It's just entitlement, people treat this like a released game because they spend every day playing it competitively with their guildies

soooo, you come here often Flick

please ask them WHY the team always decides to buff/nerf stuff to astronomical values instead of small %

this has been happening for a very long time its either Mules are the most profitable 200g a day worth doing or it gets nerfed to the point nobody is gonna bother doing it

The mindset of this is worrying. Shows disconnect. Also shows willingness to repeat mistakes we made JUST LAST WIPE / phase 3 with gear drop changes that were implemented after many had already benefited.
You don’t make changes like these mid-phase and expect players to be happy.
It further widens the gap so people can’t catch up
I will say I’m glad these developers are willing to change decisions with feedback … or outrage

I think they did good releasing the fix pre weekend rush… cuz allot of folks were getting nailed with elixers off.. they even thought the change was valid. They received feedback and changed their minds. I dont fault them except maybe asking the community here ‘proposed change?’ … did they post it to the $2500 kickstarters for feedback?

Just inventories, leave the levels alone. It won’t cure the botting issue, but it will put a dent in the inventories they had built up and reduce the longevity of some of their accounts since they’ll retain the adventure XP they gained gathering/crafting.

It also removes gains made in bad faith and prevents a scenario of “pre/post patch” gear being the meta.

This 100%. All of us are more than happy to see balancing changes for new phases. You just cannot do them mid-phase and expect to see anything but a dead phase. This does not give you good data whatsoever. Fix exploits, and leave phases to run as they will without major changes to economy. Only then you can get good data on how progression feels and whether you need to buff or nerf certain things the next phase.

It was too big of a difference. Going from mid 1700s down to mid 1200s quality.
Also it was heavily unfair to those who hadn't yet crafted really good gear.

Buddy, that is EXACTLY the point of quality. It isn't even out of balance. To roll a minimum power legendary on something that takes 3 items, you need very high quality rating AND even that only lets you lower 1 of the 3 items to an Epic.

With the current rate of legendary drops, if you cannot do this with high/maxed out quality, then you will almost NEVER create a single legendary item.

i think the biggest issue is the accessability to report functions for the on going issues. and the lack of appropriate actions and relative responses. EI people constantly told to report via website. going way out of the wait to put in all info manually which may nore grasp the whole picture or appropriate data. and then having no actions takin even tho multiple reports go in.

@lost drift pretty much the only issue is the timing of the quality nerfs....not the actual nerf itself. The priority system of what gets handled when; this has been the excuse on why certain things haven't been fixed. So, everyone is really wondering why the quality nerf was such a priority now when there's things like mounts not deflagging, crates being stolen where the owner has no chance of getting it back without corrupting.....why is this not prio versus a quality rating nerf mid phase?
All this change does is make it harder for the stragglers to compete currently.....everyone else who's on the cutting edge has crafted most of their top ed gear already.

Serious question, what was the rationale for changing quality rating on food mid phase?

It creates a disparity for players. In my mind, changes like this are something to be done in preparation for the next phase or extremely early in a phase. Changes like fixing Harbinger, vendor pricing for consumables, and things that enable players would be more the focus for mid-phase changes, no? Things that improve the quality of life of the player rather than hinder.

Not a troll or bait question. Sincerly curious as to the rationale for this change.

With love and support (as always),
Leukael

There is definitely imbalance between Food/Elixirs/Buffs comparatively to Clothing if this change was somehow related to that.
I'm sure the player base would prefer buffing clothes instead of a nerf to non-clothes bonuses.

Rating is already very little value in gathering/processing, nerfing makes this feel even worse. A clothing buff would go towards fixing both these.
In regards to how it affects crafting... Epic+ items are still too easily obtained for how heavy they are weighted in the crafting system, nerf this instead.

In my humble opinion, it shouldn’t be reverted now that it’s already been implemented—just a bit more care should be taken when applying this kind of change in the future. Now that it’s in, leave it as it is, after all, it’s the right direction.

@vague leaf it has been suggested by your team that we should be cautious who we trade with, as receiving RMT gold can lead to our account being actioned.

What is a safe amount of RMT gold to recieve in a legitimate trade? I don't know if the random guy from trade chat who I am selling a 1g limestone to is an RMTer.

Is it safe for me to unknowingly recieve 1g of RMT gold at a time? 5g? 30 silver? 10g?

I like playing econ and don't want to get banned. I am just trying to follow the suggestions of your team, like @wintry arch.

From what people are saying, it is not safe to recieve any amount of RMT gold from anyone, as @wintry arch suggested.

To anyone that engages in the trade feature in the current game state: You have been warned. If you do not personally know who you are trading with and sure they have not RMTd their gold, do not sell them items. Do not get banned for the actions of others outside of your knowledge; It is not worth losing your account just because you wanted to participate in the game's economy.

# worthy herald As a testing vet THIS IS HOW THEY DO IT, they never actually fix anything EVER! ...

What I would give to understand what is going on inside that company, to be a fly on the wall, to investigate and audit things. I was an auditor in a previous life. I bet you I would spot so many process flaws and lack of controls in place just in their development process. I am assuming now, that everytime a new patch is rolled out, it just simply deletes anything that was fixed during the previous patches, and that if someone does not have a working list of everything that was fixed previously, bugs, exploits, and other things will just continually re-appear because someone is not double checking that these fixes were re-applied to the code. Is it a system limitation? Or is it a human error problem? Either way, it needs to be fixed and controls needs to be put in place so that these things stop happening so frequently, and hopefully, as close to never as possible.

# shell hollow Probably because they don't want people crafting epics using rare materials.

While that is very true, this was in the middle of a phase when most of the casual player base was more or less likely to start crafting (basing it off the casuals in my guild's time line, could be inaccurate). These changes should have been done post phase, or even at the end of the phase.

@proper schooner tagging you just as there is a slow mode, sorry lol. I completely agree that balancing is necessary and expected in a testing phase. No one's arguing against that. The issue isn't that they're balancing - it's how and when they're doing it. A 43-50% total power loss mid-phase, right when casual players are hitting their crafting goals, isn't iterative balancing. That's a fundamental system overhaul. This kind of massive change should come at phase transitions when everyone expects a reset, not in the middle when people have invested weeks into builds that just got cut in half. Alpha testing should involve tweaks and adjustments - 5-10% nerfs, maybe 15-20% on outliers. Not compounding 40% item nerfs with 67% boon nerfs that result in losing half your character power overnight. That's not testing balance, that's testing player tolerance for having their time invalidated. If they thought these systems were this broken, they should have either fixed them before the phase started or waited until the phase transition. Doing it now just punishes the players who engaged with the systems as intended. If you'd like to double check my math, I have it in #1461813554977181706 ❤️

# proper schooner - "43-50% total power loss mid-phase" in an Alpha. I still can't understand what...

@proper schooner You're missing the point entirely. No one is saying "don't make changes in alpha." We're saying there's a difference between testing and respect for player investment. Yes, it's alpha. Yes, we expect changes. But there's a massive difference between:

Iterative testing: "Let's reduce this by 10-15% and see how it affects the meta" vs whats happened here: "Lets gut 50% of player quality power with zero warning mid-phase"

The "it's alpha" defense doesn't mean developers should disregard when and how they implement changes. Even in testing, there are better and worse ways to gather data. Making sweeping changes midphase when players are deep into crafting progression doesn't give you clean data, does it? it gives you chaos and frustration. If Intrepid needs to test these massive changes, that's what phase wipes are for. That's literally the entire point of having phases. Everyone goes in knowing their progress resets, and massive system changes happen on a clean slate. "Go play a fully released game" is such a tired argument. We're here because we want to test and provide feedback. But feedback goes both ways, and the feedback here is that implementing 50% power cuts midphase is poor testing methodology that invalidates weeks of player time for no good reason. Alpha testing works best when there's mutual respect between devs and testers, which happened here when Steven made the decision to cut the nerfs within 1hr.

  • All data is useful, specially when you make a big change and compare results, why do you talk like all the professionals working at Intrepid have no clue on what they are doing?
  • Testing is not what YOU want to test but what the company wants to test with their patches and changes, is that so hard to understand?
  • If they do 50% change to something is because they want to check data on the impact that will have, they know why they do what they do. But now they gonna revert hours and hours of work because testers think they know better. It's just sad

ToS says they can ban you at any time for any reason and for no reason at all. If they feel that you're cheating its well within their rights to hit the ban button. The list is just drama - rather than posting public appeals like this you should have stayed quiet while they reviewed your appeals. Maybe you would have had a good come back story - now you're just gonna get clowned on.

They must be rolling back something else than the elixir changes? Surely no-one titled Lead/Senior Developer would be hardcoding such values in the client, making changing the values requiring rolling back full patch? In normal applications that would be simple database operation, and maybe forced relog for everyone in-game.. 😮‍💨

you are publicly shaming the team, a CS ticket for appeal would've been more professional. If he indeed didn't do anything, then ppl will remember his name as one who actually is fair and has skill.

Whoever was the person that approved updates being rolled out on Friday instead of literally any other working day of the week needs to take a good look at themselves and check if everything is ok with them. Like seriously, who does that 😄

ALL REALMS? Glorious @Alpha Two testers,

At 2:00 PM Alpha Two realms will be coming down, to roll back today's update (All dates/times in this message should be shown in your local time).

This downtime is expected to be up to two hours long. We'll keep everyone up-to-date about downtimes here in Discord :flamingphoenix:

EDIT: We are just rolling back today's update. We are NOT rolling back any character progress from today.

Oh miss me with that hippy cr#p, I worked all week so i could get a bowl of relaxation and get into the game. I don't care if it is alpha or whatever, was just happy to play something.

I am a good father all other days, but friday and saturday are my time. And this good damn developer, whoever he/she may be decided to launch a stupid update on a friday night, who does that?? its literally the first thing you learn at game update school

# proper schooner What makes you an alpha % change expert to say that 50% change is bad while 10-1...

@proper schooner I'm not claiming to be an "alpha % change expert" - I'm a player who did the math the devs wouldn't provide and is giving feedback based on the actual impact, and someone who has played mmos for quite a while.

  1. "What makes 50% bad while 10-15% is ok?"
    Scale and timing. A 10-15% nerf mid-phase lets players adapt their builds without invalidating their entire progression. A 50% cut makes weeks of effort, gathering, and their own time essentially worthless. If you're going to cut power in half, do it at a phase reset when everyone expects it.
  2. "All data is useful, especially big changes"
    Sure, but clean data is more useful than chaotic data. When you nuke everything midphase, you're not just testing the balance change, you're also testing player frustration, economic disruption, and community morale. That's not clean experimental data, that's noise. Phase resets give you the big change data you want without the midphase chaos and can actually be received a lot better.
  3. "Testing is what the company wants to test"
    Absolutely. And testers are here to provide feedback on those tests. My feedback is: this methodology sucks. You want data on a 50% power reduction? Great - test it at a phase boundary. Testing it mid-phase when casual players just hit their crafting goals doesn't give you better balance data, it just pisses off your testing community.
    Intrepid can test whatever they want. We can tell them when their testing approach is counterproductive. That's what alpha feedback is for.
  4. I appreciate you actually questioning the feedback and having civil questions back, homie. No anger or frustration, just simple q&a.

You are actually too civilized for me to continue headbutting this question, we simply disagree on how things should be. I have no problem with this type of changes, even if mid-phase because that chaotic data will give them info on how to balance that specific change on a new phase. And I think people are too possessive about their progression on the alpha, leading to this back and forth on patching
