I'm a solo. I've been steadily working toward enough gold/resources in my house to add a chancery so I can finally have heraldry.
Last night, I finally had all I needed, or I thought I did.
Placed chancery plans after a terrifying moment where I almost could find absolutely nowhere to place b/c I'm on a hill that apparently has too much of an incline. Immediately put in my wood, stone, and metal. Realized I didn't have a pick to build. Went back in my house to grab a pick. Come immediately back out after less than minute and the chancery has already decayed with all my resources in it. I'm kerfuffled.
Talk to GM. Turns out I had to put gold in immediately as well and that was the reason for the near instant decay.
There is nothing in game guiding the new TC builder on what must be put in in how much time! And the time to decay as someone who has never seen these menus panels before is completely unforgiving! And the fact that it can decay after a minute or two is insane for the new builder when there is no guidance offered in any panel of any sort.
I asked if I could get resources and plans back to try again. GM said no but let me know my mistake was not putting in gold immediately along with the resources. Appealed to LGM. He didn't answer. Fairly typical. So I just said nevermind to LGM and will regrind the wood again today (a hour or two of work I had already done). While I'm willing to do this as a longtime player, your new folks coming in for Sarducca are probably not going to be so understanding. Please update the TC building system with a guide for what needs to be put in and a panel showing how much time remaining to put in along with hopefully adding a bit more time than is currently given when it is initially erected. This was beyond frustrating after working so long and being so close to getting my chancery and then my heraldry as a solo player.
It is not like I don' t look for info. This info on how this initial build can decay superfast is not anywhere in the TC manual or many player made websites even. Players are just expected to go through this awful experience and figure it out by chatting with a GM?!
To TC building please add:
- Panel that pop ups immediately after building stating what needs to be put in to prevent decay along with a timer showing how long you have.
- A few extra minutes to get these resources put in. The timer is abysmally short.
I've got wood to farm now. Have a good one.
