Manufacturing Changes, interveiw with Lahar

When GoonZu's Closed beta was released two years ago there were so many aspects about it that made it so unique to other MMORPGs out there. The biggest diffrence that it still carries to this day is the fact that 90% of items in the game are player made. Players build their characters to make certain items, and it is a challenging quest to become the best at whatever item you choose to make. With recnet patch updates it seems like this hard journey that many players have come to accomplish is going to be seen as pointless because becoming an artisan seems so easy to become. So to clear up some of the worries of this I interviewed Head GM of Global GoonZu, Lahar.

Gz Times: So the first Question I have for you is, Why is Ndoors making such a drastic change in the way PD's work?

Lahar: Because we want more people to make items easily and simply.we want to take down the starting point to make it easy.

Gz Times: Are you guys worried that a lot of players are threating to quit because you are making the game too easy?

Lahar: Of course, we are worried every time we change something, but we believe it will make people like the game more and we want more people play the game without stress.

Gz Times: So for the players who have already worked hard on their PDs, what will happen to that hard work?

Lahar: it won't harm their work, they can keep themselves as PDs.this change isn't to get rid of PDs

Gz Times: Well there is word that dex and luck wont have any effect on PDs, is this true?

Lahar: it means there is no dex and luck requirement for making items..Dex is influenced highly to make good itemsLuck is for getting good drop itemsIf you want to make something special you need high DEX.

Gz Times: So, for the players who built their character upon dex and luck for PD, will they get a chance to reset their stats when the patch comes into effect?

Lahar:yes, everyone will reset their stat and skill everyone will be given the chance to re-distribute the stat and skill points again.

Gz Times: That is good. Now can you please explain the "No more skill reducing when you read books." part of the patch?

Lahar: Okk, that means only for manufacturing books, you can read them without spending skill points, so you can save your skill points and invest in other skills

Gz Times: So this will only effect skills like weapon and armor Manufacturing?

Lahar: yes, only manufacturing.

Gz Times: Will there be a cap on how many books a player can read?

Lahar: there are only 30 books, everyone can read them all without restrictions

Gz Times: So a player can read 30 books in all manufacturing skills?

Lahar: yes, and then it's up to player. Some people can make more items and get more manufacture. exp to level up their skill.

Gz Times: Will every player that reads 30 books be on the artisan list?

Lahar: yes, but there are only 30 slots, so highest PDs will list first.

Gz Times: So, will items still have a skill level requirement?

Lahar: yes.

Gz Times: In the patch update details it says "Requirement for reading books is depends on your level." can you explain?

Lahar: It means, for example, you are lvl 10 then you can read up to beginners book, but if you are lvl 30. then you can read the adv book, make sense?

Gz Times: yes, but a player still has to read all 30 books in order, 10 beg, 10 inter, and 10 adv, correct?

Lahar: yes

Gz Times: Will the rate of PG and MG be harder to get?

Lahar: no, same, or even easier depending on what the player does

Gz Times: what junk items will players get when they fail?

Lahar: Right now when you fail to manufacture you lose all mats you used right? so we change to get Junk item instead of losing everything. When you fail, you will get Junk item, you can think it is poor item. YOu can tin tin it, then you will get back some mats from it, isn't it good?

Gz Times: Yes, i think that is good. so it will be an item called "junk item"

Lahar: i just made it, can be changed by other name, something like failure or whatever.

Gz Times: ok, well i think that cleared a lot up about the patch. Does Ndoors plan on making anymore drastic changed is the games system like this in the near future?

Lahar: we will make new HG

Gz Times: oh cool, hope to hear more about that later. Is there anything else you wanted to add about that Manu Changes?

Lahar: i know many ppl worry about it, i think the reason why ppl worry is because they don't understand fully and right. i hope all misunderstanding is gone by this interview

Gz Times: me too, thanks for the time to answer these questions

Lahar: my pleasure

Thats is :P and keep visitng my blog guys i always post cool stuff :P
