Miner changes unfair

[Suirieko]

Good grief. Every, single change that is made, there is someone on the forums to complain about it.

That old saying of "You can never please everybody" continues to go strong here. They change one thing, someone complains, they cater to that complaint, someone else starts complaining.

Whatever happened to people just drinking the kool-aid? Hell's bells.

Complainers gonna complain.

It's a vicious cycle.
People complain cause it's broken
Developers adhere to complainers to fix it.
And then people complains when it's fixed.

It's why I feel that SquareEnix listen to players way too much.

Agree'd... they all need to drink it....

lol. It's the same for those who are going to beat Coil first, get their relics first, ect. Later on that will be made easier to, as the game progresses. That's already been told. So, it's happening to gathering too. Who cares? :P

Meh, I just hit lv50 Miner, Botanist, Fisher recently (stopped at lv30 in 1.0) but I did feel the EXP needed some more boost when comparing miner/botanist to crafting classes or fishing class where you get much more XP on HQ items. You get 4 turns about 300-500ish xp (without scroll or food) so thats 1200-2000/node, crafting for the same amount of time for 1 craft can give from 2400-8000 depending on the item + when you craft new items you get a larger bonus. This also goes for fishing also, fishing I kind of felt that they did too much on HQ fish xp. Normal 2000-3000xp HQ 8000++++

Only difference between crafting and gathering is that you need to have the crafting materials so I can see why the xp is more on crafting, and it should be kept the way it is. But as for Miner/Botanist I think this change should be good, I'm sure it's not going to be a drastic change, just increased a little more to be more balanced with other classes leveling speed.

Curious, thank you Reinheart.

What does, "Implementation of a population cap for each field." mean?

What does, "Implementation of a population cap for each field." mean?

It means there will be a limit to how many people are allowed in each zone/map. This is to prevent the crashes that's been brought on by Odin/Behemoth Fates. There's a thread in the JP forum about how this can be an issue though (getting locked out of a zone when the Fate is up even when you have no intention of participating).

I do not know if I should laugh or cry.

We 1.0 Gatherers (BEFORE Yoshi took over) have not even open our mouths yet. You want to complain that its unfair? I am actually happy they decided to make leveling gathering jobs easier. Trust ME, ask those 1.0 Gatherers what it is like to level in 1.0 pre-Yoshi.

I took my Botany and Mining till Lv34, basically took up all my play time.

MMO's usually start rough, then they make stuff easier cause ppl complain.

It's expected, it's predictable, it happens.
