Hey guys, with the news that Bukkit and Spigot will not be updated to 1.8 for several months, I present to you an idea which Andrew touched upon in chat yesterday: re-enable enchanting tables until the 1.8 update. We should keep the enchantment signs so if people want a specific enchantment, they can get it for more exp. I realize that this would likely crash the exp market so for the time being, exp should only come from mobs and not ores. So exp doesn't go down as much because it will become more scarce. And when the server updates to 1.8, enchant tables could simply be turned off. I'm gonna list pros and cons so people have something to go off. Pros: Cheaper xp prices Easier to get enchanted tools Less xp in the market Anvil combo market exists Enchanted Book market exists No need to fortune in the mining world Cons: Lower xp prices Tool prices crash Mining profits lower
I disagree. I really like our enchanting system. Also, when 1.8 does come out we would need to disable them again. -1
I'm not worried about having to disable them because they can be disabled at the same time the server updates.
What is the point in doing this till the update exactly? Why change it just cause we aren't updating?
Andrew floated the idea around in chat, and I vastly prefer the old enchanting system because anvils have a place in it.
I understand that, but I don't get why do it just because no update, and take it away when we get it. Why not just have it.
I like the way the current XP and enchanting system works and i cant see the point of changing something thats currently works great. So I don't think anything needs to be done about this. -1
+1 The enchanting system is horrible it costs so much exp for a little enchantment i mean really? let me give you an example efficiency1 exp price: 435, Silktouch exp price: 9000 exp... i cant even get 1000 in a day the price is way to high and i want the enchanting tables back when i was a builder it took me a week just go get 825 exp for a 30 lvl enchantment but these new players need to get 19,000 exp just for a max silktouch pickaxe the new system is not worth it i would rather have the old one back if the price of these lowers i would be happy to keep the system we have now.
I like the current system, and dont really want to change it... Everything works perfectly, plus do we need yet another EXP drop? Exp is low as it is.
Updates to enchanting have hurt ECC. In the beginning enchanting was supposed to be a rare commodity that required a lot of time and effort. Now it is a joke.. everyone has max everything..builders...everyone. X market is a joke...enchanting as a whole was ruined many updates ago. I wish we could go back to when it cost 50 levels...no anvil...and took forever to get max anything. People where proud and excited when they were enchanting or frustrated and devastated when they got blast pro 4.. that was what made it fun..throw pvp in mining world and no Xp from ores and now we are cooking. Well now that my rant is over...it can stay as it is..idk either way.
-1 I like this current system. It's neat and orderly, i dont find it hard at all to make exp. Just a few SG games or a couple minutes in the farms can get you the money you need to buy 1000exp orbs from our market. Also fishing and mining world help alot once you get a good rod or a silk pick with a fortune one.
"let's take this thing that was changed months before the update and change it back because it takes months for us to update"
