So, after months of playing on beta, i stopped on grand opening after i knew all those hard worked money and items dissapeared.. started playing again just few weeks ago and i just noticed.... THE LATEST UPDATES RUINED THE GAME!!!
-Cost doubled for crafting items
-Using a bound item in the alchemy, will result in the finished item being bound too (coming from an item merchant on the old days, it's now impossible for me to sell people 3-5* in the apropriate price because of this)
-Unbind cost is crazy as hell!

I know there are maybe tons of complaints about this update, but please, atleast reduce crafting price by atleast 1/4 or more, and all crafted items are unbind / reduce unbind cost.

Btw about AH, like it but, u gotta pay 10% of the money u earned if an item is selled, this i don't like... reduce it to like 5%

lol old new is old... those

lol old new is old... those updates where done AGES ago. 5/17 to be exact quit dredging it up

the reason for the alchemy item remaining unbound was because of "merchants" like you. you flooded the market with end game gear whether for profit or friends, which OOO had to stop in order to increase longevity of gameplay so they could continue development of SK. thanks a bunch bro.

for a time after 5/17 there was no way to unbind equipment (which in many games there still isnt), when they finally released a way to unbind, the unbinding cost was a natural deterrent from people like you from using it. In other word, OOO wants you alone to work for the gear instead of cheaply buying your way through, while still giving you an option to unbind for a larger sum of CE than the item is worth

10% is more than fair most people price stuff above that as to not sell at a loss

o ya did u know Basil ports no longer happen? if you join at the Clockwork terminal or the level before that, basil's stock appears as all 0s... once again thanks a lot for spoiling it for the rest of us.

................uh?

I get that you'd be stressed with all the sudden changes. Personally, I'm struggling to get all my gear, and I understand why you'd be shocked.

Think about it: If the crafting cost was lower, people would get end game sooner. Then stop playing. Or just run again and a again till they're bored. By having an objective, like getting a lot of cr to get ce to craft, the game still holds its appeal by NOT being boring.

Likewise crafted with bound gear results in bound gear. Then it'd be child's play for someone to get endgame status. A month or two and you'd be done. Took me like 2 weeks or maybe a few more...to raise 60K, not including limited spending. I could easily use that cr to buy the cheap 5* gear, then mach it all the way to T3 easy peasy.

Although I'd normally agree with you on Unbind cost, it's so that players CAN'T just unbind it easily, which would otherwise result in the above.

AH 10% charge is to encourage prices up. They want people to go INTO the clockworks to get their recipes, so they use energy. The tax is to bring the prices up so others are less inclined to get them straight from AH without having to go down.\.

Don't get me wrong, I kno all about the pysch out you're probably having from the changes, but there ARE reasons. Read my post thoroughly, take a break and think it over from multiple angles, then just think about it, read it again, and see if you can see my logic.

I went through a similar phase, but only when I actually STARTED the game. Everything new seemed ridiculous. But then I thought it over, and it made sense. See if you can too. It just takes a little time, and a LOT of thought.

EDIT: the guy above me posted as I was writing...no fair, I wanted to post first.

Btw, does that mean you are back at square one in terms of gear? If so, send me a friend request ingame about it, and I'll see if I can help you out :D

yes.

I agree with everything these two gentlemen had to say. I disagree whole-heartedly with your complaints about the changes. From what you said, it looks like the only reason you're upset is because you cant make money as fast as you used to.

after i think of it...

yea, think i just got shocked from all those changes... just gotta get used to it, i'm not really much of a merchant guy either back then, i only sell nooby 2-3* stuff, and only sell common 5* such as DA and AP, but if OOO want us to stop doing that, then... what can i do? Still i hope that they lower crafting price a bit.. since now progressing through the game is 2x longer than the old days

See?

Don't worry, you'll get used to the slow pace.

Really, with the new changes of cost and all, it's just to slow all the players down so that we play the game longer, leading to us purchasing ce (economically speaking). But it has it's advantages for us 'nooby' players like myself. We can play the game longer and not get bored! :D

If you find the new stuff too dry to use or something, then check out the new stuff and see if they are any good for you. There's the new stage: Candlestick keep, there's Blast Network (An SK re-make of Bomberman -_-) and my personal fav non-clockworking activity: LOCKDOWN!

Oh yeah, feel free to add me ingame if you want, IGN is my display name. You can talk off the shock from all this sudden-ness to me. For some of my friends, I'm a mini Psychiatrist :D

Otherwise, anything new you're not sure of, you can also talk to me! :D I'll help you any way I can.

...Heh, if you even NEED help ><
