CoA prices after Ad nerf

in Player Feedback (PC)
Since the changes to Astral Diamonds have taken effect you have started to lower costs on some items and increase ways to get AD. All good starts, but please lower the cost od Cubes of Augmentation or make it so you can choose the boon from them instead of it being chance driven. 45K AD for a chance at the boon you want is rediculous whith the changes to AD in place.

    There is still a LOT they need to do in terms of price adjusting. I hope they get to it sooner rather than later. It seems they are making changes little by little and analyzing the effect on the economy, but the change to Leadership was massive.

    You will get cubes from new lockbox, so price will drop eventually after mod 8.
    My story is truly a grand tale! Of course, any story about me is going to be grand simply by virtue of the main character.

    most items should be cut in 1/2 price (or more) to attempt to cover for the loss of AD
    -if ya cant make it- you cant use it...
    -I wasn't botting -so my AD accruement was only cut in 1/2 to 1/3 of what I made before, so prices should be inline for the majority players if the AD prices in market were cut to that point also
    -a note - it was already TOO hard to get enough AD, that's why people AD farmed, maybe if you gave us our fair allotment- we wouldn't "NEED" them anymore...
    * another note:
    * -if you see that someone is abusing this in the future, then punish them- NOT US!!!

    That's twisting their words. They said they have no immediate plans to change them.

    well considering its been 6 months without a single returned dungeon and 4 months for them to issue a boa companion, no immediate plans means they'll fix it after hell freezes over.

    1 CUBE SHOULD EQUAL 1 POWER TO OPEN.. IN FACT it shouldve been like that from the start..
  • sifudragonussifudragonus Member Posts: 15 Arc User
    My point is they can even leave the price as long as they let you choose the power. Just as you can choose the path of your character. The price is only bad because of the chance involved in the unlock.
  • krailovkrailov Member Posts: 302 Arc User
    Yes, I think they messed up the cubes (sorry to revive an older thread). Why 4 cubes (AD sink or course - but why not just charge the full AD for 1...)? Why random?
    They SHOULD have:
    1 - Cube of Chaos (4k AD, random change to unlock), and
    1 - Cube of Order (16K AD, you select the unlock).

    I have never understood the love they have for randomness - give me ORDER! I will pay for it, but I HATE random... Others of course love it, so cater for both of us!

    This could also lead to all sorts of things in the following Mod after this - CHAOS vs ORDER - cheap but random vs expensive but selected. My two cents...

    Might is not always right - the powerful sometimes forget that.

    Bit of a necro but they added Cubes to some of the kits/boxes in the upcoming lockboxes. So their plan must be to get enough of them on the AH that the price drops via supply instead of by changing the fixed price in the bazaar.

    ...why am i not surprised ???
  • bashteros1234bashteros1234 Member Posts: 46 Arc User
    I think urabask is right. Cryptics key strategy at the moment seems to be to increase the value of lockboxes directly (more valued prices) and indirectly (interesting stuff in tarmalude tradebar) and generate revenue with it by selling more keys and vip.

    We are still waiting for many AD-cost reductions and they are dragging their feet because they don't want to give it for free.
    They try to put more valued things into lockboxes like cubes, more companion upgrade tokens, ... - perhaps in the future SH-vouchers and other things with insane AD prices.
    => So their answer to high AD-cost is "we put AD-cost reductions in lockboxes".

    ...yeah, that thought had crossed my mind, too.

    Kinda sneaky, stealth-sub-scheme under a different name, and ofc totally unofficial, that's introduced here. With the high-pricey extra tombola lots purchasable aplenty, and no botting option inbetween. Because, let's face it, VIP keys are nice but won't suffice to keep you on the frontline for long...

    ...nor your alts.

    What brings my @#$% to a boil is that EE's level cap increased the boon/feat respec cost. 117k is just too much.
