Return of Reckoning

Removal of NB was a big blow to people who rolls alts, and I had multiple accounts with tons of alts. After NB removal I reduced my playing to just a few characters, but it did not result in me playing the game more on those characters. It simply resulted in playing less RoR.

Now this new currency change, which was supposed to be an alt/ new player friendly feature in my mind; made alt gearing MANY times more costly than what it used to be, to the point a new alt I tested leveling ended up skipping gears in certain tiers or needing to buy just silver gear because the warcrests I earn are not enough to buy all the relevant tier gear anymore. This NEVER EVER was a situation in the past. Unless I was leveling in PvE I could always afford to buy RvR or SC gear for my relevant rank + as much potions as I would want. Getting potions on an alt/new char is now entirely out of question, and I need to skip getting certain pieces of gear on top of that.

I am looking at current numbers, even my toons with mostly Sov are worse off, since I was a few royals away from next piece, and after translation I am way further away now than I was before uniform currency.

At this point I will stick with my friends who moved to Lost Ark which is super Alt friendly, we even created a small Warhammer Fashion group there with painted Northern Lawmaker outfits to have out chaos group running. If things change, and if there is still population I really want to come back.

Currency translation values for potions and low tier gear is plain stupid, and at this point I can only think that there was a row/column entry mistake on the excel sheet devs used for conversions. It makes 0 sense otherwise.

I am looking at changes and getting the feeling that devs want to push away players that dont fit into their perception of who should be playing this game. My question to devs is; how many players are there really in the category that fits your ideal playerbase?

you are totally right this update is a disaster for this stuffer

Nailed it! Question to the Devs will be answered when there's nothing but a hand full of players left playing their stale mains screaming for a new set of end gear or a new area to zergfest in.
PUGS, newbies and alts not allowed.

Stopped reading there lmao.

Literally started a new fresh zealot with no help from my other toons and not guilded. Took me all of three hours to gear in Dev + emblem knife and skull. I'm not even out of T1 and i have enough crests for Obliterator with almost half way to the t2 weapons.

The only thing off is potions and frankly I decided to start making my own.

Because it made it easier to learn a new class without having to memorize a completely new keyboard config.
Without it there is no way I would have bothered leveling all 24 classes to r40.

Edit: I really don't see any good reason how one would be restricted in their possibility to roll alts. NB doesn't make it easier to create a new char; nor does it help in learning how this new char works. In fact, I would even say that newer players, who try out different chars would be overwhelmed by NB instead of seeing it as a helpful tool to learn their class. And veteran players should have no problem in playing different chars without NB.
My conclusion: NB is not pushing Altoholics away. In my opinion that's a far-fetched issue.

this sums it up for me. someone with a "dev" tag just continuing to derail a player's post in which he points out some very real issues, the addon aside, and this is your reply.

Feels awfully similar in so many words as another of these fine players here in another post calling casuals and people who have limited playtime due to real life obligations like bills, family, work "bots".

pretty disappointing.
