Worthlessness of gold!
#15854 - 02/22/07 11:35 PM |
I just felt like sharing how worthless gold is. I wish there were things we could spend gold on. Maybe a form of gambling like Diablo 2 had where you could buy a greyed out item that had a chance of being unique. In this case the item could have a chance of being purple or rainbow. Below is 100+ million gold. http://www.harkamus.com/gold.jpg Edited by Tachan (02/22/07 11:37 PM) |

Yep, I've been noticing the same trend. My Fighter is now level 29, I have every skill upgrade available to me and still have over a million gold left over. There is a serious need for more gold sinks. |

amen boss. ive gotten to the point where i am only picking up yellows to give to newbies to help them out. i have 3mil, and i figure im not gonna need much more than that any time soon, so i dont bother. there needs to be something big to save up for. i dunno. at least in WoW gold takes ages to save up for, and at least in diablo, there was awesome, randomly generated weapons/item to buy that cost heaps. i dunno. rainbows people sell should be availabel to buy, but only as many as people have sold. means you gotta be first in first served. or something. i dunno, just something -------------------- The FAQ-Read it!

Yup, we totally need money sinks. As it is the existing weapon/armor vendors are useless. As I was leveling I kept checking to see if any of it was worth buying and it was always red to me, cept for a few pieces. Besides, as I checked the stats of what the vendors had, I had already looted armor/weapons easily 5x better than what was being sold 10 levels above me and red. Buying skills is very expensive, but only to noobs. Once you get lvl 15 or higher you'll have more money than you can spend, but a lvl 8 or 9 buying just one skill upgrade can go broke doing so. I like the gamble idea for armor/weapons. Huge cost for an item that is randomly generated. |

If only we had problems like this in real life.  Well, they're making a classless system, so our characters will be very customizable skill-wise. Maybe they can make weapons customizable, like adding stat improving potions, or maybe add some vanity items. In COH it costs "influence" to change your appearance. Maybe that could be added here. Or selling dyes to change armor colors, like in GW. They've already mentioned housing for your character. Maybe you'll have to pay rent, and buy furniture. I'm good at thinking of ways to spend money... That's a little scary. I should mention this stuff in the Suggestions forum! -------------------- Jouselle Runs Dungeons |

please try to use the word newb over noob. we reserve noob for the newbs who are very "silly", which is the standard and we need to be able to call the new players newbs, without them getting upset we're calling them noobs. -------------------- The FAQ-Read it!

Maybe we could buy King's Coins at 5-10K a pop. |

yeah i always get enough in gold to cover my pots (and that's only picking up 1k and over if i can be bothered and if ive used lots of pots) and item sales cover my skills (and i have both ranger and warrior skills) and i still have over a million in bank at all times at lvl 50. -------------------- The FAQ-Read it!

Why does gold have to be worth something? Why does pots have to cost more? Why do you want to make the game harder to play and enjoy? Why should I have to struggle to afford pots or skills? Why can't they just leave the game as it is, fun? |

Quote: im not sure what level you're at, but im guessing less than 30, otherwise id guess you'd agree with those of us with more money than we know what to do with. when money means nothing, the game is less fun. i know people who dont even bother to pick up yellows they hvae that much spare money. which means they rarely even look at them. they dont see the cool names any more. we're not saying we want to struggle to afford things, but when money becomes meaningless in a game, something is not right. we're not even necessarily sying pots need to be more expensive, but at higher levels you dont even think about filling up a whole inventory with pots (from memory tachan does that) you know you have the money. the point here is that the scaling they apply to pot price for each lvl is perhaps not great enough what we'd like to see is something else, fun, for those with all this spare cash to spend it on. im not sure how you feel that makes the game less fun, when the point is to make it more fun -------------------- The FAQ-Read it!

Quote: I'm level 41 and while I have enough money I wouldn't say I was loaded. Every time I level up I go and get all the new skills that have become available to me. This usually results me me having about 10K left. I'm not a farmer, I can't farm. I tried to farm the queen but got bored after the third kill. So maybe its just my play style. |
