Prices of Subjugator weapons are ridiculous. You could get needed item faster even with bad rng before...

All fine except the remove of pieces in bags, fun seems to start from invader.

Also curious:

Does the set tier requirement go full through everything? I need t1 set to buy souv?

Looks like price increase made with players hoarding all currencies in mind but this will only hurt new players. Not that there are many new players but oh well...

Great patch
came years too late for me

but im glad newer people won't haver to suffer being cheated endlessly by 'rng' whilst seeing a handful of others 'strangely' being given instant gratification with perfect rewards in every single bag

Luck should never have replaced merit or effort.

Glad Justice has prevailed.

Making the medals auto convert instead of some exchanger was a god awful idea, everything below officer basically just disappeared.

Great:
- QoL Improvements all-around
- Warband Assistants!
- Permanent Guild Mounts!
- Twitch drops are back!
- Unified Currency simplifying the system

Unsure:
- Genesis / Subjugator grind might be rough if you have to get 40/40 to start getting Genesis currency. If you start getting it at level 16, then thumbs up here. (TBC)

Not so great:
- T1-T3 currencies totally gutted by conversion ratio. This could have been communicated ahead of time to give players a heads-up.
- Anathema weapon grind is now considerably longer than before, without warning.
- Many new prices for armor/weps/pots are much higher than the 10-15% example that was communicated.
- Requiring the low tier RvR unlocks is really tedious. Had an alt in almost full Conq that now has to spend 100% of his currency and then some buying old T2-T3 sets that he won't ever use.

Overall there's a ton of good in this patch and lots of nice improvements. With more communication from the team about how the conversion was going to work and allowing players more time to prepare, people would feel less blindsided and I think this would have been a home run.

So, more communication is my only request for next time! Thank you for the update!

1vanq used to be worth 125 officer pots, now it's worth 1/4th of an officer pot? Lol. Who did the math on these new values, 500,000% inflation is considered a good change?

Guys. 2 weeks ago they basically said "spend all your coins, there is going to be a price increase".

Second. It was obvious that it will be very expensive because you can buy everything with one currency now, coming from 2 sources instead of having 2 currencies coming from 1 source each.
Everyone who didn't expect this lives in a dream world

The prices for all gear under level 40 are insane, increase or not. No one is going to spend medals to buy that crap when you out level it within a couple days. 300 medals for a lvl39 blue weapon lol. You can buy that lvl39 blue weapon or two piece conq, your choice! Whereas the lvl39 blue weapon used to cost like half a conq belt in medals. Far off from the 20% increase or whatever they said, or they're bad at math.

This patch is the anti-new player patch. It's to help the old guard have a use for their 'useless' medals and get war/sov without having to do a boring city.
