i feel luck on every aspect mining, skinning etc was downgraded without them telling us or that it was another amazons mistake developing the new patch, i think this is unacceptable, why amazon punishes honest players and people who dupped are still in server trating everyone else like trash ? i spend hours skinning, mining and harvesting and after runs of like 2k resources i got minimum legendary resources, i have full sets 3 houses with thropies tools and food with luck and feels so frustrating that amazon punishes us with so stupid mechanics and that duppers are still unpunished and running rampant around server acting like everyone else is trash because they have all voidvent and legit players cant fucking get the resources after spending so much work, im starting to feel like i dont like the game sometimes
Are you missing the right tools?
Increased amount of ressources gathered?
no im not, im using full gathering luck sets + 2000 luck food + 3 thropies + gathering luck tools, the only thing i never use is amulet cause people saying it gives negative luck
It’s almost like random chance is… random.
Luck gear only increases the chance. It doesn’t make it a guaranteed flat drop rate.
i dont think thats what OP is saying. amazon actually has notoriously been stealth nerfing/buffing the most random things and they dont patch note it (for example) they completely reintroduced scaling earlier during new world release without saying a word
theres a chance a dev randomly didnt like how easy it is to get orange leather and saw youtube video of how easy the boar farm spot is and nerfed it im not sure, it wouldnt surprise me. devs need to learn how to patch note 100% of the things they do
i understand that dude but really 5 hides after almost 2.5k iron hides? with 2000 luck food + set + thropies+ tool ? thats trash
looks more like an unhappy farm session to me. Not enough for me as proof of a nerf. I have had similar sessions.
Yeah, resource gather rates have been nerfed since patch one as well. Of course that’s not in the notes, but when things go from 30-40 down to 9-12 it’s a bit noticeable. Since pre patch one it hasn’t even mattered about my gear, food, or trophies in regards to mining either. . .and I’m at the point where I don’t have the motivation to go mine/farm for 6+ hours to get one thing to possibly drop.
No disagreement here!
of course im unhappy dude, i spent hours every day farming and since last patch this happens a lot, how im not gonna be unhappy when i try to work hard to legit get my stuff and i cant cause theres something odd in luck now ? im not the only one saying it, theres a lot of posts about this topic but for mining, you just have to look the forum
i know that feel, im really starting to lose the motivation on everything in the game, feels bad cause i loved it, now there are sometimes when i just want to close it cause i feel frustrated with dupping, luck not working, xploits etc
Yep, I know the feeling of apathy creeping into this game. I might be wrong, but I could have swore crafting was different in the closed beta as well, at certain levels allowing 2 or more mods to be used so you could actually customize crafted gear. . .it certainly is not the case now.
thats another thing, youre not mistaken, you could use 2 perks in weaps and armor in beta, now im sitting at armorsmithing 200 + armorsmith set + armorsmith soup and using runic leather + phoenixweave + asmodeum for crafts and getting ramdom trash perk or stat combinattions aside from the only one i can pick, i think this was made with the very sick intention to keep you gathering like crazy and of course in game a lot of time but with a very low chance to get what you want, another very desmotivating stuff after working so hard to get those 4 proffessions to 200
Well, all my gathering is 200, save fishing, still 150 there. All my refining is 200, save weaving, still 145 ish there. All my crafting one are from 120 to 180 ish. The absurd amount of resources I’ve had to gather, buy, use, etc. are positively mind boggling. And, what is all that effort for? For a chance when making 50 + items to rng out to something maybe decent.
i know, so much work and so much time spent, and after you got to what was supposed to be the goal you find out you have to work even more to get something not even good but “decent” 
man, idk, I only have 2 basic skinning luck trophies, T1 food, skinning luck necklace and a blue skinner set w/ ori skinning knife and luck. ended up with 96 smolderhide and 104 scarhide from boars in edengrove. took roughly an hour. RNG is a bitch sometimes.
been a bitch with me for several days now, maybe im wrong but theres something odd in luck and im feeling very desmotivated right now but with the feeling i worked so hard and invested so much time that i feel bad if i just throw it to the trash and stop playing, dont even know how i feel about the game at this point
Sorry, ever heard of statistics, sample size and distribution? Law of large numbers?
People often say RNG is RNG or small sample size etc, but I think it’s worth noting that if you’re adding a luck/MF style mechanic to a game, it should be noticeable as a single individual, even with your small sample size. If you need a massive recorded sample size to notice a minor statistical impact, the stat shouldn’t exist at all. Every perk on gear should make some perceptible difference to your play experience.
If you’re going to encourage everyone to go out of their way to create multiple gear sets just for gathering and add consumable buffs to every form of gathering, they should have a significant noticeable impact that doesn’t leave masses of people in doubt of whether anything is even happening at all.
They have overcomplicated their own game, so don’t expect them to know all impact a change might have. It’s just the sad reality.
Remember when they explained to us that 600 GS gear can drop after several complaints. Just to afterwards release a patch that fixes the broken drops. Lol.
