perma x2 on release?

[akumaspkplayer]

So people are saying there will be perma x2 on release any truth behind this?

[raptorjesus666]

rather hope so

with the upcomming re-purpose people have to destroy their stuff to be able to move (losing 50% of the resources) so a x2, for quite some time would help to more or less restore most things (if you even find a good spot to build on, every active server has it's own population allready that also aim for the good spots)

A permanent 2x rate would be amazing, I've personally always thought that the 1x rate was just too grindy and took away from the fun.

Good old days when a 120 quetzal took almost 6h to tame

[LameoveR]

Em... no?

Newbs must taste the GRIND :-P

 

[Isho]

Hope not. The only thing I'd like to see them change is the breeding rates according to the others. While they made 2x harvesting and XP permanent a while ago, they left breeding untouched.

No. This topic has been going around since they had a x3. That was just special. x2 will not be the new norm.

And foundations everywhere, no resources X.x

I hope not. Its just a way to usher in server tame caps even quicker..

 

[wallaby]

even at 2x the game is still incredibly tedious ,so setting 2x as the new norm would be a good move

the game is not grindy at all i am always baffled by what people consider grindy in games i can build a metal base with a tribe of 3 in a matter of hours tame pteras on ragnarok and already have ascendant gear (if im lucky and some alpha tribe is bad at pvp) 

[vowels]

Well .... technically our normal rate is already 2x at base rate ... compared to the original gather/tame/whatnot rate.

They seem to care a little about PvE, and as a company they seem to embrace the grind in Ark, so I really doubt that will be the case. I also hope it's not.

For PvE players, if populace servers are at cap, why want faster rates? It just means servers are totally capped sooner. If you're WC, you don't want tame capped servers either, leads to lots people complaining they're at the cap.

For PvP players, it's a bit more of a gray area, but I think Alpha/Mega tribes benefit the most from increased rates (assume for the sake of argument there's no duping going on). Most are not in an alpha/mega, but if that's you I totally get why you would like faster rates.

For all, 2x and especially the recent 3x (for xp) pretty much make everything before metal irrelevant, even if you only kind of know what you're doing. Started a new toon over the weekend for S&Gs and it is absurd how fast I made it to 60, just playing the game not engaging in any specific leveling activity.

I actually liked it way back when it was half of what it is now better so I'm biased, but I think increasing it further permanently would be a mistake.

I'm with the people who liked 1x. Embrace the grind my brethren. 

Imprint timers need some reworking.. and kibble system needs some major dumbing down, besides that game mechanics are where they need to be imo
