A dolphins complaint about gear

Cant dolphins/krackens just buy the gear they need?

Dolphins need to be frugal, otherwise they'll run out of crystals too fast. Most dolphins like myself are probably getting the crystal subscription once a month and every now and then buy a modest amount of crystals. So it's not just buy Stun Cuffs whenever a character needs them.

Krakens should be able to just buy gear when they need it. Maybe not for every toon, but definitely for main toons in arena and raids.

Add Mk 3 Sienar Holo projector to the guild's shop

Get them from fleet shop. That's what I do. You can get almost 7 full pieces for the cost of 1 zeta ability.

This will make the new bottle neck getting to gear 11 and not 9 and 10. Games like this will always have a bottleneck and the previous bottleneck is usually resolved when something new comes out creating a new bottleneck.

If the bottleneck for gear 11 and 12 is not too bad they may keep us in the 9 and 10 one a little longer.

I did not feel the gear relief for G9/G10 when we went to G11 xD.

Thought he récent QoL made G7/G8 much easier.

The gear relief at the time was for the lower gear tiers such as getting to gear 8 which is even easier now. The relief will never be to bring you to the current max so gear 9 and 10 won't see relief until there is a bottleneck before a new max gear level.

Technically there will be 2 bottle necks but you will only see the earlier one as that is where you will be stick most.

So, you still desire to see bottleneck through cuffs and guns?

They are. Fellow dolphin here. Save arena crystals and buy them every 4-5 days

4-5 days?....more like 9-14 days to save up enough crystals to buy them. If you're top 20 in your shard, you get around 280 crystals a day and you have to spend at least 50 of those on a refresh in order to hit 600 raid tokens for the day. There's no way you're saving up 1400 crystals in 4-5 days unless you're consistently finishing top 3 in arena.

If you're going to defend something like this, you have to look at the point of view of the average player first. If you can't do that, then it just proves that the system is broken..

+1 on the cuffs and guns going to challenges for sure.

Part of the game is making decisions on what to farm if you did not have to make a decision the game would get rather boring.

If you only had to farm 1 piece of gear what would you do when you have built a supply up?

What would you do in the game if you could instantly get a character you unlock to max gear?

The gear bottleneck is a necessary evil to keep everyone playing the game.

They already have made changes to help such as putting the gear in the ship store but won't make it very easy to get until the next bottleneck is set up.

Devs would have incentive to make content for the 29 G11 (including a 7* GK) toons I have currently maybe?

I have no fun in gearing toon, Zeta or grinding. I have fun by theorycrafting and testing teams at the max of their potential, helping my guild mates improving their arena ranks.

What is the utility of releasing new characters for small spenders nowadays? I have 10 "grandmaster" quality 7* toons that would be worthy of gearing, so why would I excited by a new uber OP toon, gated by gear and shard wall?

The game is a marathon not a sprint.

Isn't the theory crafting before you have them at max potential? Once you have them and being fully geared, isn't it no longer theory?

I agree they don't seem to have much content geared towards "end game" or high lvl players.

HAAT is the best we have right now and ships could add to this. I'm sure more content is coming, but if you don't like the grind I think you are playing the wrong game.

Gear 11 is cheaper (750 crystals rather than 1400) which will help us pass the next bottleneck if they really change the bottleneck
