Hey guys,
I was wondering. With forestry on the horizon and having read all the articles about it, how do you guys currently feel about it?
I am personally quite excited for the “events” that can happen again, making the skill more than just a afk skill. I specifically remember back when we had the evil tree spirit and such I’d get really excited even though it wasn’t that intense or complex. To me it provided a nice break of pace while training the skill.
Curious what you guys think?
Personally I am indifferent on it. I just want the skills to be afk at a reasonable exp per hour. As far as I can tell all of the non combat skills are done out of necessity and not enjoyment. You sometimes have a nice conversation with randos while doing some skills, but that is infrequent and the only highlight. I have been taking a break this past month so maybe I am just a little tired of the grind right now.
Yeah I do agree that often the skills tend to be a stepping stone to the actual part of the content you want to get to.
Having said that I think it also depends on what you want to get out of the game. For most it’s doing X quest, having X gear or killing X monster. Its more rare for people to want to be able to chop redwood for example as a goal, because reaching it is very “boring” to most and it doesn’t amount to as much considering it’s “prestige/bragging rights, value, score”
Maybe that is part of why those skills are stepping stones. The end is much more hollow and boring compared to the learning curve of a combat skill which has this high skill ceiling facilitated by the bosses for example.
