The Ecko Statue

[Serendipity]

Is ridiculously OP. Nerf it, remove it, or make it accessible by multiple people. I had a mostly furnished house and was getting outskilled by a person with that statue and 4 rooms with a brazier each. That's ridiculous.

You have to find it first. Or be the first one to enter the console command to locate it. So ya, prolly best to remove it from the game imo.

Hmmmm, I wasn't aware that "skilling" was a competition.

[Serendipity]

Balance is the issue.

[Moontsu]

Yes, I know ;) I was referring to how the OP wrote about someone "outskilling" him...thus my comment :)

[Not Sure]

At first 100 points might look OP, but you have to have a high tier room to not loose most of it's value due to soft capping.
And what do you mean by "a mostly furnished house"?

[Serendipity]

4 rooms, padded chairs, tables, rugs, multiple room specific items, and getting less skill points than 4 rooms with braziers. We both had t1 houses, because it was a new server, literally day 1.

Even with the room reduction, that statue gives 20 points right off the bat. And late game, 100 points more than literally everyone else is still a whole helluva lot. Even if it only gave 20, it would be twice as good as bison mounts which would give you a nice boost, without being ridiculous. Having the statue in an empty room is better than a t1 house. That's not balanced.

Also, you couldn't pay me to believe they legitimately "found" it on the first day.

If you know how to look for it it is easy to find. There are bugs in the game that the devs still haven't fixed and these have become exploits. It's like I have said many times, Eco is a competitive game whether players realize it or not, and this is a big factor for the loss of players.

We have no plans to remove or change our easter egg, but server admins are free to remove the eco statue - or give it to the world leader, as i do on my personal server so the WL can focus on his work - for example. That's something the servers can handle as part of their concept.

....What i want to know... is when you look at the item coding..... it looks as if the statue can ask for things.... and give you somthing if you bring said demanded item.... but i cant figure out how / what triggers it...

[N3rocell]

....or..... is there a 2nd dolphin item i havent seen spoken of...

[SLG-Dennis]

I won't answer that, as that is a secret ;)
