Gardening Mini Game

[Darklords]

I would like to suggest a small change to the current mini game.

If possible would you be able to put the number of tier of the resin in the corner of it, so for t30 a small t30 on 1 of the corners? to allow better memory during the mini game alot of the resins are same colour or shape which throws off people's memory's i feel that having these numbers on the corner will give people an easier way to memorize the tile.

If any 1 disagree feel free to voice opinion's.

I support this or any other idea that would improve gardening. May be add just a bit of time as well.

Gardening requires patience and keen eyesight.

This discriminates against blind nodders! Such unfairness!

Delete the cooldown every click and it would be a great mini game.
Or at least drastically lower it.

It really is the cooldown that makes gardening bad.

Agree.

Imagine it was slightly reduced before. I think perfect game could be done within 40-ish seconds (5 min rrt) which is still long compared to other games that can be done in about 10 sec (5 sec for trapping). Dust collection is random so perfect games still vary in length.

Honestly idk what's better. Making it easier would drop prices of oils that's way too much atm - on other hand might hurt those who garden.

50/50 on this one

Don't support. Gardening is super easy. If you can't remember the positioning of all shapes in such a small grid? Don't do it. Leave it to those of us that have a memory span longer than 30 seconds so we can actually earn money because others are incapable.

When I used to do gardening I found the first 10-15 pulls were always super easy, quite enjoyable, after that my patience dropped, I did sometimes make mistakes, i think it isn't making your brain worse, but my attention span to it decreases through boredom, I'm glad I won't ever do it again, but it's a good resource to do.

No support. If you can't remember a simple pattern then you shouldn't do it.

[Tip]

I don't have any more problem remembering or not remembering than other times in my life while gardening.... it's the amount of time it takes. I get bored cause I already know a few moves or I'm in a hurry to get to arena/chest on another toon.

The game memory game I remember growing up showed you all the cards at once for a very limited amount of time then tested your memory of them. This one is total guess and you have you to seek them out. I guess either way is testing "memory," but this one gets incorrect turns no matter what which makes the cool down moments between flips irksome in that way as well.

I'm not sure there is big reason to change it except that I don't see any purpose for the (frustrating) cool down moments: in the beginning you have no idea and are clicking blindly anyway and at the end you often already know the last four plus cards. *shrug*

You said it yourself. It is easy, which makes the cooldown even more annoying. I do enjoy the memory game.
But the cooldown is so annoying you tune out of the mini game.
RRT is more important anyway.
You gain more gold due to vege price but you lose way more RRT than any other resourcing, so it evens out. You're not really earning more.

I'll agree with you if it burned rrt at a slower rate.

I will buy 200 t30 veggies from you tomorrow. What town do want to meet me in at? Or would like to put them in the t2 AH on s2?

There are no veggies for sale on s2 hence the problem. Privatively or in the ah.

Please reconsider Jeff and fix this mini game or give Big T.

You've already been told it won't happen, and been explained why it won't happen. His horse is dead, stop beating it.

It is super easy for many who uses gardening macro/bot floating around. There was bans fot it before (lucurash I think)

Obviously people smarten up and paying attention to it now.
I know it's delicate topic and I'm risking a lot here but various macros are available already and they are non detectable.

Someone explained to me how it works and I was asked to jump on band wagon with it but I'm too paranoid (something to do with clicking at certain location and search for object and memorize it which mimic human actions makes it impossible for Admins to detects bla bla blah)

I'm not bringing macro topic (which most people use for various things anyway and it's as common as toon sharing) but maybe If cooldown was 1 sec which would bring minigame to 20-30 sec range (still 2-3 times longer than others) more people would actually give it a shoot. The reason for too few gardeners is minigame that is long and boring and more than 10+ minigames without "help" it's just too draining.

I'm not into gardening at all but if it was more in par with other resources I would give it a shoot. Worst can happen more people will do it and oils would drop a bit on S1 and actually appear on S2 (pale was right I checked - you can get anything on s2 but that)

Not pushing for "buff" but making it 2-3 times harder instead 4-5 is worth consideration.

.

You aren?t risking anything, however if you know ?various macros? available, that means multiple people are botting veggies. If you want mini game to be more rewarding, instead of considering it and keeping it quiet, you have to power to raise the price.
I?m sure many can be non-detectable, as Locuras somehow got away with arena thousands of matches and gardening for years

[Dawl]

To sum it all up though, gardening won’t be changed, and won’t be like hunting in your previous suggestion. It is good to have reward for those willing to endure to pain.

[Demons]

You complain ther are no veggies :[ garden then. Stop complaining you don’t want to. If you want the veggies bad enough you will resource them and stop complaining. Gardening is teh sucky tho
