I’ll be submitting regular feedback for potential changes I’d personally recommend. I lead the community for the Marauders on the Perseus server that has over 450 members.
Ideally all town boards, quests, side quests and others should give boosted gold as a replacement for exp. Town board missions are crucial for upgrades but at 60 no one wants to do them and there is no reward other than standing. This need altering ASAP for the games health, eventually all towns will have downgraded workbenches and a bunch of players that quit as the only thing we want them doing is town board missions.
I’d also recommend adding a shop to sell junk to that offers a reasonable price for gear, materials and weapons as the market is at 0.01 gold coin for almost everything. We are also a server that opened later on. Eventually there will be too much of every resource due to people finishing their crafting levelling and everyone will stop buying. It will be 0.01 for every item unless base values are set by amazon in the form of a shop.
There is a lot of other changes I’d recommend but currently the economy is the most important so that the game doesn’t die or suffer from people making no money and having to just mob grind every day to pay house taxes…
I dont think, that we need a NPC that will buy everything… I like, that we dont have this in NW.
I agree on your idea to add more gold to town board quests after max level. I think, it would be reasonable to replace more sources of exp with gold.
=> If we do quests with lvl 60, the gold part in the rewards should increase (town quests and normal quests)
==> That might motivate the ppl to go into the high level instances. Atm the best way to increase your gear score is farming elite areas… The endgame instances are pretty dead (at least on my server)…
I disagree. There are plenty of ways to generate gold in the game. Take up a faction quest, kill some mobs, turn in town boards and recycle tier 5 gear. in a level 50-60 zone. You’ll likely get a couple hundred gold profit every so often. My faction missions give 25 gold each, I get 14+ gold from monster kills, and recycling t5 gear gives 3 gold each.
Additionally, participate in invasions and wars. That’s another easy 600-700 gold profit. Go sell some charcoal, star metal, steel ingots, lumber, layered leather, cut brilliant gems and I promise you will be able to make 2k profit in an hour if you are efficient.
