381'000 Gold - in 1 hour:

[Dius]

So started testing out the new features with 9.71 patch.

 

In particular, Rear Admiral missions.

 

 

The fight was both fun, engaging & somewhat challenging. 

 

The final payout of approx 381'000 Gold for a 1hr mission I think is pretty good indeed.

 

A good PvE step in the right direction.

My glassbowle just told me, shipprices will skyrocket.

[Slamz]

The only problem is that it was not, in fact, very challenging. It was basically just a bot beatdown where you were never once in any danger.

 

Which is fine, I guess -- I mean that's the nature of PvE across all games, pretty much -- but 381,000 in one hour with no risk and hardly any challenge is going to cause a lot of inflation once everyone starts doing it.

[Dius]

Lol I did say 'somewhat challenging' 

 

In any case you have to compare to what we had prior to 9.71. This is better, much better...

Am having fun, making bank actually enjoying PvE.

Great for gameplay fun, horrible for the (already struggling) ingame economy. With these payouts, how much am I supposed to charge for the increasingly harder to craft ships? 1 million for a basic Bellona? 2 million?

 

I know that the economy is not the biggest headache for the devs and their roadmap, but increasing the already rampant inflation in NA is not helping

640.000 in 20 minutes

 

Bought one trader Snow full of 1280 Compass wood and sold it in next port for 1.920.000 Gold - I beat the OP. And Brogsitter is right in this case. *dropmic*

And here I am, barely able to rub 2 gold pieces together.

And yes I realize I suck at the game lol.

Not challenging?

Try doing a Rear Admiral epic event with 6 ships

Yeah, I've learned that 6+ = 12 or gtfo.

[Hethwill, the Red Duke]

The real question is... what are you going to spend it on. Because gold on its own is meaningless.

Not when you dont have any.

Thank you for proving that the last patch is perfectly fine and all the 'I can't sealclub npc's by the thousands' whiners just need to get gud

Indeed, if nothing else it is fun.
