Removing feeling of progress (aka. nerfing food and stuff) causes people to quit.

Also quests are op and boring. They should be removed.

I've also been intentionally raising my hunger to make use of higher multipliers since the satiations got stricter with the week 1 patch. You can barely eat anything before satiations make further eating a waste of food. Though to be honest, I don't entirely dislike it this way; it makes me focus on having fewer, better foods instead of collecting and consuming tons of stuff at a time. I do dislike how, ironically enough, the current stricter satiations 'force' me to log in every now and then to make better use of my food as I get less chances to eat food without satiations, which is the exact opposite of what was intended.
Vigilance wrote:a lot of these foods just outright satiate too much.
Agreed on this. Frequently it's just a check of 'did I get the satiation'? If not, I can keep eating. If I did get the satiation, often the drop is so severe that I stop eating stuff in that category until it's back to a more reasonable level.

was expecting dumb reasons but those are legit complaints

some of the quest and credo stuff is not super well thought out, though credos being new to us this world most people I play are big fans of it, its a good addition to the game, quests do need to be toned down

the lag is getting more and more ridiculous I have to agree and I thank your friends for helping to reduce it but servers clearly suck if people HAVE to quit in order for them to work

if there is anything Ithink that would have maked my noob friends quit this world its the sheer amount of unnecessary complexity with EVERYTHING, its hard to even do simple tasks sometimes and you cant even really learn as you go along, right from the very start you need to eat food and therefore you need to learn the entire FEP system in order to not seriously gimp your character eating the "wrong" things

i would be happy if the rewards were all curio based you want that sweet LP reward the rock gave you you gotta study it. they should study faster than crafted ones tho. it also gives us the option to trade them if we run a curio shop.

as for hunger rewards i feel these should spawn from trees and stumps. the tree giving you a wounder-berry and it should have a downside. eating to many to fast could kill you. and stumps could give you some sort of grub that gives you the shits. more or less giving you accelerated hunger decay for a given amount of time. eating to many could lower your STR or stamina.

i feel they could also give you curios that when studied give you small amounts of fep or a bonus to gaining a certain fep.

yeah having them give you actual objects vs just giving it to you would be better imo.

The lag does feel pretty bad right now. Especially in combat.

it is. Loftar last posted that they're looking at exactly what hardware to use for the new server, but the upgrade is coming Soon™.

It’s almost like rubberbanding lag in a game where any second spent ingame can seriously negatively affect or kill the character you’ve worked months to build is inexcusable
