Media About Complaints

It's been a day since Gavel and already I've seen a ton of hate threads. And I'm really tired of saying the same thing over and over, and I just want to say this in a thread instead of a reply. Chances are more people will see it this way.

So many people are pissed about Gavel. Maybe their items are bad now, maybe they lost their items because they had too little space in their inventory, maybe they had a crappy set because they have no idea how to use the new item system. Well, here's what I'd say.

I don't see why people are so pissed. Maybe it's just that they don't understand how it works, that weapons and armor work differently. I've seen people still trying to get both the strongest weapon and the strongest armor. Everyone complaining about the reinstatement of fall damage is just a lazy person who wants the easy way out and isn't used to difficulty. But these people don't understand something, and that's this:
Wynncraft is not what it used to be.
It seems obvious, right? But a remarkably large amount of people don't understand that. They think it's the same old easy game. To quote something I said a while ago...
Oooh boy, I love fall damage. It makes the game harder. It makes it more challenging. I also love that nature damage is getting reinstated too; It was weird and unrealistic to take no lava or drowning damage after level 30. Archer feather falling now has a point; People may start wanting Feather Falling back; Wynncraft is gonna be a lot harder. Some of us will have a bad time. But I think that we'll take the challenge in stride. Frankly, I like the sound of being stuck on a cliffside with a pair of Orcs that are actually flanking you from the sides. I mean, seriously? How cool is that? No way out; You actually feel scared, like "oh shit i might die here" instead of just saying "No dealio, I'll just jump off". I absolutely love it and totally support it every step of the way.
What I'm saying above is that it's not the same old easy game. We're gonna have to adjust. It's become harder. It's become more challenging. And because of this, it's become more epic. More of a game. No longer the light, easygoing playstyle. It's time to get serious. The developers really have. They've gone far this time. Really far. And we have to catch up to them.
On top of that, the developers, all the admins, GMs, and Builders worked so incredibly hard on this to make the most game-changing update ever. They worked on it for over a year. And what kind of answer do they get to all their hard work? Complaints. Threads upon threads of complaints. I'd hate that. And I'm sure they do. So please keep your opinions to yourself! That's all I ask!

So that's what I have to say on the topic of Gavel complaints.

Like I said, most powerful armor isn't an importance anymore unless you're planning on tanking. I'm saying that you just gotta accept the change, go with the flow, it's not gonna do much to flat-out complain about it. They've worked hard on this; A year of constant work. This is not how to thank them. At least give them a break for a month or so; It's only been a day! It's a hard time; But we can adjust, we'll pull through.

 

#respect .

 

I don't care that you cant tank, I just don't like being forced to upgrade skill points that I don't want to upgrade to be able to wear armor

 

I'm really happy that somebody made a thread about it and Wynncraft feels more like an MMO RPG now.

 

Hey I really respect that crazy amount of hard work everyone's done, and I'm sure it'll pay off. Wynncraft is still amazing, but it's very different. It's great, but it's just not something I want to play anymore. Just understand that not everyone who decides to log off for the last time absolutely hates the new image and wants to bash it. I understand that it's harder, but it's just too different for some of us. (This NOT asking for change)

 

That's not how it works anymore. Now you have to work with the playstyle you use, not the armor you want. It's about you now, not the armor.

 

Well the problem with that strategy is that skill points do a lot more than they used to, so skill point builds that were once good may not suit you at all now. Maybe you didn't like those particular skill points before the update, but they could be a lot more useful now.
EDIT: Ninja'd by @The One-eyed Guy

 

that is already in place, without being added to the armor requirements

Rip, no TL;DR

 

TL;DR: You have nothing to complain about.

 

At the end of the day the game requires actual SKILL now instead of spamming Arrow Storm, Multihit, Meteor, etc..
The most complaints I have seen is that people are unable to kill things in ONE HIT! I mean really, come on, do you even actual RPG's.
Anyway, a lot of things you actually CAN kill in one hit if they are weak against the element you are using. (Ex. My Assassin is able to One Hit Kill some mobs that are weak to Thunder when I use Chakram + Multihit or Spin Attack.)

 

You are not alone in feeling this way. I won't repost my feelings about this, I'll just leave this, here, and say that I've seen several threads addressing this. My thread is my feelings and observations about Gavel, and why I believe that so many people are complaining. My ONLY "complaint" is that I can't do parkour very well, for anything, due to my eyesight, so, getting through parkour on the earlier quests, with lava all over the place, is FRUSTRATING. However, that is MY physical limitation, and not a problem with the Gavel update, as long as it doesn't overly frustrate new players. Still, I agree with you, The One-eyed Guy, thousands of times more than I disagree through my caveat.

Please read my linked post, above. Salted made it clear that this is an entirely new game, and that it would be best to start a new character. If you chose to not do so, then you run up against the fact that the game mechanics, and items, have changed. I took that into consideration when I decided to start a new character. I will use what I learn to probably salvage some of my other characters, as 6 of them are at Lv75, HOWEVER, I want to play through all of the quests as each class. That was a blast the first time, I'm betting Gavel makes it even more fun.

Peace

 

In all honesty, Wynncraft is much easier. At least for me. Using ALL of the elements as a build makes arrow storm deal 120 damage per arrow. Firing 60 arrows makes it 7200 damage if they all hit a single target. It just depends on your build, some builds can be overpowered, some can suck horribly.

 

your reply has no context to the question you replied to

 

He's saying that it's gonna be hard to adjust and to help you understand better you should try starting over.

 

that has no context to what I said

 

To clarify what I said, the Gavel update makes Wynncraft a new game, based on the changes in game mechanics. No one expects anyone to have something that they couldn't possibly have, such as "better leggings at the start of the update". That's ridiculous. Because you do not know what build to make, it is possible that your armor, at Lv75, from the older Wynncraft mechanics, and your skill points, set up by you based upon the older Wynncraft mechanics, will not work in the Gavel update. Some people got it to work, some people didn't. Salted's advice was to start over; it's a new game. If you didn't, that was your choice.
Peace
