Reaper cosmetic rewards

[Rys]

Since we didn't have a chance to give any feedback on this in the Lamannia preview here are my 2 cents.

I don't like the mindset where the reaper cosmetics are gated by immense grind. More or less farm low reaper skulls 3000 times and get one cosmetic for it. I would like a lot more if the cosmetics were rewards for the challenge. Something along the lines complete 20 quests on R10 at level and 2 raids on R10 at level and get a cosmetic of your choice.

Thoughts?

Actually, I was thinking of something like this..




and this one for after the 20

Just throwing in some theoretical numbers to give an idea of the grind. Considering a player would get in average 700 reaper xp per quest lasting 30 mins and would play 4 hours a day it would take him to unlock:

The 3rd vendor in total: 2 years 9 monts playing 4 hours/day
The 2nd vendor in total: 1 year 2 months 21 days playing 4 hours/day
The 1st vendor in total: 3 months 21 days playing 4 hours/day

The first vendor is ok. The second not sure (would be probably ok-ish as a third vendor) but the third is just unrealistic. Did you guys run any numbers before throwing it out?

And I think I have been quite generous playtime and xp wise. Plus granted this doesn't allow any alts since the reaper xp isn't account wise. Why do you make a grind from the challenge I wonder. You pretty much killed the spirit of the reaper difficulty before it even went live.

The idea of having cosmetics based on completions is nice, if they can do that. In alternative, they could make Reaper 10 drop an extra Reaper chest at the end of the dungeon with a chance to drop cosmetics. I also wish they gave us more cosmetics, those wings aren't really that good, and the pets are just meh.

I like that it expensive to get the Cosmetic.. but i do think that the prices for em are WAY to high.

Another idea is having the reaper xp to unlock the vendors (only the vendors, not the trees) account wise. Since the reaper encourages having the roles, I am sure many players have alts and switch them as needed (healer, tank, CC, DPS). In this case, reaching the cosmetics is even more unreasonable.

I really want myself a pair of wings made of thousands of knives.

What? A man can dream.
