it already takes months of fame grind (ranger rite) before the nerf hammer on NH, now it might take 2-3 months, who the hell has time for that, and how is that fun?
Neutral/Ranger only incentive on +50 to all fame, is free NH rides.. and now that's all *Poof* bye-bye, tulaloo.
tldr; instead of thinking on what to take away next to make it more 'challenging' aka the time sink patch, how about add stuff missions/events/rp events/ooc events (not holiday ones but just out of the blue events) to make the game more fun... oopps my tldr is long too lel.
Frankly, for those of us who where here nefore NH, the NH was an exploit. Earning fame for nations should bot come at 20 imes the pace oif earning fame for the factions. They should be the same level of difficulty ... not shoot up to the point wher eya got free rides in 3 days of effort.
I do agree on the Atuys Citizen nerf. Everybody else got double / quadruple rewards for their contrbutions.... the sole consolation for AC's was the free rides. Now that was taken away. As players are free to make game path choices, unless there's going to be multiple subscription levels, no player class should be denied equal access and opportinity. As each plaeyr canhave amac of 200 fame. Set it up that the max stays in place of 36 mats.
Player 1 w/ 100 can get 36 mats worth of rewards in 1 hand in in th eplace they have 100 ... 100 fame is an accomlishment so reward is appropriate. Assming that's the usual 100-75-25-0 distribution, they gat free rides in the 2 lands thay have 50+ in
Player 2 w/ 50-50-50-50 gets no double bonus. With 36 mats to hand in they have to visit all 4 NH folks 4 x 9 = 38 ... and they would get the same exact rewards as above ... but have to travel 4 times. They get free NH rides, but it's going to cost them 4 TPs.
The direction being taken, as stated in the forge meeting forum thread topics that you wil won't be forced to do things "but these changes will make you want to" I don't think stands up. Making people do what they really don't want to do to enjoy the same IG rewards is not a path that I see leading to sucess.
