Research Assistants IV

• Itemization

This is my 4th posting on Research Assistants. If you have not read all 64 pages of the marathon topic , you may have missed some info.

SoE wants to add Research Assistants to EQ2. These will be NPCs which will take one of your existing spells and upgrade its tier after a specified amount of time. That time varies by the tier of the spell. If you have an Adept III version of a Tier 8 spell, then the Master version of that spell might take a month or more to research.

What is known about these Research Assistants so far:

• Each account (not character) can be researching one spell at a time.
• The spell is immediately scribed when you receive it. There is no physical scroll that you receive from the Research Assistant, which means there will be no way to transfer, sell, or transmute the spells once they’re finished being researched.
• Research Assistants won’t be part of Station Marketplace.  Research Assistants are definitely part of the base game.
• We are leaning towards making this a house item, not a guild hall ammenity.
• If you manage to acquire a spell through tradeskill/drop that you are currently researching, you will be able to stop the research and apply that progress (time) to another another spell.
• Research Assistants are attainable after level 20.
• Time to research at lower levels will be scaled based on the amount of time we see people spending in those level ranges.
• There is no quest line, no additional component because if we wanted to award something via quest, then we would do it via quest. Quests are extrordinarily time intensive to do on the content side. We do a lot of quests. We will continue to do a lot of quests, but this isn’t the right setting for them.
• This doesn’t encourage people to log out. Much like vitality accrues while you’re online or offline, researchers will continue to work regardless of whether you’re online or off.

There has been a TON of feedback in the thread. Different viewpoints include:

• If there are spells which do not get upgraded after T6 (each class has at least one important spell that does not get upgraded after levels 52-55 or so), then T8 versions should be added.
• Why not just go back and fix the mechanics of the game so that Masters are Smart Loot from levels 1-60. Then grouping and raiding Kingdom of Sky and Desert of Flames would yield enough of these Masters for group/raid members to resolve the issue.
• Researched Masters should have a platinum, status, or void shard cost, or at the very least require a lengthy quest or rare material. The void shard cost in particular would keep Master spells in the realm of spells acquired by grouping and raiding. Solo and casual players do not need master spells.
• Use a system similar to PvP master transcription. You have a master you can’t use, you can trade it in and transcribe it to another master.
• Use a system similar to deity altars. Sacrifice items until you have gained enough faction to get your master.
• Make it so if you want a Master, you have to give the researcher a different Master to draw the power from. This would have the effect of boosting the value of worthless master spells like Ranger Hawk Dive and Stream of Arrows and lower the astronomical cost of masters like Summoner/Enchanter pets and Fighter Taunts.
• Alternately, make it so you need a Crystallized Mana (produced from transmuting Fabled items including Masters) to get a Master.
• Making Master spells available with no cost will damage the game economy. Already, there is very little to spend Platinum on. Collectible rares, Master spells, Void Shards (eliminated for sale in GU51), NO TRADE Armor (via selling looting rights), and Mythical Updates are some of the few items that folks with stockpiled platinum pieces can spend them on. Platinum has become so devalued partly because of the proliferation of instanced raid and group zones in TSO. 98% of the desirible loot in TSO is NO TRADE.
• Some people feel that these Researched Masters should come from Tradeskillers completing a complex questline and requiring very rare materials.

From dreamshadow:

On PvP servers we have transcribers that can transcribe a Master spell of the opposite alignment into one of your own alignment, or even neutral alignment. This has a significant cost associated with it and requires that you have in your possesion a Master level spell (not ad3 or w/e) Implementing something like this seems MUCH easier and its already been in the game long enough to prove it does not cause any kind of imbalance. People on PvP already buy masters off the broker and “flip” them with alts on the other side until they get a master they can use or get stuck with a neutral spell they can no longer flip.

Kendricke made the point about platinum inflation even better:

An average run through Veeshan’s Peak can net a raid force more than 250pp per run.  An average run through Protector’s Realm can bring in more than 120pp.  Even though my guild only raids three or four nights a week, we bring in roughly 1300-1500pp a month just through raid drops and sales – and we don’t sell Mythical spots or no trade drops, either.  If we did, we could easily bring in double the coin we’re already making. What, then, should all of those raiders spend all of that coin on?  Seriously.  There haven’t been any real tradeable raid drops since Kingdom of Sky with the exception of Masters.  Do you think Masters are overpriced at 200-300pp?  I personally have around 700pp on my main account right now.  I know raiders who have ten times what I have.  I know raid guilds which have tens of thousands of platinum.  What do they spend that coin on? When you remove rare Masters as something to save coin for, what do you think happens to the prices on the rest of the Masters up for sale?  What do you think happens to collectibles?  What do you think happens to the few worthwhile rare drops?  Gage is dead on here – the prices will rise.

and a perspective post by Kendricke:

“I mean, why do you think the same five guys make it to the final table of the World Series of Poker EVERY SINGLE YEAR? What, are they the luckiest guys in Las Vegas?”  -Mike McDermott, Rounders . How do the same players on each of the servers come to have so many masters with each expansion?  What, are they the luckiest players on their server?  As Gage indicates, there is much more to gaining masters than just dumb luck.  You think the average player even knows the zones which have smart loot enabled?  Do you think they understand which targets are even capable of dropping a level 65 master – named or not?  Do you think the average player knows which masters are being undervalued on the broker?  Do you think the average player knows how much to price a master on the broker for if there are no current copies of that spell available?  Do you think the average player knows how incredibly easy it is to make coin in this game…without ever stepping foot into a heroic or epic level dungeon? In an MMO, skill is defined as much more than just the ability to punch buttons in the right order.  The knowledge behind the game’s mechanics is as much a part of the concept of “skill” as anything else we have to contend with.  It’s that same skill which enables better players to earn masters. Sure, there’s some level of luck involved.  Just as somebody and bumble their way through a poker tournament, so too can someone luck out and find themselves in the right place at the right time and watch a lotto roll go the right way so they can pick up a master that they were around.  Of course, what we fail to acknowledge is that they were actually out in that right place at that right time in the first place…probably trying to “earn” more experience, achievements, or (wait for it)…gear or spell upgrades.

and further from Kendricke:

I have little problem with the concept of guaranteed paths to specific rewards.  I wholly embrace the void shard system.  I love the concept of tradeskill advancement through experience as opposed to advancement through skill-up chances.  I very much enjoy quests which provide multiple awards to choose from.  I favor faction merchants. The common denominator is that each of the above systems relies upon effort and achievement to earn rewards.  The proposed research assistant, as currently explained, does not.  It has no coin cost and no apparent pre-requisites save for levelling to 20. Add in a significant coin cost/status cost/guild level requirements to acquire the researcher and then a per-use cost which is not insignificant to the value of the spells being requested and you’d see a great many of the current complaints simply evaporate.

I promise Kendricke is not paying for my usage of all his quotes, he just has a good overall perspective on all this. 😉

From Kirstie :

I wanted to say that the feedback has been great, especially all the suggestions we’ve been getting. We’ve been reading all the feedback on this, both the possitive and the negative and we’ll be thinking about it as we go forward. So please, keep the ideas coming.  How would you want to see this in the game to interact with?  How do you want to acquire the Research Assistant?  If you could help him or her out to research just a little faster what would you think it would be fun to do? Would you want to see this feature expanded beyond just spells in the future?

and further from Kirstie …

A researcher for armor or quests isn’t something we are persuing. But I wanted to point out that this idea isn’t quite as totally ground breaking as some might think.  Consider some of these ideas: What if instead of having to find people to buy your items, you just gave it to an NPC and they brokered it for you (and maybe they could charge a small markup fee for their services). What if you could just stick items into a mailbox and they’d appear in your friends mail instead of having to go and meet up with that friend at a pre-defined location. Imagine if we added an NPC that just went out and harvested stuff for you! What if every hour you gained a vitality bonus that let you level a little bit faster for a while. Each one of these ideas and many others were a brand new concept in the EverQuest universe at some point after EverQuest 1 launched.  So while each new idea can be a bit scary at first, most don’t run down a path that is the worst case scenario. That being said, the feedback on what you don’t want to see a research assistant to be is just as valuable as what you would like to have as a feature, so keep it coming!

Hi All, I wanted to thank you all for your feedback. The issues brought up here have led to some really interesting and at times passionate discussions within the dev team on the role of spells and spell upgrades in EQII as we discussed the feedback to the intial post. We’ve also learned a lot about what type of information we need to present when first talking about a new feature in the game, and we’ll be working on that as we move ahead with new features for EQII in the upcoming year. We don’t have a solid date for when you’ll see the first iteration of the research assistants on the test server, but when we do I hope that you’ll take the time to try them out and see what we’ve come up with. Again, I appreciate everyone’s participation and the time taken to give feedback on this idea. – Kirstie

I had to laugh at this suggestion from Foolsfolly :

What if it was a gigglegibber researcher? Hand him an adept3 spell and 5 plat, and roll the dice. 20% chance the spell being destroyed. 20% chance of the plat being destroyed. 20% chance of both being destroyed. 20% chance of getting back both of your items. 20% chance of getting your master. You can only roll once per week, so odds are you’ll be able to get 1 master every 5 weeks…and lose some plat in the process.

Most people only “need” 6 to 8 masters.  Maybe even less.  Your big heals, your big buffs, your big nukes, your marquee spell.  Once you have those, you can purchase the remaining “crappy” spells from the broker rather than waiting on the Research Assistant and then… Woops you’re fully mastered in under a year. When primarily raiders had fabled/masters you didn’t see solo/heroic content scaled to their level of gear. What you should be concerned with is the obvious: As soloers get closer and closer to raid quality gear, solo content and everything else will become closer and closer to raid difficulty. Scripts, AEs, control effects on solo and heroic mobs. You used to be able to do heroic content in full mastercrafted, some treasured, adept 1’s and your best abilities adept 3. As soon as they made plat, fabled and masters available to soloers/duoers at a much faster rate than any expansion previous they had to, of course, scale the difficulty of the mobs. You complain about altering your playstyle to be capable, well that is because SOE has rewarded soloers above and beyond their means. If you can solo and attain fabled gear/masters then obviously soloing will be geared to that level of progression. People already complain about hard content is, yet they clamor and beg for items that will undoubtedly lead to future content being made even more difficult. This will just make content in the next expansion substantially harder. Like I said previously, be careful what you wish for.

I hate to make a very very long post even longer, but now Clockwork Gamer has chimed in:

An Attempt at Economic Stimulus in EverQuest II by Clockwork Gamer: …and now SOE wants to increase the standard to Master I. Oh, they’re not saying they want to increase the standard to Master I. However, what other possible message could we possibly take from this new concept. If everyone has access to free Master I spells, the standard over time will inevitably once again raise the minimum standard. The average spell quality will continue to raise from Adept III to Master I across the board – not just for raiders and 40 hour a week players, but for everyone. After all, there’s no cost being referenced by the SOE proposition thus far, and without any cost save for time, there’s no real cost at all. The short term gains would be outstripped by the long term difficulty standards. Players who feel the game is too difficult today – the ones who seem most attracted to the idea of “free masters” would be the same ones upset in a year or two that the game is suddenly even harder than before. Those players who today feel the game is very challenging with all Adept III’s can at least increase their spells to Master I quality over time, through effort and coin gain. In a world where the Master I is itself the standard, there is no way to improve upon the spell quality – casual players will have no additional upgrade path in that regard.

Think research assistants are far off in the future? Guess again. Lodrelhai unearthed eq2ui_mainhud_researcher.xml which looks like this:

8 thoughts on “ Research Assistants IV ”

LOL. This is absolutely hilarious. We have to go out of our way to do writs, we have to make a concerted, time consuming effort to make coin. Yet raiders get showered in status and plat doing something they WANT to do then throw a child’s hissy fit if something even remotely equitable is introduced. Right, the imbalance and insult is ONE master a month, not the “thousands of plat” per month gained from raiding. Classic.

i know what you mean zurendor. actualy iam rider from semi hc/semi casual guild. we raid 4x week with pretty nice progress (farming trak+byzola from rok and whole tomb) but i (and 99% of my guildies) dont think that researcher is bad thing. our main templar has 2 toons (monk+bruiser) with stopped xp gain at lvl 70 and he is farming poet palace 2x times EVERY SINGLE DAY almost 2 yrs for lvl 59 unyielding benediction master spell. this spell was never seen on broker and even he is willing pay 3k plats for this, he cant coz this spell is unavaiable. so researcher is damn good idea. for those whos complaing bout it i say i dont give a flying f*ck u like or not. until soe give us smart loot on masters i say yea for research assistant.

Hmm, well why not use Platinum as the “fuel” and the more you put in the faster the research goes, so say you want that Ice Bolt in 24 hours then you gotta shove in 400p and the research assistant will work their ass off, othewise if you don’t have much plat and can wait the research takes a week or more.

You can already buy masters with plat, and there are few masters over 300p except pets, class-defining abilities etc.

;I think the point is, participation in the game should be required to get Master spells. Hailing an NPC and then hailing it again 30 days later and getting any Master spell you want (and being able to repeat this process 12 times a year) doesn’t make sense to me. At least require a quest.

I personally like the idea of the research assistant and i dont think htat you should have to use plat as fuel. I have a lvl 80 toon but can hardly get into groups/raids because of my class. Obviously when you first start the game you dont know what is most wanted in the raids and whatnot so not everyone can do it. I dont have a million plat like everyone else seems to, and i am a bruiser. Most the master ca’s cost atleast 200 plat for me, and i just dont have that kind of plat. . . i completly agree with Zurendor’s comment, and if people dont want to just be able to hail an npc once and then hail them again in a month and then know a master then maybe they should make it use some kind of fuel, like another master you dont need. Then you could make it go faster with the research by adding the plat if you happen to be one of the many that has a billion plat. . .

Basically by marking the masters up so high, it almost forces people to raid, or save the plat forever to just get ONE master and then start saving again. .

or even you could use a bunch of other adept 3’s as fuel if you dont have a master book you dont need

Remember folks – this is still a concept a ways from being finalized. Everyone is getting their panties in a bunch over something that could be totally different (remember the rumors of an archeologist class that because harvest bot amenities?). Give it time.

Any fool can acquire adept III skills easily. In most cases, the difference between that and a Master isn’t tremendous. Honestly, most people want the “fame” of being Mastered out. More power to ya, friends. In the end, there are THOUSANDS of players that are mastered out and then some. How is sharing that with a few others a bad thing? To be honest, it is not like they are stealing your money – sure, you might not get the outrageous amount being charged for masters on brokers, but if your guild is earning 1k plat per raid and you are raiding 3-4 times a week, seriously. You really need to complain with a nickel and dime?

Yes, Masters are the biggest broker money-maker. Yes, this will hurt “some” economies, but as stated several times above, when you have more plat than god, what do you spend it on when you are already mastered out? Sounding like a bit of greed? You betcha…

Folks, this is a game. If SOE wants to give one aspect to the non-HC players, just let it go. You can trust that there will be something out there you will be able to jones on either now or in the future that will have you forgetting this measly little “Master” complaint. Play on.

Research Assistants were set in stone the moment they were announced. There was never any intention to listen to or make any changes based on the feedback. I have my sources. Unfortunately it casts a huge shadow of doubt on any other feedback threads that other EQ2 devs might create. “Is this just lip service?” will be the typical reaction to those types of threads now. It really made the development team look bad just when they need our trust the most.

And yes, I do think MMO developers should *try* to earn the trust of some of their players. MMOs are a funny thing, and as a business, they have a higher failure rate than new restaurants, but with a much higher investment cost. Making an MMO balanced is one of the hardest things you can do.

Fixed Internally Unable to claim researched mount Discussion in ' Resolved ' started by Giavannia , Dec 3, 2023 . Giavannia New Member I have researched the 1st mount in in zimarra and it says completed and will let me click on the claim button, but nothing happens, and it does not complete? This is from the Mount researcher Rusqik in Sanctuary. Rushd Active Member Myself and another Guildy having same problem. When hitting the claim button it forced the entire interface for that researcher to go dark grey and locked the scroll wheel. Updated Darq as well as Default UI's both had the same results. Then I thought to try equipping current expac mounts one by one and tried a fresh claim on all of them (closing the researcher interface and reopening each time), still same result. I tried claiming without a mount up, same result. I even went to the status merchant, bought the Treasured mount I was researching and a Legendary one that was available but I didn't want, tried claiming with both of them and still same results. After hitting claim, the interface for that researcher just locks up. I ended up stopping my research and losing the time and reducer I applied so I can try again on a fabled mount. Guess I'll see in 7 days if it works. Status for me is precious as I spent a bunch on memorial housing and personal guilds, but I was doing my due diligence on trying to solve the problem. Interestingly enough though after I put my petition in, the status merchant went from a long list of mounts with white and greyed out options to only 2 options. Then before I logged out there were half a dozen options of just white unlocked options. Kio, SkyVenture Ascended; Koryu, Zephyfall Ascended;My unlocked no-trade shiny; Stratos Aralez Draftrider; Stratos Aralez Skyclimber; Stratos Aralez Skyvoyager. Shwetty Active Member Taled well-known member. See here: https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq2/index.php?threads/bug-researcher-rusqik-seems-bugged.613302/ This issue is because you bought a CE or PE version and upgraded your claimed mount, which automatically granted you some levels of mount research. Since you were already researching T1, it didn't cancel it or prevent you starting it, but you cannot claim it because your account is already flagged for it. You need to hit 'Stop' and move on to the correct tier mount. elbuenomalo88 New Member So Question. I do pay the SP for the Mount i want to research on, when i hit the start research button? Bc i finished researching Hahkuh the traveler. ( yes i bought the expensive expac with the good mount ) But i saw this one is a bit better then my so i was able to start and finish the research. then i wanted to claim it, it said i dont have enough SP for it...but now i cant even start research it bc i dont have enough SP. But first time i was able to start the research so i paid already for it but was not able to claim it bc not enough SP?:S I know you guys doing an awesome job very happy with most of the expansion. But this researching thing is very frustating even more with the insane numbers of SP u want for everything in this expansion :S So now im running still my old mount from old expansion, what frustateds me bc i dont want to go to h2s before im not using the best mount i can for this expansion... It does not take the cost when you start research. However, you cannot start research if you can't afford to finish it. Melkior Well-Known Member Taled is right. So if you started it, then spent Status on other things bringing you below the total, you won't be able to claim it. I think this is so you don't pay the cost then stop it and lose all the status you paid. Caith Developer For anyone that has gotten into a blocked state with their research due to having a completed research that you no longer qualify, you can now right click on the researcher that has the blocked research and choose the cancel research option, this will cancel the research and you will lose all current research progress, and you will not be refunded that time, but it will allow you to start a new research that you qualify for.
