o YEAAAA ! get ready for this
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the relic system has been discussed in detail in the past and ideas such as that have been suggested --- all and all its tooo complicated to make sme of these changes and in all seriousness you wont notice this miniscule bonus when all is said and done including the time spend/wasted gathering relics in the first place..
what other discussions you may ask ? use the search button, there were too many diffeernt threads, i posted one below
the only time gathering relics is auctually useful is when :
1. there is a large number of faction members on and Willing to capture and defend relics if necessarry
2. when number 1 applies, you then must be planning on spending a few hours or all day (cough SLAVES/DCN cough) playing.
you end up wasting time gathering and you could have gathered even more xp if you had just went and leveled without the bonus instead of getting sucked into the relic game !
heres a very simplistic and quite moronic example:
Imagine you have only 2 hours of time to play this evening:
and, lets assume the following hypothetical numbers:
Lets say : 1 hour of leveling = 1,000xp gained
therefore 2 hours of leveling = 2,000xp gained ---following me so far
so therefore ,
1 hour of leveling + a 50% bonus = 1,500xp
BUT if you spent 1 hour gathering and defending your precious relics to hold onto your bonus - and then only had 1 hour left to level....then you have spent your 2 hours tonight online and only ended up with 1,500xp ....if you had ignored relics, you would have had 2,000xp
all you have to do is add zeros to these numbers
-- for example you are level 16 and you realllly want to hit level 20 by the end of the night.... with a few wails and/or a party, this can be accomplished in about 2 hours, maybe a bit less.... SO - slap this into my equation above -- and O WHOOPS -- PWND you could have made level 20, but now after 2 hours you are still level 18 because you spent your first hour of gaming goofing off with your high level character gathering and defending relics -- not to mention the time spent logging off to relog and defend your cradel if raided.....
has this ever occured to anyone or is it just me ---
why dont we propose somthing else -- like these below ! *snickers*
1. making beer and pretzels fall from the sky every time a faction captures a relic
2. or this ! -- your character earns 1/10xp point per second spent with a relic on your back
3. or even -- when RK captures all of the relics - thousands of ale potions appear at the dwarfs feet...
4. or lets be real radical --
throw the relic system out of the game
...i rememebr zing holding a poll once ragarding the relic system.......
