New LP System

[Lupich]

Am I doing something wrong with this new LP system?

After spawning I've touched everything I could, got a few basic skills, branched out, and within 20 minutes of playing I'm "studying" three items which so far I can tell are useless for LP (What do you get, 20LP after 10 minutes?)

I have no option to construct crates, or a home. Doesn't seem like there is anything to do for LP, should I stock up on ladybugs, dandelions, and cones, then just log in once per day and thats it? Or just sit there grinding little cones and bullshit into your study inventory?

Don't see how this fixed any "exploits", now botters will just make something to bot studying items, putting legitimate players even further behind?


Someone - Please tell me I don't understand.

Cut down a tree yet for blocks and/or boards? Make one of all the crafts you can. Buildings don't seem to provide anything. I've tried digging for worms, but no luck after about 30 or 40 dirt. You have to discover an item before you can craft anything with it. (The recipe will unlock if you have the skills already otherwise you'll get the recipe after 'discovering' the required items and buying the skill.)

Yes, I understand you only get LP once per discovery. What I'm trying to say that... Unless I'm doing something wrong this system is ineffective and stupid. Did they even think about the ramifications of putting a system so convoluted and confusing in place?

I just started playing in World 4, don't get me wrong I wanted a world restart. But this is dumb, this changes the mechanics of the game. I thought I'd give it a chance. It sounded good. It wasn't.
I've not run into any more discoveries and if I don't want pottery, why the fuck should I waste LP on pottery to get slightly more LP (enough to equal the LP you spent on pottery +2%). Why force, FORCE players into skillsets and professions they don't want. What a waste of LP - Which they made scarcer.

The problem with this game and new players is that its too confusing to begin with, it took me an evening of playing by myself and reading the wiki before I fathomed inviting my less hardcore friends to play because I knew they'd be thrown off. So finally after giving 5 people a 30 minute tutorial each over Skype I had my party playing.

Now the server restarts and its like we don't know what the fuck we're doing again.
Sorry if this sounds whiny, maybe it is.

I think I'll quit for a while and see what updates come in the future because this new system is slightly retarded.

your crying cannot bot and but yes new System sucks 1200% slower
i run out stuff make LP

[Lupich]

Not really crying, after 5 days in World 4 I was hunting boars and looking to expand. Setting up trades for metal tools and just getting settled in!

Now I'm an hour into this, I've maxed out effectively what I can do.

I don't want pottery, I don't want mining, I don't want to do any of that other junk I don't find to be fun. The new LP system has effectively taken away the ability to choose what you want to do and have fun, taking away the freedom in a sandbox MMO. Re-read that sentence if you didn't catch the blaring error the first time.

And no, I don't bot.

I'm not sure what freedom has been taken away here other than the freedom to grind hundreds of thousands of LP a day. There's not really any guides here yet. A lot of people are working together here on the forums to compile the best way to get LP to start. I guess if you're not leet nuff, you can come back when everyone else has figured out how to play the game and read the guides. Myself, I never did find playing again by someone else's walkthrough very satisfying. I like figuring it out on my own or with a group. Guess that's why I'm attracted to these alpha type games.

now youre just grinding for mats to make curiosities.

[Alya-Maya]

hi i see its hard to get any lp hope the issue will be fixe soon it hard to keep going in the game now

[DatOneGuy]

It's not hard to get LP.
You're not curious enough, this new server is about curiosity, you need it to get ahead.

I was able to make boats in an hour on my first character, I could do it in 30 on a second one easily (with no relation to first), if anything this is easier than W4 was to start off, the only thing 'harder' is the time it takes to get skills like rage and such.
