Literally you bringing up trolls. Which is why I addressed the topic.
I asked you a question about trolls because YOU brought it up? I'm not throwing shade here, but did you lack awareness when making this post. I know you didn't read the your own quote for you to even believe I brought it up.
Unless i travel with a group, I don’t do much farming. Even before this topic, i notice that good dungeon hauls were scarce. Even elite loot drops weren’t good anymore.Wandering_Woodsman wrote: ↑Mon Mar 08, 2021 8:04 pm .....I've just got one question. Just one.
Where in the bloody blue blazes are you finding all this gold to spend? I've been scrimping and saving for a very long time, and I think I MIGHT just have enough to help the Phoenix with getting a blacksmith shop set up. And even that's a big maybe.
Honestly, I need to befriend an old rich person, and start praying to every god in the pantheon to get named in their will.
Nah. Just make friends with the right people and run with thier group. They don't have any issues, since the go to answer across the board is just exactly that. Or roll a toon and streamline your RP into exactly what the server now favors. You'll be fine.Wandering_Woodsman wrote: ↑Mon Mar 08, 2021 8:04 pm .....I've just got one question. Just one.

This is not true. I am a nobody and the devs were very nice to me even when I was being rude. The loot changes really made the swrver have way better loot than it had before.Reckeo wrote: ↑Mon Mar 08, 2021 9:00 pmNah. Just make friends with the right people and run with thier group.

Seen this before. Depends on who's running the server. They do what they want, justify it how they want, and everyone else can hit the road. Don't like it? Sorry mate, you weren't on the list of peoples who's opinions counted into enforcing this decision.

I still play the game right? How bad can it really be?
The team does a lot of good work, that wasn't what I was getting at.
Oh, and uh..... " I cannot let you say these things because....."
Yeah, you're not in any place to 'let' or 'not let' me say or not say anything, least of all my own opinion or perception.
Your experience is different than mine. Good for you! But don't come in here and discredit my experience of which you know nothing of.
Two things came to mind, though not sure how feasible they are, or if already been discussed.EasternCheesE wrote: ↑Tue Mar 09, 2021 6:20 amReckeo wrote: ↑Mon Mar 08, 2021 10:54 pm I was already spoken to. I get it.

Man, i use to play rogue in both UD and surface. They are expensive, they rely on UMD and they suck at solo grind (but that's what i actually do a lot since i'm in EU timezone). My pc started with +3 plain gear and he was leveling from lvl 1 to lvl 16 in solo completely since there were noone in level margin to team with. Guess what? He has 300k in his pocket, most of his gear is either +3 with hide/ms or +4 right now, ninja hood epic and saving for ninja boots. Tons of gold are spent into UMD. I do even have a counter of about 50 on my mist lake teleport rune.
Yeah, i grind a lot, but me being able to spend several hours a day to achieve that in 1-2 months doesn't mean you won't get it after, say, 4-6 months. It's just a matter of hours invested and planning done.
I'm not, by all means, a skilled builder or microcontrol god, yet i am able to overcome the challenges server puts me into. I don't see reason why you can't. Gold is not scarse, in fact, when you level up by adventuring, it's tons more gold and good items you receive now, after loot rebalance.
The loot rebalance itself solely hampers one's ability to get 30k spending hour making loot circle of hilltop-orcs-gnolls and graveyard-chiontar-uldoons impossible.
Instead of a quarrel happening there, can you please calculate and propose a change, taking into account balance, income/time invested, repetitiveness and other possible factors, to give us a system that would work better than existing one? That's what i'd call constructive way of working things out.
This has been suggested, and I like the idea quite a bit.. for maximum impact they should be more like the shells and mandibles, and less like the horns and pelts, that is- if they are able to be sold to vendors directly instead of turned into an NPC, they had the added benefit of become a trade item and one that can be used as an RP tool.(1) Monster Hunter bounties. Kind of like the ones for undead (low level), wolf hides, troll hides, and minotaur horns..but....more. Maybe things that spawn in inventory like spider legs/crafting shells but things like....goblin ears...giant toes....wyvern scales (or stinger), orc fangs etc. Granted the overall idea seemed to be to cut down on higher level toons blasting through lower level areas for loot, this may not be feasible if it only re creates the problem. Open to thoughts, I like this idea though.
There is already a player rp initiative to buy Spider mandibles and beetle shells as well as other monster parts. Just thrown in here for advertisementPlanehopper wrote: ↑Tue Mar 09, 2021 7:30 pmThis has been suggested, and I like the idea quite a bit.. for maximum impact they should be more like the shells and mandibles, and less like the horns and pelts, that is- if they are able to be sold to vendors directly instead of turned into an NPC, they had the added benefit of become a trade item and one that can be used as an RP tool.(1) Monster Hunter bounties.

More animal/monster byproducts, sellable on the open market or able to ve processed to create something else,, would be a great add.
