The problem with removing the chestcount from the public API, and why it needs to be returned

100% agree with the first one, strongly disagree with the 2nd. timegating things is the worst thing you can do in a game, I already hate current loot cooldown though I do understand why it exists right now

thanks for your constructive input! this helps alot!

 

the reason cooldown exists is so you dont become a fucking loser lootrunning is not meant to be the only bit of content you are supposed to do in this game.

 

The economy will be shaken up again once the spellbound update comes out. I guarantee that the item team is rebalancing a ton of items in preparation for it.

 

Turns out removing chestcount api was the real 2.0

 

let people play the game how they want to??? lmao

 

While I acknowledge it makes sense to have been started I hate what lootrunning communities and guilds bring to Wynncraft. I'm in full support of making chests client-side and just nerfing LB/LQ that way the API can't really cause any issues for anyone. Maybe extend the cooldowns, who knows. I don't think the solution has to be too complex. As a regular who never relied on bots or any sort of organization and am unable to babysit worlds due to real life responsibilities I wouldn't mind having a longer drystreak if it meant I could lootrun on equal footing during my comparatively scarce free time. Whatever happens I don't believe lootrunning should be left as is while it remains a main source of income. In my opinion it is too difficult for the average player to benefit from. The leaderboard is cool though; I hope to see it return.

 

Half the people in this comment section should not voice their opinion on this. It does not affect them in the slightest and they probably have like 2k chests opened.

I can personally say that the removal of the chest api has been extremely demotivating for me to play the game. I believe that the devs underestimate how much we value our chestcount. To them its just a number, for us its a philosophy/religion.

There is absolutely no downside of making the api update every 12 hours.

 

presumably the downside is "can't be bothered implementing it right now"
hopefully you'll get your chest api back in 1-2 months

 

I can't wait that long!!

 

how many raids have you done in the last month

as someone who has #1 chestcount on assassin, you are being overdramatic. unless you are top ranked in a certain category (a specific class or overall) i promise you nobody gives a shit, and you shouldn’t either. although it might somewhat suck if you did want to go for a top rank and this happened, its not like this is the permanent solution. they just dont give a fuck about such a niche community atm

 

1. This doesnt stop you from lootrunning
2. I don't know why theres a 2 here
