What do you guys think about the direction they are going in??? Overall good or overall bad???
WTF What good will this do make crafting useless?
Amazon, give me my gold back if my 600 GS gears are trash now.
Soooo we grind every weapon to 600 individually now?
I have been hanging on hoping that they would fix the game with the economy being crap and all the bugs etc. Now they effectively screw the solo player for sure and turned the game into a grind from hell even for those lucky enough to have people to play with. This is a huge step in the wrong direction. I think I’m done. This game had so much potential too. Thanks for all you do Pritch.
Pro: Crafting is slightly easier (guarantee Stat + perk)
Con: Even if you Craft GS 600 items, they get knocked down in power.
Pro: Via Gypsum you can craft your expertise bumps though various methods.
Con: These probably will still be more efficient to get via current HWM farms.
I sincerely hope they're not doing it right away so they can get feedback from how stupid that idea actually is. It's literally HWM but worse. It sounds like they just want to bump everyone back down to 500 to start, which is not going to make anyone happy, and just fuel the unnecessary grind even more.
Everything they do is designed to slow down progression. Your over looking they are removing the randomness now you level up your expertise per slot and have to have equal level gear. Jessus time to grind my gear scor befor its changed.
Fixed an issue where possible remaining avenues of fun and progression could be had
Don't worry we added a new middle finger and time gated it to once per day.
Huge middlefinger to those who bought tier 600, to survive pvp-flagged world grinding. They will now get rolled by the highend guilds, that have more coordinated elite runs.
My initial reaction to the first paragraph was like "huh, they just slow down progress again artificially and sell it as something good?" WTF ;D I really like how AGS communicates their ideas in a way that intially should offset any thinking person ^^
The gypsum seems like another artificial way to do the same shit with giving the player the feel of control while just running after the carrot on a stick for longer. Just introducing another orb, who thought that was a good idea? Timegating crafting that potion to once a week? Timegating progress to logging in daily for 30 to 60 minutes for mindless "dailies" (lets be real, it is just that, just in a more complicated design)… I have enough of this shit. All they do is dress the game in new clothes while artifically force players to play the same shit for longer.
I avoided grinded gearscore as I hoped they introduce a more fun endgame, now I need to rush GS so I dont need to be at huge disadvantage? I am out…
Sigh. Jewelry is screwed….
What?! So going full craftsman is fking useless now unless for selling? I hated the watermark grind and liked the skill level grind more since it gives you a path to craft great gear. It was more fun for me to grind mats and levels than grinding for fking watermark that you can't even see in the system. It was a grind but at least I HAD A FKING CHOICE. I'm done, and I'm only at the first paragraph.
They better grandfather our current HWM into the expertise system, or I'm gonna hella pissed. Not grinding everything to 600 again.
Ok WTF. They said they hear that the watermark system is frustrating to players and hella grindy. So their solution is make a new name for the fking system and DOWNGRADE your gear so even if you get a 580 gear, that gear essentially becomes a lower gear scored gear. Fking ridicoulous
The new system sounds much much better but he expertise level adjusting the effective gear score in 2022 sucks.
pah new world is dead let it go i have already uninstalled myself
They are really not saving efforts to ruin this game.
Expertise should add buffs ABOVE gear score … not reduce down from your stated gear score! Fix this Amazon! Please as we will lose a huge part of players!
Here is the evil part of the PTR: They are not going to make players have a higher GS nor 200 crafting. So there will be no way to "test" these changes and they will be able to through out any feedback and push the system as they want. Overall it is bad, it forces a certain play style (grind fest / treadmill) for crafters and/or casual player base and adds time gate mechanics to what is already one of the more grind-y MMOs out there.
fck farmers, they dont need BiS gear, gamers have 600watermark on everything already
All this time i thought arena was a new 2v2, 3v3, 5v5 arena mode comming out soon. Then i saw Arena Bosses, wtf is that?
I think it's not that bad. You can still farm watermark as you do it now (a little bit less effective according to this post) and get random expertise upgrades. And they add a possibility to get a guaranteed expertise upgrade once a day. It seems more positive than negative.
Will this affect gear that we have had crafted? ie Voidbent Armor?
There are still those of us who have been taking our time and didn't buy any gear at level 60. Instead actually using what the world and crafting has given us. For us this is amazing news. However I will concede that this should have been done from the start to avoid the dramatic reaction from everyone who bought their way into 600GS.
AGS is like, "So, we heard you guys didn't like how we slow down the crafting lvl progression. Well, now your crafted high lvl weapon and armors are all useless!"
