Also they did this conveniently after adding the missing components back into the game. That were missing due to a “bug” not in any way gating us from end game weapons.
Devs have actively avoided the craft XP discussion in the dev blogs or replies. We would like to see how overall craft level progression has been pre and post nerf
Now have two issues which I have touched on elsewhere: small servers don’t have t5 stations so you can’t craft the top tier stuff which you now need to do if you want to ever reach 200, and even if you do now reach 200 armoring/weaponsmith you can’t find anywhere to craft it even if you have the mats.
I have reached the point again, where i can’t find people for the quests i have. So not much to do. So i guess i will stop playing soon, unless they redo this nerf
It does suck to have to burn through a stack of several hundred infused silk to gain 1.5 points in armoring, and to be charged hundreds of coin in crafting fee tax.
yes my server is filled with bots, and farming is not easy, plus the mats to craft the silk is kind of expensive. once I hit 150, It was more cost effective for me to just buy the silk. I went from armoring 150 to 193 between the mats needed, and the crafting fee. It cost me 22,000ish coins at zero profit.
I really do not want to push any further until I can buy armoring trophies, and sadly on my server, besides the chest and earring, all the armoring gear is thousands a pc, even though the TP is full of them. Nothing armor wise you craft has any value on my server if its not 590+ or has god stats. Yesterday when I looked, the TP had 20 pages of GS 600 items.lol
Crafting is cancer you should not need lower level materials or different resources aka cloth and leathers when your crafting heavy.
I don’t need silver to make gold or gold to make plat… Change my mind
cloth/leather/metal in ALL but light armor makes sense. only thin metal on clothing might be a button or something lol, but Heavy def has it all with padding/straps.
I was already crafting infused leather and silk armors, as i got tired of crafting 20-30 chest armors and barely feel like i progressed. I haven’t crafted a single piece of armor since the nerf
So they punish people for taking their time level, or having a life.
It’s clear that who ever is in charge, is tonedeaf, clueless, don’t have what it takes to lead this game. Is arrogant and lies to the players.
If it was so easy to level, shouldn’t more players have maxed out crafting. But if people say, “oh, x amount have already done it”, then what is the issue with the rest of the players getting to do it. I had plans on eventualy max them all out. That is not going to happen now.
I guess they only look at what the hardcore players do and focus on them. Just look at the changes to watermarking. It will be curious to see if boosters will come next year
They probably try to implement them in time for the christmas holidays.
The whole procedure is so frustrating. In both betas many people suggested to rise the crafting xp so that it is not so easy to get to max in a few days. But like everything else it was totally ignored and deleted out of sight when the game launched.
They waited until all the streamers and nolifers who promoted the game got easily everything to max. And now that the positive promotion is gone they decided to perform the hammer of punishment to everyone else that is still remaining in the hope of milking them with shopitems.
I think they said no p2w the first year/year it was released. So january “sale”?
Great game when only 2 month into it, NW content creators are making “quitting guide”

If they did everything they said we would have a different game altogether. So I’m long over taking anything at face value. In the end those few weeks will not make a difference anyway.

Except they also increased how much exp you need to hit 200
This morning I made test batch of silver jewelry components to see how that particular craft works and got to lv2. Nope. From positive viewpoint I have one craft less to level.
They know. Every patch will be an effort to push people away and ensure this game can shut down in under 6mo.
Longer grind =/= good progression
