Now that we can’t use a pick on the small rocks, trying to gather crystal on Siptah now is awful. The larger nodes disappear when you hit them with a pick and getting more than 4 at a time is impossible. Is there a faster way, or is this how it is now?
Another change that really didn’t need to happen
Mass cull. When sorcery came out that’s how I and my clan gathered crystal the quickest on Siptah.
Or they could put the frickin’ systems back the way they were instead of changing things that have been in place for years just to force us into using that stupid spell…
Precisely.
In another thread around crystal gathering, the argument was that gathering crystal via a tool was an EXPLOIT! MUST BE STOPPED!
As we know, crystal is a game changer. Whoever has the most crystal, wins Conan.
Because, reasons.
Next up, defending the dye bench change because paint chips and head trauma is a terrible dietary choice.
Yup, completely agree. But for now that is what we have.
I want it to return to the way it was.
So do I. I hate what the game has become, used to be a go-to game and now I can barely bring myself to log in and I really only do so to maintain my structures on the off chance that the game becomes fun to play again soon.
Finally uninstalled. Took a lot to do that for me because it was a game I played almost daily for 3 years straight after coming back from the early days in EA.
I was waiting to see what would happen with the most recent hotfix and while they did sort of fix the sprint thing for console, they didn’t fix, revert or address so many other bad things. It also made a lot worse, again.
There’s no roadmap.
There’s no communication.
There’s no apology.
There’s no explanation.
And they couldn’t gaf about the hacker problem.
So I’ll watch for now even though I have every confidence things won’t change for the better.
I always forget magic, as other than portals and body summoning, it’s been mostly useless. Thanks for reminding me! Cull seemed to help a lot.
Wait, so you’re saying I should stop that? Well now I have to rethink everything…
It’s not just Siptah, Exiles too. I tried a pick the other day and several other tools on crystal and nothing happened. I had to pick up by hand. This game is so broken right now. Sounds like it’s time for Funcom to sell the game to another company that knows what they’re doing at this point.
I think this is my issue with Funcom. There are still dozens of major bugs that need to be addressed, but instead of doing that, they make harvesting harder. All this is doing is upsetting players more than necessary. If they want to tighten gameplay, them by all means. But fix lag, rendering and cheating issues first.
Yeah, I’m getting awfully close to uninstalling the current version of the game. Very likely going to install the pre-Sorcery version of I do that, probably set up my own server so I can enjoy the game again.
Crystal has many ways to be obtained, not only the crystal nodes. Even obsidian nodes and iron nodes are giving you crystal.
For pvp in Siptah you can say that crystal now is an issue. But whats the greatest reason pvp needs crystal? Dragon powder.
In Siptah dragon powder exists almost in every loot table.
On exile lands i went on warmakers and gained 30 pieces of dragon powder.
Pve! Why we need crystals? Flasks. Again every loot table includes Flasks, tons of them. The ones that’s filled with water spam square button to empty them. They’ll be significant lighter and you can carry as much as you wish back home.
Bearer packs have good amounts of crystal as well.
As for purified water, the bar woman is offering you plenty purified water so it’s not necessary to use crystal here either. Getting 5k gold now is costing you a few shaped wood and iron reinforcements. Get a heroic treasure 100m away from the spawn, place down a treasury chest, ask the accountant to make it gold coins, retrieve them from the chest, dismantle and there you go, 5k gold in 5 minutes. Go buy purified water you’ll never use in a year!
Plenty workarounds, plenty! Have fun!
I do support the change to tools being able to harvest increased quantities of resources, even though I do feel the pain of it as well (Funcom made one of my favorite videos obsolete 
).
However, I think it would be welcome for them to add new alternatives to replace magic tool multiplication. And sorcery should be an advantage available to evil players, not a requirement.
So I think it would be a good addition to add something like larger, minable crystal nodes to crystal-rich areas and bird coop placeables that could produce eggs akin to a beehive or fish trap.
