Very sad Era materials Economics

Hello everyone.

I’d like to bring up a point regarding the material economy of the current era. Based on an article from CG about two months ago, I was under the impression that during this era, even F2P accounts capable of unlocking DJJ at 5 stars would be able to upgrade up to six characters to level 116 (as stated in the attached screenshot).

CG’s post from the start of Era of Myths and Legends.

I see they mentioned upgrading from level 110 to 116, but nowhere did they mention that F2P players wouldn't have enough materials to even reach level 110 for those six characters in the first place. I’m disappointed because I had factored that into my plans. I’m missing approximately 15,000 Mk VI modules and about 400 Mk VI cores to get 2 more characters from 95 to 116. Is this intentional, or does CG plan to provide these materials? Because I don't plan on spending ~$30 or tens of thousands of crystals on them, especially since I already have the relevant purple Mk VII materials.

    Multiple posts where Meat was tagged and still radio silence.  It’s pretty clear this is deliberate and unfortunately it looks like enough people bought the episode passes that there won’t be enough pushback for them to do anything.

    They completely kept their end of the bargain on this one. You can get enough -Mark VII- materials to get 6-7 characters to 116. They just left out the little detail that you can’t get enough -Mark VI- materials, which were mot mentioned in the post. 

    This is why you don’t make deals with the sith. They always alter the deal. Always.

    CG has said all along that F2P should be able to get all era characters to gear 12 if you just play along and keep up everyday.  I saved crystals and did 4* on all to get 4* DJJ and only have 4 of 7 at gear 12 with no possibility of getting any others to up.  I have 1000 more MKVI Besh Modules to get when I finally beat Jotaz and Krayt Tier 10, but that's it and the 60 per day in the Ronin 4* tier is nothing.  I invested in DJJ to get him to 110, and I get that takes away from one of the era characters getting to Gear 12, but I shouldn't be 3 characters short.   Just so tired of this..............

  • Unfortunately, this was brought up and unaddressed a couple of months ago when they made that post. In order to bring 6 characters up to era level 110 you need to get the third episode pass. Definitely something they should have highlighted when communicating about what era levels we can expect for reaching certain tiers.

    I swear something is going on.  I did a quick spreadsheet calc yesterday, and thought I had enough material to take 6 of 7 to 115, but just redid it again this morning and I am quite short.  Either I made a mistake in my calcs yesterday, or material disappeared between then and now.  I never know anymore with how CG runs this game.

    I did that with DJJ and Soda, and focusing everything from here on into Ronin.

    You’re right, it would be good to get some feedback from CG_Meathead​  on whether they plan to address this—and potentially provide the missing materials—or if we should just go ahead and use our Mk VII mats to upgrade DJJ to level 120 instead.

  • Tag Meathead to see what our communications officer can talk the team into for the player base. 

  • Let’s hope it’s just incompetence and they’ll fix it but I wouldn’t count on it.
