The One About 'From IMC to You' Episode 1

First of, here's wishing Desanggria's Granado Espada Blog a Happy 2 Year Anniversary! Thanks for being so passionate about GE and for writing so many interesting blog entries. :)

We've been sending some of your feedback and suggestions gathered from the feedback forum and tickets about Granado Espada to IMC regularly. Our faithful liaison over at IMC is a really nice and humorous guy - someone whom we endearingly call Mr. Pocket. He very kindly responded to some of these feedback. I felt that his insights were really valuable and would like to share with you guys some of their responses.

Disclaimer: The following is tentative and is accurate at this point in time. Thus, please do not take this as the gospel truth that will never change over time or due to unforseen circumstances.

Suggestion: A cash shop item to reset stance skill points.

This is already developed. It will be added in V3.5.

Suggestion: Allow rearrangement of characters in Barracks.

This item is one of the 'most wanted' stuff across all the various GE versions. However, since it isn't an extremely critical factor that affects game play itself, this development has been postponed till a later time. Someday this patch will be applied!

Suggestion: A small window to see characters' equipped items in Barracks.

Yes, we're making this feature.

Suggestion: Higher spawn rate of monsters for Bahamas Ancient Territory.

The spawn rate is dependent on the number of players in that map. Currently, the spawn rate per player is already high. Anyway, in V3.5 you’ll have a brand new upper-grade Ancient Territory called "Chaos Requiem of the Heavens". There are really, really lots of monsters there, and even huge EXP card rewards from the pioneer monument! You'll like it!

Suggestion: Players want to allow their skill bar to be made customizable so that they can set the skills they want and also have different items to use.

This is extremely hard to program because of the complex nature of the GE system. But we will try to make it, so someday it will be applied.

Suggestion: The Key of Truth-A key that mystically fits on all locks,doors and boxes.

There’s really lots of stuff that must be “unlocked”. We can’t make that type of MacGyver Key.

(ROFL!!! I LMAO when I read that MacGyver part. Mr Pocket and his wicked sense of humor!)

Suggestion: A server-time clock

I’ll discuss about them with the rest of the IMC staff and let you know if there will be any further developments on this.

* * *

That's all for now. If you would like to make further suggestions, you may do so at this thread.

Drop me a comment and let me know if you guys enjoy this type of blog entry and I'll continue this as a permanent fixture as a 'From IMC to You' type of blog series.

I don't get it why they have to postpone the rearrangement of characters in barracks...
As they've acknowledged, this is the "most wanted" throughout all ge. Why not support the one being ask by the players..?

This saddens my hopes for these...
I was happy when Lorenza confirmed that this has been discussed with imc but imc's response is discouraging...

Re: BlackwingX

Well I won't say that it is discouraging. It is part of the plan but perhaps in the longer term. If you think about it carefully, wouldn't you rather have updates more often with new RNPCs, new maps etc which will bring a lot more content enjoyment to all users?

Although it would be lovely to have everything in an ideal world, but in reality, the bigger picture needs to be considered due to limited resources and priorities. :)

Its nice that the game developers entertain suggestions from the gamers. I for one am really impressed with how the sense of community is promoted in this game. :)

P.S. - Im a newbie GE blogger, would it be alright to put a link of your site on my Family's Blog?

Thanks in advance! ^_^

To know that IMC has commented on our ideas is putting me at ease. X3 Please do continue this in your blog. Its awesome. Id like to know what players on other GE versions have to say as well. =)

thanks for the warm greeting, hrin! :D

please do have more updates like these. i for one appreciate the efforts of both iah and imc to address the concerns of the gamers. it's nice to know that our feedback gets to the right people & are being acted upon.

i'm personally good with this. i myself want more for this game in terms of upgrades, but seeing that imc is already working to answer the demands of GE players across all regions is already hope in itself. i appreciate all the updates that both parties are telling the gamers because this further pushes us to enjoy the game & to anticipate future improvements to GE.

i hope the other players would be patient enough to see these updates made into reality. i believe both iah & imc are working to make us all happy with the game. :D

Hrin said...

Wow thanks for all the encouraging comments thus far. I'll be updating this 'From IMC to You' segment every month or so.

Re: Vacciuolo Family

Yup, sure! Welcome back to GE and I am glad you are enjoying yourself so far. I've linked your blog on my list of URLs as well. :)
