dscount Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 I know Eric told us that the prices he showed during the live stream are "NOT" the final versions... BUT those prices showed up on LIVE and I have to admit.. they are complete CRAP. Three different currencies for just one item is sort of weak to force grind (Since two are not exactly around much). I could see the belt going for maybe 1-2 of each currency, but 10 Rak, 7 Gree and 9 Bounty..> COME ON!!!! To get the complete Sand People Bloodguard set will run you 155 RAK, 102 Gree, 133 bounty SUGGESTION: Drop the prices dramatically or increase the drop rate of all them on events. I was going to buy some stuff with extra I have stock piled, but I can't even get ONE or TWO pieces and won't bother now. SUGGESTION 2: Make them CREDIT sinks instead and purchase via in game credits. (Miss the bounty gear via credits)
JattaGin Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 I disagree. For years, many players asked for these armors to be added to the game again. Many others asked them to stay unique to the never returning events. The current solution seems fair to me: It is possible to get those armors now even though you were not there back when you could get them originally. BUT it takes a lot of effort, so you actually earn the armors instead of just buying them with credits people have in abundance. I don't like the prices either. But I want them to stay that high. It feels right to me. (And yes, I need to get all imperial parts of the containment armor, because I didn't have an imperial alt back then.) However, what I would really want is that they add the two original events to their recurring event calendar. I don't see a reason why not. Such a waste of work, time and money to have them only once in the game.
ShadesofNight Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 I actually like that they make use of all of the event tokens, but I think the problem is the amount they use. And also not taking into account how easy/hard some of those tokens can be to get. For example I have tons of Rakghoul tokens, they're easy to get. A few less bounty tokens as you're kinda restricted to one per day on a character so you need a lot of alts for it. But the Gree? The items in the Gree event themselves are pretty ridiculously priced, these are the hardest to get tokens (you have to do the OP or Heroic to get them, and the event itself is only high level characters, AND the event doesn't pop up much), and we're seeing that carried onto these new multi-token items. So the problem as I see it is that the token prices don't reflect how hard/easy it is to get a certain token. If they did I'd be much happier to put some work into getting tokens and purchasing the items I want.
TheSeer Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 (edited) I think it fine they use all types of currency but I agree the price are too high. I'm not surprised, a lot of thing in this expansion are designed to make you grind old content. I like the expansion for the most part but I think they could tone down the grind some. I agree that some events are much harder to get done, due to the level and the fact they don't show up enough. You would think they take that into consideration, but it seems like they just make random numbers, without testing how it works in game. Oh well I can live without that stuff.
