I’ve got no qualms with the reflection feature either, in fact think it’d be a great addition to any block, as long as we’re allowed to determine which blocks have a reflective quality. In another thread I had suggested adding various types of resources (wax, resin, oil, leather to buff) to choose the type of look you wish to achieve. Maybe make it so only advanced decorative crafters can achieve such customization. This way, no matter what block you make, you could add a particular look to it. It seems with the addition of wax that they may be heading in that direction, who knows?
Regardless of that, I feel that specifically, the refined metamorphic block needs a serious do-over.
Why not replicate pre-wipe world? With daily scheduled script putting oort in all portals?
Add a script to refill any shopstand with items which already has price set up + another to give each player 10k gold each day.
Should make rapid testing of any feature very quick…
It’s perfect that they didn’t add new things. They have enough issues for being a 4 year old game as is they should give new items a rest and make the game run properly for a few updates and then start phasing new content back in. The cost of launching before it’s ready
Balance would work out cause we would just have to check staff that was changed. Only planet generation would be problem.
As for game peace, this would be hard to test in any scenario I can think of.
It would be good if this was optional. If there is any kind of low level progression changes it would be hard to test with a fully decked out level 50 character. But for the most part, a fully decked out level 50 character would be the most useful.
As long as this feature isn’t leaked out to the release version of the game you shouldn’t worry about letting the (test)player have a stupid amount of resources. Since it is for testing purposes, a serious tester would set their own limits to create a scenario.
You could for instance let the player push a button in the knowledge tab to gain some of that resource.
