The New marquee

I've been trying to figure out where I sit after day 1. I watched most of Ahnald's stream, as well as did the usual thing I do for new Marquees. (Too bad the new coliseum mode has limited replayabi...

This whole system is new, so I could be very wrong in my current thinking.

I think the era levels are not worth investing in at all. If you are a long-time, 13M player, gearing new toons up to G13 should be essentially automatic on passive gear gains in other modes. The only thing era levels get you are gear levels when the era ends and more currency to buy R10 mats. But, if you're a long-time, 13M player, I assume you also don't chase for a ton of 100% maxed toons. So what are you going to do with some extra R10 mats?

For me, a long-time, 14M player who spent some in the past ($600 lifetime but not a penny since DCs were announced), my current plan is to farm the marquee shards/tiers like I always have, auto the coliseum battles to get the rewards I get, hoard R10 mats until they're required or I have a surplus, and let everything else fall in place.

Maybe.. I dunno :-) That was my iniital thought. Im going to try the next toon at 3* and see what happens. there is too much new material to be able to understand the longer term impact. Probably wont know which is right until Next march :-P

Maybe the stars is still the right thing to pursue... It just never occured to me until I was looking at this that perhaps that has changed. We'll have to see how the other events effect things too. GCs are being replaced with some ERA level thing... higher era levels maybe have a more significant impact there... Its all so confusing :-)
