Please bring back sacrifice for credos, but different

Postby Vassteel » Tue Apr 23, 2019 3:58 am

So i really miss the sacrifice yourself for a credo reduction and im sure others agree with me.

so i was thinking why not bring this mechanic back but make a few changes to it

heres my suggestion. In order to receive the bonus you have to be sacrificed by your villagers or realm king at a irminsul or an object that can be built in the realm capitol.
you get an x amount of reduction bonus for x amount of attendees at the sacrifice. if you choose the realm option it should cost realm auth and provide an additional bonus to reduction.
also if you are sacrificed you cant choose any inheritance other than the standard burial so no state funerals for sacrificed individuals.

i feel like this would be a good system for something that was originals a cheesy way to game the system.

The reason you miss it is not because it was a sensible mechanic (it was really dumb), but because credos could use some work to make them more fun and flexible.

Why not just fix the questing system for Credo's by giving us 3 or so random quests to give us more options. This way it's more likely to get something doable (by effectively giving us 3 quests to choose from and only needing to do 1, allowing you to choose which is best for you at the moment) instead of having to continuously get lucky through RNG and abandoning quests.

Would make more sense than killing a character to progress in the game..

Killing off a character should not mean they progress further, it should be quite the opposite. "Yeah I had to die to enable progression" just sounds plain stupid. Let's not put a bandaid on a problem.

yeah i agree questing is the root cause here and should have some work done to them but with the past track record we might be worse off if they change it anymore.

No.

Choose your path wisely, and the sacrifice you make is not infinitely just getting all credos because the amount of effort becomes unreasonable. That's already the sacrifice

Fuck this stupid train of thought for ever and always.

The game is designed in such a way that crafting has too many stats for too many different items, and Jorb has declared numerous times, that characters ought to be well rounded.

How can you advocate for well rounded characters and specialized ones in the same sentence? Alts and no alts. 2+2=5.
