I'm really excited about ECO's update. But some issues are apparent right off the bat.
- Fish Stew- they require tallow, the only way to get tallow is hunting. So why is fish stew relevant at all? You still need tallow to make it which means your going to have to Hunt and fish rather then just hunt for a stew. It's equal to Meaty stew but requires twice the running around to make.
- Tailoring -you took out the mid game elements of Tailor and moved them to hunting reducing their ability to make income and then made tailors main income maker "rugs" cost more materials to make. The late game stuff is also irrelevant because it gives no buffs. No one would wear these cloths over the Work clothes or Running shoes/light backpack. Basically a 1% item for the rich. Nothing to help people. How is a tailor going to make enough income to setup an industrial setup late game when you removed all its mid-game money making items and made Rugs require extra steps and costs?
I'm kind of disappointed at this patch it seems like you guys put out a half ass approach and told us to wait further for you to flesh it out. Why? Why can't you get the professions right. Hunting is a irrelevant skill and still is. You took away from tailoring to try to make hunting relevant. Tailoring is a irrelevant skill except for teching up and now you made it even more irrelevant with useless items it crafts and even more expensive ways to make the only things people wanted from Tailors "Rugs".Fish stew become irrelevant after day 2-3 when most servers start getting cooking and baking going. Its not useful if you have to both hunt and fish to make a fish recipe for cooking.
What are your goals do you want people to take Hunting, butchery, and tailoring? What exactly is it that you want.
Why did you not add Fish recipes for Tier 2 cooking? Baking? Adv cooking/baking? Is it really that hard to flesh out your stuff and release a complete patch that addresses the issues? We've been waiting for update since January.
What I want to know is this how the update systems will happen in the future? Will you keep adding stuff half way done and then ask us to continue to wait till you flesh it out? Or will you actually create complete systems that make logical sense?
