Arcane Curio Cabinet Nerf

I actually had forgotten it was added.

There is still a discrepancy between Theurgical Armor and most others. There is some delved recipes that match their stats. But they require delving and eldarium. Theurgical requires only level 10 and basic materials.

This one follows your reasoning.

We dovetail on solution, but your concern is understandable. Also, from what this one has seen, Savage Wilds is a magnificent map, no disagreement there. Unfortunate it is unlikely to see official adoption.

The other vanilla concussion armours are not nearly as protective, which is not for everyone, or not on the entire set.
Edit: Theurgic Aegis is very strong. This one honestly would have preferred if it was a set added to the vanilla game as some late game reward.

This one still does not understand why Hyperborean SLAVER armour doesn’t have +concussion damage, but that’s a different worm can.

The best advantage on the cabinet for me was that I could easy put my whole inventory into one box when I go offline.

The best solution would be if they add something similar to the base game

Exactly!

Already exists, it’s named vault :frowning:.

Here are the three ways we store stuff.

This is just standard

Thrall storage. Wall 1 of 3

Personal. 1080 slots with the ones on the other side

I don´t have words for this. Jesus, I don´t even know where to begin with it.

Stats and functionality per se are not the problem here. Funcom only needs to find a middle ground. But you pratically told Funcom to make every item in the battlepass, bazar and dlc´s worthless because everything little stat or functionality can´t be counted as cosmetic anymore?

Wow, I do not have to tell you how st… that is.

Chests and cupboards should always have a reasonable size. This size should be based on 1. quality of materials used, 2. size of the container and 3. how many items a game offers.

  1. A container hold together with untreated wood and some rusty nails can not hold the same amount of items or weight as a metal one does.

  2. A small container for obvious reasons can not hold the same weight and amount of items as a big one does, except number 1.

  3. If a game offers hundreds of items, those items needs to be stored somewhere. The more items you have the more storage capacity you need. In order to not overload a server with thousends of storage bins, the game devs need to provide proper storage size options that can handle this massive amount of items.

I don´t get how someone can go and blindly tell the devs to nerf a container into oblivion just because HE thinks it could be too op just because its a battlepass or bazar item. Ignoring all other circumstances like listed above.

What we really don´t need is nerfing items into the ground for the wrong or no reasons at all. What we need instead is Funcom adjusting and overhauling the current storage bins to a size that is reasonable for the game and item counts we are currently facing in the game. Starting with a simple wooden chest and ending up with vaults and other high tier material storage bins.

This can also be done by creating general container categories. Like: small, medium, large, extra large and giving those categories a set number of container space. Every new storage container then can be categorized and get the same amount of storage space then their equals.

And voila you have no op storage problems anymore.

If you bought the battlepass expecting an advantage and are upset that it got nerfed. GOOD. I want you to languish.

Because let’s be honest. This has NOTHING to do with storage space. This has everything to do with buying an advantage and then being upset that it got rightfully fixed. This wasn’t a thread about storage options. This is a thread about people using credit cards to get ahead in a video game.

If you want storage, use these feats:

If that isn’t enough, by all means make a thread asking for more options. But paying for options is going down a path that has nearly ruined the industry.

I maybe saw 1 comment from a person saying they only bought the bp for this cabinet likely after they find out about it’s storage capacity, however that in no way is what OPs post is about . Furthermore, how is your statement true for pve? This has been a generally civil conversation about the topic and I hope it can stay that way.

Its in the title. Arcane Curio Cabinet.

Not this item:

If this was a discussion about a Cupboard going from 200 slots to 40, I wouldn’t be against people disappointed in such a change. I might even agree.

But we’re talking about this item:

Which isn’t available to everyone. Its only available to those who purchased and did Season 1 Battlepass. So go ahead… explain in detail why those who purchased that battlepass should have a storage option over those who didn’t purchase the battlepass?

I asked you to explain to me how this cabinet is helping people get ahead in pve.

I would imagine being able to build a single item holding 200 slots for cheap (and only needing the furniture maker feat) helps pretty well equally in PVE or PVP. Sure beats trying to find a spot for 10 Wooden Boxes, never mind the fact you need to use 10 different containers.

Just the other day I helped someone move their stuff from one base location to another. There’s a reason I used a vault to move the stuff and not like a dozen chests. There was no PVP involved.

It has everything to do with storage space since you are arguing that the space the cabinet offers is a bought advantage.

Although I still fail to see the advantage the cabinet obviously offers in your eyes, because its way easier to destroy then a vault and way to big as beeing useful for the regular chests to be replaced in pvp, since I can stack chests very tidely in varous ways so I do not need much space to create a loot room that holds thousends of items. A loot room that is hidden very well. I do not see the cabinet offer this option, are you?

And let alone pve where the cabinet´s only advantage is to look good while helping declutter the base from all the chests that are obviously needed to play the game properly.

I guess we should forbid the additional building pieces too, gives to much advantage to people. How about the epic versions of all the bazar armors Funcom is tossing around lately that are still only costing iron? But hell yeah, nerfing the cabinet into the ground is a lot more important then fixing all the other stuff first.

I do not need the cabinet for building cheap storage space. Build a artisian worktable for 40 wood. voila you have a cheap container.

Your argumentation fails again!

I’ve reported some of those things as well.

Then you don’t need a curio cabinet either. I lose nothing, you lose nothing. This thread wasn’t needed after all.

God that you do not decide for other people which thread is needed and which is not.

Have a nice day!

Its just a comment dude. If all we need is artisan’s benches for cheap storage (your proposed solution I might add), then the complaint about losing storage space on curio cabinets is pretty moot.

Did you not want me to agree with your solution?

I think this thread serves as a decent overall look at the opinions surrounding the curio cabinet being downgraded from 200 slots to 40. The post was written in a form that was disappointed in the change but not coming off as a rant which is appreciated. I’ve seen many points of view, some aligning with my own. All i can say is that i hope the company does reconsider this change, however if they dont, i will be disappointed yet i will go back to how i played before ( bunch of ugly metal chests). But i learned a couple neat tricks for storing these boxes which is cool so something positive came out of this thread. In closing, even if the arcane curio cabinet was never meant to have 200 slots, i cant shake that icky feeling almost 6 months later akin to when the furniture company comes into my house and says:

“whoops, the dresser we sold you months ago was never meant to be 8 drawyers, but 6.”

rips two drawers out and leaves

But jokes aside, that’s about all i have left to say on the topic.

Yes exactly. All things non-core game should be cosmetic looks. Would likely make for simpler updates, releases, testing, etc. I suspect that this could be an ‘end-result’ hoped for by the Dev team, but likely a mammoth task. And they can still add some non-pay-for items to the core game to incentivise seeking the ‘Great Sword of the Knights of Ni’ or the ‘twig of slaying’.

So this one will be nerfed or make it only for decor too after they don’t sell it anymore?

Because what I saw I can place 4 of them in the place of a small wheel.

While I understand the change for the cabinet i don’t understand why they wait 6 month for it.
For me it’s bait for people to buy it.

Maybe it will become back in the bazzar! Like everything else is.
I don’t have this item, i didn’t bought it. But for the sake of the ones who bought it to enjoy it, “PLEASE” leave this item as it is. Enough with this guillotine, let Curio cabinet to be the last item in this sacrificial stone!
