Even with a 150k LP skill, it would still be "no" ?

Post by simimi »

So I am a tree planter expert and a master metalurgist but I light a fire like a noob ?
new skills :
600 LP : lighting fire take 1 mnt and had 1/3 chance to succeed instead of the present 1.5 mnt and 1/4 chance
2000 LP : lighting fire take 30 sec and had 1/2 chance to succeed
150 000 LP : I can light a fire in a few second and know enough about dry wood to chose a good on and succed 100% of the time.

It would be a nice thing, and we can't have nice things.

But seriously, we need a more advanced and efficient way of making fire.

Starting fires is the most painful and asinine part of the game. I'm pretty sure the sound of the firebrand burning down is the sound of Jorb reveling in your misery. Every time a hearthling swears in frustration he has a mini-orgasm.
I find your lack of face disturbing...

Thing is. Jorb lights firebrand 2 times on him god server and says " It works perfectly "
He doesnt realize that some people have to light up many separate fires a day. Torch wont help you there if they are far away from each other or theres lot of time between lighting them. Same with animals. He doesnt realize that some medium/big villages have to make crazy big fields for animals.

Shubla, a torch burns long enough to cross the biggest city.

But the failure rate at firebrands is frustrating at times.

You are reason why this game is losing players.

Maybe flint and steel? 1 flint, 1 nugget of steel. Maybe 100 uses at q10, 200 at q40, 300 at q90 and so on.

Well, I don't know about this we can't have nice things argument and this let's be harsh to noobas thing.

I am not saying you should make it all easy but certainly we had some good things from now and then, for example, the combat system in this world is better. And the archery and bows make noob players able to hunt almost everything easily, well, I guess we had slingshot for that before, but at least bows are faster than slingshots.

And this stockpile thing is certainly convenient.

So I see no reason why we can't have more convenient thing like flint and steel.

Insert skill costing whatever amount of LP to increase firebrand chances. Boom.
