Dillon Forge combine time #368

Open Imzogelmo opened 9 years ago

Imzogelmo commented 9 years ago

Need to know how long it will take to combine level 1 plans into level X plans before actually committing to do it.

It might also be worth reviewing the build times in general for the forge. The times were specified back when glyphs were much more valuable. The reduction in glyph costs has effectively devalued the forge.

If we are to bring the Del out of ISO then making the forge more valuable (reducing the time) should also be considered.

Another point, the 'split plan' is I think a set value irrespective of the level of the forge. It might be worth while making the higher level forges split in a lower time.

The split plan times do vary by the level of the forge. The combine plans do not vary. After I posted that (chiefly UI) gripe, I looked up the value in code, and it is indeed 5000 seconds times the level being combined to, irrespective of the forge level. Thus, it's not terribly good for low level plans, but high level ones it starts to be a benefit (this is not bad in and of itself). The only change I'd suggest there would be to make the level count for something, as it usually does, and have the combine time drop with the forge level at least partially.

Granted, it's not like the forge level can change, so it's nearly a moot point.
