Hero Support System: Are they worth it for your main

• flipside101 wrote on 2013-11-14 14:23
  Being that Nexon is releasing or has released the "Aces" content (Merlin + Dressing Room from KR), Hero/Zero Cards and the new Hero Support System as well as new magic skill are upon us. I'm not a mage, so I can't really say I'm too affected by the new implementation.
  
  However, the new Hero Support System has gotten my attention; a system where by rebirthing/creating a character as a "Hero" lets you choose another character to pretty much dump 50AP on. I'm always starved of AP because I rank my skills as my AP flows. As more information is released - such as the price of the character cards - do you guys think it's wroth to level alts and get your main an X amount of AP (per number of alts and frequency of rebirths)?

  Depends, do you got enough time and money to rebirth your alts every week to have your main character level up?

  Do you have to be a certain level to have your another character receive the full 50 ap? and how much are the cards in kr?

  considering AFAIK, that even when you free rebirth, you lose the hero talent unless you pay for it again, no it's not worth it much at all.

  Personally I think it is a waste but that is just me, I focus on one character, I mean I'm 7.6k on my Elf, and 1k on my Human so I'll probably dump my 50 AP into my human but otherwise I don't have a need to level my alts I feel that is too much work for the effort to be worth in it.

  Yeah it really doesn't seem worthwhile to me. It's basically paying Nx for an extra 50ap each time you buy the card, and you have to play on a random alt to get it. With all the ap thats thrown at us, I really dont think the cost is worth it. Maybe if you had a lot of cash to throw at it each week

  The thing is, you pay to be in a hero RB.
  
  Your alt then "connects" to your main, then your alt has to level up and gain 50 AP for your main to get 50 AP.
  
  The basic ace cards are like the same price as basic cards. 7.9k nx per week.. for one character.
  
  If you have 2 alts for 100 AP, that's nearly 15k weekly. Would you be willing to spend that much?
  
  The possibility is there, but I doubt a lot of people will take advantage of it to really make a big difference on the community as a whole.

  I'm really against this. Frankly, as much as I enjoy the AP events and stuff like that, I think there's simply too much of it to go around, and now you can practically buy AP. As much as you can "buy" a certain amount of damage and stuff with reforges, it's random and it won't be much good to an underdeveloped character - but now you can literally buy character development, which is something i'm kind of against.
  
  I'd rather they have made the exp curve more lenient for Hero Rebirths or something like that if they wanted to promote it, so you'd be both promoting gameplay and paying features. Not just insert money get AP.
  
  Getting to level 50 each week is pretty much a joke, to anyone who says you have to put in effort into these characters.

  You really don't know the effort it would take getting level 50 in over 20 chars and constantly paying to do so.
  3 day rb events were more damaging than this.
  
  KR's 1 day RB event was even more catastrophic.

  This is fine, it's kind of like an ap loyalty system, I'm going make my warrior elite hero giant and make him part gunner and still have my main elf rangero, :)
  
  50 ap --> rangero a week that's cool!

  Okay seriously, I think people are getting the wrong idea here. While technically, yes, you can use this system to rebirth alts and send your main a bunch of AP, I think it is meant to be used in the reverse order: A very high-leveled character that doesn't need much AP sending it to help level an alt.
  
  I think the cost (NX, time, effort) of rebirthing a bunch of alts to boost your main is far, far too high for people to be freaking out about this change.
• Zeo wrote on 2013-11-14 16:39
  No. 8 dollars cost way too much just for your main to get 50 APs, plus.. is it worth all the times on your alts?
  
  I don't really see why people are complaining about this. I basically think reforges are worse, in term of pay2win content.

  The real question is can you rebirth two characters with ace cards and have them select each other and level them both up, getting them both level 50+50 AP :D dual mains ftw?

  think of it this way since alot of you bitch about people buying power creeps , the more people buy these things the more stuff nexon throws at us for free like how we got free inv service and other things . Im for it as long as nexon doesnt forget the rest of the community and so far theyve been doing a pretty good job .
