Perfect Strike System for Resources also feels less rewarding

Hello Wicked team,

First time posting.

The new Perfect Strike System for Resources seems like a great idea but it feels like you’ve been discipline for not being good. For example, with the old system it always took two strikes on iron to mine it (Using a silver pickaxe). However with the new system it could sometimes take 3 strikes if you are bad or don’t want to engage with the system.

On the other hand it feels less rewarding, when you get a perfect strike and you only get one iron and it still took you two hits to mine it.

Could I suggest that if you choose not to swing or if you are bad at timing than you would mine at the same rate as the old system prior to this change.

Also if you land at least one perfect strike you a guaranteed additional rewards based on how many perfect strikes you hit or you instantly finish mining that resource.

Right now they system doesn’t feel any more rewarding when landing that perfect strike and it feels like the system is forcing you to engage with it so that it won’t take you longer to mine that resource.

Thanks guys,

Lirus

Yeah, getting 2-3 perfect and still walking away with 1 wood or silver or 1 chipped coal feels bad.

They should also have fishing give 2 fish by default if they won’t implement a timing system for it.

Haven’t even gotten that far. Was doing my homeowners review for the refined patch. Now I hear this? Yikes! Lots of good ideas executed poorly so far.

Well, the inplementations are tentative. It is early access and they will be refined via feedback as with any early access title.

I don’t expect perfect implementations from a 90 person studio in early access.

Especially when they are already working overtime in evenings and even weekends.

Gamedev is super time intensive unless you have larger teams, and even then 200+ person teams can take 5+ years.

Baldur’s Gate 3 at 400+ people still took Larian nearly 6 years to release, and when it released Act 2 and 3 had not been tested on early access so they were super buggy and incomplete.
