That's a good point about the cost - could be a unfortunate cycle of only a small pool of people can get it, so their horses stay on top of the LBs etc. Maybe (and this is just a thought) there could be some balancing about how it was attained - possibly that makes the player interact with multiple aspects of the game? For example, maybe you'd need to 'craft' the Sven out of three parts - like we already have for the glass horses. One shard is ultra-rare in explore, one shard is an ultra-rare 'you found a thing!' pop-up... and maybe the last element can be purchased in the store (only appears rarely but once bought it can't be traded). The randomness might help protect against it becoming the go-to...
I like this idea. I don't want to rain on anyone's parade, I just see the same stables buying multiple Svens yearly, continuing to be on top, and other stables having a lot of difficulty breaking out onto significant LB placements. I did the math for the percentage of svenned horses on the ABLBs before and it's staggering. It's really hard to have a shot without existing Svens and I think it'd be the same people camping out on top and using the stronger Svens to make it even more difficult. We've had an influx of new players recently and this also may intimidate them away from trying to be competitive on the leaderboards. |

i agree with ash!! making it rare and hard will be a great incentive and protect it from being so frequently used, you'd have to really work for one |

Its the consequense of an unbalanced economy unfortunately.
Leading players will always dominate.
Blancing a MMO over a long period of time is borderline impossible.
Imagine how a new player feels.
This backs onto my comments from a few weeks ago about a game reset.
Very tricky topic.

The idea of a Sven that is stronger than the existing ones makes me want to sit breeding out for the forseeable future. This will not be attainable for most players and the people who can afford it are the ones who are already dominating the LBs with their Svenned horses.

There are currently 118 Svens in the Game, owned by 64 different stables. Nobody has a monopoly on Svens. People don't even need to show to earn them. I've seen people fund them entirely from doing quests. So, you have nothing to worry about. I'm ok with adding a few more expensive items as it's a great money sink. And there is a lot of money floating around in the economy. Have to keep inflation down. |
