Lol, that's some bad luck man.... or is it?
It's not luck the message isn't random. Same happens to my clanmates.
Yea i think its luck too, its to random tho.
Like i am afraid to retire becouse the last time i retired i got the msg at lvl 4 or something.
If i am not mistaken there is talk to make the crafting less random, so hang in there.
thats correct, but its been changed.
Or will be.
Current system works, sort of.
But its far from perfect like all you guys know.
I love the fact that certain clans get to use their signature equipment in strat for cheaper then some one else.
I hope that with whatever change the devs make in the future, that atleast will be saved.
I do not have a clear solution atm, but maybe a quick fix for the time beeing could be to prefent getting the msg at low lvl, and up the chance you get the msg after lvl 25 or so.
Getting it for the saved gear setup sounds nice, but what would prefent people to change their equipment before each round?
Say get a rouncy in your saved equipment slot, but always be on foot, or us a more expensive horse on puplic servers.
From my experience the more equipment I leave the same and spawn with the more likely I am to get the message. When you change out items it delays the message (not sure the specifics).
Definatly not. I have almost the same gear since a few gens now (only changed weapons) and I only got it at my first or second gen and again when I switched to cav 2 or 3 gens later. Both times I got it during my last gen it was one or two minutes after start of round when nothing had happened yet.
You must be doing something wrong then, because I've gotten the message at least 10 times in my current gen (about 400k from lvl 31)
Do you switch gear often?
I feel like I see it most often after making a fairly big gear swap but that could just be coincidence.
Here's my full, current list:(click to show/hide)
So I do get it a lot but I can see no definite trend towards "doing something wrong" vs "doing something right" to spark the message. If you think you are "doing something right" then what might that be?
I really don't understand it at all. My gen before this one I got the message at least 6 times but my current gen I haven't seen it once. It's making me extremely frustrated :\
My idea:
I think you should be able to set an item for each slot (a duplicate of the screen where we save our default gear) that you are learning to craft, and only when you are wearing the gear you have saved you acquire skill in it. So if you have an axe set to gain skill but equip a sword in CRPG you gain no skill, when you switch back to that axe you gain skill again. So you if you want to fool around with some other gear you don't lose progress for your craft items, but you don't gain any either. Item crafting levels could be tied to XP gain, and should display how much exp to crafting level up. If you switch out your saved item just before a level gain you wouldn't get it for the new item, it would be back at zero.
Not very helpful for us to figure out what circumstances create the message. Do you always use the same equipment? Do you swap any or all of it out once in a while (or frequently)? Anything you're doing different?
I really like this idea!
As someone who often switches between my real armor, which is only 30k worth of gear (not crutch worthy) and my fool around armor to make gold.. I rarely get the text, I've gotten it once this gen and I'm now level 30..
The one time I did get it, I was level 18 in a blue tunic and a deli cap. It's quite frustrating when you don't get it when it's even possible to equip the armor you want the text for.
I just hate the idea of dropping skill because I can't even wear the items I want due to the horrid timing of the text.
This idea would fix a lot of players frustration, including mine.
idk, non cav being able to craft horses cheap doesnt sound like a good idea.. gttn to put a rouncey in ur slot without using one?
You could put it in your horse slot but you wouldn't gain skill up exp unless you actually had it equipped in CRPG and using it (so basically paying maintanance in CRPG + in your skill gain slot on website = gains).
thats not the problem.. ive spent like 6 gens with the same armor and still can only make my lordly heraldic mail with tabard for 100 gold... i gt the message all the time
point being, either message needs to b more often, or the discount needs to b higher
I still think Turboflex's idea is the most ideal (with Mechanix's suggestion). And I think crafting at 40-60% off items is a good bonus for getting the chadztext, I think the price of goods is about twice as high as they should be. I think discussions are in the works for reducing item costs by half (or some).
i have had it alot... i have 48 skill in Kettle helmet and 45 in medium wooden ladder
