new progression

[gerald2]

now all your actions fill one of your XP pools: crafting, combat or minor. This means that, in order to progress any of your crafting skills, you’re no longer required to perform the abilities of this skill, but can simply do any crafting activity and get XP from these activities.....tragism...so now you can all your life chop trees,then.....put ur points into smithing and ure master blacksmith*facepalm* wonderfull idea.

How does this translate to combat? Can I punch a donkey for eight hours and become a master bowman? Would sure safe time on collecting stones or making arrows and targets.

Yes, basically. You can just stand there wearing armour and let someone hit you for a few hours and then translate those exp points into becoming a master archer, knight, swordsman... whatever. Even though you, yourself, have never even picked up a weapon or swung it in anger. Its a bit ridiculous.

So much for the "hardcore and realistic" tag they were going for.

Well...originally I trained my arching by running after animals and shooting them. Especially after I learned taming this became intersting, because I could run around for days and train archer and come back home on a horse ^^

However, I soon found out that my friend with the autoclicker and 300 stones in his inventory made ten times the XP by standing in front of a target and letting it click. That system felt pretty stupid too.

It wasn't a skill-based-grind, he didn't have to track animals and climb mountains. He didn't even have to leave the base. And basically later on we all played together by autoclicker and we all made the same progress, depending on how much we were online.

So now it might just be down to autoclicker on everything. While I think it should be more of a learning progress. I don'tr know how to fix this. I'd prefer to learn to track and shoot better and find and hunt harder prey and level up hunting based on what you hunted. It seems more of a challenge that way and times would still be cut down on learning a skill. A high level hunter could be someone who went to different regions and hunted more types of prey.

You are right there are different ways to skill up more or less fast (some of them are forbidden) but it's same with every skill. You can craft different things which give you different amount of skillpunkte. But at least you do something which makes sense to increase this skill.
The new system is completely fail cause you can do what ever you want to level for example Smithing.

That's not any different than what we have right now, which is "Autoclicker: The Game"

The difference is that, like with the crafting skills, it won't matter what armour you wear. You will be able to wear t1 padded armour and use it to level up your Lancer skill, or your Ranger skill.

Okay....I totally get the arguement. So for the vets here....how do you entice new people to play this game? By the low numbers.....not a lot of people wanted to play this in the first place, and I can almost guarantee much was due to the skill leveling system..so the old system isnt the right answer either? What's the best answer?

my answer is : offline skillgain -yes ,skillpoints gained by doing anything ,and possible to put in any other skill -no.

It should be an amalgamation of both xp and doing said activity increases skill. I think that may be what it is. Example so you have an xp pool you can be increasing say farming with that but doing a different skill like cooking so you are getting xp filling xp bar which slowly raises farming but also increasing cooking because you are doing that. Its also so you can log and still be leveling from what xp you gathered while playing. Who knows though we shall see

[Skydron]

They told us higher tier skills will increase xp pool faster .. maybe you need to do your profession cause all other will give u much to less xp to have a full xp pool.
Example:
- Full xp pool will take 24 hour to get empty (converted to skill points)
- with less then 30 skilled points you need 100 xp to fill your pool, with 30-60 spend skill points its 1000, etc.
- t1 profession give u 0.1 xp
- t2 profession give u 1 xp
Etc.

So you need to do the profession you skilled in (t2) to get (fast) enough points for your pool to keep it up 24 hours.
