May as well start using Curiosities right now

I don't think you understand it correctly. It doesn't force you to do a certain task, in fact it's quite the opposite. You can do whatever you want and you still have just as much chance to get some good LP gain as any other player. Plus it completely eliminates the grind for LP factor.

Christ the first month of this world has consisted of people grinding buckets and murdering everything that moves. What a fucking sad sight it has been.

Right yeah, makes more sense now, thanks.

I'd certainly hope that an idea as promising as curiosities is not being held up simply for lack of mere art assets, more likely it's due to Salem development taking precedence. The best possible scenario is that curiosities concept is actually being further developed in Salem right now and will be brought back to H&H once its finished. From what I've read this system will be make or break for my interest in either game, which ever implements it better will be the game I'd play.

This would be pure awesome. Especially since my char just died and I'm a bit disheartened to try gaining back my lost skills...

My question is, wouldn't this make those players who've been "playing" H&H longer that much better than newer players? As long as the old player just occasionally signs on and plays, gets these items... they'll still be gaining LP at a comparable rate to a new player who plays hard?

[Jackard]

not an issue

[SeanPan]

That's fine; players who are more active still have access to a lot of advantages - being able to get fur, hunt, build, etc, etc. This might also be true of players with excellent support structures from their villages, but that's an upside of sociality which shouldn't be discouraged.

On the other hand, we might have issues with alts left alone to become extremely powerful. I'm sure there's a way to address it.

No, you would get curiosities from farming.

[OvShit]

eh, I'm not a huge fan, simply because not all of us are bucket grinders. I farm with an actual farm and gain decent LP from it, and then I use that LP to pump up my farming skill.

Instead now I'll be cutting down every tree in sight and chopping the stumps to so I can raise my farming skill.

Do not mess it all - those LP-givers will sure be given to you from any activity that`ve been giving LP before. The only change will be you`ll not have to GRIND GRINDITY GRIND for it.

No, you would get curiosities from farming.

Even so, unless certain tasks have higher odds to balance the often smaller scale duties of those tasks, trees will still be targets; can only farm so much in a day, depending on your farm size. Plenty of trees to chop.

[Potjeh]

Nah, it's not how the system works. On the test server, the number of curiosities you could have active at once was determined by your intelligence, and you couldn't have two of the same kind going at once. So yeah, you could still target trees alone, but you'd only be using one or two slots while people who play in communities and produce a variety of goods would be able to use all their slots and would thus get ahead of the macro chopper.
