If you choose to play on a server that tampers with the settings to provide a different experience, that’s on you.
“Properly” is the way Funcom designed it. We may not like it and some of us may have options to adjust it to better suit our preferences, but the intended design is the one implemented by the devs.
I play on a private server. But even I can find empathy for those who are playing the way Funcom intends their game to be played. Let people voice their concerns. Maybe if enough people do, change might happen and you or your server admins will have one less task to adjust.
I like the new dynamic fight system, I like new challenges and the treasure aspect.
In sorcery almost none of the spells were worth it to me, except of mass cull. It was all quite nice idea, it was something new after a long time. But I believe there are more players who would agree that demonic zombie horses, ugly looking pets and mounts and rotting cadaver fighters of all sorts are not something to use for your journey and experience, in game which is supossed to be survival, and the more realistic the better.
Considering treasures in this Age, I only think that it’s bad idea to include craftable treasures, or more like to price them that high. This way no one is going to drag giant cat statue like a-hole through the half of the map, because when you know how to farm, no such thing is going to be worth it.
Depends, how usable are the different treasures going to be, but I would at least put some restrictions on it - like that for silver/gold coins and bars you are not going to get the best stuff, which you will only be able to get in exchange for the rare treasures.
I’ve given instruction on how to make this work. Look how long they have been trying to get Funcom to enable dynamic building damage. We don’t really see people trying anymore because they’ve given up. Is that what everyone wants to do here? Give their complaints futilely in the wrong platform for months or years until they just give up?
I can’t guarantee it would work. But its something different than a method that hasn’t worked for similar topics in years.
As for not having to adjust something. To hell with that. Seriously. I have minute controls over stamina that allow me to play the game in particular ways that I couldn’t before without modding. I don’t have to use a mod for this anymore, and I can make combat as tactical or arcadey as I want it to be. As a player I can play on a variety of different servers with different settings and get a varied experience.
Having us all play one way is not the direction this game should go.
Does it suck that a few servers intended to be billboards for G-portal don’t even touch any new settings the developers make? Sure it does. But just like if my favorite private server had a bad setting, the forums don’t appear to be the best place to get that rectified.
The one time Funcom server admins asked the community about server settings (specifically the one about where they should set follower damage when that setting was introduced), they didn’t come to the forums here. This is a very inefficient if not hopeless way of getting settings changed on those servers.
But in case people missed it in the other thread. First you need to agree on what the settings should be. Next you need to organize a push to request those setting changes on Zendesk using the Server Performance option (thus it won’t clog up the system for those reporting players). The idea is if a few hundred requests go up in a week about the SAME settings (keyword here… has to be the same and not dozens of different ones) so it looks like there is a major issue with the current one (which there is obviously), and not a random mob of general complaints.
What’s the worst that could happen? They all get ignored? That’s the status quo. Worst case scenario is the same as posting here. Loses nothing by trying.
//I actually like the fact you can’t repair Legendaries anymore. It really makes you get out into the world more. // I feel you so much. Tho it’s not popular opinion, but yeah.
I see pros and cons of it already tho.
I get so excited when I finally find the legendary weapon I want, but so annoyed to get 50th Akbitan shield for which I have no use. But as I said before, when you have your favourite legendary weapon, you think twice how and when are you going to use it, so it has more value to you than before. Back then when you had more coppies of it, you just repaired it and that was it. And you were like “meh”, I don’t have to find another one, so… Yep, So? Also those legendaries were weaker.
Some people say that you can craft weapon, with bladesmith they mostly get pretty close to the legendaries, but usually are not better.
Maybe they should add an NPC that collects and exchanges legendary items for gold coins or maybe trade in a few legendary weapons at a time for skeleton keys. Just an idea
During the Age of Sorcery, I placed down a Sorcerer’s Skull and a Magi Skull to see if they looked different at all… Imagine my surprise when picking them up and having two Magi Skulls
I know about a lot of stuff that can be abused in the game but in the end all this things does is ruin my gaming experience. So I stay away from it as much as possible.
But in all fairness most pvper´s have a hard time not abusing. You can barrely keep up with the rest of the server when things like the headhunter event do not get hotfixed immediately.
And I do not really care what other people say about stuff is taking time to fix, because I know other companies have such things sorted and fixed in a couple of hours. Only Funcom seems never be able to do it in time.
I doubt they even test it at all lol, for example the treasure coffer can’t even scroll down.
This is something you should see immediately if you ask me, or at least test it.
What’s weird is that originally it would just say Treasure Chest x 4 or however many of a particular treasure you had. After a week or two into Age of War, they made it a long list with each item individually, no idea why they did that, makes no sense to me, and as you said, list doesn’t even scroll. It hasn’t stopped me from collecting treasure when I see it, but it certainly is one of those many smaller issues just doesn’t make much sense!
Exactly, I don’t mind small things like this that much.
The worst part of this we have no clue about how much impact this is going to have in the future.
You should keep your FC server complaints on Zendesk then. You know… the official communication method they told you use. You’re acting like a private server player on a server that lacks a discord.
I’m starting to realize you have no idea what is being discussed. You think a setting change is a mod. And when settings do change on the server you play on it must be developer action that did so.
By continuing to post here in the way you do will ensure you get nothing to what you are seeking. That is probably a blessing for those who share the servers they do with you.
Tho it’s not popular opinion, but yeah.
