timer on mother of pearl and salt next world

Postby Vert » Fri May 27, 2016 1:23 am

First of all I hope that all these resourses will be empty at the start of the world.
I suggest to remake mother of pearl nodes so they give 2-3 pearls every week and have a timer for next spawn so people will most likely come and fight for it. There's also no way that 1 faction will be able to camp all the spots so even a poor hermit can snatch some. It's like a mini-event every week. Gathering should also take some time to prevent griefing with fresh alts

Guess salt spawn time/amount is ok so simply adding a timer to it is enough

Huge fraction must separate they fighters on a few target so they will lose a lot of power. of course most of resource will go to huge fraction but if in this world you can use alts and get at respawn time 12-20 spots of resourse. with this system you can get 5-7. so other spots will go to another people.

I had this idea that salt could be made from seawater with labor intensive process, making it something that less advanced players could grind to sell more developed player who don't have time to make salt. Problems to this idea are:

A) Presumably all water in Haven world is freshwater. You would have to make two different waters, fresh and salt.
B)People would just bot the salt. Of course you could make it clicky to make blotting harder but eventually people will make bot that works and people grinding it legit are left with clickfest that encourages them to bot as well.

Salt in general doesn't feel too good idea. At least my impression is that it has only increased the gap between "casual" and "hardcore" players.

I feel this way about the majority of the special resources tbh, I have always thought they were a bad idea.

Whilst monitored and gathered by the bigger groups they are mainly just something you check whilst walking past for everyone else. It has cut off the chance to defend yourself in siege situations and the ability to build charter stones for the majority of players who would need them the most. Trade prices for them are way too high. The same applies with the healing roots, curio ones and salt as you say ... making the gap between bigger groups and the average player in effect the same as it was before we had the caps. Ofc, if the world went on long enough it is possible to catch up but as the bigger groups use their advantage to wipe out the smaller this never applies as the majority just quit and wait for the next world.

I hope that if we still have to have them in future worlds they are somehow reworked to be a useful resource for all players without the need to pay ridiculous amounts of money (which I refuse to do out of principle) for the most desired ones.

As a side note, I also hate the way they look, they seem so garish and out of place in the mostly realistic look of the world. :)

You should spend some efforts to get resourse that a rare. If it be unique for every character, people will spawn a lot of alts.

IF the timer wil be add your village can go to not popular spawn and try to get some salt. Salt spawns near water most of time so you can use archer on boat, that can be dangerous at start of the world. You can use alts. A lot of other people will do the same on other spawns, and major faction will take less than they take now. With timer small hermit can come with alt and try to get some, in fact i think they didnt come they didnt try to get. So if you didnt try i think its honest that you didnt get that type of resourse.

But we can change other resourse so the hermits can get them.
we can change healing roots that it spawn randomly 1-3 leaves every 12 hours and then dissapper from tree after 2-3 hours. But i think hermits didnt get it. Bots will get. In fact i didnt know how the hermit that didnt do anything to get resourse, can get this resourse. Maybe you know Amanda44
