I might be making the same comment as somebody else.. i am 2 lazy to read all post, 21 pages is a bit 2 much
I want to make another suggestion about tweakig this buff.
Why not re-fix it, and then fix droprates of creatures instead of what ur doing now?
This way you can control the droprate much better, and lower/increase where needed.
Because i cannot see the big difference in increasing a droprate from below 1% to slightly above 1%.
Ofcourse when multiplyin with 1000 it is a lot, but if u get no drop, and increase the droprate with 1%.. the droprate comes down to nothing still..
The whole economy is based on FI1000 working the way it works now.
Everything involves this buff.
Prices of cave items influence price of invent items.
If these prices go up even more, all the new gear will not be affordable for the majority of the players.
SE's dont drop anything, same story.
Even hunting will become close to impossible for some players, because if you look at the AH now, EW1500 go for 20fsp (will double for sure after monday if this isnt changed), doubler potions are going to be expensive, not double but like 5x the original price.
I tried scavenge them yesterday, 2 drops from 850.000 gold.
If this also count for ew1500, then goodbye to that potion, nobody will use it.
Because buying fsp and using doubler 1200 would be cheaper.
If this is the new standard, then you can wave your hands goodbye to the caves totaly, because nobody will spend a dime there anymore.
If this is all some sort of way to generate more money/fsp for HCS, then you are making a HUGE mistake.
I had already put it in my bio, which was removed due to some language probably.
But i was wondering why the last fsp offer lasted 72 hours instead of 48 hours, with double tokens AND xp booster.
To me it seems there is less donating going on, and its a way to hopefully make people donate again.
It is very simple HCS, create MORE fun for us instead of "fixing" stuff where there are little to no complaints about, and have this drastic changes on economy.
Changes like this make people leave the game, or never donate again.
I only hear these kinds of sounds coming from all over the place, soon there will be nobody left that donates to this great game, only because you are destroying it with these kind of "fixes".
You are not fixing the game, you are downgrading it, upgrading your USD income.. not a good thing.
If people enjoy playing this game, the donations will come for sure, keep it up at this rate and within 1 year i see 600 people online at this time of day, instead of what it is now (also half less then 1 year ago btw).
People are quitting left and right, and u are not stopping but enquraging them!
I think everybody here on the forum would agree with me that there has to be some sort of communication with staff/players before executing these kind of drastic changes to the game.
Because apparently your defs/coders do not have 1 clue about FS economy, else this change would have never taken place.
Make a poll and have a vote.
Put up some names of well know people from the community, people who know how the game works, people that have been playing from start.. i dunno..
We all take a vote, and they will become your ingame guidance before applying new changes to the game.
This way the chance of big problems like this will be downsized to a minimum.
Lupp0 out.
