What they should have done was reduce the xp given for the best recipes. If making one batch of something means that you hit a daily xp cap, then clearly making that thing gives way too much xp.<br /><br />Plus, these changes are actually just profiting the hardcore people who abused them to get on top. If someone has 3 million more xp than you because they "abused" a "loophole" and then the loophole is closed then that actually amplifies their lead. In either case you obviously have to play more than then to catch up. If the xp/hour for playing is now smaller then you have to play *much* more than them to catch up.<br /><br />I think I'm going to make a forum post!Sthennohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05429676469805661834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1305372753022597815.post-30924208284598248732011-10-20T11:08:01.414-07:002011-10-20T11:08:01.414-07:00Yeah, there are real issues with launching a game ...Yeah, there are real issues with launching a game with big holes in it and then patching them. I bought a bunch of the items that let you capture pigs so I could get them on the cooldown and now they are rotting in my cupboard.<br /><br />I like optimizing games and finding the best possible paths (just as you do!) and having those paths get plugged is frustrating when you have gone to significant lengths to build your strategy around it. I don't know that the rice cooking nerf was remotely necessary but I think that the pig selling one was; it was way too much cash and it rewarded a destructive activity. Getting lots of experience for cooking rice doesn't seem problematic at all though so it surprises me that they stepped in to change that.Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10723733406348223879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1305372753022597815.post-1406034630584958812011-10-20T10:11:34.370-07:002011-10-20T10:11:34.370-07:00They keep nerfing things I like to do and it's...They keep nerfing things I like to do and it's making me unhappy. <br /><br />It's weird, if the game had launched without being able to vendor pigs I don't think I'd have cared. If there was always an xp cap on making rice that was around 30 I don't think I'd have noticed.<br /><br />But as it is when I was able to one day make hundreds of rice with no problem and now I can't even make a single max batch? It sucks. <br /><br />It may make for a better game in the long run but it makes me sad in the right now and I've pretty much stopped playing as a result. I have hundreds of rice that wants to get cooked but if I can't get my xp for it why bother?Ziggynyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07518980519046202646noreply@blogger.com
