Criticism About Currency Change

[Lion1986]

just my 2 cent notice: t1 currencies are okaish. i created a fresh toon in tier 1 tro test and in 1 day of game play (played like 4 haours in total) i got all 3 t1 inf capped pluys all t1 set in my char. I need just 10 mark more for weapons and gg.

One thing I agree is that genesis is too expensive.

1. Genesis costs are probably the most far off, even with bad RNG you would get the pieces you want long before you would now, and the opportunity cost is higher now in foregone crests because armor doesn't drop in gold bags.

Before the patch it was told, that gold bags won't reward gear but a good amount of crests to almost purchase an armor piece. I guess this was dumped for some reason?

This is the real bummer,

[Cultist]

the good news is you can buy anything from any set vendor now
the bad news is it definitely feels more grindy

I cannot imagine how hard it would be for a newcomer to reach a decent set (vanquisher e.g.) to somehow compete

dude as a healer you at least get contribution. my WP is ez pz to gear and level up because i ALWAYS have super-high contribution even though i'm not doing anything special. with my SW it's RIP.

P.S. after doing my own testing i've found that gain from scenarios outweigh gains from rvr since patch by a LOOOOOOOOOOOT.

there are 2 ways to amend this: 1. reduce gains from scenarios 2. increase gains from rvr. i wonder what devs will do

Only if you hit a window where you're winning. Getting 1-2 medals for 10mins of your time is not efficient at all on the losing side. You basically need to do the open rvr weekly to keep your gear up for tiers1-4, as the gear costs do not match the required scenarios / xp gain rate at all.

i just lost sc and got only 1 crest in end. you may be right, i'm just gonna give up on main rr68 SW i guess, grind is too hard for me, not no-lifer enough. better yet, totally give up on game untill they fix this ****

Your main issue is doing solo scens as a RDPS. This is a MDPS meta game. Destro wins bc they know play melee heavy and ppl actually play their healers.

Well, playing rdps is fine unless everyone else does the same.

The currency change is great, but at the moment, it's even more punishing for new/alt players to the point where I (an alt/casual player) am so de-incentivized by the amount of crests gear costs to the amount of crests achieved per hour has made me put the game down.

[Elvicof]

Just lose all requirements prior to Vanq. Full vanq to progress further, then you have to option to save for vanq earlier.

The idea was to make progress easier for new players, but seems pricing have made it opposite.

what definitely never happens on Order. especially with rdps.
