This gypsum and expertise system should have been in the game from the start, but that’s irrelevant at this point.
I’m pretty forgiving and would love for NW to succeed; but as someone who has never played a game with timegated content, this crap sucks. I hit 200 in 3 refining skills recently and each legendary MAT I need to craft is like 2-3 hours between the cooldowns.
Add another cool down for collecting the trees (diamond gypsum) and that useless stupid topaz gypsum potion which is a fucking joke in and of itself, and lastly the elite chest cooldown and the whole game is a cooldown…
So much so you only bother to hop on every 2, maybe 3-4 days to get them all done at the same time. I don’t understand why timegating everything is their idea but realistically the only 3 things that should be on a GLOBAL or server-specific cooldown is crafting dungeon orbs, your choice of your expertise bump, and elite chests.
The rest is unnecessary and I believe the more added content to be put behind crappy timegated systems the more players they loose. Eventually people won’t log on because it’s less rewarding for even more of a grind.
Sorry had to rant
