Response to Raid Economy Update
@CG_Tusken_Meathead While it's good to see CG isn't completely blind to the issues and concerns, other than the Kyrat rewards, nothing else was addressed in your post considering the other raids and ...
Forum Discussion
First let me address this:
I was loud and I was clear that the store UI was bad and it should feel bad. I wasn't the only one, but I was one of (if not the) earliest voice expressing this. The community as a whole is focussed on the amount of rewards, and it should be, but let's not miss just how bad it was trying to find what you're looking for. This is not a **sufficient** win, but this is a major win. I want to have fun playing the game, and the death scroll through mixed up purchase lots was a total PITA and killed fun.
I always advocate for fun. They can't make scrolling through gear choices fun, but they can make it so much better than it was. I'm glad that they announced this right away. Thank you, CG.
Secondly, I think I was the only person who noticed that by removing Guild Tokens CG removed the only reliable source of g11 finishers. The addition of Mk4 Bacta Gel for Mk1 Raid Tokens is also a major win. Even though I was the only one complaining about it over the last couple days, we would ALL have felt that before too long.
I am still concerned about the lack of Mk6 Droid Callers. I can, of course, choose to ONLY ever buy Mk6 Droid Callers with my few remaining Guild Tokens, and maybe over time that will be a successful strategy for keeping up, but there's still no way to collect them quickly (in, say, a week) without purchasing them for crystals ... unless you happen to get very lucky with how often they pop up in the Shard Shop.
I'll be monitoring this. The Bacta Gel addition is clearly a win, but Mk6 Droid Callers might no longer be reliably available for most players, and if true that would be a real problem.
Much more to discuss about the updates, but of course some details are lacking and I'll need to think more about what else has been said. But in the meantime, one major win and one partial win. I appreciate Tusken Meathead for taking serious commentary seriously. I do criticize this game, but not to be a troll: rather I believe that our comments can make this game batter. in these two instances they have. Thanks for the progress so far, CG.
Mk 4 Zaltin Bacta Gel Salvage and Mk 8 BioTech Implant Salvage have been added to the Guild Store for Mk 1 Raid Tokens.
The Guild Store will been reorganized to make it easier for players to find what they're looking for.
