Graal 2001 Jobs

thomasward · #1 01-08-2002, 05:08 PM

Is it just me or do other fellow Graalians find it quite frustrating that the majority of the Graal 2001 jobs are mainly just button bashing.

Lets look at some examples:

Mining: Firstly you have to mine the gems by bashing the D key. Then you have to craft the gems by again bashing the D key. Then finally you have to craft your gems into items by once again bashing the D key and it seems to take forever!!

Baking: You just stand there bashing the D key over and over again until the bread is baked.

Farming: You have to run back and forth filling up your can with water then tip the water on your tree by pressing the D key until it is watered enough. Then you have to stand round for ages before repeating steps 1 & 2.

Those are just a few examples, and maybe its just me that finds the jobs a bit tedious after a while but I really feel that Graal 2001 needs some new jobs that involves the player to do a little bit more. Please reply with your thoughts or if you have any ideas for the staff about some new and player-involving jobs

Well duh, of course its pressing buttons.

The thing I'm getting at is most of the time you just stand there pressing the same button over and over again. Like mining.

Yes i agree, most of the jobs on g2k1 are mostly pressing the D key

maybe they could make a job where you press a certain combination and it does something

more like hat making

you get the fibres and stuff then you press a certain combination and the needle goes that way (of corse there will be alot of frustration as so many hats will get made)

Ultima,
Shut your whole wang chung! *****!
That is a good idea though. - Looks at his mining and crafting script. Hmmm, D bashing there. - Looks at his fishing script, yet another D bashing. Someone post some ideas!

YAY

Finally some people with brains have finally understood me. Not like stupid Dlaiyre (no offence).

Kasuagi · #7 01-08-2002, 07:29 PM

maybe if the jobs had variety and actually paid you enough gralats i'd work =/

until then i'll keep pking and buying hats cheap and selling them for more!

Maybe solve it, by having job deal with carrying stuff? like weed across the country. erm...I mean crops. And sell to farming on other side of map.

Dlaiyre · #9 01-08-2002, 09:01 PM

Well i must say, someone who is dumb enough to work constantly is a retard and should perhaps play something else, money is lame and not really worth it, is the same breath, so are hats, people are so dumb, they buy a hat for 100g (an hour or so work) then there like ono im so dumb i brought a hat i wont even wear im a retard. >.<

Dlaiyre · #10 01-08-2002, 09:03 PM

Want to be able to do a job where you don't have to continuously press 'D'?
Become a bomy.

Then have nothing to spend money on.

"Man, I hate graal.. you have to constantly mash the arrow keys, and when you fight you have to keep hitting the S key.. I hate having to mash the A key all the time to lift and throw things.."

Jesus, why don't you get a mind helmet or something so you can move the character telepathically? Maybe Stefan should start a slave operation where you get out in real mining caves and pick at rocks all day for some gralat.. then tell me if tapping one button is hard work

SabreKnot · #14 01-09-2002, 02:25 AM

I make signatures for graal monies

In 2002, we are adding button combinations. Different button combinations make different things. This won't be for everything though, probably just my games and crafting scripts.

Until an alternate way of performing tasks is created, button mashing is what you get
