mining really sucks right now

[Kaios]

i really like how people want me to build mining outposts all over the world like that's fun content especially with traveling and roads being a cancer.

let me have 3-4 villages too. maybe i can station alt miners there too.

Even just maintaining various claims over all the mineholes becomes a chore for casual players let alone establishing bases in new locations for further exploration. I have one alt with about 10 claims itself that is already out of experience with bonds that have yet to be filled and so that means spending further time on gaining exp for claim holders too.

I think the intent regarding trading with oceans does not really match our current reality. Everyone that I can easily trade with has basically the same stuff as me which is useless and most everyone else that you need to trade with is too far away and locked behind a knarr requirement. Even if you own a knarr it still is apparently a huge hassle at this time to perform long distance trades.

i think poverty is a thing in W11, metal wise

maybe it will lead to something interesting, late game, maybe poor players will stay longer than rich ones

Wasn't that a thing in W3?

At least we had teleports.

Very true. Roads just aren't the same.

i'm not lucky at all, you're just lazy

Didn't call you lazy though. I don't mine ore underneath my base like last world.

I have one alt with about 10 claims

You having 10 claims already is a perfect example of why its easy.
You don't even need to claim all the levels to set up an outpost.

I meant 10 claims in general not 10 claims all in mines and if you’re gonna make that claim against someone who isn’t even a power player then I really hesitate to give much credence to the rest of what you say.

yeah in the days where that was a definitive necessity and your outposts once established were infinite

and you could freely fast travel between them

Always quick to find any reason to dismiss what the opposition says I see
I also meant 10 claims in general.
You could easily put one of those 10 claims into a lvl 1 cave for minehole. Stop hogging all the localized resources.

Make a travel alt who has lung cancer.
Why are you trying to circumvent this intended mechanic.
In stead of passing out drunk like in legacy you slowly lose your hhp.

making travel alts, making mining alts thats not what the q&a said about reducing the need for alts lol as it is now this game is turning into a pile of warm poo poo for hermits, i have shit tons of tin but nobody in the vicinity has any copper and i am talking like a whole grid so gg. Ore is rare and scarce and when someone who found it says "lul git gud i waste my life mining ore" makes me wanna roll eyes - mining sucks right now and thats a fact, unless you get lucky or are part of a group you are shafted hard.

mining sucks

Congratuations on your 3,000rd postings! The miner in my village do not seem to be complaining, but he is really happy-go-lucky kind of guy, so I think maybe this is some bias.
