Patch 1.6.7 | S.S.O: Lumberjacking & Mining

[someguy45187 29]

[*]Added a command (and soon a donation option) to convert your total level into skill credits to be redistributed however you want them to be!

What is the command?

I like the changes with the reduced levels and the chances for ores to be dropped depending on what tier of tool you use, but preventing players from placing blocks is going to be a problem.

Great update Vaq! I love how the skill system changed:

*If you aren't a lumberjack or miner, don't even bother trying to gain ores or logs. However, the BREAKING of these blocks are still allowed at very low levels, which keeps the necessary convenience for people to go about their daily lives.*

However, as others have said, I would still like the "placing of blocks" level requirement to be removed or toned down ENORMOUSLY, because it doesn't take much skill in life to PLACE a block that is already pre-made, pre-mined, or pre-logged.

Looking forward to the other skill updates, Vaq. Keep it up!

Alright, I am the one who would like to come to a middle ground decision to aid all of us as a whole, both Vaq as a coder and the players in general.

So this code was instilled with the hopes of pushing for more player interaction and the hopes of pushing for an architect class being more respectable. At the same time, this server is build upon realistic roleplay and lets be honest, we can place most blocks with our bare hands (:lol:). What I would like to properly suggest is that every block that falls under the requirement of Mining/Lumbering skill is brought down to atleast 5-20 (25) levels. The middle ground is that we will not have the 'glowstone' situation, but to meet Vaquxine's good intentions is that players coming into the server will still HAVE to interact to get what they want and this will greatly stunt the plague of guilds that we have many many players just whipping up in a frenzy.

Thank You for Reading.

After much QQ; removed the building limitations -.-

No matter how much "QQ" goes on, Vaq, remember this. We will always <3 you (no homo!).

:grin: :grin: :grin:

I absolutely love the new update to the skills, this will add so much more to the RP and the server as a whole!! Well done vaq well done...you may bow now lol

[jtringl 35]

Vaq, can you remove the messages saying that I failed to gather wood? Its getting really old really quick, and when im cutting wood and chatting, i miss messages...

Other then that, great job!

[jtringl 35]

And personally, I think that you need to increase the drop rate on items such as logs. Im barely getting any back, and Im at level 20 lumberjacking. That seems a bit unfair, especially since in real life when you cut a tree you ALWAYS get a log...

Maybe make the cut time longer and increase the drop rate?

[Trouvo 205]

you dont always get a perfectly cut log, and definitely not as good wood usin a stone axe or less lol

[Grabthar 185]

Love it Vaq... Even the block placing is a step in the right direction. Possible fix could be anyone can place dirt gravel and cobble. But only skilled (mining) characters can place the altered blocks (smooth stone, stacked block, half steps). Anyone can build a dirt/rock pile... but it takes a true master you make it beautiful. Anything to make an Architect profession more viable. :smile:

[Juvens 199]

I agree with Grabthar :)

At what level mining can i expect to start getting coal and iron to actually drop? Tired of just breaking stone.. :(

[Elindor 666]

When the command for realigning your skills is in place, what is to stop players entering a war and putting all their points into swords then changing it back when its over?

And haters gonna hate for the fail to mine/chop wood successfully, but it makes things realistic and gives a purpose to having higher skill levels. Especially seen as chopping logs wouldn't have a benefit otherwise after you can start using iron.

[Jed Goldrush 0]

Well, not to be a hater though, but I don't really like all parts of this update, they include the fact that when you see the diamonds and try to break them, and fail, you lose the ore over all, this would mean that if people fail too much, there wont be enough to get everyone in the system to have it in the economy!

Speaking from the player and economic point of view.

[DarkSoundwave 70]

I had this new system update... I hate complaining but I feel that I have to voice my opinion on this crap.

When I was mining I see 9 diamonds... Mined em all with a diamond pickaxe and level 51 mining. What do I get no diamonds... I see iron I get no iron. I see coal I get no coal... I see stone I GET STONE. I have mined for hours and hours trying to get my levels high enough to mine diamonds and now this crap happens. Honestly I am mad as hell that I cant get any materials for blacksmithing which is what I do. I repair tools for people. When I cant do my job I dont get minas. Please please please fix this issue... Or hell remove the system entirely.
