Game Development: Convenient Salve

[Duane]

Short of a technical issue, has anyone, or rather enough players, really hit the caps and shown what pros and cons of them are yet? If not, might be worth grinding through the other problems until we can see some data on if it's worth keeping stat caps.

Biggest downside imo:

Food is useless to a character who has reached the cap in all of or their most important attributes.

Grinding is always useless to a max level character. Difference is there used to not be a max level.

Palibashing by hand was cancer. Don't pretend it wasn't.

[Ozzy123]

It wasn't, took a lot of time, a lot of food & water and also high stats. Right now there is no difference between cheap ass palisade and expensive brickwall.

• Added Convenience. Subscribers now get a 100% Convenience speed bonus, and verified accounts get 25%, when: Crafting, Building, Chopping trees, Sawing Boards, Chopping Blocks, Fishing, Butchering, and Chipping Stone. The incentives to subscribe have seemed low, so we thought this could be an OK way to increase them. Feel free to opine.

Dunno if know bug or working as intended, but chopping block of mirkwood doesn't seem to be quicker than before.

Doubling the speed of mundane tasks seems kind of... pay to win. I have an activated account but I still don't favor this change. It means that some people can get work done TWICE as fast as others. If you guys are still on the fence about this, here are some alternatives you might consider;

Increased inheritance
Stats for purchased hats (+1 in stat of choice?)
Two or Three extra inventory spaces?

These would appeal to me and I don't think they would be as noticeable as doubling speed. Time is what it takes to get things done in this game...this seems really OP

haha, im not trolling. im just saying i would rather play a game where I don't just have an advantage over everyone because I payed.

[sabinati]

The stuff you mentioned is more of an advantage though

A lot of competitive factions already bot these activities, so it just makes the game have a little less sitting around twiddling your thumbs while you wait for things. I really like the convenience bonus, it's convenient.

[MagicManICT]

Yeah, I don't see the convenience factor being that big of an issue unless it's something like being able to ram down another player's walls twice as fast. Then it is an issue.

[Euric]

You all must have a better perspective on this. It seems big to me but I am fairly new.
