World Complaint About The Patch

So as many of you already know, mob totems have been patched... This is very unfortunate for the community and in my opinion, a terrible idea on part of the staff.

As it says in the update:

-Mob totems now require you to participate in the mob massacre to share the XP and are very slightly nerfed.

First of all you may ask yourself "What does 'participate' even mean?" Well, it has been tested and confirmed by many players that you need to "hit the mob within 8 seconds" in order to receive the XP from the Purple Particle Mob. Not only does this defeat the purpose of Purple Particle Mobs giving ALL XP within the group, it also gives off a selfish vibe. In other words, this defeats the point of grouping up in gigantic parties and getting XP because gigantic parties means that those Purple Particle Mobs are going to die in less than 8 seconds for you to even get a chance to hit it. Even one person can do enough damage to kill a mob with one Spell so another player wont even be able to hit it. Now people are going to start "claiming" servers for themselves and bring back the selfish vibe for their own benefits.

Oh and the fact that they "slightly nerfed" mob totems kind of rubs knife in the wound a little more. Go ahead and put in your votes and also comment what you think should be done about this current crisis that is going to dawn upon Wynncraft.

 

8 seconds is hardly a problem unless you're in a stupidly massive party.

 

Solo grinding is gonna come back & the community will be split again and arguing over frickin grind servers >.>


EDIT: Here is an example, the group once had 20+ players and now has none

 

Yea. A lot of grinders I know will 1shot any mob in the area where they grind. this means that whoever attacks the mob 1st is the only one that gets the xp. effectively making them worthless for partys. if only there was a reliable way to detect afk players and remove there xp, like you must kill 1 totem mob per totem before you receive any xp

This would also stop players as low as lv 63 to show up to totem party to ez grind it out

 

I think the word you are looking for is "salt."

 

I have never farmed in a group since 2015

 

I've made some good friends at these grinding parties and I thought the server was all about bringing people together and making friends, that sight seems to have been lost by this update. now this is going to bring back selfish solo grinding like before. and getting told to F*** off I was here first... this isn't why I come on here.

I am also a bit miffed I've spent a bit of money on hero rank and xp bombs so I could share with my friends... kinda wasted my money

 

though, this belongs in feedback, so @Pretzule /move plx

 

Couldn't said it better. This will most definitely change the aspect of the community if this isn't resolved soon.

 

To be honest, I would rather halve totem power then this....


the new grinding. everyone uses an AOE with depressing then 1 person kills all the mobs


Or everybody just melee kills

 

I haven't played Wynn since the store updated due to highschool and such things so can anyone educate me on the mechanics of totems post and pre update? Cause what I'm getting at is pre update you would just stand still in the totem radius and gain xp and removing that seems pretty fair to me, so if anyone can give me a simple explanation it would be appreciated.

 

The way it actually works is that after you hit ANY purple particle mob, you get XP from all the kills for the next 8 seconds. As long as you're hitting something, you still get all the XP. This means AFK grinding no longer works, but anyone actually doing something should still be able to get XP.

 

I can completely agree on the player interaction part. Wynncraft has always had next to none player interactions apart from detlas server 1, while this is a big aspect of MMORPGs. However i do not think it should be prioritized over broken grinding. The point in every MMORPG is to work and earn your high leveled characters. It should not be the case where you can level up from level 80-100 without doing anything. Its not only dumb but in my opinion also not respectful for the people that spent hours upon hours making content for us to enjoy, yet we just ignore it and afk to reach level 100. Because reaching level 100 is all what matters, right?...

 

any purple, or any mob in the area?

 

What a idea to make the community more selfish. I admit that the afk farming was a problem that had to be solved. But its way too much, you basically killed the farming raid system. Now everyone will farm alone and they will flame you if you try to kill a single of "their mobs".

 

Funny how this happens after a bunch of people buy ranks for the totems.....

 

If thats the way it works then it´s PERFECT. I didnt try it yet thought..

 

that's what they want, oh you spent money on us? Fk yeh let's nerf

 

Purple, but most of the mobs in the area are probably going to be totem mobs.

 

then to be honest. this is exactly what we need
