I wouldn't say someone turned me down - that sounds like there's a degree of internal dissent or dictatorial rule going on, and there's not. It was a blind vote, and it was very close, but ultimately the chosen route was to reduce the price of the weapons drastically, and the sets not at all.lator wrote:Dude read his posts again, he already explained that he tried to make a change and someone else higher in the developer hierarchy turned him down.bloodi wrote:This brings again my problem with it, both weapons and gear should be obtainable for someone who purely did scs and kill quests at the rank they are available and if not, not later than 1-2 ranks after it, the whole set, is this concept something that you are against?
No, I agree wholeheartedly with the sentiment. But I will also say that our formulas for determining xp/renown per kill are different for live - you earn more on RoR than you did there. This results in a faster trip from 1/1 to 35/40, and therefore less time to earn emblems for gear in each tier. Rather than increasing the emblems given from scenarios or decreasing the prices of sets and weapons, I would like to correct those formulas so the exp/renown gain is closer to what it should be. Of course, that's going to be an unpopular sentiment, so ideally I would partner it with a feature to boost alts in some way.bloodi wrote:This brings again my problem with it, both weapons and gear should be obtainable for someone who purely did scs and kill quests at the rank they are available and if not, not later than 1-2 ranks after it, the whole set, is this concept something that you are against?
I'll gladly take any data you want to provide. Ideally, just a snapshot at each level of how many emblems you have when you reach that point, for any alts you have - whether you've leveled them solely through scenarios or not. I can go back to the team and use this thread to try to campaign for lowered prices (since changing the xp/renown rates is less likely to pass), and I'll need a baseline figure to shoot for.
