Not much. Since about a week ago I got random lag spikes and no matter what I do, it wont resolve itself. So using System Restore, to before the lag spikes happened to see if it resolves the issues.
Other than that, there isn’t much to do in game post level 60, at this time. OPR rarely gets enough people, no invasions/wars and no expeditions. Game feels a bit stale at off peak hours.
Pushing for war (war, huh! What is it good for? Well, a little PVP), running some orbs and working on my build this week. Fishing is something I tend to just “work on” when I pass a 3 star, it’s a nice time to relax for 10-20 catches
I’ve gone a bit nuts and switched from a 300/150 dex build and medium armour to a full 400+ dex with light, just to see how much damage I can do. And I can do a lot of damage! But I’m squishy.
Sorry, I actually answered the OP’s questions and didn’t see this as a complaints thread (shame others didn’t use this as a chance to… you know, be a bit human and talk to an AGS employee for a bit).
1st thing I leveled to 200 was fishing. In the same day I hit 200 fishing you killed this trading skill by removing coins. Fishing wasn’t touched since then.
Maybe it is time for some fishing buffs so it would be a profitable trading skill? But it would require successful dealing with bots which is probably too difficult for this small company.
While I do very much appreciate you making this post, and trying to keep tabs on us… If you really want to know what I’m working on in-game… well I was working on trying to increase my crafting because you know… I’m at level 60 and would like to start making my own gear… sadly… due to the latest patch… you guys essentially made it a lot harder to progress in crafting. It’s become way too tedious, and quite… boresome.
There is pretty much nothing that an endgame player can do in this game at the moment besides doing elite chest runs… (most of the time we get crap instead of useful items), portal runs and that’s about it… unless if you want to pay 2.5k for dungeon runs… Why do we have to farm for hours to craft an orb to enjoy a dungeon? I want to do dungeons, but I refuse to pay because I don’t make much money in the game.
Oh and I pretty much went back to playing ESO again. At least I can craft my own gear and participate in dungeons (Surprise surprise… NO ORBS!) without much of a hassle. I can also do trials as well… both normal and vet without having to farm for stupid orbs in ESO.
If I want to go do some pvp… I don’t have to rely on kissing some companies ass just to be selected for war… All I need to do is go to Cyrodill, and start pvp’ing.
I would LOVE too hear from @Shadow_Fox in which parallel reality people enjoy the “challenge” of crafting tuning orbs. It’s a dull farm without any kind of dificult, it’s just boring and the time investment just don’t seems to pay off.
Please tell us where are these orb-adoring players, we’re curious to know.
People who like them, probably don’t like the grind to get them?
Runestones have a CD, Molten Runes have a CD, Corrupted Runes have a CD, and then you need to grind so many portals.
I don’t think people would mind if these were organic activities that you did as other parts of the game and you got rewards, but you just really need to go “have I done Mangled yet? No? Better go spend an hour before I can do something enjoyable. Oh, crap, I need to do another 2hrs of portals each day.”
Unless we see some internal metrics (which you don’t have to share, don’t feel obliged) it’s hard to believe that people enjoy grinding 14hrs per week just to do 2hrs of enjoyable activities.
Positive: putting mutator orb in faction shop is incredible decision. Faction tokens are rewarded from a range of activities. Next step is to change cooldowns to be amount of orbs you can acquire in a week, so if players want to get 2x from faction shop instead of 1x faction and 1x crafting, they have that option. Or add them to an OPR rewards shop!
Explain this, Please? Instead of fishing… try grinding for materials to craft end gaming orbs. I would like to see a LIVE stream of you guys doing exactly that, and not charging regular players to do dungeons.
Agent shadow fox on a mission called damage control and communication with the community .
Lindsey is the live report ready ?
It sure is Chuck : as we can see here Chuck after the brave attempt of special agent shadow fox last night , people that had lit torches are now duel wielding them , while some are pouring gasoline on themselves and screaming WITNESS MEEE ! .
Lindsey what about those people in the corner?
Yes Chuck those are called simps , they are mostly harmless.
That is all for tonight Chuck . Join us again tomorrow for more reports from the scene.
I wanna believe you, but calling that BS as well, link any vid, any post anything of people talking about orbs in a good way, sure some crafters make money with it.
But the community obviously sees orbs as the number one problem right now.
And if it really was such a none issue, why would the devs even mention it in their video, specifically saying they want to reduce it, I mean if its such a none issue.
Can you show me your scientific survey you conducted of the player base that proves your point? Or are you relying on your confirmation bias for that information?
