Super Kupowers

[Chilloa]

Are these being promised to us? Or are you just informing us that we'll have the possibility of three new Kupowers? And if I, along with a bunch of other NA players, vote #2, #4, and #1 in that order and a single Japanese votes #3 does that mean we'll get #3?

Apparently, these are the things that we need to be clear of.

I think its pretty obvious at this point that they don't really care about the votes so much as the reasoning behind them and that far more Japanese input get's taken into consideration. This is probably largely due to the fact that the Devs / producers can pop in and read the JP threads just like we do, where as they have to schedule time with Camate and crew (different time zones / busy schedules) to get our opinions. Which means that they probably get a very condensed version with a lot of the better parts glossed over completely.

That said, I would love 2 and 4 because I hate having to go to a different city to buy a friggin piece of garlic or something, and I never can seem to get enough CP.

I don't like the other two choices, because one hurts crafters by cutting sales to people exping / skilling in these areas in half, and the other increases drop rates on something that there are too much of already.

I don't know about anyone else but I had an experience where I bought cells with CP by accident and now I'm finding it difficult to build that back up to a decent amount.

it's funny, but the double food duration won't impact the sale of any stackable food, because you can still only buy them in stacks, and the price of material won't change. It might influence the non-stacking food, because people won't want to pay as much, but honestly, crafters are a stubborn lot, and we're not going to just sell things at half price because DDs will get twice as much use out of them. We still need to make a profit, and our crafting cost won't change, so why in the world would we change our prices more than they normally fluctuate?

That, and anyone who things #3 would actually result in more crystals, it will, maybe a whole extra 2-3 stacks a day, to go on top of the already perpetually high double digit stacks of crystals made up of people selling crystals for 2-3 times what they're worth because they can get way with it. Seriously, how often do you try to buy a few stacks and of the 70+ stacks, not a single one is at the listed price, or even 1-2k over it?

I vote 3 because crystal prices are stupidly expensive.

You really don't see how people buying stacks half as often would affect your sales? Are you sure crafting is for you?

Hey, Kupo!

The Development Team is currently making progress on combining the “Mystery Boxes” super kupower effects, which should be implemented in the next version update.
With that said, that leaves 3 spots to fill with new super kupowers! We have been looking into what kind of effects we can add, and as a result of our discussions we’ve narrowed it down to 4 possibilities:

1. Double duration of food effects
2. Double the amount of conquest points received
3. Crystals will be dropped in beastmen controlled areas
4. Shops that sell San d’Oria/Bastok/Windurst specific items will sell them full-time

Let us know which of the above are your top 3 choices!

Not the one involving crystals.

I vote 3 because crystal prices are stupidly expensive.

in sky there are all 8 types of elementals up at all times, in all 3 of the zones.

I can clearly see how buying stacks half as often would affect sales, but you gotta remember that they won't buy stacks half as often every week. With 12 kupowers, 3 active at the same time, this particular food duration will over time only be active roughly 25% of the time. And the duration still isn't further increased in non-conquest areas, where a lot of the playing is taking place. Then you also gotta remember that if you for some reason die within an hour, you lose the food effect prematurely too.
