No omicron farming

There were 10 omicron fragments that we received from galactic missions once a month. Did you take that from us too? What do you think while doing this? Do you want to completely alienate f2p players from the game by doing this? Couldn't you make any inference from your game Apex Legends?

  • More accurately, and easier to compare, we received 4 omi mats pr. week, 2 from each GC.

    The new episode shipment store have 3 you can buy each week, so that leaves us down 1 omi mat pr. week.
    The free episode track awards up to 4 omis during the 4 week runtime, meaning if you come near to completing this, you receive the same amount of omi mats as you would have previously, 4 pr. week.

    Concerning omi mats, players are not missing out on anything with the new reward system.

      How can a f2p player get 7 stars 1 day after Huyang's release? Are you sure you have seen the missions of the new galatic missions?

        It’s not too hard.

      Character parts, injectors, kyro parts that they give from time to time, can you calculate these as well?

        People have done the math.  It’d essentially the sam gear, but we’re losing out on a bunch of character shards and getting a bunch more slicing mats.  So if you really liked the character shards, this is worse.  If you really like the slicing mats, this is better.

      I admire your mathematics. Why do they add different things to the store? If only omicron was available in the store, then

        Because the store offers the range of rewards that were previously in the GC reward boxes. The difference is that the player can now use the rest of the currency to buy the things that are currently helpful to them, in addition to the Omicron mandatory purchases, instead of what the game rolls.

        It is similar to the change in raid rewards a few years ago. Yes, you get a few fewer rewards overall, but you can choose exactly the ones that will help you, instead of getting the 4000th blue piece of equipment in the box.

        It would help to familiarize yourself with all the information first, instead of always complaining straight away
