New update on transmuter's mana usage and rune recycler

[Mariel]

With the latest update came with higher mana usage for the transmuters, I can definitely feel the difference.

What I was not expecting was the rune recyler new ratio. I have not tried with different items but I use wood to recycle. Previously it would take 1 wood and give 1 rune. Now it takes 5 wood and give 1 rune.

So with the new update they made it much more harder to maintain mana gens. I would probably need to add more gens to compensate but at the expense of fps lag because of the connection lines.

With the rune recycler, I suppose this is their way of getting you to go back out and extract again.
Hopefully soon enough I get a system running that supplies enough to meet my demands.

What are your opinions on this?

I feel a tad bit sad that now its harder to maintain my system but at the same time, this give back challenge in building.

it was needed cant check it my self for a few but i geuss you just go out and collect crystals

[Paul Spring]

its good.... the game is too easy they also need to make the ai a lot more tougher as at the moment the game is not a challenge and this is why many people got to lv 60 very quickly

[Mariel]

Yeah, ai so far is really easy to get around and trick into tight spots

I don't like it, it made the transmuters and rune recycler useless, maybe its because i play on a pvp server, or maybe it is because i dont want to go out and hold down the right mouse button. I think they could of spent time on something more important for sure, lots of bugs to fix. They could of at least kept the recycler the same.

I've been working at it for a few hours now and I dont like it either. It used to feel like a reward for high lvl players having their own resource instead of extracting. Now it feels really expensive plus setting up a ton of generators to a few transmuters is just lagging me out like crazy. First time I dont feel like playing to be honest. But Im just gonna take a break and get back to it tomorrow

[Davakar]

Managing the generators is now way to much of a hassle now and the amount of runes it takes down to generate anything is excessive. Now its back to low level stuff running around using the extract spell when I could be out adventuring.

I like this game because at high level it took the grind out of basic things before the patch. You felt rewarded. I didn't have to extract, extract, extract anymore. Left time to do other things like hunt mobs for items or hunt players, then come back when transmuters were full and do some more building. This just makes things more grindy and doesn't have any value add in my opinion. They swung the bat a bit too much on this on IMO.

[Marche]

I agree the transmuters and recycler needed a nerf, but I think they went a little too far. The cost to maintain them is too high now. It easier to just go out and farm myself, which in turn makes three items useless. The wood transmuter, stone transmuter and rune recycler. I am not sure when a 5x increase has ever been the solution. Not to mention the current bug with stuff ceasing to work after running out of mana.

[Vivaldi]

It made sence for pvp servers for high level players to be able to rebuild... like that spell that turns people red they just run through bases.... cmon devs ur gonna loose your player base adding more grind... like if you wanted a game where we grind just have us hit a rock, just call it hit a rock while u ride a broom....

[Darious]

I always saw the rune recycler as a place to put trash, not a means to stop harvesting, so it seems fine to me.

[Vivaldi]

I can deal with the transmuters being crappier but making the rune recycler crappier made 3 in game objects useless and makes me sit holding down a right mouse button.

DEAR DENIS,

HOLDING DOWN THE RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON IS NOT FUN.

[ModMonk3y]

Things need to change atm its kinda nerfed too hard.....

[Mariel]

I agree, as mentioned above it felt like a reward finally hitting high levels and you dont need to constantly extract, you can do other stuff instead. And with me and my friend focusing on building right now, we're at a stop as the production doesnt meet our needs. An hour of gather just vanishes in building big structures.

[Superguru]

Was one of the last fun things at high level to build big structures without the need to grind basic materials for hours. Together with the bad filling mechanic of generators this is way too tedious now. Game starts to feel like one of those grind MMOs.

Suggestion: Exclude wood and stone from rune recycling and bring rates closer to previous ones. That way no endless resource multiplication is possible.

i used to look forward to logging in and building.. now i log in and have to replace all my stone transmuters and grind for rune/stone.. thats not building.. its the suck.. taking a hiatus
