Patch 1.4_04

[Trouvo 205]

correction sorry it used to be

1,035,224,681.53 from level 99 to 100

now it is

150,000

i would say that is a big difference

[Aren Whitestorm 65]

Wait, which one is used now? 'Current', or 'Recommended'?

[｡◕‿‿◕｡ Hawk Whitestorm 715]

current i think

I understand that the old system was ridiculous at the higher levels... but I don't think this was the right fix... I'm going to have to smelt half of Aegis to level up blacksmithing...

Even if I built my large fortress three times over and smelted every stone used, I wouldn't be considered an expert by skill level... so I'm not sure how that helps RP...

[Cosmik 220]

"Aegans" sounds better. Rolls off the tongue.

[themaster 1]

it shouldn't take 2 days to level up that is just a bit silly.

i think that the mining skill needs to be slightly adjusted by the following:

• change it so that you can mine diamond at 40+
  
• when you hit 50+ you should maybe get a more regular chance at getting multiple drops
  

[Decks of the Black Axe 3]

so I just did the math... assuming I could work at a 1xp a sec pace doing mining, which is pretty ambitious with needing new picks and sanity, it would take me just over 4 hours of doing NOTHING but mining to move from 30 to 31.... (assuming entirely stone)

That's just silly, I'm sorry. This server is good because its actually got good roleplaying... If I have to mine for 4 hours straight to move from 30 to 31, I'm not role playing, I'm grinding. I want to be able to be good at mining, because it fits my character, but I'm not going to have fun trying to get my character to the skill level to role play the way I want to.

I understand that skills need to be difficult to level... but this is too much. At the rate and the way I play, it will take me over a week to go up 1 level, and I think that's the way many people play (at least the one's I know in game)

14,415 xp to go from level 30 to level 31

assuming 1 xp per second 14,415 xp/60secs=240.25 minutes

240.25/60= 4hours

(I realize the math is on the spreadsheet, but looking at it this way makes it clearer to me)

[NairOG 1]

I now know who to ask for help with my math.

Vaq you just got a vermin.

[themaster 1]

yh but to get to 70+ it will take months of sitting there digging away which is taking people away from the biggest part of this server the role-playing (communicating with others in the world of aegis).

[Decks of the Black Axe 3]

vaq, there is no question that the later levels are much improved... but improved does not mean "right" or "balance" or "where it should be"

so "get back to me" when you respond to the intent of my post.

(I'm being respectful of your efforts and opinions, no need for you to scoff at mine)

[Alys 2]

Just got my mining permit today only to learn that I have to mine cobblestone for more than a day straight to even touch a piece of iron?

:(

I can appreciate that experience at higher levels is a fraction of what it was before, but perhaps have some mercy on us lower leveled and move the tool requirements back a little?

[swstiglich3 9]

196 years eh that is possible....... WAIT, REAL TIME? WWWWWWWWTTTTTTTTFFFF?!?!?! lol good job on the new formula.

[Pudclud 32]

I know we all want lower skills, including me sometimes. But in order for this server to work, we can't have everybody get 50 mining in just a week. That's insane. I do agree people should not be slaving away grinding skills, but you don't have to grind all the time. This is an RP server, and it should be treated like that. Sure, go mine every so often if your character is a miner, but don't do it to a point where it is the only main thing you focus on the whole time your in LotC. Divide your time, and have fun doing it.

[Menchin 15]

Ahhh! Mathematics! *runsaway*

[Bal0r 70]

I LOVE the new skills system! It makes leveling up to level 42 harder but then it gets waaaay easier.

EDIT: Um.I have a skill at level 48 and I still need 93k to next level
