Voidwatch: Crystal Petrifact

[Phogg]

Something just dawned on me that I think really highlights how completely inept the devs are, and/or how utterly out of touch with their own game they have become. Let's totally ignore the absolutely brilliant suggestions to convert these into phase displacers, thus helping literally everyone seeking to clear VW paths and go with 100 cruor instead. Done.

Hey SE, you might want to start re-hiring some actual in house full time game testers so even the most basic thoughts would occur to you, such as the following.....

"Greetings, adventurer! Congratulations, you have defeated the mighty Qilin 12 times! Now, I understand you have not yet been rewarded with the dagger/(insert body/nm/insert whatever you are actually after in VW that you never get) but never fear, you can feel rewarded with 5 of these rare and valuable 'Crystal Petrifacts'! Once you have met certain unknown conditions, you can convert these FIVE crystal petrifacts into FIVE HUNDRED cruor! Awesome, right? With that ridiculous amount of cruor, you will be able to purchace ONE WHOLE FORBIDDEN KEY!"

In the realm of brilliant ideas, this one ranks up there with "If we're hungry, lets just eat our own poop!"

Edit: Hmm, this sounds like a youtube video in the making. I shall call it "Two Devs, One cup"

The logic of allowing petrifacts to be turned into cruor to be used for atmacite upgrading is just frigging laughable. What good is it that a whole stack of them is worth 9900 cruor when the cost of upgrading gets to be in the hundreds of thousands? They would have to be at least 2k to start to make a dent in some of the pricier atmacite.

Just take these abominations out of vw chests altogether. No one is saving them for PW bullshit, mostly because the whole PW battlefield is an unrewarding cesspool.

Stop wasting development time on nonsense like this. There are tonnes, and tonnes, and TONNES of other fixes you guys could be focusing on.

just another stupid se move, give this one lone programmer in the basement his week vaction he asked for in 09 and get him some sleep and off the coffee IV drip, please.

It's like you added 5 nin shadows and then forgot to update the shadow counter icon. It's like not looking before merging into traffic, SE....oh, you do that alot?

Please think before you implement shit. Oh wait, im talking to the poor middleman who has to probly disreguard this and all other rants if they hold criticism towards SE, even if the weight in the words has value.

/facepalm 100 cuor really dudes this is nothing but FAIL.....

/facepalm 100 cuor really dudes this is nothing but FAIL.....

Especially since cruors become mostly useless now.

Greetings everyone!

After looking over all of the feedback in regards to the planned adjustments for Crystal Petrifacts, the development team has decided to hold off on them at this time.

While there are a variety of thoughts for new ways of using Kupofried’s Medallion/Crystal Petrifacts that tie back to the original application in Provenance for the future, this is something that is closely related to plans for adjustments to Voidwatch as a whole, so we will be thinking about the uses keeping the long term in mind.

If we were to quickly add methods to exchange this item right now, it would become a waste when we implement new elements and content in the future, so we would like to spend some time looking into all the ideas we have received and not rush into anything.

With that said, it might be cumbersome to carry all those Crystal Petrifacts, but we would like you hang on to them a bit longer while we flesh out the plan. Of course, feel free to exchange them for Kupofried’s Medallion though!

not sure if this was said before but why not allow us to trade these petrifacts for the weapon/armor cells. Make it that like 50 petrifacts can get you 1 armor cell and 99 can get you 1 weapon cell of you choice?

I'm not against the idea of petrifacts being much much rarer as a result. Also this is a terrible idea for anythig other then the finale drops as these have nothing to do with the rest of VW.

Turn them in for the KIs for provenance watcher, or allow the corundums to be used to pay for the KIs. Part of the reason why people have so many corundums is it can take a long time to assemble a party, then do three BCs, then one final one where everything good has a 5% drop rate... It's a huge waste of time.

That's why I quit forever doing Prov Watcher.
