ARC change to DoM maybe?

[AlexNiculaie]

I leveled CRP because when cobalt arrows were 65k+ at the time, I could see profit. Now they are taking away one of CRP's main incomes?

Which is being replaced with the ability to customize players' homes and create furniture as well. I somehow don't see CRP struggling in 2.0. That said, I don't see a need to explain a game mechanic through lore. There's no in game lore on why our armor and weapons vanish and reappear out of thin air, nor how it is our characters never have to eat or use the restrooms. No explanations or why mobs fade away after defeat, or why they magically spawn again without needing to reproduce first (despite there existing in game items suggesting they do.). It's a video game, not everything needs to be explained away, or adhere to strict logic.

Agree'd being to strict and ocd about following lore is as bad as having non.
Having to take bathroom breaks and go into a room or animating getting changed would be well yeah... pft...

But when their is a option to create something and give it lore why not do so?
And it would also (imo at least) make the ARC/BRD class more individual and allow for some really nice effects to be added, So why would it not be better to do so?

edit:

Can some 1 post a link to where it talks about arrows?
Not that I dont trust you, but maybe i missed some stuff aside from the arrows.

I honestly don't see how lore comes into removal of arrows anywhere, and how having arrows as consumables now 'better' fits into the lore than not.

What are you shooting from your bow? if its not arrows and where does that thing come from.
Were not losing lore atm, were losing something that seem logical, and I'm just putting an idea of how to give us some lore and create something new from the change.

I made a reply here to a specific comment, and my words were poorly chosen

So it's not lore that's the issue, it's realism.

Tell me, where on your character are you storing 100 plate mail chest pieces?

Maybe its going to be one of those things where arrows come with the bow free of charge? And its automatically assumed that we equip and use them, so there is really no point to even have an equip slot for them.
Its like asking "What are you shooting out of your bow?"
"Well arrows of course"

lol I specifically didn't use realism, as their is no 'issue' and it isn't about that.

The game is being changed, regardless of my personal feelings on the change, I saw an opportunity to evolve/change the ARC/BRD class, give it a reason to have several cool effect on the bows and explain it away by creating some game lore making ARC/BRD part or full DoM.

But yes you baited me into a silly reply that really had nothing to do with my original post. Congrats for that lol..

Yup it probably will be, i just think it'll be a missed opportunity to change the class and make it more individual if that's how it goes.

I suppose you want lore/logic put in the game to explain why our characters don't ever have to use a restroom as well ;D

I've already reply'd and explained that the wording of the post was poorly chosen more then once, and has nothing to do with the original post..
