Im concerned that OGP doesnt seem motivated as well as NM was.
They has removed TB and stopped supllying highend ships and DSS/DGS.
No exp/prof bonus event has been held yet.
They even look as if they are willing to lose the chance to gain profit.
Honestly, I doubt the tools can really be back in 2nd age.

Games that let you buy
better gear or allow you to
make better items then
everyone else at a faster
rate and then makes the
game largely unbalanced
even for people who have
skill in the game without
paying.
Dude, you've spent like
400 bucks on this game so
you can beat everyone who
hasn't spent any money.
Pay-to-win noob!

Free to play. Pay to win. Not my fault your poor irl and in game. Ill hav a nice set once tools are released since i have tons of cheques to spend on forged gear since i am not a noob and have been anticipating the return of these items.

If everything can be played on the same leveled field and the game remains free with no NC/OG shops, it will be hard for OGPlanet to earn their income. All these improvement tools, like all the other NC/OG items are obviously OP so that it allows a player to remove "balance" and secure a win more easily against those who prefer a free game. All NC/OG items are OP if you think about it. You can have a very good ship with very good stats, ship skills and slots on the ship and you don't need a lot of levels to use it. All you do is pay real money for it. For players who prefer to play for free, they have to grind extremely hard to get enough resources to build their own ships of a lousier variant than those who simply pay for it. How is this fair to those at all to those who are playing for free. If everything is so unfair, might as well remove and make disappear every single NC/OG item in game forever. That way everything will be plain fair for everyone. There are boost NC/OG items to boost stats and levels as well as to make proficiency and skill gains more efficient and to bypass game limitations. How is that fair ? I doubt there is such thing as fair at all. One person's view of fair is another person's view of unfair.

Adding to Ming Mei's above statement: Seems pretty fair to me that if people decide to spend money on keeping a relatively obscure, under-appreciated game in business, they ought to get some sort of compensation for their troubles. Otherwise, what motivation do they have to invest in the game at all? Devotion to something they enjoy? Not very many folks would be that altruistic, myself included.

And if you can show me a single MMO that doesn't follow the model of "people that buy our cash items will have some sort of advantage over those who don't", I'll be... amused, because there's still going to be the 'unfair' advantage of those who've played and reached certain levels of power, versus those just starting out. (Or do you believe a 1/1/1 player wearing uber EQ could seriously trump a 75/75/75 player with maxed finesse and battle skills?)

But yeah, OGP forums would be a better place to discuss this, so the folks running the game right now could hear a different side of the "UNFAIR!" argument. Hm... *vanishes back into the digital mists*

Yea, I hear Super Mario Brothers doesn't have deck or forged weapons. You should check it out. Or... If you are that upset go to Korea and apply to work for Koei and change. Get used to it or get a new game to play.............

Steward

Game balance just doesn't mean shit to you does it? I don't understand how KOEI can put so much thought into balancing this game, then turn around and break it so totally with p2w items.

Make it easier or faster to grind levels and skills, idc. Make ships 50% faster with items, i start to care a little but i'll get over it. Make it to where I can't properly defend myself against somebody who spends $100's of USD on this game, I'll go find something else to do.

These kinds of items are a death sentence to any game. I don't even like how NC ships are better than their normal variants, they should have reduced level requirements, maybe 1 or 2 more improvement slots and that's it, base stats on the ship should be identical to non-astro/nc versions.

These items need to be brought back. The only thing unfair is that some have them now and now one else can get them. On the Japanese server you can earn these in game so obviously they are balanced.

How do you know if a ship from the NC/OG shop is better than those from the default free in-game variants ? Go to the 'Ship' segment of this wiki and look it up. Compare Frigate and a Modified Frigate. A Frigate has 3 broadside, 0 Bow and 1 Stern slot for cannons. A Modified Frigate (NC/OG item) has 5 BROADSIDE SLOTS, 1 bow and 0 stern turret. A free ship that's default in game comes with 3 broad side cannon slots and you pay some money .... wow .... 5 broadside cannon slots. Let's say I mount Master's Cannon (16) on both ships. I could theoretically mount 48 M.Cannon.16 on a normal Frigate and 80 M.Cannon.16 on a paid Modified Frigate. I have not take into account the cannon limitations on both ships and other limitations. 80 cannons vs 48 cannons. 5 cannon slots vs 3 cannon slots. You know what I mean ? Look at other ships. Not just stats and skills and user requirements but their ship parts slots and the amount of sailors and cargo and all other stats.

Start storing your astros and prepare those will be back full power on the cash shop, unfortunately this is the easiest solution to the unbalance problems that were brought by the temporary sales of these items back then.......to remove every forged gear and canons to destroy em would require too much trouble to the GMs, and OGPlanet is cleary short handed, so the easiest solution to bring back balance and as a bonus earn some money is bringing back the tools to the shop so everyone can have their god gear and cannons....happy new year!!!! Enjoy the pay to win UWO!!!!!ho ho ho!!!!!

Few things to note:
1) They are NOT tradeable till the next patch.
2) They will improve up to +15 defence power from their base power, each use adds +1.

I wish they didn't nerfed it... :x

No nerfing would've been preferable to me as well. But just seeing them and their weapon boosting cousins back after all this time is pretty heartening.
