State Of The Game

Enhancing Grand Fantasia for a Growing Community

Hi everyone,

I recently came across a post discussing the decreasing player base in Grand Fantasia, and I wanted to share my thoughts on the current state of the game. While it's true that we are seeing fewer players, I believe there are several aspects of the game that work wonderfully and others that could be improved to help attract and retain players.

What Works Well:

• Specialization System: The specialization system is brilliant. It ensures that players always have an XP objective, even after reaching progressive level caps. It's a smart way to keep the gameplay engaging.
  
  
• Sprite System: The effort required to build a semi-optimized Sprite is rewarding. It adds a layer of strategy and personalization that keeps players invested in their progress.
  
  
• Standard Quests: The standard quests provide substantial XP, helping players stay close to the max level after completing all the quests. This progression system is well-balanced.
  
  
• Title System: The title system is a great motivator for achievers. It offers a minor stat boost, which is a nice incentive for players to complete various challenges. Well done!

Areas for Improvement:

• Dungeon Modes: While dungeons can be played solo, in groups of 5, or 10, a significant part of the community enjoys playing in duos. Given the game's couple and marriage features, adding a two-player dungeon mode could attract more players.
  
  
• Talent Combinations: Introducing new talent combinations would offer more build possibilities for players. This would cater to diverse playstyles and strategies, keeping the game fresh and engaging.
  
  
• Dungeon Rewards: Currently, dungeons mostly yield items for economic gain. Introducing unique artifacts and rare items (with a low drop rate) would add excitement. Consider including shop items as potential drops to spice things up.
  
  
• Daily Quests: The current daily quest system is somewhat tedious, requiring a mix of alchemy, couple activities, dungeons, etc. Implementing a single NPC who offers a major daily quest (e.g., completing 3 level-appropriate dungeons) with a substantial XP reward would be more appealing.
  
  
• Equipment Customization: Introducing an NPC that allows players to modify equipment attributes for optimal builds would be a significant improvement. This way, players wouldn't need to recreate equipment multiple times to achieve a fully optimized build.
  
  
• Game Speed: The game's pace feels a bit slow. Increasing the base movement speed would enhance the overall gameplay experience. Despite having a build focused on maximizing this attribute, I still find it lacking.

By addressing these areas, I believe Grand Fantasia can become even more enjoyable and attract a larger, more engaged player base. Let's keep the discussion going and share more ideas to improve our beloved game!

Cheers !

So much THIS! I was reading up while playing this the first time about how dungeons would be soloable with decent oranges and was hoping they'd be playable as a duo too. With me as a paladin and my duo as a Cleric, the SP variants are doable for me, but very difficult for my cleric friend to the point I stopped doing them so I wouldn't outlevel my duo partner.

Hi Mr. Nobody,
I don't know much about PvP because it's not what attracts me most to the game. That's why it doesn't appear at all in my positive or negative points :)

under 1k player on steam and nearly no group for the new dungeon :D
it takes nearly hours to find a group for 1 run and then for a 2nd.
I think everyone soloing with his +10 gear or playing with premades.
