Pay to win exploit (store hats discoveries)

[MagicManICT]

No, there is no such thing going on. The only thing going on is that you get 87 LP per hat on your account by just taking them out of your HF (which can add up to quite a lot pretty quickly).

Yeah, I'm aware it adds up quite a bit, and that it is a one time award. It's certainly a leg up on early LP by providing an instant boost to survival to make those all important early game cone cows q10 instead of q6. I think 2dox wasn't seeing it was bugs and started to make some assumptions about what a character did and didn't get or maybe did see it was in bugs, but was just speculating instead of reporting repeatable information.

Potentially stupid question, but do store hats even need to be input type? Would also fix putting them on Barter Stands?

i took out like literally all of my hats and i didnt get a discovery!!!!!!!

i did get a sketchbook discovery.

this threads stupid

[vatas]

Tired it out myself, only "The Green Hero's Cap" gave me discovery (weirdly it wasn't the first one I took.) Also got discovery from Sketchbook page.

You 'I tried nothing happened' should repeat your experiment with a fresh character instead of your main that already wore the hats this world.

Honestly after pulling out all my hats (pink cape) you get about 600 lp.

Whats equal to 7 discovery

Without crafting/hunting/forging discovery's and only one click discovery
Bush (50 types of discovery's)
Trees (152 types of discovery's)
rock (16^)
Dirt (1^)
Water (2^)

what equals about without hats 19,227 LP

Hat's don't help much if you're hardcore you'll have 25k day one easy from hunt/craft/forging/gathering.

back in world 9
if you were part of my village you'd have a google doc check list (the clients make this easily er with radar now a days)
by the end of 4 hours you should have roughly 40k LP.

for people doing the farming/ exploration
20-35 points into Exploration to find WWW's and other goods
We'd be making glasses hopefully with in the first hour (since the nerf impossible, bring back coal rocks!!!)

We'd have a butcher who'd get full survival to cut up bears and other animals.
a fisher and fighters who'd be getting STR to feed a miner.
hopefully get metal in the first hour.

the town village claim should be down within less the 4 hours of server start.

all in all.

600lp is nothing to a hardcore play group.

I initially bumped this thread after I'd heard in-game about this option and also found a report of it on the forum, after taking a hat out of my HF to verify and counting how many hats I had. But I experimented a bit just now and it appears only certain hats give a discovery and most don't, making this a non-issue.

Bush (50 types of discovery's)
Trees (152 types of discovery's)

Arguably this should be fixed though. Input types for different wood types were never intended to give players 20k LP for chopping every tree they see.

How do you know?
