i dont see an issue with the change

as Blue posted (i think) we were simply using a bug to gain more money, that bug has now been fixed not only for alb but also for hib and mid.

if nothing else you should be thanking the gms for their dedication to the server and fixing the bugs that it has, all at virtually no cost to us, except for maybe the handful that donate.

if you dont like how much alb has df do something about it! the control of df is dictated by the players, not the staff. if you want to open df and therefore enable you to farm seals etc. then go take keeps, dont complain about it on the forum.

as a person thats played here for ~8months and maybe 20hrs each week i can say that its no easy task to gain money, with or without the bug. i never made a farming char so the only money if have ever made is from leveling chars up and selling the drops.

the economy of the game is simply based on supply and demand. i would not expect a person to come here,level 1 50 char up and then be able to easily template the char (except for maybe casters and such)

this game takes time and dedication to become a well equipped character. when you look at the herald and see the rr11 players know that they have probably all been here for 2-3 years. this game rewards the players that have the time and dedication to keep playing and become the most powerful.

this topic should most likely be closed simply because the staff is NOT going to reimplement a fixed bug. imo if they were considering a switch back they should put up a poll and let the whole community decide, not just albion.

it is impossible to cap all stats on assassins here. 5 skills, 5 stats, 9 resists?

i would bow down and worship the man that could complete a template without using an mp suit and items like the wormskin wraps.

it is possible to cap assasines here too..but you need MP full set, and extraordinary jewelery for it.

and..
why 5 stats? you need dex, qui, con, str, thats it..and thats just 4

5 skills..yes..but heard of the chance to have a switch item for envenom?
my assasines have a switch MP for it with +8 envenom, +1 all magic (envenom counts as magic) so i have +9 envenom on the item and the rest i need i have on:
alb..gem
mid..ring
so you need only 4 skills on your set you wear in combat.

You need hardly any money whatsoever after your 99 quality set (you do not need 100 quality) and your sc/ablatives, which you should have the money for just be simply leveling up. After your suit is done, the rvr money is sufficient enough for repairs and barrels.

I never understood this need for mass DF farming for items, its a classic server, you can only cap so many stats and its incredibly easy to do with simple to farm items. Think my entire suit (farmed 2 rings, everything else I just had from leveling and put it in my template) costed around 5 plat, and I'm a hero whos scale alone was 2.5p. Leveling up normally with 0 gold farming sessions and rarely if ever going to DF, I had over 6 plat plus spent a plat of it on weapon crafting.

Hibernia has easy templates

you dont cap your hits?

and i know to put env on a crossbow or something, i know its possible to cap every thing, i was just saying its not possible with a 99 suit and cheap jewelry. sorry i typed in a confusing way...

As this is a normal bugfix and at least gem prices are live like now, there's nothing to discuss about this fix. More will follow and will affect all realms.
