Umm Question time.

I'm also concerned about bloods from primals. Not everyone has the primal skills maxed out. What was the point in telling us the rewards were increased when in fact they were taken away? If you've got an update I'm sure we'd all like to hear it. Thanks​​

They increased the amount of bloods you can get from UCH and added barbaric bloods as well. Also lowered the boundary level required to enter, so it is easier now to farm primal skills and passives.​​

@forbiddenwords i tink forcing players to go to UCH is a bad idea. UCH squads are hard to find and its a long instance. It became active when the new nuema levels came out but died again

There is nothing forcing people to do UCH, bloods are still available.
But for those who go, rewards are increased.

Also you can get a ton of bloods from transmutation. I got enough for almost 2 def level passives from it on the first day

Doing the main daily quest in UCH and elemental disaster quest at the same time just once you'll get 13 primordial blood OR 6 barbaric blood + 1 primordial blood, daily. Thats really worth it + the usual primal dailies.

Hello!

1. This looks to be deliberate, however, they did ask me for the NPC names again and I haven't received an email status back about the reason why they asked for those NPCs. A thought occurred to me about this however, so I'll open up a new email thread with the devs...
2. Primal changes were deliberate, but the patchnotes were not entirely clear on these changes. Here is what CN provided for us -



If there is some sort of deviation from the table they provided us, please let me know!

I saw the changes to HFT, but due to the stigma from the last time anything related to it was ran, I was unsure the activity levels inside that instance. There are more way to get some of the Starchart items and those events should start rolling out within the next few months so stay stunned for that!

Thank you for the update, and I apologize in advance because this is going to continue to sound critical (though, as always, never of you specifically, Kalyst ). If at all possible and if you haven't already, could you communicate to the devs directly that we've given what is (to the best of my knowledge based on the threads I've read) a universally negative response to this change?

Ironically, I think I wrote the closest thing to a positive response to this change that I'm aware of in another thread (tl;dr, that farming methods have changed before and no doubt we'll find a new one eventually). But that's because I'm less worried about FSP specifically, and more worried in general about changes that only seem to help pay-to-win people.

Think about it: the coins being removed was bad enough, but who bought them from free-to-play players? The P2W crowd hoping to buff up their war avatars. And now we have the default reward offering them over three times that amount in untradeable war avatars (because everything is untradeable now, because reasons), which I have no doubt is why the value of FSP coins hasn't risen despite the comparatively lower supply.

I'm honestly at a loss as to why this change was even done. It's not "we need coinsinks" (aka the bog-standard excuse for every change which hits the F2P crowd harder) - FSP coins don't generate any new coin at all because the money F2P players make from them is by selling to others. So what is it?
