Hi
so several days passed from Helios update. All w8 this update as a Mesiah
and now only dissapointment on all fronts.
Faction system:
As new think is good, new, refreshing on the beggining BUT!!! I think this concept will be boring very soon. All factions all day with poor rewards. Little XP/SP, crystals for talismans and box. And what a surprise in the box? Keys, materials.. only junk with death crafting system in the game. Talisman also
dissapointment: little chance to upgrade (Korean random of course) and final stats on stage 10, if some one reach that level, are pointless. With or without talisman in GC, AF, EV for me same situation, no improvment....
On the other hand we have daily Q bound with faction and clan to manage clan hall fuction. really? With diversification within clan members in medium size clan take same weeks or month to have a lot of medals to turn on some lvl 1 features (craft, buffs...) for 7 days and end, anothers weeks to collecting. So "helpfull" ....
Conception of faction Q prefere solo playing so nerf tanks. Yes tanks can and could play in groups but lets be honest: tanks without CP, take hours to find proper pt. And if someone saying: Tank can switch to dual and play DD. I say only one: they dont know what are saying. What a reason to playing dual if your main class is nerfed and go to ashes. Whole concept of party playing need revamp or will to die.
10 days Q taken in Aden:
Nice Q for begginer(give some shots..) but seriously 10. days reward Talisma of destruction (cannot delete it). Why you give no tradable, no destrutable items???? This is not rare for long playing players. Only take a slot in warehaus as many others junk not destructable items. For this itemes like Talismans should be introduce function to change talisman or something not tradable, destructable for giant energy, destruction energy .... .
RIFT
So nice solo location prefering DD style. And rewards: once a 10 days book to enchanting and rune stone. Very motivating.
Helios fortress: hard to kill mobs so now pointless
Rewards in general: very dissapointing and not motivating. Little EX/SP some adena if ever, no drop (once per ages something). And pls dont tell me about
drop, XP/SP boost. For regular players out of the question. So if i take together Helios update, faction system and new Q: reward system not motivating for players, faction system rewards not needed for improvment, faction talisman upgarde hard and pointless.
We waited more and NCSoft give us less as nothing.
I see, so I'm not the only one, who is dissaponted from this update.
Maybe someone should fire the current Korean developers and hire new ones :)(hopefully they won't be worse then the current ones)

Nice points and I didnt even know the 10day quest gives Destruction talisman. Thanks for the info^_^
If I can add another disappointment into the list -> The fishing system. I hoped that atleast the Exp/SP would get a proper buff but so far I havent seen any of that... maybe with the r99 bait the 99+ fishing is somewhat relevant again.
On the other hand - I can completely understand the removal of Agathion rewards from fishing with the system where the game is f2p. Although there is possibility of making the Agathions non-tradeable.
On the other hand - why was the Heine fishing system NOT activated? make the Coupons non-tradeable and replace the 50shot reward from the Boxes from fishing with the Coupons.
I have been playing in the 85-90 range since update and seems few things have gone right too. Like the new daily quests where you can do more than 20mobs to finish quest. Like the Swampland daily is 400 of each mob-types. I find this a good system since it motivates me to grind mobs.

I don't understand their reasoning behind removing the zodiac agathions at all. They were the only decent thing you could get from fishing. Oh but wait... now we can use R99 shots... LMAO! What a crock of fish!
they make all quest rewards low etc. probably because of bots. if reward is good, then bots will be taking all the place for doing this q everyday to earn money. if they make reward low, then bots dont come, but normal people who have hands wont do it too, because it's waste of time. Conclusion, probably nc is still not sure about his "super anti-bot" control.
Got to say this entire faction system is (as it is right now) complete bullcrap.
The talismans sucks, and is even a bigger adena sink than seed talismans.
Good luck getting a lv. 7+ talisman (below that, theyre just completely useless) without spending billions + weeks of farming, and in the end you'll just to end up with a lv. 1 talisman again.
the system as it is now isn't amazing true enough but the dailies do give a good idea of what/where to XP and for those in clans with a Castle and/or Clan Hall the daily Faction Medals reward is actually good as through that you can get NPC's that provide special bufs/items etc.
the details are mentioned in the final patch notes so have a look there if you're curious for more info ;)
as mention before this system will improve significantly in next update, Grand Crusade so patience is a virtue and it's a good start in the right direction imo.
Draecke, Thank you for a lot of good info lately. As well as several other people . I’ve also noticed a lot less criticism from others lately too and more people helping. Thank you all!
I like this patch so far, you can log in and do many different things (fraction/ field raids etc) again instead of doing only kama/af 2-4x daily.
Fishing changed to positive as well (not 13 different types of fishes anymore, easier 99 expertise packs /elcyum powder etc).
I like also the command channel changes that whenever you have a higher number cc hitting a raid,that you have the full looting rights (good against cheater 1 party raid teams or "solo" raiders xD).
Clanwarehouse has enough medals to make the first production npc within next 1-2 days- it went pretty fast even w/t every clanmember aware of that quest yet or not having time to do it daily.
