the whole composing update was not a surprise and showed more how little the admins know of this game and what is really needed, composing was one of the least desired ones 

 

I am not dissapointed because I had no expectation and knew the update would not fix any of the many bugs we have reported for years or give us an update that most of the community actually wants

 

when I read in forum that it was a composing update I knew you would increase smashing hammer, the worst skill that many warned you about and you delivered the opposite

 

4 years and then this update, speechless

 

I do not know why you did not fix any of the many bugs we kept reporting to you over the years, always the same reply that it will be fixed with the new update which never happens (leader chat, chat notification broken ....)

 

and this new update broke more things here, look everything connected to logs, too many to count

 

this is brutal honest feedback, you can either take it or delete it to hide problems

I think if something promotes activity within the game is good for the game as a whole.

Involving players from multiple facets of the game (Arena, Ladder, Titan, so on) can be good too. Very few players have access to *all* the resources on this list. I think most players will find themselves taking to the market to get their hands on these upgrades. Eventually, a shortage of goods will happen and everyone (little guy included) will try to get their hands on anything they can sell at a profit.

It will create activity in the long term, because even if they "big guys" don't take long to get it, the "smaller guys" will have something to work on for the long term.

The list might need some tweaking (less Hunted Cow items, higher # of lower Epics because of availability) but beyond that, I think something like this could benefit *everyone*. Some will just get it faster than others, that's all. Which is not a new thing, but hey.

Interesting observation activeh1, and instead of exploiting it, you choose to share it to help have it patched. Kudos!

 

he just went after our relics and has been all morning doing so, like usual he is fully exploiting the bug like he did for months with the merc bugs in relic captures

next time you post make sure it is not nonsense and kudos on exploiting another bug, did not expect anything else from you

Know I'll get crap for this... but while trying to write helpful advice for a returning FS player from my memory... gonna suggest

 

1) a 24 extension on the 2XP event. 

 

I do think that's overzealous. My finger-to-the-wind calc says 12 hours would be sufficient for all time zones across the globe. 

 

I think the 24-hour move would quiet "most complaints"... not all mind ya... let's not noob it, rotfl. 

 

2) Extension of buffs. Not even gonna think about what that entails time-wise. No matter what you decide, some will naturally be screwed. 

 

This, my best customer service guess is 24 hours to fit the time zone of the peeps, if not the day they planned. 

 

3) Extension of mailboxes and or Auctions. Openly admit that I have no idea on how the latter affects peeps. I think a 24 hour extension on all current mailbox items and those that expire while the problem persists "should work". No promises. 

No, the original intent was to allow those who had hits to make on Titans linked to Quests to do so even if the Guild is on cooldown. I personally think the blanket change should be removed.

Personally I like that it was changed. The prior guild cooldown was massively punishing on the bigger guilds. That means 1 person out of 100+ gets a chance at participating in a titan event per 7 days. This change gave every player a chance to earn one by themselves. Rather than 1 person gets a chance and then nothing for the rest of the guild for 7 days.
 
As the chance of a personal secure applies to every person I fail to see any valid reason for it's removal.

(Ok, since I am typing this for the second time, Since my "session expired" after my first run through, and none of it was saved, know that I am typing this with anger in my heart LOL)

 

     First, I have been playing this game for a decade, off and on at times. I came back to the game before Christmas, about 5 months ago, and was pleasantly surprised by something. The something I am referring to is the resurgence of some long dead epic items. The first ones in the game in fact. The Inferno Hammer, the Steamwork Cuirass, and the Writhing Ward.  All of these items were given a considerable boost in worth, and function with the tier system. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hammer P/FF +79 stamina           Cuirass P/FF 0 stamina           WW P/FF +125 stamina

                          0 stam gain                                0 stam gain                            2 stam gain

                          0 xp gain                                    0 xp gain                                1 xp gain

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tier 5               +223 stamina                               + 240 stamina                    + 202 stamina

                          5 stam gain                                  5 stam gain                         5 stam gain

                          4 xp gain                                      4 xp gain                             4 xp gain

 

     Quite the considerable change if you ask me. And why not, the first epics in the game were experiments to be quite honest, and once others were introduced, deserved to be made "epic".

 

 

     Titan hunting used to be one of the most lucrative areas in the game, now it's just a dead husk of what it once was. Since I came back to the game I have seen titans sit for WEEKS without being cleared, and even saw a titan get cleared and the item go to an INACTIVE player. Seriously, an inactive player received a titan epic because it took that long for it to get cleared? Titan epics have all but lost most of their value(incentive to hunt) and therefore become something of an off-chance past time. Here is an example......before I went inactive for 2 years, I bought a Deepwater Choker that was Perfect/Fully Forged for 300 FSP. Now I can go to the AH right now and buy one that is uncrafted without forges for 13 FSP. People are practically giving these items away, and the titans that drop them are living on the map far longer than they should. Something needs to be done about this, and I have a suggestion........  

 

 

     Introduce the same type of tier system to "HUNTABLE" titan epic items as you did for the IH, SC, and WW. The overall stat enhancement doesn't have to be game changing, just enough to make them worth hunting again. And nothing as drastic as the aforementioned tier items. It takes 16 Inferno Hammers(in a perfect no failure world) to make a tier 5. This in itself is insane, just because the failure rate is ridiculous without the help of the best, and some "discontinued" potions in the game. Not to mention the other gear pieces required to make them which have become insanely expensive.Super Elite items required to invent an item is ok, IF the chances of finding an item from one isn't 1% with the best easily acquired FI1k pot. Hell I just sat and watched LE gear get sold for gold in the AH during the last LE during Easter.  Use those items for the recipe, and lets spice up GvG a little bit........

 

     To invent the tiers of the huntable titan epics create a new "resource" or a few new "resources" that require guild RP to purchase. They can have a 100% extraction rate and be unaffected by Extractor II. Thus, increasing activity in GvG as well. Ok, I'm tired as I work 3rd shift and have been up past my bedtime. Thanks for looking at my post and rest assured Belaric, an even more epic post(suggestion) is still in the works lol.
