The amount of tokens earned per match has been changed as follows:
BEFORE: non-class battle victory awards 40 tokens, class-based victory awards 50 tokens.
AFTER: non-class and class-based battle victory awards 100 tokens, and the loser will be awarded 60 tokens.
The Olympiad quest "Olympiad Starter" has been changed as follows:
BEFORE: A reward is given for completing 3/5/10 olympiad matches.
AFTER: A reward is given for completing 5/10/50 olympiad matches.
No where does it mention that the R99 Gear (Armor & Weapon) will require more Adena, Tokens & Fame.
Based on the old amounts, it is now an increase of
25% on Adena, 43% on Tokens & 67% on Fame (Approximately)
I wouldn't call that a small change, I've been saving up to get this gear and thought I could just get everything in one go,
and that I didn't need to buy the pieces before the update because, well nothing about the amounts required was going to change...
Juji, it's not a bug/issue. The guys over at Innova also have got this patch and its the same.
Prooly a way to stimulate farming mats and crafting.
Well, I looked through my docs and never saw any mention of the increase. Still going to see if we can do something about it.
the change happened in Epeisodion's portion of the patch i think
7. 올림피아드 보상 목록 및 일부 물품의 구입 가격********* 변경되었다.
basically says reward and some of the prices have changed, though very vague.
Thanks, was able to find it in one of the documents using some Korean words. I'll still ask the devs about it though.
+1, any news on this matter? by what I can understand, it seems "and intended change" by NC devs, but would be nice a final answer from @Juji or @Vali.
Go craft your stuff, Oly may not change at all....
Failed crafting r99 gaiters 2 times alreadyso thx no.
Been saving fame years now to get smth out if it and prices in oly manager is way too high if it is going to stay as it is now. So can any NCsoft staff member answer this?
you better deal with it. It seem to be "working as intended", as Juji already posted that it was a misstranslation or yust overlooked in the patchnotes.
Even if Juji can get a dev in korea to do some adjustments it will probably take several month or even years to "fix" it.
I farmed Fame 1 year to get 3.000.000 to take r99 weapon from oly manager. Now i have 3kk fame (i had around 2.850.000 before update) but now i need 5kk. I read all the posts about that before update and i don't buy other items like r99 armors just to can buy my weapon cause u say the price will be the same. I realy hope that you will change it back to the old prices cause you don't say about the changes before the update.
:)
it's still marked as a known issue. I would like to know if anything will be done b4 I start crafting or buying. I had the fame and oly tokens for all my 99 gear b4 update, but was w8ing till I hit 99 to get my stuff, since Juji send there was going to be no change in the prices
This is way beyond being funny.
If they dont know - they should say that - that info was not yet delivered to them.
If it is as it was intended to be, they should also inform the community about it as soon as possible.
If it will be changed it also should be known to anyone.
Why is it so?
It is a KNOWN ISSUE, of the game update they introduced so take your responsibilities out of your safe and deal with it. No wonder this company will never ever surpass any other top MMORPG games, because you threat your custumers as non factors, while you should reply to any posts which includes any know issue.
And again why is it so?
Because it's your job and your organization that you have to take the blame for, even if it is not directly your fault. All for one, one for all and you have lovely community and success in the business.
This isn't fair, you can't be the official source and say one think then go and do something else. There are multiple posts showing what was said and NCWest should take responsibility for that, at least keep your word we have so little else we can count on with this team.

You really think NCWest has a clue about how this game actually works? How cute.
This is offensive action towards players that have to farm for over a year for that amount and now it gets increased AS THE OPOSITE OF WHAT WAS CONFIRMED BEFORE.
r99 dont drop.
r99 cant be bought with mobs droping 300 adena.
r99 cant be craft. no mats drop, no recs drop, no key mats drop, no recipe for mats drop.
Prices are based around Korean economy and population numbers. As always NA admins have little rights to make changes themselves.
So we get saddled with an economy that begs for automation. So people bot. Simple as that.
We play this game because nothing has been released for the last decade but theme-park MMOs with anti-social features can't keep our attention for more than a few months.
The devs denied our request and said that they will NOT change the Olympiad Equipment prices back to what they were before the Valiance update. The prices were adjusted in Glory Days for overseas territories, but in Valiance they put back the Korean prices. They said it is an intentional change, so that all regions will have the same prices.

A answer for topic, they need develop other ways to get fame. Current fame system don't allow people to get R99 items as reward. Regular "good active player" farm near 200k fame in each month, 2,2M fame in one year.
This items are a joke like our current +10 reward in this enchant shirt event: impossible.
Just active play the game and receive a R99 weapon after 1,5 year (2 sieges & dim siege each month, 50k fame from oly tokens, CoC quests (if bots allow you to join)).

This also applies to the Fantasy Isle rewards.
This is double speak for you're fired.
(I'm not saying Juji should be fired, only commenting on how double speak is used to tell people they are fired without directly telling someone they are fired.)
The more I play this game the more I am positive that NCSOft only knows how to make pretty models but not the underlying games which use those models.
Oh well, back to spending 1,000 adena to kill a mob that drops 300 adena to try saving up for an SA that costs 102,000,000 adena.

Stop using shots as is the old days, then every adena you pick well be in positive :P

So then I'd be able to afford a SA after picking up 340,000 adena piles.
In the old days we never used shots. Then we realized how ultra ******, slow and boring the game was when you didn't use shots so we moved to using shots. And once we all started using shots, and NC knew we were all using shots, they designed all further content to take into account that we were using shots.
So my use of shots is known and expected by NC, and that NC has since then designed the game around the assumption that I will be using shots is known to me.
I could not possibly stand this game if it would now take twice as long to kill everything as it does at present. Perhaps NC should remove shots from the game and just halve mob m defense and p defense.
They should also remove buffers from the game and adjust our stats up accordingly. Cause let's face it, buffers don't actually do anything. They just bring us up to the point where we would have been if there were no buffs to begin with.

But then I'd be unemployed in-game :(

They provide a faster pace to whatever you do in-game, and provide that extra edge the better their buffing skills are (and we all know how people are willing to spend even thousands of real life dollars for a few measly crit rate points or whatever). Too bad that the majority of the server buffers are just secondary characters running on z r.a.n.g.e.r, making all but a select few top buffers an element of the game which is consistently taken for granted.
