Mlc Gachapon Suggestions

So the MLC would like to bring up Gachapon for a possible revamp.

The main thing we'd like to ask would be: What would you like to see added and removed from the gachapon. The two main categories would be aesthetic and in game items. Also, there's no limits on suggestions, so if there's something else you'd like to suggest, go ahead and do so.

Happy mapling~

*shrug* also fair enough.

My opinion of the gachapon is that I wouldn't mind if there was a good thing here and there that would help out with in game things aside from collectibles, aesthetics, etc. A year or so ago I did gach and got 2 pairs of spectrum goggles, and it kick started me being able to afford a lot of things by selling them.

I do think that there needs to be a loss factor to using the gachapon, as it's a gambling machine essentially. Also, things like Ra, or good endgame equips should not be implemented in the gach, ever XD But like I said above, some things that would boost things aside from collectibles without being op.

[quote=mageofbattles]*shrug* @ando2112 I'm gonna be frank, trying to sound all official gets tiring. Simply because I don't share my opinion, doesn't mean I don't have one. The point of this thread isn't for me to voice my opinion. It's to gather what you guys want, suggest it to the MLC and then get it to the higher ups..[/quote]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gashapon - Many gashapon are considered collector's items, with rare ones fetching extremely high prices in secondhand markets.

I think from all the responses in this thread as well you have your answer. Make it a tool for collectors, chairs, perm mounts, items, and get rid of everything you can get ingame. Gacha should have no effect on the gameplay and each ticket purchase should be a well that's not too bad rather than a great I should have transfered that 1k into 200mil rather than 1000 meso.

Gach would be awesome if youre only able to get stuff like PERM mounts, chairs and also adding in damage skins to gach would be great. Lot of the other things such as the scrolls and useless equips make it not worth spending 1k nx to get NPCed junk

@WindowLegs That's literally a copy and paste of a previous comment of another thread. If you don't have anything to add to the discussion, please, don't post.

*sigh* that aside. I'd like to ask you guys if you think of gachapon as a way to get power, or if it's more for collecting. So far a lot of you guys have brought up adding in more collectables, I'll make sure to add that to the list.[/quote]

At the top of your list should be to remove Timeless/Fearless/Reverse Equips,
Getting rid of that alone will make a lot of us happy

I agree with you, as if he didn't start off his own suggestion of what should be removed at least. Such as all the crummy Timeless, Scrolls, [C] & [D] Nebs, Empress Gear and Necro gear I believe.

Would be nice if they could finally add Maroon Mop to Gachapon.
Still don't understand why equips like that are still left out of GMS.

Remove all the useless equips and scrolls. Replace them with RA. This might in turn lead to removing ra from marvel? RA equips are fairly easy to get anyway. A higher chance of getting a decent ranked nebulite. So b and above.

Mix dye coupons. A higher chance of getting chairs would be nice. Rare androids maybe? Would love to see the futuroid again, though this time able to equip a permanent heart. Mounts should be permanent only. Cool statless or low stat titles and medals for anvilling might be an idea. On that note lf> title anvil. Some new damage skins would be nice? Like some that were available from the gacha stamp event. Or old event skins like white heaven maybe?

Since this is gacha and the tickets are relatively cheap compared to marvel and such, I'm not going to hope for much concerning superior lidium or titanium hearts. I think gacha would be better as mainly aesthetics, so like many other people said rare collectables.

Items given out from the gachapon should have minimum epic potential with the chance to be legendary.

As has already been mentioned, the addition of NEW collectable items into the gachapon would be great. There are tons of items that haven't been released in gms, that currently exist in the database; this is a good place to start.

But DO NOT re release OLD aesthetic/collectable items. This only devalues the ones in current existence, and harms the sub group of players known as collectors. The only people who actually genuinely care about the history and the value of said items are the collectors. If you re release them, the vast majority of users wouldn't even care, and it would only lead to more people quitting.

Remember that masteria update that re introduced all of the itcg items? Yeah, quite a few collectors quit the game because of that. They spent time, effort, and even in some cases money, to obtain those items only to have their value and rarity become nothing in an instant.

The average mapler does not care about collectables, so re releasing them would not affect them greatly; Where as the collectors would be the ones to suffer.

To be clear: CREATE NEW ITEMS, DO NOT BRING BACK OLD ONES THAT WERE ALREADY RELEASED.

I'd like an actual way to know how close I am to a Power Gachapon ticket. I only buy tickets after Gachapon updates, should I see something I want, and I lose track of how far into the 20 tickets I am. ... In fact, could the requirement for Power Gachapon be lowered to like 15? Most of the time, even Power Gach. gives useless stuff, but I actually got my Ferris Wheel chair from it.

Maybe add pets to Gachapon, but unlike normal pets, they don't have Item/Meso pickup by default. This limitation would be so having them tradeable wouldn't be an issue (I'd understand $1 for a pet that can auto-pickup being a problem). If you want a specific pet off-season, buy it in FM and then get the buffs for it from CS (or re-release of Beefy). [i]I know this is a terrible idea. Just thinking of something, and hoping someone else here can improve on it.[/i]

Increase collector items.
Decrease useless potions/equips/temporary things like mounts.

[b]Add:[/b]
- New collector items (possibly tradeable accessories, such as face equips, eye equips and shoulder over lvl 70)
- A set of equipment that is only obtainable through the gachapon <- This would be cool; I'm picturing blue and red equips
- Reward point tokens
- A gachapon medal or title
- RA equips

[b]Remove:[/b]
- Timeless equips and other equips of that nature
- Useless scrolls
- Useless nebulites (make it so you can only get rank B, A and S)
- Food gachapon tickets (if you can still get those)
- Potions

* A cool collector item you could add is a color-changing spectrum goggle, sort of like how you can change the color of the chroma pinkbean pet. Obviously you would need to add a ticket that allows you to change the color of them (one per ticket). I mean come on, how cool would white, black or purple spectrum goggles look!

* Also maybe add a system to the gachapon that automatically doubles whatever you get after you use a certain number of tickets (Ex: every 10th ticket you get 2 of the same item, sort of like the marvel double down)

remove all useless stuff, make A nebs and S nebs available if they get added (only those nebs). remove useless scrolls and useless items. actually it would be good if items that come in philo go in gacha. add top tier hearts like titanium but give them a low rate. add scarlet items for a change. make everything gotten perm. basically take out useless low level stuff and add some difficult things to get with a low rate.

The only time I have bought gach was during the pricing mistake where 1500nx gets you 10 tickets.
Even then, I wish they refunded everyone and deleted those items because that's how terrible it is.
Nexon even released a statement that it did not affect the economy because that's how useless the prizes are.

Out of the 200 tickets I used, I recieved only 1 thing noteworthy an A Luk% neb. I found 2 other A nebs but they were trash.
The rest of the items I got were useless equips, useless scrolls, old chairs and mounts with time duration.

Can you imagine someone paying 200usd just to receive that junk? I paid 30usd and I still don't think it was worth my money.

The original price of 1000nx per ticket is absurd when I have a high probability to receive a stupid timeless equip or some 60% scroll

Remove all the useless equips, duration mounts, old chairs and useless scrolls.
Heck make a ticket 5000nx and only put the new items.

I would like new items added to the game. There's plenty of items that were never released as well but are still in the system and I think that would be a great new addition for collectors and non collectors. I wouldn't like to see old rare items back into the gach as that will just ruin collecting even more.
