As someone who really enjoys farming and crafting, I’m really concerned that AGS has no plans to adress the scarcity of resources when increasing the server capacity to 2,5k. The availability of some resources was already extremely rough at 2k cap, and with a 25% increase and no changes to the system, farming will be an absolutely miserable experience. New Players will suffer just as much as Veteran Players competing for basic materials.
Not sure what they could do shortterm, but if not adressed soon this is going to cause a huge shitstorm.
Agree. Farming is already a pain as there are way too many people competing for limited resource in a addition to all of us competing with all the bots. I’ve basically stopped crafting because it’s such a pain to farm and having to buy everything is too expensive.
Farming any of top resources is already not possible on servers with 2k population
In fact it seems whole economy was designed to work well with max population around 1.5k
But some top manager made a call to increase capacity to 2k since they had to many copies sold and qs were big on release. And not they keep increasing number while economy was not adjusted. Yea oricalcum ores are nice but its not enught. There are other resources that are not possible to gather now.
It already happened, farming certain resources is either straight up impossible now or you can only farm at extreme offtimes at like 4 in the morning. AGS really needs to do so something as soon as possible if they want a stable economy and a happy playerbase going into the brimstone update.
I’d like to see individually instanced T4/T5 resource nodes with a maybe a 8-12 hour CD so you could get them a couple times a day if you wanted to. Seems like this would solve a few different problems. Just adding more nodes and/or decreasing the respawn time is only going to benefit campers and bots.
