What would be a good objective?



Didn't you ask for feedback and ideas when you announced world 16.1 and then proceeded to ghost the forums for a month and not read 130 pages of suggestions?

I doubt anyone would fall for this bait again jorb (besides noinek I guess)


you are right honestly, my bad

Not playing chess sir.

And for real:
I'd suggest to firstly fix some at hand issues:
- Best way to gain stats now is to eat absurd amount of food, so game is rn a cooking simulator
- Wandering Sage is not working. It does not increase other items ql. Very nice for end game credo...
- Rageless fighters everywhere
- Recently cluster of pvp bots yay

Minehole lvl 10 when? :?:

You should make it so people actually buy rage and can aggro each other. Also, if someone sets up a siege because they're so bored of nothing happening, the defenders shouldn't get to run in and out gates to stop combat at anytime. Also should fix this:

Also should probably ban pvp bots:

Also make it so you can have pvp relevant stats/gear without needing to spend hours every day grinding in an organized group of grinders that have played the game for a decade.

Realms are almost good but like I said literally nobody in the game is going to travel around checking every single 1 of the 100 thingwalls too see if maybe someone is capturing it. They still take too many months to spread worldwide. Thingwalls should either be bundled into capturable zone of like 5-10 thingwalls or you need to just give us all the info for anyone to even think of bothering with engaging. Like so:

I also previously said that if bashing the realm challenge gave us the materials required to make it, then it provide the bare minimum value of bothering to do it when no defenders turns up. Same way bashing thingpeace makes the gold pop out.

Meteor is also almost good. Actually meteor is good because it has made 3 big fights happen this world so far but only because people wanted to fight, its purely optional content because the reward is pretty meh. "Good objective" is just all about rewarding people. I know u want to avoid hermit tears by not giving 'advantages' like meteor gatekeeping L9. High end objectives should just give decorations. Ostentatious displays of wealth. A statue that glows with meteorite, etc. The formula is already there with meteor, you just need to replicate it with a few other 'events' and give trophies that people actually care about. Participation trophies like the dungeon completion type buffs or whatever would be even better for encouraging more participation. As for what events should be, I dont know this is already more thinking than I want to do.

Kingdoms is like an almost complete system, if u just finish it then maybe it can provide the juice. Some guy wrote an essay on it but Idk if it was any good. His whole point was to give a way to include all the hermits. H4D ephel duath realm is currently doing a pretty good job of incorporating all surrounding hermit into its activities.

Nice of them to tell us that somewhere, isn't it?

Please fix the description of the credo in that case. Change it to say 'TBD' or something.
Howdy!

You're right, I suck!

I suggest that you now leave a solid bookmark by this admission, such that you can refer to it at any time as a point perpetually conceded.

Further discussion can then happen from that baseline, and we need not relitigate the undisputed facts every time I may happen to hint at caring what you think.
