Does the free weekly rebirth thing feel overwhelming to you?

  I am very happy with the free weekly rebirth. I don't feel pressured. I just play the game as I always did, and rebirth as soon as I can and that's that.

  So much re-birthing!! I can't take it! [insert random gibberish here]

  I don't really care about levels and I rb at whatever level I want. My 3000 ap is what overwhelming. Can't rank fast enough.

  nope.im even skipping some dailies this week,for some reason i feel like free weekly rb made the game really easy that i dont want to play lol.probably just rb whenever i feel like it.that thrill though to get to 130+/20+ every week while ranking and finding nx to rb was fun before.

  
  
  Pretty much this. I had an incentive to level up as fucking high as possible but with free rebirth now I pretty much chill/relax. It does, however, feel great not to pay 8k nx every week for my rebirth.

  I used to love buying cards to 1 week rebirth, I just barely see the fun in Mabinogi anymore, i'm only level 3k but it still makes no sence to me why people above 3k want to rebirth weekly, there is no point because why even rebirth when you can get gold and buy OP reforges to do op damage, the game has transformed into just a cash shop game and I just don't get the fun from playing anymore

  
  
  I am pretty confused about what you mean here.
  
  You liked rebirthing weekly using cards, but don't like rebirthing weekly now that it is free? Does that just mean you liked the advantage over others - i.e play to win? Cashshop game?
  
  "Why even rebirth when you can buy OP reforges"
  Well now you can do both. Spend the money you spent on cards on reforges instead? Rebirths still provide the staple "AP" that everyone needs.
  
  Perhaps you dont like the shift from spending NX on rebirths to reforges and feel it unbalances the game? Well I expect that that as the abundancy of reforges increase, the avaliablity of high tier equipment will fall in price, making it more accessable for NX-less, gold paying players.

  Exactly, but I have seen screenshots of someone doing a 10k crit with the same bow, and then they use a magnum/ele reforge and does well over 100k crit.
  
  I still enjoy playing and i'm glad that weekly RB/daily rb gives players that fell behind a chance to level up, it just feels like Nexon is going to make Mabinogi die fast because everyone is going to acheive end game status very fast, I just really don't want the time I put in this game to disapeer.

  
  
  I think you're exaggerating,
  Lvl20 Magnum shot - 200% bonus damage (10k---> 14k)
  Ele 6 - +66% (14k --> 22k)
  
  I think being low leveled when most of the players are well over 1k is discouraging since you're barred from party content till higher levels. When I was low leveled, there was a abundance of people running Ciar Basic/Normal and I felt included as I could quickly find a party

  Sorry if I'm beating a dead horse responding to these numbers, but too many people seem to think reforges magically add 10x damage when most of the time they're really not that much, outside of elemental you're only really looking at around 20%-30% end damage boosts from them tops. The 100k mag, assuming bow is r6 and ele 6+5 on neutral mob with 0 def/prot and mag 20 gloves would need 2270~ max on the character window to be a reality which is completely ridiculous to propose, the only way I see it happening is fire+lightning elementals on an ice ele mob like white spiders.
  
  As for free weeklies, I've been looking forward to NA getting them since I first heard about the on KR. I always find my self getting to 120/20~ in a matter of a few of days, and still do just doing the usual sm/exploration dailies and tagging along for guild runs of lord and ma, but then having to wait a month to actually make any more progress in the game.
  
  I personally cannot understand the people who are fine with paying to weekly but not with everyone getting it for free, but I suppose that's because mabi isn't some sort of epeen competition to me, I just enjoy playing the game, and if the people who think it'll go by too fast with free weeklies are right and I run out of skills to rank with all the new skill sets devcat's popping out lately then I'll just use the ap to repair my brionac and fight with it.

  He was actually talking about my screenshots, and I went in depth with the differences between "10 and 100k mag" (I didn't even use the same bow)
  
  copy paste from nexon forums:

  I know exactly why this user started this thread, and I was going to give him this list when he posted about it on the other forum, but I will post it here for you too, and just copy paste later.
  
  Here are the differences between the two screenshots(its funny because he's pinning literally everything on reforges too):
  
  *Battlefield overture in general (the high damage one is 38% or so)
  *Combo card in general (72% gain)
  *bhafel hunter/huntress in general (-~70 max attack, step 5, effective elemental 6, 15% damage from huntress, etc)
  *Armor in general (this includes bohemian set, AND enchants(more on this))
  *encahnts: 2 solos, max roll camo, 11 roll ambush, 14 roll encore, dexterity, 11 roll butterfly, 3 oblivions, 2 lilys, thorn lotus, shadow hunter.
  *ATTACK POWER POTION
  *levels in general. I was probably ~level 130 in the high damage screenshot. I was 1/1 in the low damage one.
  a side note:most of this damage gain actually comes from the combo card. Comboless my crits on spikes are ~60k. not reforges
  *reforges in general due to lack of armor equipped
  *Transformation
  
  So let's take away everything but the reforges, and necessary equips (so hunter/huntress of course, + enchants)
  That means
  no combo card
  no overture
  no attack power pot
  no transformation
  level 100 (out of talent though)
  Yes enchants, yes reforges, yes bohemian set effect
  
  and here's the result:

  (also just for clarification, my bow is step 5 and ele 5/3)

  I don't really feel overwhelmed per say, it's nice but I feel like it can be a bit of a hassle due to constant leveling when you do rebirth again?

  Kind of where i'm going with this. It is a very nice edition.

  i dont try to lvl up for rb, it just happens with what i do in mabi. and i dont really do sm's or dungeons or whatever yall do. i find it a tad droll.

  It's giving me reason to get up off my ass and play Mabi. Get some stuff done faster than in 4 week increments. Now I feel like doing weekly things.

  I wanna rebirth but I don't wanna lose my butler hair, hope I find a way around it or that Nexon does something. :T
