The Rise of the Omega Bottleneck / Weeklies

Pointer:

- Does the bottleneck exist at large?
- If it does what solution do you propose?

Every bottleneck is getting worse .... mostly

Goldeyeball salvage - made worse

Credits - worse

Shard shop currency from bronziums-made worse

Stuns pop rate in GET/SS - some reports lower rate (not seen evidence but seems lower last month)

More Purple gear being needed at lower levels (cancerous, who else)

More almost mandatory needed toons than ever needed at once before. ways to get that gear.....
no change. That said i guess GA gives gear but tank rewards being what they are post challenge gear fix worse...

Keeps getting tighter and tighter....

I wonder if this has any correlation to the big 3rd party crystal scandal. Had to be a TON of future Revanue lost in those temp bans handed out... seems like things started getting tighter before all that happened.... but they knew way before they announced it so maybe the tightening is just corporate insuring numbers at least stay the same and do not drop..... that i can believe

Lots of bottlenecks most of them needed we all know that we all accept that..... the making them worse part to offset some lost earnings or just to make some extra here and there is the part i do not like they were bad enough.....

Solutions

Challenge reworks maybe

Go back to heists from a year ago

Stuns appear more often in shops (Ya still gotta have currency for em). No reason for it to be random really oh ...... refreshes $$$$$$$$. Which good reason for em not popping as much

A real solution..... prob not one game needs bottlenecks..... but we had em before NO reason for them to make em worse

When this is 90% of your fleet challenges Every time for months there is zero goodwill towards the RNG junk way they are delivered.... but hey someone getting 3-4 every challenge day so its fair NOT


They tell you your bad and to get gud when their RNG allows them to be better cause for some it never EVER levels off because it never has to

There needs to be several bottlenecks at all times, that's true. My qualm with omegas is mainly that our acquisition rate of them doesn't coincide with zetas. For quite a time I'm experiencing an omega bottleneck while I do fine with zetas.

Haven't run out of omega's (yet). I've got 54 zeta's equiped. 96 zeta matts and 95 omegas hoarded.
I do however have quite a few abilities that can be omega'd at the moment.
as a side note, i'm seeying multiple players running out of purple matts on discord.

In short, try to be a little more mature even as a game player.

Ok, I'll try to mature up and be like you. Thanks for your non-contribution.

How do they even manage to run out of purples, are they newish players?

It's pretty easy when you are still powering up squads to round out your GA/TW rosters.

At around 9 months played I still have bottlenecks on purples, omegas and zetas as well as various gear pieces *cough*Carbantis,*cough* I work within these limitations by being selective about what I upgrade and when.

....We get MORE omegas than zetas.

Just ignore that guy. All he does is post pictures of his obviously-whaled account and claim to be FTP. It's a semi original form of trolling at least, I guess.

True, but it's not proportional. You don't get THAT many more omegas than zetas, but omegas are far more commonly needed - even a "generic" 3-ability character needs 15 omegas. Some characters don't need zetas at all, and every zeta ability also requires a big pile of omegas. So while you do get more omegas than zetas, the increased rate at which they're spent means you eventually hit a point where you're sitting on a pile of zetas you can't use because you don't have enough omegas.

I'm constantly out of purples. I played pretty hard back at the start and then didn't play for an extended period before I came back. I've been going hard for about a year now and I still can't hold on to purples. I have to treat 30 of them as my "zero" because if I didn't, I'd never be able to add zeta abilities with how many of them I still need for the various squads I want to build up. Half the time I do mod challenges instead of farming slicing mats just because they cough up a decent amount of purples. Ditto prioritizing the 16-energy cantina farms over the easier ones.

I'm just now finally starting to get to a point where I can sometimes store up 75-100 before a whole bunch go out the window, but it'll still be a while before they become inconsequential like the green and blue mats.
