KeatonUnbeaten 1103 Share Posted September 30, 2018 One of the most satisfying things was defeating someone in combat and taking their sharpness 2, 50 percent sword. Having weapons with a higher than normal strength was rewarding, not punishing; a good pvper could still beat a bad one even if the latter had good ****. As well, the entire grinding system seemed awful to me until I actually got into it; when I got into it I felt rewarded for my dedication of time.

winterblessing 1800 Share Posted September 30, 2018 i spent 15 minutes a day grinding (with the energy system) last map and that was all i need to both top the leaderboards and help supply a war effort with the professions i had. you cannot genuinely tell me you don't spend at least 15 minutes a day searching for roleplay or sitting and waiting for someone to come along and roleplay with. nexus is not an obligation and you have more stuff to do in your downtime; which is only beneficial.

Fireheart 2777 Share Posted September 30, 2018 I didn't like a lot about Nexus, such as the combat system, but I did enjoy the way enchanting worked as it was a very easy thing for me to start up every morning and collect that evening. It also add an importance to my RP since I had access to nearly all the enchantment runes and could sell them or make trade deals. Some areas like blacksmithing or leatherworking were far more grindy though and weren't for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lark 2227 Share Posted September 30, 2018 I don't know whats dumber, the fact people want Nexus back or the fact that people expect Nexus to come back. Go play MMOs if this is what you want. I can name you several if you'd like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnsy 437 Share Posted September 30, 2018 I joined in Axios where Nexus was already a thing so I didn't have the experience of no-nexus. Having people fill specific roles in the economy with professions was pretty cool to me at the time, but if you lacked certain roles it was a pain in the ass to either: go out and find someone who does or get someone to pay it. I can't tell you how baguettes I baked, meatloaf stacks I passed out, and roasted carrot soups I waited for. I didn't enjoy LotC then which is why I was barely active. If Nexus were to ever come back I'd like to see many things changed such as taking away the pointless pixel grind. I've enjoyed Atlas 10x more than I ever enjoyed Axios. All the PVP items didn't help my view either (looking at you diamond armor + stone skin). In a world populated by a million mystical things with limitless RP potential, the focus on what buffs you need to win a war claim dominated anything else. I came to the server for role play, not to make a double chest fulls of ******* baguettes and get left clicked by people buffed to ungodly levels.

Sky 0 Share Posted September 30, 2018 As an Australian I have absolutely no one to role-play and the lack of things to do is slowly pushing me away, please bring back professions! 41 minutes ago, Lark said: I don't know whats dumber, the fact people want Nexus back or the fact that people expect Nexus to come back. Go play MMOs if this is what you want. I can name you several if you'd like. But I don't want to play another game because that will lead to me ultimately quitting LotC, and I don't want to do that.

LeoRabbit99 360 Share Posted September 30, 2018 I'm all for some kinda crafting plugin, like nexus, in which players choose their profession, and in which some professions rely on others. +1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LatzMomo 2088 Share Posted September 30, 2018 As long as the devs don't make every profession revolve around PvP or any of them for that matter, they've proven in the past they have no clue how to balance it properly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treshure 5817 Share Posted September 30, 2018 What are people going to do, roleplay? If you inserted the faith from this into cultivating exciting roleplay and events for your community, player retention would skyrocket and there wouldn’t be a shortage of fun things to do. But most won’t, because it actually involves effort beyond asking the devs to reinvest hundreds of hours into a dead project. I’ve seen plenty of settlements rise to provide intrigue and fun to their players, new and old. Haense, Dominion, Holm, to name a few. They’re not asking for Nexus back. The only people who are doing so are those incapable of creating a fun experience themselves. LotC has and always will require imagination, as it is an epic fantasy contained within Minecraft. You can’t run from that fact, no matter how many grinding elements you try and introduce to the server. The zenith of LotC occurred years before Nexus was even a thing. Success and nexus are mutually exclusive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
