Sheepshooter 120 Posted October 23, 2019 Nope, the crafting bonus were game killing... That is why they reduced their impact this much, until they get going on game balancing again... 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lordkhan4444 113 Posted October 26, 2019 yes they where power creeping there way to total power! I totally agree with the changes to int. make this a skill based game not a equip based one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zottel 297 Posted October 26, 2019 Must agree that it was a good change. 20% CB still is a good upgrade to good blueprints And the Gap between a high end craft And beginner ones is Smaller which benefits Smaller companys. Not sure how many People or companys had proper int gear but on PVE only a very small number ( under 10 ) had good gear And a high Level. Solo or small companys just couldnt effort the millions of Gold And Mythos to Upgrade 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Henry Featherstone 0 Posted October 28, 2019 Must have missed something - what the did they make to the crafting bonus system? On a semi sidenote, was intelligence removed as a buff for armour blueprints? Haven’t seen a single on till now, but also didn’t see it in the patch notes, but could easily have overlooked it.

The int was removed from armors And you only gain 2% int per Level. They doubled the int on Crows And dolphins tho. Max Crafting Bonus is 20% right now,which imo is a good change. What i still like them to Change is the repair And Upgrade cost reduced for mythical items. They are supposed to be endgame EQ but its not worth the cost right now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ahh, well that explains why I haven't seen any armour with intelligence buffs, much easier and faster to get to the stage where it make sense to craft blueprints I guess, just need the mythical shipyards, then we are set. Crow check, dolphin, easy. Much appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In a sandbox based game, yeah it kinda is. In a progression based game, not so much. On a more philosophical base. Why should I be utterly outclassed by you becuase I dont have the luxury of playing as often as you do? The int was out of controll. With a crafting toon, or even just a high lvl toon that respecced back and forth to craft/pvp, you could become iron man vs the pirates. That was clearly not what the devs intended. It is sad, they arent great at math or they would have seen it comming. It was inherently tied to not having a realistic lvl cap or diminishing returns built into the int factor. If anyone greatly misses the broken system, it's likely they were abusing it. Walking around with over 400 health and nigh invincible to all know weaponry currently in game. This was a great change and one that was absolutely demanded by the vast majority of the player base. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DoubleHelix 22 Posted October 28, 2019 (edited) And as an addition to this, you get the chance for the AMAZING 20% when you hit lvl 150.

And he was playing practically solo. Since the spring we were 2-3 active in our company which hasn't stopped us of getting lvl 135 and having the best set on the server. So the dev's excuse "equal chance for the small companies" is one of the bullshittiest excuses possible. Its all about having a clue what you want to achieve, how you want to achieve it, dedication and most of all - understanding the game mechanics.

Celio definitly was a class for himself XD but the average player would Not get that much Mythos And Gold to Upgrade, some even struggle paying their crew.

Kummba 164 Posted October 29, 2019 1 hour ago, Redrick said: How much Int i need to get this max CB 20% today? 35m XP (level 150) and a 130 crow. Come back in 6 weeks. (Dont quote the 6 weeks, it is just a wild guess) Today you can be about level 100 with a 70 crow. That would be (200+37+50)/20 = 13,5% Max is (300+60+50)/20 = 20,5% cb max 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DocHolliday 366 Posted October 31, 2019 Many of the players who benefited from this and have the devs ears so to speak complained about it. They knew it was a bad implementation. They knew it was unfair to smaller companies. They used it to prove this point and to remain competitive with the other large companies. Got to balance the short term and long term. I won't prove it. You can take my word for it or ignore it. I really don't care. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is my point too. It is about player competence. No matter what other restrictions devs will implement, they cannot make someone a better player if he has no will to become one. The sad truth is that a lot of players disregard basic info, patch notes etc. They just don't care. They want all getting served to them now and on silver plate. Well, its not working like that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It should be about competence,effort And skill,i totally agree, but i think the 60CB were just too much, while gaining "power" through Equipment is a core Part of the Game it shouldn't overcome or replace skill but it felt that way. It should be a good mix of skill competence And effort. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
