bored and annoyed

I am tired of fighting elementals to fill my crafting needs, please provide other options. If you can not, I will start doing something else.

 

So do other things and buy silver?
Can run all the other zones and the cash should come close enough to buy w.e u would get in silver at that time.

Isnt ideal but is an option.

 

Agreed. I bet the earth elementals are tired of fighting avatars to fill their mindless aggro needs as well. We need someone to come up with a solution!

We could feed the elementals with live kobolds to keep them calm.

Or the developers could let a horde of liches and skeletons drive out the elementals and take their place as guardians of the silver.

Or we could add some usefull material to carve out of their corpses, as was suggested by someone else in here.

 

Go do Control Points. I love them and it raises you a lot, plus after each wave a door opens and all in the group gets to loot the chests. My idea of fun, well one type of fun that is

 

Turn them into Silver Elementals, let us mine the dead corpse for silver ore. Problem solved!

I'm sure someone would still complain but I'd call it a win!

 

Or go to Hilt where you can already fight liches, skeletons and ghosts to get to the silver?

 

What were you thinking of doing?

 

What you mean there is no depth or variety only 3 months in to the games persistence and now players are bored?

Humm. Sorry for the sarcasm but when you create a game that reaches end stated in less than a month and a crafting systems that is so convoluted it borders insanity you are right where we are now.

Rember in UO when you had to figure out how to even kill a rabit and thenwhat to do with it. It took a while to get things done - should have started out like that, damn those who want to play diablo style and just gather stuff and walk thru the game over and over until you can do it in Hardcore level.

Damage done and no fix now will work . . if hey wipe and start over (LMAO) or if you blast it all like they are trying anyone new will be lost forever and they will be forced to turn it back to easy mode.

 

going to my friends to continue our hockey franchise lol, but seriously, i was thinking of just going back to leveling up and pvping, i won't buy silver, i'll buy gear, if i need too, but really i hope they just give us more exciting options, I've enjoyed the mastercrafting process, just not the gold and silver part and i dont think its to much to ask for some more exciting options, its not that i cant, its more that i have reached the point where i dont want to, i do not think a 'game' is going to thrive with such an element, pun intended.

hilt is not an option, the real silver there is gaurded by obsidians.

 

Some of the silver there is, a lot of it isn't.

 

that [language removed by Berek] dont respwn

 

Did last time I was in there.

 

i shall revisit,the last itme i was there the room near the ghosts didn't respawn once you cleared it. i'll likely still be bored but a lot less annoyed lol.

 

It is a nauseating experience going in for silver with the elemental spawn gone wild.
I still go in to collect silver, but it is now a chore which I dislike. And then annoying when told to just go buy it, comes across as condescending.

The spawn timer should be looked into again, and slowed down.

 

I also think the fights in the Silver mines could use some love. Fighting is okay, but either some exciting loot (would even be enough if there was a small chance of getting anything exciting) or some variety would be great.

 

Possible variety could be: slower respawn but therefor less quality of the yield. Imagine you dig a vein but instead of "failed" you just dig dirt or say iron ore even as GM digger.

 

I would expect Earth Elementals in a silver mine to be dropping silver, for example. They ought to be a source for silver scraps (we currently have a recipe for using them but no way to get them) and, very rarely, a silver ore. They should also drop gem fragments, gems and granite IMO. I don't think they should be dropping gold coins.

 

I like that idea for silver scraps! I have always thought they should drop granite or maybe something to fertilize crops as well.

 

I think that elementals when you loot them could possibly have ill effects also. It seems like when you loot them they should emit deadly gasses or maybe spores also. Things along that line. Also maybe you could "mine" or "harvest" elementals for the ores or special properties.

 

This would be great. Have them drop potash which would add a 0.5 multiplier for plant growth. I bet lot's of agriculturists would buy it.
