Fuck Profession Speed Bombs

I'm pretty sure only Salted can really properly address this and besides it can take a long time to formulate a response that doesn't make you look like a complete idiot. I'd give it a few more days, but if this indeed gets ignored, I'll riot with you.

Maybe I've been desensitised by the Shoutbox thread, who knows.

 

Well it's better if they think about a rational anwser and do not give us any fake hopes. They are aware of the issue, and are probably thinking of a way to fix what players are complaining about. No need to rush, as long as they think about good way to fix professions, making crafted items useful (yeah yeah, new loot ID is awesome, but who cares, leveling up professions to have better chance finding mythics? lmao), and so on.

 

The broken economy is more due to the oversaturation of legendaries, so I don't get how professions really apply.
this was supposed to be a reply to something but

 

Too much of a grind is not a mechanic. @Qzphs

(this quote just didn't include the actual quote since it was just a quote of me... hence the @)

 

I'm making it my duty to make sure this gets bumped whenever it's off the front page. This shit can't be ignored.

 

Thank you for your contribution, soldier.

 

I don't think the grind is too awful, even if it is monotonous its simply another task a player could be doing, say, in-between lootruns or while waiting on friends. Moreso, I feel the issue being that professions are extremely difficult to raise to a level where you can benefit from them. I propose a solution to this issue that preserves the exclusivity of professions while making them more usable while leveling up here: https://forums.wynncraft.com/threads/making-professions-more-accessable-profession-tiers.257090/

 

If you think this is bad, check out this thread.

 

I've just taken a brief look at that and holy shit. If that's how the staff, a more importantly admins, handle player feedback then its riot time.

pls guys jesus christ

also the profession system isn't *that* bad
sure it needs a good bit of fixing but woooow some of you have no idea what you're talking about

and yes there's a bunch of good threads about this and this thread also brings up a bunch of good points but cmon lmfao

 

I agree with you except for one thing. No it really is that bad. It's an awfully designed system. The only thing that has any redeeming qualities is the act of crafting itself. Everything else is shit. The gathering, the crafting useless items to level up, the crafted item durability, the need to use profession bombs, the tools having less of a refining chance over use, the shifting of loot tables in loot chests to favor ingredients over regular items while the other issues still persist, etc. It's like they tried to make everything shit. It's like one of those toilets you find at a McDonald's really.

 

Idk why this is repeated across the thread but this is untrue. It was changed during beta to that the gathering tool will have a 0% refining chance at 0 durability. Gotta stop misinformation in tis thread.

 

I don't really understand why people hate profession so much. If you don't like professions don't do them

 

sure that's fair, I disagree somewhat but yes it could definitely be vastly improved

this was vastly improved and I can play the server for about 15 hours (casually, not doing LI or shit) without having to repair desperately
also you literally just need to go to a blacksmith and store scrap in your bank
I fail to see how this is a problem at all

this is actually my largest problem with professions is the need to use bombs for them
in fact I have a solution:
remove profession speed
nerf t3s needed to make items
give hunted mode +40% loot quality so the loot runners get mad as fuck and people stop targeting profession people

they literally don't omegalul

ingredients exist now
so they're in chests wow wow cool
"favor ingredients over regular items while the other issues still persist"??????
where are you going with this I have no idea what you mean

cool

 

Not sure about that.
I remember reading something about mythic not being affected by the ingredients added in the game that means it’s the same for the rest of the tiers. Though, I’m not sure about it.

From what I understand, loot chests work like this: When you open the chest depending on the tier it will put the loot for x mobs. If you have loot bonus it will increase it and if you have loot quality it will improve the quality.

________________________________

Professions and crafting were requested by a lot of players, now they added them but it wasn’t that good of a concept. It’s alright, but it needs some improvement.

A lot of players actually wants to play professions and crafting but there are certain things that just stop them from doing so (like the image that professions are just grinding and personally it’s because of bank space but I have another account so I’m fine on that part).

That’s why you’ll see a lot of players who didn’t play professions that much criticize it.

 

Beyond the fact that just because something is optional doesn’t make it good or unable to be improved, professions were intended to be widely used by everyone.

It’s not like this is a bad, level 5 fetch quest like Spider Cave was. It spans the entire level range and relies on players trading with each other to overcome its tediousness. 1.18 was called the Economy Update for a reason. Professions were meant to fix the economy, and the fact that most people don’t use them or bypass the grind with bombs shows how broken it is.

 

new spider cave isnt actually that much better than the old one

 

Yeah... idk what else you could really do with the quest besides removing it :-/

 

So because I got one thing wrong it means i don't know what I'm talking about? K fam.

 

Well to be fair, having seen your posts and responses in other threads about professions, I can safely conclude you indeed have no idea what the fuck you are talking about.
