wanted to post my thoughts on something, the recent changes to pump jacks.
1= i think the timing on when they were changed was wrong, I think i remember Death saying in a public q&a a couple of weeks ago he was planning on changing it but said he would give at least a months notice, this didnt happen, it was changed a couple days after wipe, when a lot had already bought there stuff for the wipe, expecting it to work the way it did when purchased.
i understand sometimes things need to change, but i think on this occasion it was done wrongly.
2= The way it was written in the notes i also think was not clear to a lot, "Increase instancing process rate to improve server performance and decrease output" this to me is very unclear, and a stealthy way to say " we are removing 120 output ticks per hour from all pumpjacks" i am no programming wizz as many aren't.
3= the Nerf was way to much 120 ticks per hour is a huge nerf, i understand sometimes things need to be done for performance and id back that but not this huge a nerf, especially 2 days into a wipe when people have already payed out.
I love the rustez servers and i wont be going elsewhere, and i will continue to support this place but, i think on his occasion it was a badly timed thing, that needs to be addressed and maybe even, have the nerf reduced.
