want, and still keep us here. We have nowhere to go if we want MMORPGs in international version. Therefore there is little to no need for giving us additional benefits or sweet icing. Just the typical stuff will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domriana Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 In NA version even benefits we are SUPPOSED to get for free are behind a paywall It's the little things like this that really show how much NC actually cares about it playerbase vs. profit margin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not getting what you're supposing to be and you seems totally satisfied with what you're getting now, and sounds like you totally surrender to whatever shi t they threw at you.

I have no idea which part of my entire reply gave you the entire I am 'totally satisfied' and 'totally surrender' with/to what NCwest did, I just gave assumptions to why they don't bother to give us the kind of treatment like in other servers.

HailNKill Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Sadly, there will always be people who pay for this game so ncsoft is highly unlikely going to try and do any good for this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memow0w Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Well, they make the same mistakes, the same way they failed with AION. It's not about the bots, it's just about region, on EU / NA we always had poor quality services. They are greedy as fk if the TW version has no ranks for premium users...

Luucy Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 @MuffinGo Thank you for these informations that quite confirm what I thought... Maybe we could get improved versions of the server once they realize we love the game as much even if I think I'm only dreaming... 11 minutes ago, Lexter said: I spended just once premim on start for skip queue. I promis i will never spend any other cent in this bugged cash grab. I did exactely the same. I won't pay a cent anymore since I don't notice huge improvements in the game management.
