Well said. This game used to be really exciting farming teams in about 90 day cycles. Now the new team is 6 maybe 12 months away unless you have a stockpile of kryos or are willing to go the crystal route.
A veteran who quit in 2018 recently returned to the game and was amazed how much "slower" progression had become.
Did they give any perspective on what they mean?
There are more places/ways to get gear now than in 2018. I'm not sure how anyone could say progress is slower. They have added more avenues to follow, but focused progression is definitely faster.
Because it is slower. Getting characters to G10-11 may be faster now with focused progression but that gear level isn't at all viable in most content now.
Maxing out a character is 2018 meant much less than it does now with G12 and relics and does indeed take longer - especially when the stungun bottleneck has been unaddressed for however long.
Any veteran player getting to g13, r3 is quick and easy, and 5 or even up to 7 on toons that deserve it is not bad. Check out people posting F2P progress on GLs. People are making that progress at a good pace.
Getting to g13 on a targeted farm is not that hard of a process right now.
Again, I understand the breadth has changed on a few aspects, but as far as getting a focused toon, or a single team to a viable level, it is quicker than it was, especially for a veteran who will have a stock of mats to convert for relics. The problem now is more that a single team doesnt really mean much beyond arena.
I dunno about quick and easy. Lower relic levels totally, but getting to g13 is still a huge pain. Stun guns, eyeballs and those blasted kyrotechs are the problem.
I think that kyros are one of, if not the worst thing they have added to the game. Still fail to see how they helped the gear crunch as advertised.
Adding new tiers to the daily challenges would help the community and it’s something they said they would do after the new tiers of assault battles...and like everything else they said is coming....we’re still waiting.
Yes, I said r3, the low level stuff.
Do you think closing g13 at this point is much slower than g12 was in 2018 (I think that was the max then)? I would say it's easier or at least a wash. Since a veteran closing g13 should have relic mats ready, getting to r3 is "almost nothing"....
So the general path to a decent usable level, and much better than the max in 2018, seems to be on par or faster.
Yep waiting on those things.... we heard rumblings of improving the new player experience or something to that effect in the last set of interviews. I cant see how this can happen without adjustments to gear and farming..... but who knows.
