Kami Levels

[ajsuk]

I dunno about anyone else but the low Kami tolerance levels since the merger are starting to annoy me..
It's the same deal all over the place so I think we need some changes made.. what does everyone else think??

sorry Jaice i think the Kami tolerance is fine as it is.
you may want to search for a foraging place not so overcrowded to let the Kami Tolerance fall down

Get yourself a fighter team and forage outside the cities

Big time agree with you and apologies to NA players
Tuesday: 2 days after merger, I joke on region in Grove:
"omg NA players are killing the kami tolerance" :

Nita nodes in grove was at zero.
This week more spot in grove went to zero as well.

Before merger, the kami tolerance in grove rarely had more than 1/5 off....

Harvesting some fiber yesterday, I speak with a NA player at fiber spot and he does tell me exactly the same thing: as far as he knew he never saw low kami tolerance in grove......till merger...

So it seems all was fine on Windemeer and Arispostle apart some very busy spot like dyron and Knoll of Dissent but now seems to be a worldwide problem...
Double the amount of players (which is very good imo) and it becomes very very hard to get mats (sometimes impossible)...

Definitly agree with you that the Kami has to be a bit more tolerant maybe the devs should give him more cookies

And the "move to another spot", "stop camping" answers are not good in that case as most of us harvest specific mats for specific needs: if nita nodes and shu fibers are the mats giving the best result for weapons, I a want to make weapons with mats giving lower results just becos of an angry Kami

I agree with murasaki. they are fine and put there for a reason: to prevent everyone from digging on the same easy spots all the time.

You're probably referring to dyron or thesos.
Well, look around. Dunes of Exile and Savage Dunes are big places and there are many harvesting spots with decent kami tolerance.

Remember kami tolerance reflects number of materials harvested during a certain amount of time in one area and not in the whole region!

The Fyros are just spoiled tbh (unbalanced?) with their 2 cities in lvl 150-200 regions, not to mention the water for safety nearby.

Oh yes don't get me wrong either.. I'm not against the merger in any way.. Just so ya know

And I was talking about everywhere..
Also some new people maybe stuck in the same regions and not be able to dig elsewhere.

Where is everywhere? here in Lagoons of Loria i've never seen Kami - T gone under 75%

Matis is suffering.

Bog and towerbridge mainly.. Also friends have moaned about other places they dig in.. can't remember many names I'm afraid..

I'm not so bothered about places they have always been high.. Just the places that have soared since merge.

I don’t trust anything that chortles and claps all the time. And those Fat black cats, pure Evil... EEEEEEEVVVVIIIIIIIILLLL!

Shtick aside, I think that perhaps a better way to handle the Kami tolerance would be to make it a personal tolerance for the nodes you harvest, instead of a group tolerance for the node that everyone harvests. For example, make the kami tolerance so that it is a personal bar that reflects the results of your own digging habits for a node, the other bars are related to what you do with that node and not what others have done (aside from depleted sources, where others could have harvested all the mats first).

Make, the Kami Tolerance where it is reduced faster than it is now, but only reduced for your personal mining, or over mining habits. Say, if you stay on the same 2-3 nodes for too long the kami show up quicker to lay the smack down, but some new guy fresh off the noobie island can come in behind you and harvest with his personal tolerance still good. This way, you don’t have those with the most free time, hampering the gaming experience for weekend harvesters, or those that can only harvest after work hours.

Personally, I don’t have a hard feeling either way, keep it the same, or change it to personal levels versus group node levels, either or. But the sources have become quite a bit more crowded since the merge, which makes it more difficult for those that can’t play most of the day, unlike me. A couple of guild mates and I have been looking for new sources to prospect and harvest, but the trick is finding someone willing to help you cut though the agro mobs while you scout, when they are only able to play a few minutes to an hour or so before RL calls them back.
