February 28th list of improvements for the future

[Ezodagrom]

The list of changes set for a future update near the end of March through April.

I wish we could exchange 10 star weapons and units.

• We’ll add a feature that will allow you to display 10 star weapon and units in My Shop
• While Premium Set is active, you can purchase 10 star weapons/units in My Shop in exchange for a 10 star weapon/unit. You will be able to trade a 10 star weapon and unit at the Recycle Shop to receive a pass that enables you to purchase a 10 star weapon/unit.

What about Hunter Balance Changes?

We’ll buff hunters in the following ways.

• Change the effectiveness of Guard Stance to percentage increases.
• Change the effectiveness of Fury Stance to percentage increases.
• Warcry users will take priority as the target
• Since we make continued efforts to adjust the game’s balance, we will address these changes in a future update and ask that you wait a while.

I want to see Parallel Areas more often.

• We’ll add a feature for it to appear in the boss’s arena after you clear the quest.
• Since we will address this in a future update, we ask that you wait a while.

You should allow us to reset our skill trees when you add or make changes to skills.

• Whenever skills are added and major skills are changed, we will distribute skill tree reset items.
• Since we will address this in a future update, we ask that you wait a while.

There are too many titles dealing with weapon grinding.

• We will stop adding new titles for (grinding) specific weapons.
• We’ll establish new titles based on the number of times you reach +10 for weapons 7 star or higher.
• We will establish new rewards when grinding weapon to +10.

I want you to increase the EXP you acquire when there’s a large gap in enemy levels.

• We will raise the minimum amount of reduced EXP you acquire when there’s a large difference in enemy levels.

I want you to reduce the risk when failing a grind.

• We will reduce the chances of risk when failing a grind.
• We will proceed cautiously and address this in a future update.

More details about the 10* trading system and a few other things.

So Sakai received many comments about those future changes, so lets take a look at some of them below.

I want to be able to trade 10 star Weapons and Units

Excluding some items, you will now be able to place 10 star weapons and units in your My Shop. [As it stands now, 11 star and higher weapons take no part in the transaction.] (You can see where this is going.)
Prior to players being able to purchase these items, they can visit the recycle shop and exchange a 10 star weapon or unit to receive a [★10武器購入パス] or [★10ユニット購入パス]. In other words, in exchange for a 10 star weapon or unit, you will receive a [10★ Weapon Purchasing Pass] or a [10★ Unit Purchasing Pass]. Using the pass and meseta in this way allows you to purchase the item at the My Shop. Active Premium Set is required. However, some 10 star weapons and units do not qualify for this pass.
Basically, only the person who obtains a 10 star weapon/unit by themselves, can purchase another player’s 10 star weapon/unit.

Hunter Skill Changes

• A percentage effect will be applied for Guard Stance and Fury Stance. (For example: ##%.)

Grind Risk Failure

• By examining the situation when failing a grind, they have decided to reduce the chances of Risk that occurs.

When Skills are Added and Changed

• When major changes occur, they will distribute an item that “Resets All Skill Trees.”

These changes should be addressed sometime near the end of March through April.

JP players...

It's a major concern for completionists.

Also what do they mean by the EXP thing? Like instead of a 5 level gap, it'll be 6-10? Or instead of garbage exp with more than a 5 level gap, you now get garbage+1?

[Drifting Fable]

Well, parallel areas in the boss room should help me hunt down Burn Draals.

10* trading for premium only is till just as stupid as regular trading being premium only. But I suppose it was expected.

Seems like it's the 2nd one, if an enemy is 5 levels or higher than the player, you get garbage+1 exp (I hope I'm wrong, but it seems like that). :x

[The Walrus]

They really don't want to do the smart thing and just remove the exp nerf do they :/

[jooozek]

someone explain to me how is tying endgame weapons to premium a improvement
do tell

[The Walrus]

It's basically allowing premium users to trade 10 stars.

It's a major concern for completionists.

I think it's more likely that players complained it was too hard to obtain and grind the rares to get all the titles, so instead of fixing the actual problems in this scenario they just stopped adding titles

You know, like when players said rares were so hard to find that it was easier to buy them, so to resolve that issue they made it impossible to buy them

F2P design hard at work.
