Game Development: Inbetween

As it has been said before in the thread, perhaps it should be that gildslots are based on quality and not prayers to random number jesus.

(avgQ/10) slots? Or less, idunno. Do whatever

Whether I like this system or not - it feels like you're trying to fix something that was not broken.

ok but i have more than adequate linen production. half a cupboard of teddy bears and five piles of wool. i'm on level 5 and have piles of leather and cupboards full of wax.

The only thing you did not have in abundnce were cork oak seeds, yeah, we got it.

gild changes do seem an off the wall change that is still young imo
rng sucks btw. can we atleast get a max slots and higher %? but i doubt you would change it now... so, what is the % based off of? such as the boot symbol, i assume agility to apply it. how much agility would i need to get the max %? 300/330?

Echoing statements that it doesn't promote diversity really. It promotes matching affinities with gilds to maximize chances which generally result in the same pieces of equipment being produced.

Overall I actually like the system, I dislike the RNG and affinity system however. I also feel it needs a lot of expansion when it comes to number of gildings/strength of gildings available. Taking the slot randomness away would be a good step, the grind/progression would be in increasing Q and improving gildings themselves fairly frequently, the clothes they attach to rather infrequently.

(avgQ/10) slots?

Lmao. Can't wait for my 20 slot shirt...
If it were to scale with q, it would be something like sqrt(q/10), like everything else that scales.

[Potjeh]

Scaling slots with q would be too much, scaling bonus with gear/gilding q is plenty.

Thanks for the update !

Would a system that allowed you to directly add slots to an item, but with an exponentially increasing materials cost make people happier?

One way to do this is that each item could have a slotability number, and you need to combine that many identical items with full slots to add a new slot. For example, Linen shirt might have a slotability number of 5. Each shirt would start with one slot and you could put, say a metal buttons in there. If you have 5 linen shirts with metal buttons, you could combine them to make a linen shirt with a metal buttons in the first slot, and one more empty slot. Then you could add, say, a patterned embroidery to the second slot. Make 5 of those and you can combine them to make a linen shirt with metal buttons, patterned embroidery and a 3rd empty lot. Continue until madness is achieved.

One tweak of this might be that it takes double the number of items if any of the gildings don't match the item's affinity.

Why not make it so quality of the equipment determines the number of slots instead of RGN, also make it less overpowered, there was many MC gilds already.
Also this is not the best way to make ppl use diferent clothes, now ppl will use easily spamable clothes.
