Thread: [Feedback] Changelog 23.05.2018

I am excited about the 2 recipe drops from snow white. the new quests (puppy, deer) are makign big demnds on wheat and flour and the epic farm is now a valuable resource. Works for me.

Yep. have to agree. Like 'The Great Nerfing of Fall 2014', this is the first update to go in the wrong direction. More time for other things/games now, I suppose.

Nothing has been mentioned about the island fog BB, I sure hope it isn't a ploy to hustle gems from us to simply see our screens.

The fog will be new graphics that are being rolled out with this changelog. Sorry I mentioned it in chat and I thought I posted it here as well.

Really on second glance the double of battle horse and plat swords is significant. will have to re balance several chains - wool, coal, plat to make it work. its a big change that will bring increase prices for all the componnents. my whole strategy thses days is xp xp xp. so i am virtually always filling the elite rack with ms cooking. level6 non buff can make 275 in 24 hours. that will require production of 1 non buff level6 elite stable to supply. so anyone skunking and layering rec guides will need production of 5 elite stables or the eqiuv.
I dont llike buffing work. plus the new quests demand so many steaks (50) and baskets (25) per day that i dont have spare yards for the extra buffs. So the challenge will be balancing the new chains once again. That is significant. imo

As a low level player I don't have any input on a lot of the things people are complaining about, but I would like to say I am excited for the 'Collect All' quest finally giving some reward. When you have a lot of collectibles you don't even bother looking for all of them (esp the elusive ones) and having an incentive to do that definitely makes the waits for production stop being game-closing or tab-switching moments.

There are items being introduced like 1000 star coin horseshoes, which are only actually useful on a few massive AB adventures, if at all, and then the primary source of star coins for most players is cut in half. I would think this is step one in removing BLT from the game? I will still buy the weekly gems, the premium day, assassins and ROA's, but will skip buying BLT's and just run AB's now. I will never buy that horseshoe...

If this is the direction the game is going, you need multiplayer adventures or ventures in the Excelsior, because you continue to destroy the multiplayer aspects of the game. Note this is not a knock against the EQ campaign or the coming MCC campaign, both are/appear to be excellent content, as are some of the other Excelsior ventures, but they are all one player.

IMO, the pathfinder is the best mechanic in the game... I would actually recommend introducing a mini-Pathfinder at level 50 with maybe three tasks a week so others get to enjoy the variation of gameplay required to meet each weekly set of tasks. I would love to see every adventure obtainable without gems, except for the ridiculously low drop rate follow ups like RBN/MSE/ML/OF, be a potential part of the weekly pathfinder tasks.

Anyway, now that I can get half star coins for little effort, I don't have to finish the PF each week. I have 1900 crystals saved up for the release of the MCC so 15 crystals is not that exciting. I'll do it if it's easy, but the nice thing about PF is that it wasn't always easy and the reward was very motivational.

Anyway, can we get some multiplayer content that isn't a bad coop? Anything that resembles Siege with AB bandits would work, or just regular multiplayer advents.

and, as someone said in GC-1 besieged and sea snake will now become.....SE and SoTV lol

Was a long debate on test forum about changing Pathfinder rewards... that was BB idea from the start and they kept it. so, not really a point to go there and tell your opinions, they don't listen anyway.

*shrugs

I reached lvl 70 and got the Pathfinder in January 2017, since then I missed 1 week of star coins reward when I forgot to click complete on the 7 days login quest... lately it was the only interesting challenge.

I guess it's time to say bye bye tso

One thing puzzles me is why people are getting so excited about having tons of platinum ore. Is that REALLY such a problem? For my money, I can have a squillion platy ore in star and it just means one resource at least that I don't have to worry about. It's NOT a thing I waste any time thinking about.

doubling the cost of those elite horse troops, now that is nasty. MS especially are the core of the army for high level adv, much like recruits are for lower level. I don't see the need to double the cost.

Also dubious about the new fog. We'll have to wait and see on that. Gonna be deeply unimpressed if I have to make significant effort/cost to defog again, having already done it.
