What about people who allow experia to go 'old' so their alts can refresh them? or just people who place them for alts or guildmates?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

MAGIC DEFENSE ERENOR SHIELD!!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Please reconsider the experia change.

I know lots of people who plant them just for the glorious then tell guildies "Whoever needs experia's come get them" You are saying nobody can else can harvest them now?

Why has this change been made without ANY discussion with the player base? I think it is a bad change.

For one, what Bombermang says. I know many guilds that will plant experia for guildies for various reasons. Guilds that take in a lot of new players to teach them the game and offer them guild land to use: these guilds also plant things for people with little resources to help them out. No resources meaning: HAVING BARELY ANY LAND. You suddenly demand newbies to be required to GROUP UP for PLANTING freaking experia? Wtf?
-> I've been in such a guild 2 years ago and it was SO HELPFUL to be able to get some experia harvested for free without any effort. You deny new players this great part of the game.

~

Then there's people like me. I own a small guild to offer a safe place to people. I OWN THE GUILD. I want to offer my guildies a higher guild level, and the custom guild content. So it is natural that I'M THE ONE who pays for it. because we aren't with very many and people are still spending their hard earned gold on their own things.

-> I work on 100 pine experia per batch AT A TIME. That is 2500 pines, 4500 memory ink, and 1200 blue salt hammers. It comes close to 3k gold per batch that I HAPPILY invest as a guild leader. I ORGANISE THIS. I make sure MY guild gets exp, I plant them all because I see it as MY JOB as a guild leader. But this change makes it all utterly garbage and will make it harder for small guilds to make use of the CUSTOM guild content that requires GUILD EXP.....


Don't make the guild content more exclusive to people with a large amount of land plots, and large well-established guilds. Please.

Only the planter will be able to harvest them on private land.

Guildmates will not be able to use them. As to alt characters I would expect them to be character bound so alts cannot use them either. Though cannot confirm character or account based for planter as of now.

I love this change! Keep it up with the awesome changes!

 

[Starrylove]

Please reconsider the experia change.

Our guild plant them for guild members and now your saying that only the person that plants them can pick them. That will hurt guilds whos members don't own land.

So what if the land is set to guild? Can anyone in the guild harvest the experia that was planted by the owner of said land? It isn't private land since it is set to guild right?

Only the planter can harvest it when placed on private land. Private land is any land you have to pay taxes to retain.
So if the lands set to guild the planter is still the only one who can harvest it

Experia Patch update is not a change, it's a bug fix. Don't ask to keep the bug present in game, we will not do it.
That is a bug that some players decided to abuse instead of reporting. Now bug is fixed.
We will not reconsider and leave the bug in game. And this is not even a topic for discussion!

 

[Shadowgaming]

Magic Def on Erenor Shield? I'm sure this is a big game changer for a good bit of people! Thank you for listening to the community's suggestions. Great to know you guys care about us and our opinion. Keep up the good work!

 

[Shadowgaming]

I wonder how that will play out with the tankier classes like Skull Knight and other tanky plate classes.

Excuse everyone for not realising harvesting someone else's things is a bug.... I mean, usually it just leaves footprints if taken by someone outside guild or family


On another note, will you all at least consider finally launching that event we had on retail where we could earn extra guild exp/prestige by doing special event quests? The one that originally added the guild balloons, guild sidewalk signs, etc.?

It would help smaller guilds a lot if this event is active on a somewhat regular basis. Especially considering the need for more experience to keep up with the custom guild content.

Bug wasn't in using someone else's things. What players did was growing 1 Experia and then having as many people as you can stand around the plant, and have one person count down everyone presses F to harvest at the same time. That way multiple players who involved 0 resources get guild xp at the same time.

What is the event name you are referring to? Please provide the event name.

I'm not 100% sure, it's been a long time. Maybe the [Guild Unity Event] after the tokens that were used to get the guild decorations?

Examples of other items:

Thank you for considering.

That is a very old event. Mainly gives gilda stars and guild unity tokens that can be exchanged to decor by the guild leader.

I remember it giving guild experience and prestige. And I know it's old, I haven't played retail with my own guild in about 3 years...

Maybe in some 2.0-2.5 game version. In 3.0 it gave Merit Badges, now it gives Gilda Stars.

I played from 2.9 onwards... :/

That is really disappointing. Is there maybe something else you can do instead? I personally really appreciated this event back then, and something similar would be great.
