Boutique~ I wonder when's the boutique going to have new items again....
For what I've known, it's been 2 weeks already and Ankama said they will be adding new things in every week..

any idea..?

To be honest, and I hope you'll take that into account, I've noticed the "Boutique" word was replaced with "shop" word. It's not good. Shop in a MMO indicates negative feelings, while boutique was kind of cute and inviting. Sounded just right on spot.

Yup some nicer auras than fire of love would be supernice!

I know I've said this before but I'll say it again, please reconsider the previews you put on sets and insignias.

So far:

Males have ended up with boobs with Valkyrie due to lack of male preview (could argue it should've been obvious to those who know what Valkyries are, but still)

The sacred bow meow sets models arms are folded which means you can't see the chest piece which is part of the set.

The hair shows underneath the rising sun sets hat which makes it look pretty stupid on my sadida:

I wouldn't care as much about these errors if they weren't non-tradeable... Which means once you've got them you're either stuck with something you're not fully happy with, or trash them.

I would like to suggest previews for both genders with the sets/insignas, and preferably with front and back so people can see how the capes/hair look on them as well.

I'm gonna throw in my two cents, hoping that this will reach Ankama's ears.

1. My friend has purchased Be Fazed emote, but he got Act Shy emote instead. Either male version of Fazed emote looks like Act Shy, or it's a mistake. In that case there could be more mistakes.

2. It's pretty obvious that the most demanded items are insignias. It would be nice to see more of them, rather than useless sets.

Thx for your attention

At least they are telling the truth now. It never was a boutique, you can buy power there.

On french forums a guy made a nice thread listing makabra items compared to other weapons and then quoting them 1:1 on their promise: "We won't introduce weapons that are stronger than the in game content."
The in game weapons aren't even close and Makabras a must have if you want to compete.

Hopefully, we'll get new non-botique strong items. At least I refuse to buy any "power" items just to check, will my char really be so crappy with just in-game stuff.
I'm also wondering, what will happen to those Botiq items when Ankama will raise max level (because probably they will).

I have to disagree a bit here. I've seen some weapons that are equal to makabra items with only 1 difference - those had no AP bonus. But this AP bonu son makabra ityem is the only thing that makes them worth lvling. Otherwise i wouldnt bother using them. Still leveling makabra items is pain. I am lvling 2 makabra rings and 1 makabraclub. I had makabrammmer before and i got it to 51lvl when they released makabraclub with resistance bonus wich, for me, is better and so i had to start lvling new makabra weapon all over again. So far i have 53lvl makabra rings and 34 lvl makabraclub. Lvling thos makabras over level 50 is pain. I will be level 100 and i will have makabra items on level 60. That sucks - i feel that i will never get them to 100 level. And to make things worse 2-handed makabra weapons are lvling slower then 1handed ones. WHY? Those with 1handed makabraweapon can get 1 AP bonus 2x faster then those with 2 handed makabrahammer + 1 handed users can equip some cool shields with that. This is unfair. I wish i can give my own experience to makabraweapons. I want them at my own level. I'd rather sacrifice 100% of my experience just to give exp to makabraitems.

The AP is especially what makes them better than any other weapon. The rest isn't really important, but they do give decent bonusses for that too, When that weapon adds range and mechanics on top of that too...well.

The thing is, we don't know if they are better than other lvl 100 weapons, because we don't have many (or any) in game at the moment. Let's wait for patch with content for 100lvl+, then we can tell if they are OP or not.

We do have one and it is worse. That already turns their promise into a clear lie.

So when are there going to be new bontique items troyle?

If makabra weapons will be equal to other items we can get in game then no one will buy makabra weapons and it will be simply a waste of time lvling those. This is why makabra weapons must remain as "better" even if its just ap that makes them special.

Unless those in-game items are really hard to get. For example black crow sword gives +1ap, but it's kinda unreal for me to get.

Then that makes the statement that makabras won't be better than other level 100 items an outright lie. We already pay for game time, we should not have to pay for power, as well.

Makabras should be convenience only. You would level them because it means you don't have to go looking for another item until you want more power. In an ideal world however, they would not level as they do and snap to your current level. Evolving weapons, if they're in, SHOULD be the strongest in game-- but they should not be sold in the boutique.

Not to mention that Makabra items have made the weapon crafting professions (except Close Combat, and even then, only for daggers) entirely useless.

No, that is why Makabra items should have never been introduced to this game. They promised never to sell power.

problem in this shop is that the people who run it just poor game designers. sell insignias and then make guild insignia that takes the same place but gives stats?
in most cases the designers ideas here looks like they dont know what to do and just mindlessly try everything in hope that itll work.
and still - the idea selling equipment for cash in game with subs was just ridiculous...

There is simple solution: make makrabra items a rare drop in game. This way we will be able to get them without need to buy them if we are lucky. Those who won't want to play on luck will simply buy them.

Maybe give insignias some stats too (not much thought! more or less the same as guild insignias) and give them lvls, like you did with maka items.
