Removal of Recipes???
First of all, I think what matters more than the removal itself, but WHY did you remove it. Its grinding for the white hair achievement and a cosmetic and yet you restrict players on testing how to get their white hair achievement recipe faster, in what ways, which monsters to grind, which items to nab.
Yes this causes conflict on party quest completion but its going to be the same story when you release the game when people want to get achievement points for hairstyles/colour/cosmetics. Now people that weren’t prepared for this and grinded all of their items that they needed, there are no more recipes to sell?
This is how you waste beta testers time and you don’t even inform them WHY you did it. WHY did you change something, WHY did you remove it, WHY?
If you can’t answer why or prep before hand an inform players about the patch then you must not care about the players who work hard to achieve something though you can preach about your hidden classes from attaining enough adventure achievement points etc.
Its seriously a cosmetic and if you didn’t want your beta testers to focus on cosmetic achievement, then say so, don’t introduce the recipes into the game, or inform players before you piss them off. People seriously spend their time that doesn’t magically come back to do things in a game that make them happy and you just probably made a good chunk really sad.
This is a huge disappointment to the ToS Development Team for not being able to inform beforehand and/or why they remove items (for the future too).
Imagine if someone took something away from you, wouldn’t you want to know beforehand? Or would you rather they rip it from your hands in that moment and walkaway where you can do nothing about it. This is how most gamers feel when they dedicate their time to something and you change/remove it without notice.
P.S.
Apparently there is a bug with repairing equipment where it costs too much???
How are players supposed to even defeat monsters continuously if their gear literally breaks a speed too fast for them to earn and buy other materials they may need or want. Please see into this.
