the museum's psychic burden

[shukra]

in spirit of the inevitable museum objectiongasm, i want to offer my own pet-peeve about it:

it is hard on the mind to evaluate a lot of artifacts.

it's not with joy i hit that 5artifact button anymore, it's tiring.
the design error is that player attention can do that. i can raid 1000 bases because exercising my tactical mind is awesome.
....but this is worse than accounting, sheesh.

easy fix: reduce the amount of artifacts we grind through by a factor of 10; make them harder to make.

Or you know, remove them... or at least don't add them to war as planned.

I had stopped crafting artifacts because it is so mind-numbingly, soul-crushingly tedious. I had 35,000 fragments on all my accounts. Then King Tut's event happened and I started crafting like crazy. It took me 4 hours on my main account to use up all my fragments. Then I started on my 2nd account. I got it down to 10k. My 3rd and 4th accounts still have 15k fragments each. I just couldn't face crafting any more artifacts. To say I agree with the OP is the understatement of the week.

If anyone is interested, I only stop to look at an artifact if it has 6% or 11% boosts in all 5 slots. Then I only keep it if the boosts are useful and fit with my existing artifacts. I'm all in on fighter hitpoints (+32% currently, can take it to +35) so any weapon has to have at least an 11% fighter hitpoint boost in the first or 2nd slot for me to keep it. I have similar requirements for the other types, so I rarely craft anything I can use.

What's irksome, but not the least bit surprising, is that they now gave us double the artifacts to keep track of without so much as five extra free storage spaces to use. That, and the fact they didn't streamline this tedious, unwieldy "craft 5 artifacts - hit next 5 times - hit back to go to storage- hit sell- pick 5 artifacts- hit yes" process one iota. No marking artifacts for sale as they pop up. Or even better, having all 5 appear at once with a mark for sale button.

Minor quality of life fixes don't equal dollars I suppose.

thank you; i feared coming off as a snotty elitist.

Well said. I am so done with i didn't even bother with king tut's event, and am walking away two war hits from now. Probably in about an hour.

 

[shukra]

this issue is redoubled with the war hall.

 

[Tsamu]

Yes, instead of the lame "Tap to continue", they could give us 2 buttons, "Keep" and "Sell". If we hit sell, we shouldn't get any additional screen.

Just. Frustrating. I stopped crafting after I found some good +11.
My mind will explode if I take more time in the museum.
Anyways I request for more blueprints!
What's the highest boost/reduce in world war hall? I've only seen a couple +/-3s.

 

[Alexey]

It’s +/- 6%

Aight, thanks Alexey
