guyverone Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 With the current re-balancing of the economy, I've noticed the berries are still the same cost. It would be more helpful to the people breeding and leveling new comps if the EV reducing berries were lowered to something more reasonable like $250 or $500 per berry. I know personally, out of habit when I hatch an egg I go right to the tangela patch and start leveling it up. Money isn't exactly abundant at the moment to justify spending 3000 dollars on berries to reduce them. While you can level your pokes on something that gives the EVs you need, it isn't always the effective way or the preferred way. The other berries should stay the same, or possibly be lowered as well but I think a lot of people are turned off by the idea of having to battle 6 NPC trainers or going out to payday 78326426234 times to buy one berry. It really hurts what is left of the loyal competitive community. BelovedAbra, Akshit, Gaxeus and 8 others 11 Link to comment
Robofiend Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 +1 for making competitive materials cheaper (berries, potions, etc.) then again, why not make everything cheaper? still so broke Link to comment
iSmashbro Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I like the idea of toning the prices down a bit, but I find the 'reasonable' prices you listed to be not so accurate. You have to consider the update was pushed literally 2 days ago, and that everything seems incredibly overpriced. Over time, more money will be earned, and the prices won't seem as rediculous as they do now. dirtydurrant, Kababs, BelovedAbra and 1 other 4 Link to comment
Coono Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Support! I accidently killed one wooper too many while I was EV training today, and the slight mistake cost me 1/40 of all my money, stupid.. just stupid, they should cost like $50 lol ronarid 1 Link to comment
AngryTooth Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 ill support this !!!!!!!!!! Link to comment
Trusty Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I like the idea of making competitive play easier to accomplish for new players, I dislike the idea of making money even worth less, there should be some cool things you can buy with money, or there still isnt much value to money.

BelovedAbra Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I support this idea as well, but maybe not the exact cost listed. I'm agreeing with iSmashbro, as well. Patience is something we learned with the first breeding system; we can learn again! Link to comment

I don't think reducing EV berry costs will affect the value of money, there's plenty of necessities to buy and I'd imagine they'll be adding more shit to buy in the future (I'm hoping storyline TMs and move tutors) Link to comment
bl0nde Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I think they should take a second look at the berries and dueling and see if those two things balance out. I'm not saying it is good or bad right now, but berries deserves a bit of extra consideration. If they are frustrating to obtain, it hurts our duelists because a lot of them use berries every time they duel. As others have said, dueling is the end game. That's where most of our dedicated veterans are, the lifeblood of PokeMMO. ronarid and Gunthug 2 Link to comment
Gunthug Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 +1, but they can't be too cheap, as people could still abuse them for happiness gains. Still, they're way too expensive now, as are a lot of other essential items for making comps. (For example, thunderstones are 5k! That is ridiculous.) I think items like Lum Berries are way too expensive too....they are an essential part of competitive gameplay right now. If you're not going to implement choice band, forcing basically 4/6 of the pokemon in the party to rock salac/lum berries, then they need to be much cheaper. The new economy is slowly growing on me, but it almost seems like the GMs completely overlooked competitive play when determining prices. Enough competitive players have been driven away already...steps need to be taken to keep the rest here. ronarid 1 Link to comment
Akatz Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 The new economy is realistic - things actually cost money. This is such a shock because the previous system let people buy as much of anything as they wanted. However, I think it's better that you have to work for money. The more things to work for, the less painful they are individually in my opinion. Variety and such. Link to comment
Toira Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I agree, pls lower the cost of berries. Several people have brought up this point in convo since the update. Link to comment
hezeusthewizard Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Support because it's not like you're increasing your EV's, you're lowering them. +1, but they can't be too cheap, as people could still abuse them for happiness gains. However, I agree with this too. Link to comment
Akshit Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 +1 to this idea...250 / 500 should be the new price.A lot of time while Eving multiple stat,1/2 Evs go somewhere here and there ( especially those cubones while Sp atk Eving)..Spendin 1K every time is just not fair. ronarid 1 Link to comment
