    I would think that you could tell if they were able to do any damage on a monster on the Full Moon event. And for that one, if you have a scroll, you still wouldn't show essence use.

    As for the freeloaders, there are always some out there that feel they are owed something and will get it with minimal effort on their part. I either avoid them when I find them or if I'm teamed up with them, I lead the bad monsters their way. :D

    I don't use essence most of the time unless I am going against a boss monster and couldn't kill it without it. I think it makes me pay more attention to what I'm doing, what my HP is, etc. I feel I have a better handle on what my characters can and can not do if I rely on the base numbers. That is my playing style. If another's to use essence regularly, then that is theirs. I don't think it anyone else's business to see at a glance what I'm doing. I do, however, think it appropriate to ask group-mates about the ability to kill the werewolves as that is critical to the event. Otherwise, it is no one's business but my own what essence I use or don't use.

    i think bad idea about name colors, some player maybe confused about rainbow name on the city, i think better use small icon of esse and use it on the last of our name like vip icon ( premium), like @Wyrwiflaka said

    its still better if use blue esse for big boss like mortis, u can still deal damage than no damage to boss on winter event


    if player use scroll, we can recognize him/her by looking at character player have sparking star so we know that player can do damage.

    i just fell sad, if player hard to colect snow essense, silver esse, or light esse, and make group with 4 member just pretend they have it, or they use their esse but in the middle of battle with boss they not use their esse again.

    ahhh, my english is bad hard to understand :(

    For those monster (wolf king, winter bear, etc) need specific essences, DSO could force players equipping essences to enable skills in monster's fighting area. All skills are disabled in the area if no essence is using. Free rider can't do any fighting. Just like entry area in Dragan, Gorga's room.

    Except, once in a while, I feel generous. If the other player provides the vial of blood, but has no ess, I'll do the killing so long as they use any stuns and armor breaks they have. Mind you, they need to tell me this in advance, and I need to really like them (or at least like their alt), and have the time to be doing them a favor.

    So I have this vile of blood...hehehe

    I once tried this other game out called Kings Road for a little bit before being introduced to this one. At the completion of each map it would rank the group 1 - 4 by damage dealt and then award additional experience points to the group. I'm sure the same could be done here with little changes as they have something similar in place for the PVP system already.
    At least you would know who is pulling their weight versus those pulling themselves after each and every run.

    I agree with you, we took a guild member who did not have essense but had a vial of blood, they used stuns and helped the party. The funny thing is before our guild member with out essence joined us we had a DK join who I did not know from another guild he said he had all the essence we need. when we started fighting he started shouting boss only. he then called us all noobs because we where doing the 500 wolf quest , he said it was wasting his silver, he stoped fighting and led loads of mobs to us wile we where in combat, got half the party killed and left varholm. then our guild member who had no silver joined us. he was 5 lvl's lower and turned out to be a valued asset to the run.
    It was a very strange turn of events (pun intended).

    many good ideas here. bottom line find a way to show if essense are used and what type (snow, light etc.)
    it can be optional and left to the group to kick any player that chooses not to show the type of essense used. the problem of freeloaders must be solved.
