Dragon Hunt Instance + Remove Daily Dragon Spawn = Anti-Monopoly System

Description of your improvement: This allows everyone in the server to have an opportunity to do dragon hunts. A Dragon Buff (72 hours) gained from clearing a dragon instance blocks characters from farming dragon instances non-stop, and can actually eliminate monopoly in the market. Dragon key could be an adena sink to help with the server economy as well. Removal of daily dragon spawn, so we don't overflow the market with dragon drops. I think the dragon buff is universal, meaning cleaning fafu instance prevents a player from doing antharas instance also. (need verification from others on this)

Why are you suggesting it? (What does it solve for?) I believe this is how it's set up on other servers. This way, other players still have the opportunity to hunt dragons whether or not they are in PvP pledges. It makes dragon hunts more of a guild dungeon thing and mitigates people from griefing.

How it currently exists today: Right now, dragons are being slain mainly by one group of people, which disables other people from being able to hunt dragons. Dragon spawns once a day, and they are slain while people are working during the day. This creates an unfair monopoly for one group of people. Unlike L4, which is timer based, has 3-4 spawn cycles a day, which allows people to have a chance to participate in L4 still.

Its just competition have to be spend more time on dragon even for everyone in other bps too . And I know gm is trying on make dragon key for dragon raid too so that can solve this problem.

The problem as i stated in the report is that people may need to take time off from work in order to compete for dragon. It's high unpractical. It's a high end resource and I understand it needs competition. Just trying to promote an equality solution.

Lineage has always been an open-world resource game and controlling those resources (generally via PvP, time invested etc). Players who spend more time on / are stronger generally get more resources than those who are on less / are weaker / lower level. I'm pretty sure it's WantCai himself that talks about how some aspects are turning into "cupcake Lineage"... this is a suggestion that falls into that category.

People have work and family, so why not also cup cake lineage? In addition to equality, I think it also promotes good virtual and reality balance.

We all have work and family as well. And "cup cake" lineage is not good at end always.

Games like Lineage survive on the prestige of high-tier items. When high-tier bosses become accessible to everyone regardless of time, gear, or PvP control, the sense of achievement is gone. Once everyone gets their dragon gear, fids, etc the motivation to gear up and fight for control disappears, causing server burnout.

I just think a guild-only dragon raid is a cool idea and promote good pledge bonding. A lot of games on the market nowaday have guild dungeons and I think dragon raid could be one of them. Perhaps it can just be like hardmode, where as people can choose different dragon level to compete in.

agree to an extent, having high tier items is good carrot on a stick for progression. the longer a server is open you don't want blocks for new players to take too long to catch up otherwise you push away *potential*new players who do not want to play catch up for too long.

having instanced dragons helps balance it out, although i'm not necessarily in favor of removing the non instanced ones too as new players will eventually be able to get those too.

i think people need to ease up a bit on the idea of maintaining power in gear/levels over people, you will never be 100% in power in a game like lineage due to the nature of the politics and people taking breaks etc.

idk what the arguement is even about, this is literally what ncsoft does. Its not some custom update targetting one pledge or another. Its how lineage progressed and happens almost right after dk and illu are introduced into the game.

Maybe a push to make L4 not a monopoly by a single pledge that multi logs a cougar mage who may or may not be named Oz would be showing equality. Especially since sitting in the L4 lobby doesn’t have a timer

Not sure what your argument is, but yeah l4 hardmode seems to address your concern.

he already mentioned how l4 has mutliple cycles per day, and dragons spawn once in a 24 hour period. Kinda insane how you chime in with something that was already addressed very early on in this post

also pretty retarded to be crying about a ncsoft change.

Not decided yet: open-world dragons stay as they are and dragon raid keys are not available to players. On the list for Mephi.
