Steel Making SUCKS

Postby CorwinOfAmber » Wed Mar 30, 2016 3:45 pm

Why do i need to play the game ever 12 hours like a compulsive drug addict just to make an item in it? *In an Archer voice* Do you want botters? because this is how you get botters! The original 8 hour timer was evil, 12 hour timer is still shit because not everyone who plays haven spends +20 hours online at a time. #Hermitlivesmatter

If your talking about that you dont have enough game time to make steel. Game Time does not exist anymore.

And if thats what you mean I have not made steel yet so I dont know

You have to add coals to the furnace every 12 hours I believe.
It's not about gametimes, it's about the part where you MUST check up on it.
With few to no reasons, not to allow us to just ram in the resources and wait the time out.

Reason is for making it hard. Artificial, but with effectiveness.

You are completely right.

But it's easier for:

People working together in groups.
People with too much free time on their hands.

Hermits have to check up every 12 hours.
But there's no added bonus, or negative effect, other than forcing them to log in.

Basically it promotes working with a group of people, and punishes hermit behavior.
Which seems silly.
Unless, that is the intended effect, then job well done.

You are not wrong. This mechanic is trivial for a group. Maybe extending to 25hr window can be acceptable for the hermit. Or maybe another mechanic to adding difficulty should be done instead.
