[NQ Games] Developer Report of 2014-04-10

Link to the thread: Here

Hello dear Microvolters~! This is PD Shin from NQ Games.


I have been very busy these days, preparing for updates that will surprise all of you.
As you all may know, I write this developer report in Korean. Someone is translating this for all of you.

Some meanings were not transmitted well in the process and as a result, there were misunderstandings and rumors about nerfing sniper and rifle. I tried to emphasize that a lot of Microvolters love those weapons even though they are weak. I did not intend to give you the feelings that I think sniper and rifle need to be balanced. Again, I never said that I will nerf or think of nerfing them. However, new military rifle is stronger than previously existing rifles if you are good at using it, even though it's hard to be good at it. Back to the point again, I guess this should be enough to resolve our misunderstandings about rifle and sniper nerf, so I will move on.


Answers to your questions.

[Did you change the chance to win Coin capsules?]
- To begin with, we did not change anything.
We had no time to spare for it. To change the chance of winning, it is necessary for us to make a new capsule machine with new probability, taking 2 - 3 times more of our time than making a new one. We do not provide you with infinite number of coins, so there's no need for that. Instead, we are busy enough developing other things. Such inefficient thing of changing coin capsule probability never happened and never will.

[Change in default stats]
- Default stats will distinguish characters by characteristics. Something like small attributes~!
However, it turned out that the game balance has been affected because we added too much stats. We will reduce the bonus stats. The update might have already been applied by the time you read this. Additionally, we are working on the UI system that will show you all bonus stats. You will be able to check your bonus stats at a glance. 

[Special effect for clothes]
- This has already been tested and will be applied soon. A swim suit of Songkran that will be updated will have water bubbles in a lovely way. If you put it on, bubble effect will be chasing your character all the time. I will show you the test video. However, by the time you read this post, you might have the Songkran items updated for your capsule shop. In the video, we tested Glacier Queen's effect that shows a snowstorm in the game. (we haven't yet decided if we are actually going to sell this costume or not)

[Sales of unlimited clothes at RT shop]
- Maybe we can do that by occasional events, we will talk to our publishers for an agreement on this matter. However, I am a producer, meaning my main job is to develop MV, and I don’t get involved in sales or shops.


[Test server]
- I really would like to do this. Testing all new contents in the test servers before updating the Live servers. Lots of games are being operated this way, so I am thinking of our own ways of operating a test server. You will be notified by the developer report as soon as a decision is made.



New things in progress

[In-game event]
How are you enjoying the event system? I received some requests for such system from the last developer report feedback, which should have been implemented by the time you read this as I already had been working on it. The event system will be renewed for Easter Holiday, so I hope you enjoy it even more. 

By the way, I would like to know what you think about the mission requirements. If our calculation is making it too hard for you to complete the mission. Please leave your opinions by posting replies.

[New character]
New characters are under development and there are three of them. The next new character will be an elf. Are you curious about it? I will show you some images in the next developer report. However we still don’t know when they will be available for you. We are working hard to make the time come sooner. 

How would you like to call the elf, the new character? I appreciate your suggestions.
Keep in mind that it is a 'female elf'.



This is it for today. I would like to tell you more, but if I write too much then my co-worker who translates this report will have to work over time. The developer report will be frequently updated bit by bit. Please feel free to give us your opinions.
Oh, JJ thank you for your bazooka video. It helped me greatly.
