>>Tutoring I actually really like the idea. There'd have to be some additional restrictions, like being able to take techs or something, but since the Crafting Core was written really well, this is a feasible idea. I'll see what Kodius thinks. >>How does the bonus pool work with regards to exp drain upon login? I don't care if it works for it or not just curious. It works like "Whoa good morning indeed!" Translation: Double bits all the way down the train as long as your pools are turned on and you have bonus bits. >>thanks to socharis for the time, effort, patience, and thought put forth. thanks dude. Welcome. Hardest thing right now is replying to the right thread. >>Cap current crafting at 100 mech until the entire system and all 5 skills are released. That will kill the tyrannosaur for now. That's a really simple patch that'll basically make everybody who cares about the issue mad. It doesn't actually solve the problems we want to solve though. >>It's a shame the entire crafting system couldn't have been developed secretly and released out of nowhere all at once so we'd catch the average crafter with 300ish mech and a slack-jawed, glassy-eyed look Actually I'm REALLY glad we did it incrementally, because being able to watch what people are doing and want to do has shaped some of the choices we (and by 'we' I mean 'Kodius with me being annoying over his shoulder') have made. >>The only time I've seen the mechanics directly addressed it has usually been "Probably how we did the music lore split." Well I was taking a hiatus from DR when that occurred, so I'm rather clueless. If someone could link a post or explain how it worked that would be great. Excellent (And new!) question! The basics would be something like this: >CONVERT 50 MECH INTO ENGINEERING You cannot do that while you have field experience in Engineering or Mech Lore >CONVERT 50 MECH INTO ENGINEERING This will convert 50 ranks of your Mech Lore into 95 ranks of Engineering [MADE UP NUMBERS], leaving you with 150 ranks of Mech Lore. You can only convert Mech Lore into Engineering ranks ONCE. Are you sure you want to do this? Please re-enter the command 5 seconds from now to confirm. >CONVERT 50 MECH INTO ENGINEERING Please wait 3 more seconds before confirming >CONVERT 50 MECH INTO ENGINEERING You've converted 50 ranks of your Mech Lore into 95 ranks of Engineering. You now have 150 ranks of Mech Lore. until you've done them all. There's probably also an ALL in there. >>Does this mean no more sitting around and chatting with people because I want my bonus pool to go toward my hunting skills? This is the basic scenario that has influenced me to consider a toggle.
