Allods Online Forum

I felt like making a new topic even though there's one related to it. I cannot for the life of me understand why the people who run this game would get rid of perfectly good, artistically crafted gear. I used to look forward to completing quests and getting rewards. Now completing quests feels boring and pointless. Even if you get a new armor, it all looks the same. It doesn't even look remotely appealing, and no matter which class you are, you get the same ugly vest. I understand that the emphasis has been put on vanity, but my point is that receiving something really intricate and something thoughtfully designed, was really a nice treat. Now I'm not even sure I want to invest anymore time in this game.

"Ok, so not a lot will change, right?

That’s right. You should keep on enjoying Allods and the last events our community team has been preparing for you! We hope you’ll be curious about what Webzen has in store for you in 2014 since we’ll be announcing a lot of good stuff. It’s going to be an avalanche of surprises!"


Not only was this answer inaccurate, I am sorely disappointed with what has been "in store" for us so far.

I understand. I'm just saying that I found incentive and love for this game through the little rewards we got along the way. Now it just feels like empty grinding and there are less things to look forward to. I can't be the only one frustrated by this.

Without incentive and love for the game, I have no reason to spend money on it. So they lose out.

I guess I stand alone. I have one more reason this new "vanity only" as a way to look like a cool looking character rule is lame. Before, you could sometimes choose between the look of different parts of your armor, boots, gloves belt, pants (unless you had a robe). Now you're only really meant to wear vanity which makes all of those decisions for you. Everyone already looked mostly the same, but now we look even more like stupid clones of each other.

Why wouldn't this game want to encourage the pleasure some people might get from having a unique appearance? Again... the happier people are fitting into the game (without having to pay money), the more likely they are to actually buy things.
