ski_king3 0 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Not to rain on anybody's parade, but could you perhaps tell the community about the professions plugin before you do away with the skill system? I think we'd like to know our alternative before we commit to one or the other. Maybe you guys could have 24-hour polls before making changes like these in the future, just to make sure the majority of the community supports? Just food for thought. That being said, I'm glad progress is being made. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ek_knight 21 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Well, I do hope the community won't abuse the current lack of any sort of plugin. I can't wait to here about this new profession plugin, but I am just a little worried about the abuses that could occur with no system in place.

Kalro 3 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Here is what I think right now: taking out the skills system means anyone can fight against highly trained warriors and win. Instead I think you should give everyone 300 skill credits and keep the skill system until the new system comes out. I'm all for a new system though but please for the love of god ASK US on what we want. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead I think you should give everyone 300 skill credits and keep the skill system until the new system comes out. It's called role-play, not PvP. In role-play a simple farmer couldn't fight effectively against a highly trained warrior. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seventh / Ryan 93 Share Posted October 1, 2012 My faith in Lotc has been restored. I was disheartened after Availer left again, but having a fresh tech team that knows what they're doing, understands roleplay and don't let their own desires interfere with their work is fantastic. Super excited. Oh, your faith in us? Hahaha, you mean when you attacked the server and staff on seperate forums? Yeah, I recall, I'm glad it's been restored, though. Back to the Skill System, by profession system, we mean you won't need to grind your way to 100 swords, your professions should expand along your character. --Seventh 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiftnative 3103 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 The main reasoning behind the removal of the skills plugin is the resources required to run it - every strike and craft pings the server with a request due to gaining experience, our current box is meant to deal with "experience gain" but is far too costly - The profession system will not have rigorous leveling and we're switching hosts soon ~ I assure you that variables involving the profession system will be voiced among the community when that time has come :ugeek: !

Wizard 125 Share Posted October 1, 2012 So, the skills system is completely gone right now? New players are going to have to learn what it means to role-play without something holding you back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiftnative 3103 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 So, the skills system is completely gone right now? New players are going to have to learn what it means to role-play without something holding you back. And some older players are going to need to remember to be patient and assist in newer players immersion and understanding of the server and its goals toward RP :> Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
