Vanessa:
What direction are you going here with the game?

From the time of the wipe, the only major updates have been to prices and exp gained, mostly from crafters, but also with the addition that barter skill has no use if an item is on the NPC's list. That, and making gathering more difficult.

I'm not quite understanding what you're doing here, and I'm just wondering. I was fine with the junk and electronic parts being more difficult to obtain, electronic parts are easy and junk's not that hard to find. Crafting was generally not much harder than it was before, with the tweaks here and there.

Everything was good and all, but then today there was a patch to lower the EXP gained from crafting, DRASTICALLY.  But the crafting times.. are the same?

Was the idea to just make the game generally more difficult? Or.. What? That's my question here.

[Smallrant] Do you know what most people are leveling up on right now? Avoiding encounters. You get like 60-110 exp for avoiding an encounter. That's as much as crafting ammo which takes a lot longer.[/smallrant]

Blarg:
i think it was to make it so people who fight stuff to get exp also... not just sit and craft all the time

Vanessa:
I understand that, Blarg, but you also have to remember a couple things;


* Before you can get a gun, if you aren't a melee/unarmed/PURE COMBAT centered character, killing things can be difficult. I.E. Crafting characters that don't have combat skills necessary for the profession.
* After level 5, exp from kills drops off harshly. Scorpions net me 25 exp, hounds net me maybe 35 at level 7.
Most people will not have the health, or weapons required to fight Deathclaws or Centaurs, ESPECIALLY crafting characters. So... Where will they be gaining exp now? I know I know it's more difficult now, but it doesn't seem balanced anymore. Now it's more focused on combat characters than it ever was.

Simms:
You aren't supposed to gain XP, you should roleplay whichever level you have now. Take it like a man...  :)

Gruik:
I'm now level 9 with a crafter AND PvP character. He can craft his guns and go fight mobs with. Since the wipe, I didn't have problems for XPing with crafting and farming mobs. Now the XP for crafting is lower.... well... It will just take me more time to be level 21 and that's it. The only difference with many players is that my team have a base, so I can craft safely. And I started at level 1, with no stuff, nothing, like everybody. If you can't handle that alone, then search for friends who will help you.
