Do you Like the Lostsoul/Soul Currency?

[AdamForte649]

TBH, I don't really like the lostsoul or soul currency, I'd rather prefer the basic classes and gold as the currency like in bastion, it gave more of a feel to herocraft IMO. What do you guys think about the LS/Soul Currency, Since this was implented a lot of players have left but for many other reasons aswell. If there is a map reset, I don't think I would like to go through LS again...

I liked the gold basis for the economy, but that is just me.

Oh in regards to your LS, I liked it back in Zeal when you could only be a combat spec or a crafter spec >:]

Omg, Yes pls.

It will not happen, the server is evolving. I do not think there is a chance it will ever go back to Zeal days.

If this where to happen, Crafter specs would need to be the exclusive source of what they do. Only smiths would make weapons and armor. Only farmers can harvest/make food. Could provide an interesting system where people kill for souls then use them to buy supplies from crafters. I don't see this on the main server, but could be an interesting thing for the adventure map or a "Pure RPG" map (This would be something far in the future.

I just don't like lostsoul and tbh I don't think i ever will. I really like the old days.. really gave me a feel to herocraft as a newb :3

I don't know souls work, but I do know gold was the best currency.

As for lost soul I don't know how that is either, but I do know I prefer it warrior,rouge,caster,healer. Not just master crafter and you can play anything.

 

[Kimsgrim]

I preferred gold as well. Gave it a purpose. It drives me up the wall to mine several diamond seams to receive zero souls, only to kill a baby slime a moment later and receive a large soul.

Bring back gold!!!!!

I'm fine with bring back gold as a currency item, but I don't think it should be the MAIN source of money. An economy entirely based off gold makes isn't fair for classes that don't mine (Yes I'm only talking about farmer ).

Side Note: I hate giving artificial value to things. If you want gold to be worth more, give it actual uses. Giving it value "just because" is lazy and doesn't make for a good economy.

 

[Kainzo]

We wont be bringing back gold as the main currency.

It is possible it will be an additive currency.

If DHX bought Gold ingots as well as shards for souls that would help a lot.

I agree. Maybe in order to balance it out make shards worth more (as they're more rare? rair?) and make gold relatively cheap, this mean both could be a valid way of earning money.

 

[Kainzo]

Well, what i wanted to do - increase the amount that soul shards grant by a little (1-2c) and then introduce DHX buying Gold Ingots at 1c a pop.

As a test run for mineral currency their could be a 'build up' event where the admins set up a mineral exchange on the floor above the soul exchange to purchase our gold, diamonds, and emeralds (could go towards building a PVE arena constructed out of the proceeds). It would be a great way to collect real data and feed back as to how effective adding gold to the list of currency would and/or will be.

lol i was writing this before Kainzo responded

What about the basic classes, Will they ever make a return?
Edit: Will gold be super rare now?

If there's enough content for them to be viable and enough skills to make them fun - yeah. Adding in a multi-tiered systems makes things difficult.

We're already having difficulties planning how to adjust mobs to go from 1-20 ... and then 1-60 ... so we'll have to somehow make this work.

I agree, soul shards just seems like its not a dependable way to get money from any of the professions and money is hard to come by now... the economy needs a boost too I feel... no merchant store buying/selling much etc...

I was about to make about 1000s in a day from mining....
