DarthNillard Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Last time I played, multiple currencies were removed to "simplify" things. Now it appears there are more than ever. Can the DEV team please make up their mind? Been dealing with this nonsense for 11 years and counting.... 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darcmoon Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Nope. I imagine it will keep going back and forth depending on the person in charge’s opinion of how things should be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatTax Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Over-complicated systems are easier to leak cash into. After two or three conversions, people stop following the money. That's how you end up where we are, with progression, crafting, and gearing all MTX-corrupted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no content so they extend gear grinding to make it seem like there is something to do. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the new planet, but even if you spacebar through the convos its still just a whole lot of driving around to finish the post story one-time mission (that starts with the holo call you get from the Ordo brother dude) instead of a lot of content, even with Quick Travel.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to hazard a guess that the 'play your way' philosophy didn't work out as well as they had hoped and they decided they needed to reward the harder game modes with better gear, which meant adding new currencies for each 'advancement' path. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still rubbish. In 11 years, they never seem able to think more than 5-6 months in advance.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

recalcitrantIre Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 most of the active currencies are very content-specific and the tooltips generally give a good job of telling you what they're used for and what content the currency is acquired from there's really only two or three fully generic non-credit currencies and even then they're largely specific to high level/endgame content On 1/22/2023 at 1:41 PM, Ominovin said: I'm going to hazard a guess that the 'play your way' philosophy didn't work out as well as they had hoped and they decided they needed to reward the harder game modes with better gear, which meant adding new currencies for each 'advancement' path. "play your way" got us hammer station/red reaper/toborro's courtyard farming to the exclusion of all other content so it was less about incentivizing harder content and more about incentivizing the entire game outside of those 3 things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raikme Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Yes, it's a bunch of currencies that they don't know what to do anymore. They should: - Remove ALL green gear from level 80. - Make blue 324 entry gear - Remove FP-1, WZ-1 and Resource Matrix. - To get blue gear we'd need Conquest commendations only, all activities would reward conquest commendations, cap increased. - Keep OP-1 as it is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you on everything except the conquest commendations part, unless they complete remove the stupid weekly caps on all the types of currency you can earn. I can cap out on the weekly Conquest, Daily Resource Matrix, FP-1, OP-1, and WZ-1 comms any given week before the weekend, and I only play in the evenings. If I want to dedicate 100 hours a week to this game, the Devs should be not only be praying that they still have loyal players demonistrating this behavior after 11 years of this game running but ENCOURAGING it, not preventing people from doing it. Once I hit the caps there's pretty much minimal reason to play anymore until the Tuesday reset. Punishing dedicated players because YOU are unable to pump out content, so your workaround is to restrict how quickly people can gear up has always been, is, and will always be a fatal flaw to this game.

Lord_Thorne Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 It's been a hot minute since they really rewarded spending time playing the game, as opposed to performing the officially-apporved activity/ies. I miss the days when crafting meant a single damn thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
