New weapon refinement compaint.

akoran

So the new weapons are pretty awesome. And to restore them you need to either grind a lot, or save up a lot of cash and buy the ingredients. you also have to do the dailies to get reclaimed runes. Now thats all good and well. based off of current prices, it costs about 12 million ad for main and offhand, will obviously go down over the next few days/weeks.
But what i am complaining about, and this is absolute bs, is if you press ctrl j and go to zone rewards, storm kings thunder, and go to the last page, scroll down to the bottom. And you will see that there are new marks, greater marks and superior marks you need for refining them. So you won't be using greater marks of potency etc, you'll be using these things. Where do they drop? Svardborg and master Svardborg. how do you unlock that? 400 reputation, and 62 runic pieces. Now for one set of dailies you get 5 of them. not sure how much you get for weeklies since there aren't any weeklies yet. So thats approx 12 or so days before you get the runic pieces. Next you need 60 reclaimed runes, you get 3 a day. So thats 20 dailies.
And lets take into fact that these marks probably aren't going to be a guaranteed drop.
I am perfectly fine with doing dailies, and farming AD or Heroics, but having to do the skirmish to get the marks is bs imo. Have spoken to several people in my alliance that all agree with me.
When it comes to sapping out the fun of a game, Cryptic sure have nailed that department.

How often does the bonus proc and are they better than the constant power increase of the twisted set?

For the bad points,
Did you notice that you can't upgrade from epic to legendary without running epic svadborg?
Did you motice that you can't run epic svadborg without successfully complete FBI?

For the good points,
Did you notice that epic weapon got 3 slots ( like our currently legendary weapon)

And for the last, what's the difference between farmin heroic and farming svadborg? Still no garantee of good loot for me

They basically said to themselves:

Dev1: Ok, we took down the gateway, we removed the RP drops from skill nodes, we limited every enchant that drops something to the point they are almost useless. Yet, a ton of people have enough RP stored to go from Rank 1 to Legendary instantly. How do we solve this?

Dev2: I got an idea - lets create an entirely new process for upgrading stuff. Make it require different RP items and different items all together that have to be farmed from our awesome HEs. This will force people to have to do the content we copy/pasted created and maybe have the buy more bags by filling them up even faster! We can also make a new way of traveling so that they can't use their legendary mounts...which will fit in a bag slot also (more bags woot!) and will be much slower.

Dev3: Why not allow players to just use the stuff they earned? (Dev1 and Dev2 throw Dev3 out the window).

Dev1: Dev2, awesome idea. Let's do that! Players will love having the challenge of this new process to get their gear that involves repeatedly doing the same things over and over and over. And who doesn't love fishing? WoW had it and it was fun..right?

Dev1+Dev2: (pat each other on the back).


That was fun - but seriously, I think they felt that to many players had to much RP stored, and they felt they needed to change it. I hate the restore process, because it forces grinding for gear. Why is it so unfathomable to put loot in dungeons like every other game?

Actually, fishing in WoW was a lot more fun than nearly everything Cryptic has thrown at us since Mod 6.

silverkelt

what.. you mean play together to achieve goals through a adventure!

that sounds like its dungeon and dragons or something..

you have the wrong game.

This is dailies and fishing.

and farming, don't forget farming - cryptic surely hasn't. You can't just be able to play without having to spend significant time preparing to play you know!

Not only moar fun but more useful in the tasks in which it is required i.e. cooking as a SECONDARY SKILL.
The LAST thing I want to do in this game is fish. I want the old dungeons and new ones added. Until then I will continue to log in for my key and exit. I see no point in grinding HE's any longer.

You are giving me ROFLMAO-related urinary incontinence with this hilarious (-ly true) HAMSTER.

How could this possibly be a more cost-efficient, revenue generating, new player attracting and old player retaining solution compared to just bringing back all the old dungeons?
