Roll Over Minutes for Tomes Please

[shumakiso]

SE, I think putting some type of rollover minute system for Tomes would be great for those of us in the military or jobs that we have to be gone for extended periods of time.

As it is now. If you miss a month or 2 of playing, you will never ever be able to catch up and basically wont be able to play the game. You leave for 2 months, come back, no one wants to raid with you because your behind in gear now. Unfortunatly even if you try you can not catch up in gear because it will take you exactly 2 months to do so, in that time you are still getting pushed further behind the curve as everyone else progresses. The cap system completely cuts off some of your player base.

Having a system that let you save tome caps would allow us to come home and atleast have a chance to make up lost ground and get back into the game.

I'm sure players that like to be elite or wtv will disagree with this but a system like this would hurt no one and only make the game accessible to more people.

What is rollover minute system?

While I'm not against a rollover system for myth tomes, there are other ways to acquire gear. You'll never be that far behind.

I've you leave for 2 months there will be other ways to get gear to catch up to endgame raiding... CT for example is one of them.

Tend to agree. Guess in the first place the system is there to prevent too rapid gear progression, that is, hold the hardcores back, make them pay for subscriptions longer. On the other hand, the guys at the other end of the spectrum are hurt as well as you mention. Catch-up mechanics doesn't let anyone get an edge, and saves the frustration and feeling of being left behind until the next major update. I'm not talking about something that lets you get the gear for a fraction of the time it took people that ground it out every week, neither is the OP, because I'm sure that's going to be brought up at some point here. Simply allow people to put in the same amount of time, but allow them to have a bit more choice as to when they want to spend the time.

I don't see why people who don't sub should get given tomes to catch up . However They are increasing tomes to 450 soon .

On the other hand I feel that its unfair that casual players who spent 2 months lvling to 50 because they were crafting and exploring game lose 300 tomes a week basically until they get to 50 .

The cap should increase by the amount left over each week

Yeah, cause we all know there is zero content for people in 2.1 that don't have full Myth gear. The game is basically unplayable if you've been gone two months.

This would also be good for people in comas, people that don't have accounts yet, etc. No one should have to put any time into this game; you should just be able to log on at any time and have access to everything.

What kind of argument is that? Well.. why do I even expect anything remotely Inteligent in this forum no offensive but I think that comment was more than
*If you don't have anything nice to say say nothing at all*
Section. wow.

Back to Topic:
I think a Cap Increase Eache week for thoes who have a PAID subscription but are not able to play is totally ok.
When I need to go to Afghanistan again for 6 Month I won't be able to play at all.
And 6 Month? Try to catch that up if you are limited to 300 a week.

Basicaly if you are logged out a week without loging in once you should get the Maximum to 600 for the next week and if you fail to login that week you should get 900 the week after.

And of course you get reset as soon as you use that raised Cap. And only when you have a paid Subscription. My Accounts holds 164 Days of Subscription ATM.

@Grailer, Ya I meant people that keep their subs going even while gone, like me for instance, I do because I want to support the game.

@Omniwaink, Taken out of context a bit huh. Never said to give people tomes. Just roll the cap over so that when they come back they will still have to grind out the content like everyone else but atleast they have the opportunity to spend a ton of time trying to catch up, instead of hitting cap.

[Maxthunder]

I have to disagree as in a big NO. If you stop playing for this or that reason than you dont need any special treatment. Life comes 1st even if you get a little behind in the game.

[Yurikitty]

Poor Omniwaink, everyone missed the sarcasm. I thought it was obvious, but I guess not. I think his point was there is no need for roll over tomes. CT is coming out, new cap is 450. But if you are behind dont fret, soon they will be nerfing everything just for your casual self. Everyone is a special snowflake, no one should be left behind.
