How many people do you think actually saw Q700-800 bones this world? My guess is a very small minority. I would really like it if more people had access to cool stuff with lower barriers to entry. I feel like it would make the world feel more lively, regardless of how the exclusivity is lowered.


this is BS, you hate people...

At least without quality nodes we have equal chances, which would also work nice with removing +500% quality nodes.

that's something to fix, its not fair at all

That was just an example and what you just said is literally the same thing but you replaced "angler" with "whale" :roll:

However, finding a q700 whale from the very first days is harder than just having one of those angler spots spawn right under where you settle from the very start of the world, just saying.
You don't need 10 snekkja scout bots for that angler.

500% quality nodes are stupid no matter what they affect.
if you're reading this, you're a nerd.

No, I wholeheartedly agree the rarity of truly highQ nodes, and the quality variance is unfun.
I would maintain, though, a quality 400 node being literally inside your willage in the current climate doesn't matter that much, if only because of the potential being much greater. You should outgrow Q400 bones pretty quickly if you're tryharding.
