  @BenTiger I agree with most of what you’ve proposed above, but personally I find I need more Field Guides as opposed to (S.O.S) Ministry Manuals.

  Oops. I meant 10 S.O.S Manual = 1 Defense Against the Dark Arts Book. Didn't notice in time to edit the post.

  @hpwulola can you please speak to the Devs about increasing the number and frequency of DADA books? The rarity of DADA is even higher than Restricted Spell Books and the SOS nodes that require them require wayy more DADA than RSB both in SOS Training and Combat Training. We could plan out our Profession trees based on RSB, but we have no way to do this with the current DADA release schedule..

  
  

  The most important asset added into SOS training is the “Pario Vestige” or the trace charm, but Proficiency is bugged and we have no idea on the plans on how the team is going to fix it and thus are all hesitant to even advance SOS Training even if we weren’t DADA gated. I mean... it’s probably the bottom of the list in importance, but how is the explanation of the Trace Charm still showing up with Greenhouse Charm details “spells provided”. The Trace Charm is infinitely more impactful for players

  

  
  

  than the Greenhouse or Inn charm, please focus on it.

  
  

  I know I’m screaming into a void, but can you Please again request a currency exchange program? Us Day 1 and Beta players have literally 10k scrolls and >1000 Red Notebooks. This is after maxing all Professions, and with the new SOS training requiring RSB we can’t event do max other professions without preventing progress. It’s been 18 years since Edward Castronova’s “On Virtual Economies” paper on Everquest and all forward thinking games shops have economists on hire to keep the in game economy in balance now... Even HPHM’s system makes more sense. If it’s going to be another year until we get new Combat Training, please press the devs on this plea from the community.. every single post complains about it.

  
  

  I wasn’t to follow this all up with a big thank you (lol) we know this is not easy and SOS Training was a very big and fun addition to the game. We know you’re trying, keep it up.

  Or simply the ability to buy the books?

  No way should any purchasing of books be allowed. Providing that sort of advantage to those who are willing to pay is what ruins games.

  @hpwulola @HPWUblue @HPWUrobert

  I am making another request to look into additional ways to award DADA and RSB.

  Since the S.O.S. skill tree was released, you have been slowly making it to where it has become a necessity, so the need to the books has increased.

  • Mastery from leveling was completely removed, so you need the S.O.S. skills to have the same mastery that you used to have from leveling (this has been verified as a fact, even though non one from the hpwu team will admit it).
  • The odds of getting rare gifts has been drastically decreased (it is even more rare to get exceptional gifts with over 40k appraisal than it was pre-S.O.S. tree)
  • The trace charm has been nerfed/"fixed" multiple times (was 10 Emergency spawns, then 4, now 3), so the investment is charm skills does not make them worth it any more, so those of us that invested in the skills are now just feeling like you forced us to waste books that we can't get back without waiting for events.
  • After a year of doing the same event tasks over and over with the only changes being increased difficulty and time required, due to the required number of exp/returned images, etc., events are becomming boring and monotonous. They feel like a chore, rather than a fun event, at this point.

  Honestly, at this point in the game, there are so many bugs. We have lost a majority of the players, due to failed "fixes", lack of ability to correct the bugs, and lack of support from the @HPWUTeam. Unless something is done to make the game feel less like we are required to complete boring monotonous chores 4 times a month, just to make minor progress in the skill trees, we will just keep losing players.

  Players need achievable goals, in order to keep the game fun and interesting. Keeping everyone trapped into waiting on events to make any progress will just keep scaring players away. Over 5 years to complete the S.O.S. tree is just plain ridiculous, especially since it has become an essential part of the game. Also, what ever happened to the original advertisement that players would be able to master multiple professions? That is an impossible goal to any new players, now.

  Yes, please. At a min. if i could give scrolls for rsbs and red books for dada that'd be nice as well. Especially if next profession lesson plans don't/won't need red books I certainly won't need the 2.143 I have of them currently.
