Spending GET1

Let's assume we've accepted reality and move past the merits of having to spend GET1 on characters. I'd like to know if people are going to continue to hoard GET1 after they complete all the toons in the store for a possible next time, or if they are going to spend on gear again.

    Q: Why is the game designed around hoarding resources?

    A: CG_Miller - This is kind of a backwards way to think of this, but I can understand the perspective. We try to make the game engaging for all players for the time they are playing the game. This will sometimes mean that goals involve a high number of resources that we would expect a player to spend time farming. The unfortunate side effect to this is that players who were not spending those resources previously will see themselves as having a leg up compared to the other players. So in short, our goal is not to design around hoarding resources, but for those resources to be acquired and consumed over time.


    i mean, he acknowledges that hoarding gives players a leg up vs others that don't...
  • I spend it on the gear I need to continue upgrading toons I want to upgraded to G12/G13. I have 3 G13 and 8 G12 so I’m not at a point in the game where I would benefit from hoarding it.

    I don't have GS yet, but I plan to treat 70k as zero after I get him.

    I'm also hoarding GAC currency because I absolutely don't trust their statement that they don't want to put characters there. I spend a bit on Kyro but less than I gain - I'm up to 20k in reserve.
  • They may put a character in the GAC store. If they do increase the rewards, there'd be basis to do such.
  • After seeing what happened with Malak and GAS, i'm not spending any GET currency on anything but gear until I have double the highest unlock's worth. Anything else seems to just shoot you in the foot.

    Well, your options are characters or gear... if you don't have the characters there, you should get those first, and you should spend zero currency until you have at least 70k hoarded. Otherwise you'll be left behind the next time they drop an Epic.

    Yes, acquired and consumed over time.


    Point goes over your head


    Sorry no.
