Your Thoughts on AQ3D's Current Rank System

I'm not sure if they will be willing to move away from the grinding model, which they seem to use everywhere in the game.

At least the storyline quests are ok though.

In my opinion, AQ3D is a game about collecting costumes, which requires players to grind pretty hard (e.g., the rank systems you've mentioned, rare drops, large quantity materials for crafts, etc).

 

Im fine with it. But if there are any ways that will make grinding ranks better then I would love to support it and suggest it to the devs

 

I hope quests would be tied up to mini games

 

Yes that’s a good ranking up method, personally, I’m tired of the Darkovia ranks, you won’t even get a class for it. But I do think , Paladin and be romanced classes will have ranks tho

 

I say that the current ranking system needs something to spice it up rather than being purely just "get these things from enemies" kind of thing. There is a rank quest in Battleon Bank that doesn't require you to get badges to complete it and instead fight a solo boss to get the last rank. We need more things like this when it comes to these ranking quests.

 

I've never played AQWorlds. However, if they have implemented it there, then there is a chance AQ3D might get it too

 

A singular drop, like fangs is good across the board from any monster.
I'd like to see each "part" have a different secondary drop (IE blood fangs) that drop only from the bosses of that certain part. This could help diminish some of the forgotten bosses that newer players would have trouble with in the future, than farming cassius all the time for blood fangs.
I'd also like to see the storyline quests give a certain amount of fangs too; not enough to fully rank up to the max but enough to get a fair amount of items from the craft shop by the end of the storyline.
I believe all of this can help diminish the grind for newer players in the future when area's inevitably become more barren.

 

It will prolly come someday, reading ur post reminds me of the old AQW 2008-2011. I remember farming essence of miltonius and voucher and they are in singular drop but nowadays i heard there are quest/quest pets that gives essence and vouchers as rewards in a high quantity.

 

That monster you are referring to is also a boss monster just like Mana Golem, but a less powerful version of it: Mana Elemental. I do agree that AQW has become more grindy what it used to be and there are items to go for with good benefits like increased damage vs. certain enemy types and increased exp, gold, rep and class points like passive boosts to them which you get when you have them equipped. There are some grinds which require you to do daily quests to get items required for them and there are also of course items which are not time locked.

 

it feels really simple, and grindy, i like when ranks progress with reputation to others not only you need more and more medals from the monsters and you have to kill them for a general reason (they're taking over battleon)

 

That's how it pretty much feels right now and i do hope that there will be tweaks for ranking system in the future.

 

i feel grinding for the same drop items is boring. it would be better if the drop items required for every rank is different, so that we move on to kill different monsters at differeng places for each ranks

 

Maybe grind for the same drop items to max is ok. Just require us to kill something or get a drop from somewhere. Maybe buy it from a certain NPC or kill a boss for it. Wont hurt to add more variation

 

Skills with ranks wasnt really a good idea let the skill be more freely around maps
