Content Poll #3 is coming up! Content polls are MabiPro's tool to gauge how much community support new features and changes to the game have before they are implemented. Voting on this poll will start on Saturday, but the questions that will appear on the poll are going to be listed here so that the community can discuss them before the vote starts. You are free to discuss the questions in the comments of this post. If your total level is at least 20, you can vote on the poll in-game once it officially opens by clicking the "Content Polls" button in the game menu. Note that for a question to pass, at least 75% of voters must vote Yes on it. We will do our best to implement changes described by questions that pass the vote.

(This question resolves to No unless at least 75% of votes are scattered across "Yes" options, in which case the question resolves to the most popular "Yes" option.)

Really pushing for more dye-able equips. Any say on which palette they'll use or fixed dyes only?

I'm going to make my case for a few of these, in hopes that the server's ready to continue its ascent into amazing loveliness and not stifling trolldom.

Increasing of stack sizes, in all cases listed: There's no downside to these. Excessive inventory juggling isn't a challenge, it's an annoyance, and these particular items are among the worst. Let's do it!

Question 8: This would destroy the use of Shyla for paid transportation and discourage use for almost anything else. Shyla is a popular feature of the server and taking away features is silly. A new moving NPC could be fun, or Price's shop could be added to, though.

Question 10: AoE pets are a politicized knee-jerk issue due to their potential for being spammed. However, by themselves in small numbers they really aren't that harmful. A lot of people love their designs. I will be voting for "One per account" as this encourages choice and uniqueness, lets everyone have access to this feature, but doesn't allow anything overpowered. Remember, summoning pets is on a timer that would negate the spam ability. I could also understand voting for "release these pets without AoE skills" though. I hope for one of those two to pass, as they aren't overpowered and aren't completely stifling.

Question 11: This is absolutely, 100% a no-brainer. Just do it already. Everyone who plays mage wants Meditation fixed, unless they have a particularly massive masochistic ego. If they do, maybe consider picking the second option, I will agree that Meditation is very powerful on Nexon Mabi. I'll be happy with either yes option, though.

Question 15: Do we want expanded content? Yes, absolutely, more content is awesome! Why ask?

Question 16: Please, please don't pick option 1, and here's why: This is troll bait. If this information is forcibly accessible, anyone can go on your profile and use it to annoy you. Are you a new player? "LOL 30 hours?? like your opinions matter!!" Are you a veteran player! "LOL look at this guy's hours count what a nolife, how's that basement treating you??"
I understand it's an interesting stat, but I've seen this type of thing used for exactly that type of abuse in other communities, let's not encourage it here, okay?

Question 17: Let's phrase this another way. Should the actions of one player be allowed to dismantle an entire guild that has been building up through a group effort for months? Didn't think so. Vote yes

Question 19: People are going to vote yes mainly because red envelopes are bad. Please consider improving them, especially if they are made rarer, then they might actually be exciting to see.

Question 20: Another no-brainer. People currently avoid Castle Dungeons partly because leveling inside one will cost you 1AP from that rebirth.

I have made my choices for many of the questions and will only discuss those that are unclear for me.

Posted by Arisa

Yes, make it as strong as it is in Nexon's Mabinogi
Yes, but not quite as strong as it is in Nexon's Mabinogi
No
Skip question

I want to say yest but less strong that nexon's mabinogi. So the question is: what would be the new rates ?
I propose to make rank 1 accessible and double the current rates ( https://wiki.mabinogiworld.com/index.php?title=Meditation&oldid=286604 )
This would make rank F at 300% (so less than rank F on live but more than our current cap at rank 9)
and make rank 1 at 600% (so less than live cap at rank 8: 940%).
Yet, with this solution, you need to invest ap to actually benefit of the full potential of this skill.

Question 17 If a guild's leader stops playing, should there be a process guilds can use to replace them with a new leader?

Yes
No
Skip question

I will probably answer yes but.... what does "stops playing" means ? One week ? One month ?
Some people can go on vacation or not have access to internet for one month. Does it means they stopped playing ? Not forcefully.
I suppose the best way to address this question would be to make a poll among all guild members after some time of complete inactivity of the leader (no activity in the game, forum, discord).

Question 18 Currently, a charged lightning bolt will disappear after 15 seconds. Should this time limit be removed?

Yes
No
Skip question

This question troubles me. This "fix" can be applied extremely easily by changing an xml file in the data folder. To be honest I did mod this on live years ago and I'm using this here too. So if anyone can do it without control, then it would be fair to put everyone on an equal foot and remove the limit => "yes".
FYI: it's in \data\db\skill\skillinfo.xml
Just read the line for lightning bolt and it will be obvious.

Let's see here...

1. Yes, this is something that needs to be added badly imo. I'm not even a weaver and I can see how bad that stack size is.

2. Yes still.

3. YES. Okay, here's why. On live mabinogi, when Alchemy came out, the alchemy bags ran off of SERVICE. They had such low stack sizes as a way to go “Hey, here's this new thing for you guys to play around with after a few years of just melee, magic, and range!...So give us more money!~” If we didn't have free adv service on here, they would still be limited to service. I think it was only a year or two later that crystal sizes were then increased...Not sure if the bags were ever (even to this day) made usable without service. I know the brand new much larger ones are though.

4. Of course!

5. It's rather silly that you can imo.

6. Same as before, that's a yes!

7. This one has always made me angry since I found out about it. It already comes in DIFFERENT COLORS, why not let you dye them?

8. Please don't do that... I may not use her every single day, but I'll be damned if I'd have to drop what I'm doing to run around the world to her current location on horseback just to buy something. Though archers would mainly suffer from this, what with her being the only way to get 1k arrow/bolt stacks.

9. Skip question, I don't know jack about gachas.

10. No, the pets should still be released but only if their AoE abilities are removed. (or at least put on a very lengthy cooldown?)

11. I'm not 100% sure how to answer this without raw numbers...so I'll go with the only one I know. Yes, make it as strong as it is in NX mabi.

12. I don't see why not, yes. (though maybe every 5th poll or so?)

13. If you mean the unirace version, yes.

14. No. It would be such an annoyance to miss a pet due to a busy schedule, then while you have time to actually train it, it's not around to buy.

15. Yes. Don't use the argument “But it's not balanced for mages!” I want my damn elf to be able to compose magic music at a higher rate when I get there damn it. Not everything is this giant “This is now the best so and so” min maxing hell. There's more to the music skills than that.

16. Yes, but it should be possible to opt out of showing, obviously. Some people might be embarrassed or shy about such information.

17. Yes. It's sad when a guild dies like that.

18. YES. Even if no, make it so a lightning wand doesn't let it disperse at the very least, that makes no god damn sense. It's a lightning ele STICK, it shouldn't let my charge of electricity disperse for crying out loud.

19. Yes, at least until they are rebalanced to be less...well...trash.

20. It boggles my mind that they didn't effect housing, seeing that you can smith and refine and weave in housing too if you don't whore your house out as a shop 100%. Just kind of makes housing 100% useless other than minor storage and a nearly 24/7 shop...which doesn't feel like a 'house' at all.

It would fit in great if Shyla moved randomly,

Especially in this version of the game where travel is promoted and gates are limited

Question 12 Should we run a special content poll that revisits some past questions that failed to pass at the time?
Yes

Question 13 Should knuckle weapons be added? There would still not be any knuckle-specific skills.
this is a purely aesthetic option; this should be purely up to the people in charge if they want to spend the time on something like this

Question 14 Should some future pets be released on a rotating schedule? They will only be available for a limited amount of time until another set of pets becomes available for purchase. No pets introduced in this fashion will become permanently unobtainable - they will always eventually become available again.
Yes

Question 15 Currently, the Composing skill is capped at rank 6. Should the skill book "Instrumental Timbre" (that allows characters to raise Composing from rank 6 to 5) be added? It will be sold by Nele for 220,000 gold.
Yes

Question 16 Profile pages on the website show a list of characters associated with an account along with some of their stats. Should time played become one of the publicly visible stats on this page? (This question resolves to No unless at least 75% of votes are scattered across "Yes" options, in which case the question resolves to the most popular "Yes" option.)
Yes, treat it like any other stat

As someone who joined the server a few days ago I feel like it would be much easier finding parties / trades etc with someone in the same play time / level range. There is so little communication between random players aside from already formed relationships from prior months that I feel that IF the forum community grows beyond the current "posted 3 months ago" it would be much easier to use it as a comprehensive communication tool. o.o

Question 17 If a guild's leader stops playing, should there be a process guilds can use to replace them with a new leader?
Yes
or if possible make guild creation more stringent. say 500 red coins for creation ?
Question 18 Currently, a charged lightning bolt will disappear after 15 seconds. Should this time limit be removed?
Yes
also put in chain casting so i can zap the shit out of rats. seriously chain casting plz <3
Question 19 Should the drop rate of red envelopes be reduced?
Yes
I've been crawling dungeons for almost the entire time I've been on the server; every chest that drops a red envelope includes a small red gem, small amount of gold and ofc a dungeon key. theres no rng there its always the same and it seems to be every single time.

Question 20 Currently, the server rates only apply to channel 1. Should they also take effect on the housing channel?
Yes
MOAR

not a purist; this is your server take advantage of it to make it more fun o.O
small things like making a permanent mount that has no combat potential or inv; noone likes walking.
chain casting + lowering the CP of magic if possible would make bolt spells / wizard path VIABLE
rebirth options through donation or reaching level 100 ? something. or some kind of AP questing grinding. idk
always been someone who criticizes early / mid game; regardless your server. have fun with it. taking it too seriously is what breaks the spirit and creates nexon x-x once again im a casual.

I feel like I've yet to post on the forums before.. usually tend to stray away from giving my opinion but here it is anyway.

Question 1 Should the stack size of cobwebs be increased from 5 to 10? Sure, why not?

Question 2 Should the stack sizes of thick and thin thread balls be increased from 5 to 10? Sure, why not?

Question 3 Should the stack sizes of all alchemy crystals be doubled? Sure, why not? (yes please)

Question 4 Should it be possible to dye shields? Sure, why not?

Question 5 Should it be possible to dye wands? Sure, why not?

Question 7 Should it be possible to dye siren's masks? Sure, why not?

Question 8 Currently, Shyla appears in all of her locations simultaneously. Should she instead only be at one location at a time, like Price? This one is a weird one. On one side, it makes people actually have to travel normally to find Shyla(and possibly get around if one didn't stock up on Waxens), which I mean is the way the game was meant to be played.. But on the other hand, if beginner players needed to find Shyla for an additional pet, they might be inconvenienced by Shyla not being around. It's not the greatest arguement really but.. it depends. I personally will go "no" here.

Question 9 Should a new tier of lesser gachapon be added to contrast the expensive seasonal gachapon? It would be purchasable from Shyla for a small number of red coins, and contain less valuable items. So pretty much the multiple Gachas that nexon had that varied in rewards. Meh, sure I guess. I personally don't buy into the gachapons because I don't know what I'm aiming for. (needs gachapon reward lists or at least teaser lists for the valuables!)

Question 10 Currently, there are no obtainable pets in the game with area-of-effect (AoE) abilities. Should AoE pets become available through Shyla's shop? (This question resolves to No unless at least 75% of votes are scattered across "Yes" options, in which case the question resolves to the most popular "Yes" option.) Oh boy. Here's the big one. We all know that certain AoE pets made Mabinogi into SOLOnogi or PETSPAMnogi once you got a certain amount of them.. I mean literally, like 10-20 Dragons on rotation, you'll never get hit. It's blatantly broken. But on the other side.. pets in Mabi are really just meat shields anyway, so what's the difference? Well.. actually there's a huge difference. BUT,
honestly I think they could be okay either if: a) they have a very very high red coin price point (like 1000+ coins or something), b) there's a limit on how many you can have on one account, or c) the AoE stun isn't as potent as normal. Just my two cents.. I'm undecided here atm.

Question 11 Should the rate at which MP is regenerated through the use of the Meditation skill be increased? (This question resolves to No unless at least 75% of votes are scattered across "Yes" options, in which case the question resolves to the most popular "Yes" option.) I personally don't know what Nexon's Meditation rate is as I never ranked the skill but give Mages some love, go for it. I'm assuming the arguement is Mana Shield will be strong in combination I suppose. Eh, it'll be fine. Sure why not.

Question 12 Should we run a special content poll that revisits some past questions that failed to pass at the time? Eh.. depends if the vote was close or not. If it was a majority no vote on past questions I wouldn't redo them.

Question 13 Should knuckle weapons be added? There would still not be any knuckle-specific skills. Go for it. Though I think I may have some slight PTSD from seeing the poses lol

Question 14 Should some future pets be released on a rotating schedule? They will only be available for a limited amount of time until another set of pets becomes available for purchase. No pets introduced in this fashion will become permanently unobtainable - they will always eventually become available again. Yeah sure. Gives something to use coins on and strive to hit a goal I suppose before the rotation switches.

Question 15 Currently, the Composing skill is capped at rank 6. Should the skill book "Instrumental Timbre" (that allows characters to raise Composing from rank 6 to 5) be added? It will be sold by Nele for 220,000 gold. Sure, why not.

Question 16 Profile pages on the website show a list of characters associated with an account along with some of their stats. Should time played become one of the publicly visible stats on this page? (This question resolves to No unless at least 75% of votes are scattered across "Yes" options, in which case the question resolves to the most popular "Yes" option.) Sure, but have that opt out function at the ready. Some people like their playtime kept secret I suppose.

Question 17 If a guild's leader stops playing, should there be a process guilds can use to replace them with a new leader? Depends on the definition of stops playing. if we're talking like months, sure? OVERTHROW THE KING/QUEEN. I'm indifferent here.

Question 18 Currently, a charged lightning bolt will disappear after 15 seconds. Should this time limit be removed? Yeah sure, go for it. Never really understood why Lightning disapears in the first place.

Question 19 Should the drop rate of red envelopes be reduced? Yes. Personally, I don't think they're all that useful in their current state. Lower the rate and buff the rewards maybe?

Question 20 Currently, the server rates only apply to channel 1. Should they also take effect on the housing channel? Yeah, I suppose that would give housing tools some use. And take away the lost ap from running castle? So, sure!

Im just gonna join here so first of all hi from tarlach!
Also gonna comment about some doubts ive got, the first questions are a YES from me so here are the rest.

Question 8 Currently, Shyla appears in all of her locations simultaneously. Should she instead only be at one location at a time, like Price?
No

Question 9 Should a new tier of lesser gachapon be added to contrast the expensive seasonal gachapon? It would be purchasable from Shyla for a small number of red coins, and contain less valuable items.
Yes, why not?

Question 10 Currently, there are no obtainable pets in the game with area-of-effect (AoE) abilities. Should AoE pets become available through Shyla's shop?
This one is interesting because we are talking about one of the most common exploits that abused the spam of this for everything so might as well not have them.
I was thinking of solving the need of some kind of CC with a skill-like option, like Stomp or Rage Impact, which i enjoyed from mabi, but i saw some user above that talked about the uniqueness of having 1 and i liked it, like you pick a Legendary Beast per account which CC but can also be your top partner/the one people know you for, thus also making it possible to revive it with the same price pet card. Maybe as an extra they could have more summoning time in the towns or something like that to really showoff!

Question 11 Should the rate at which MP is regenerated through the use of the Meditation skill be increased?
Yes, but not quite as strong as it is in Nexon's Mabinogi

Question 12 Should we run a special content poll that revisits some past questions that failed to pass at the time?
Yes

Question 14 Should some future pets be released on a rotating schedule? They will only be available for a limited amount of time until another set of pets becomes available for purchase. No pets introduced in this fashion will become permanently unobtainable - they will always eventually become available again.
Yes, it would be fun.

Question 17 If a guild's leader stops playing, should there be a process guilds can use to replace them with a new leader?
Yes

Question 18 Currently, a charged lightning bolt will disappear after 15 seconds. Should this time limit be removed?
Yes

Question 20 Currently, the server rates only apply to channel 1. Should they also take effect on the housing channel?
Yes, off Course!

Thanks for your time!

DevCat interestingly already include palettes for most of the items even if they are undye-able.
If approved, I will try to make it both for regular dyes and fixed dyes
Should an item not have a dye-able palette, I will set it to default (which is the common rainbow colors)

Just out of curiosity, do wood items have an unused palette?

Questions 1-7 I think are pretty no-brainer questions, as in, why would we not want to dye absolutely everything? So I will skip the explanations for those and start with Question 8.

Question 8 Currently, Shyla appears in all of her locations simultaneously. Should she instead only be at one location at a time, like Price?

Nope, I don't see a reason to make her harder to get to. Simply put we need her for basic things even like 1k stack arrows so who wants to be chasing her around Uladh and Iria just to find her to buy some necessities.

Question 9 Should a new tier of lesser gachapon be added to contrast the expensive seasonal gachapon? It would be purchasable from Shyla for a small number of red coins, and contain less valuable items.

Yes, but I wonder whether anyone would actually do this? I mean, the current seasonal gacha can give absolute crap so a lower tiered one I don't think would be appealing to most people, but that depends on what kind of items you wanna put in them. Also if they never give anything rare then why would you waste coins on them in the first place. It'd be better to save up for the seasonal one to get better stuff. I personally think a gacha that is more expensive and allows us to fight field bosses (monster summoning urn PLS) would be a much nicer thing to have. Simply because you will nearly always get something useful (not necessarily rare but useful) AND you can fight a field boss.

Question 10 Currently, there are no obtainable pets in the game with area-of-effect (AoE) abilities. Should AoE pets become available through Shyla's shop?

I think either 1 pet per account or AoE pets with the ability removed will be fine. I know people will say "omg you can spam" but you can't if you only have 1 pet and you certainly can't if the aoe effect gets removed. I have posted so much on a thread about this issue so I won't repeat myself too much, but I hope one of these two optionss get passed. That way the problem of aoe pets is minimal or non-existent but we get cool looking mounts. Win-win in my opinion.

Question 11 Should the rate at which MP is regenerated through the use of the Meditation skill be increased?

I think meditation should be stronger, but I'm no mage an I have no idea how "strong" Nexon's Mabi's meditation is, but I vote yes to a buff.

Question 12 Should we run a special content poll that revisits some past questions that failed to pass at the time?

PLEASE. This is the biggest one for me. I hope SO much this gets passed because the community is continually changing and so those who played in Open Beta may not play anymore now and may have had drastically different ideas to those who are playing now. For example, why on EARTH were reduced level restrictions on SMs etc not passed??? It would mean many more people at lower levels could access harder content quicker, and since we already have double ap and double exp people are more than able to do HM shadow missions at total 750 maybe even earlier. I hope this gets passed so much.

Question 13 Should knuckle weapons be added? There would still not be any knuckle-specific skills.

Sure, I see no problems with this or why it wouldn't be wanted.

If they become obtainable again at some point in the future then I don't really see the problem with this. It'd be nice to have seasonal pets actually over time or something.

These are my thoughts on all the questions I'm particularly interested in. Overall I'm really looking forward to how this poll will turn out.

1. All stack sizes should increase.

2. All items should be dye-able.

3. Those pets are OP, but it would be fine if they were nerfed in that all 3 yes options are implemented - only one per account, costs a lot of red coins, cost increases based on power, AND there should be a limit per day or cooldown for the AoEs. That said, restricting pet models is bad, so maybe have an AoE and non-AoE version of them, and they come non-AoE but can be traded at Shyla for AoE if no AoE pets are already owned.

4. Why not make Price stay at all locations instead? Also I would prefer the gachapon idea to instead be that certain items that would have been in a gachapon be released in limited shops that rotate to continuously allow the items to be purchased directly; this would not extend to seasonal items, of course.

5. Weapons, skill upgrades, etc should all be yes. Although the meditation shouldn't be live strong. The poll should ask whether Knuckles would be race-specific or not.

6. Special content polls should be seasonal.

7. Yes for time played, and it should be publicly visible; I don't believe people will troll about playtime since most of us are Mabi veterans, so I see no reason to hide it. A voting system should be established for new guild leaders requiring a certain percentage of active guild members to vote or the vote won't count; in case of the latter, the active guild member with the longest membership time in the guild will become the new leader. Only members with a certain length of membership in the guild should be able to vote, and only they would count for the voting percentage requirement.

8. Server rates should affect all channels, or else each server should get its own rates. In the case of Housing, perhaps guilds could decide which days get which rates, as incentive for players to buy homes and/or castle dungeon in that guild's town.

9. Lower and buff red envelopes.
