[MEGATHREAD] Road Ahead: June 2022 - Datacrons

Someone needs to be fired. This is beyond lame. What's that? I will lose all PVP? Who cares.

I won’t care if I lose in PVP if it’s because of datacrons either. CG needs to understand that ignoring the reactions to the leak from months earlier and the reactions to its actual release will result in more and more people losing interest. Also, I hope the LoTR game flops if they continue to ignore community sentiment.

So let’s get this straight…Datacrons are said to be operating with a unique currency and not intended to interfere with other progression goals. Then we get a new shop selling is the unique currency for other currencies, crystals and shard shop tokens. The dishonesty is astounding.

Do CG even want us engage with this new mechanic?
Here test this out but you can only upgrade it once as anything else will break our precious economy. Pathetic, give us some materials to do things if you want us to play around with the new toy no one asked for that you’ve forced on us.

The costs are excessive….crystal costs, shard currency, etc. with not much return or value. Big fail

I’ll give you that Shard Shop currency is odd. But them being available for crystals should not be a surprise to say the least, and ally points aren’t exactly a progression goal.

They cost crystals and they interfere with crystal income in GAC. And as a small bonus on top the shard shop currency. I would say they are heavily involved in the ingame economy in a detrimental way. They could have added this to be used in a new game mode with added gear rewards thus helping the ingame economy but now they just went all-in CG on this and blatantly introduce new player hostile money grabbing mechanics without delivering on their previous promises to help the player base. Stay classy

Regardless of specifics, it’s just very disingenuous to say this will be a completely independent currency system and not interfere with other economies and then sell the currencies for other currencies.

I’m not sure how you can say this is a parallel system when it requires us to relic whole teams. I can either chase Executor/JMK or relic whole teams to use datacrons. I can’t do both. Especially with 0 help on getting toons to relics. Uggggggghhhhhhhh. This is very frustrating. The road ahead had absolutely nothing that wasn’t solely centered on revenue. Just things to whale on. Inquisitors and datacrons. You need to mix it up. Whales will not want to play this game by themselves. Need to give us minor spenders and peasants something. QoL, gear, content. Something.

They need to rescind this update…or at least pare it back….too much. My guild is on very shaky ground as one of our main officers quit the guild in the middle of TB. We are a decent size 360m guild

CG doesn't care that your guild is breaking up. They actually think it's good to break up guilds.
