So it looks like an uncommunicated stealth nerf of foraging / crafting imo.

P.S. Hoping for an official response soon.
We get 200 bulk more but loose 0.5 per ticket ? This sounds like an improvement. Even if someone has got 200 tickets he will have 100 more bulk.

Am i wrong ?

You don't get any more bulk, you get more slot (sections taken up by an icon).
Much of this bulk has been eaten, for habitual ticket collectors, by the 0.5 bulk of each ticket.

Yep, you don't get more bulk, you only get more item spaces.

Bags and packers are limited by 3 things : number of items/stacks, bulk and weight. Since bulk is the most interesting for 99.99% of the homins, raising the number of items is pointless really, especially with raising the number of mats per stack.

Yes ye are. Ee did not get more bulk at all. Number of slots in inventories were increased. So you could have lots of sap crystals without hitting that limit.

As previously stated, we've already contacted Nevrax about this issue. We just received some new information on this topic:

I agree this is definitely a situation where there should be more information given. I think the stir this incident has caused should warrant a thorough explanation of "how and why" from Nevrax on both how the bulk was allowed to be so large and why they want tickets to have a bulk at all.

Not to mention why the change with possibly the largest effect on the game wasn't even in the patch notes....


(just curious, did anyone have the problem where ticket bulk over loaded them and they lost equipment or anything?)

I find it hilarious. I am still miffed by the removal of the spacebar select of sources.
But I had no problem adjusting to the bulk of tp tickets (even to the tune of 350k worth of tp tickets destroyed to make room).
That being said, I am looking forward to the new bulk in the next patch.

In particular, I don't see the point of why they tried to advertise the improvement of being able to stack tickets, just to go and penalize everyone for having more than one. I know that's been asked already, I'm just still confused about it.

I'm not particularly miffed over ticket bulk, I can deal with it without much trouble at the moment. It just obviously got everyone's up in arms about the subject, and if Nevrax continues on without discussing it, it will make the players feel like they're being jacked around with for no reason.

I agree completely with this and with your next post too. Did they think we wouldn't notice? Is it a technical issue to allow stacking or is it a nerf to foraging? What's the purpose of this? Inquiring minds would like to know.

Haddo.
