Zetas Crunch

Everyone gets 6 mats a week just from daily challenges, plus however many you can turn in from fleet arena if that’s what you use that for, and that’s not including any other events that come along that reward additional zeta mats.

I honestly think it’s fine.

I would like a few more but it seems I will just always be behind in zetas as we get more and more characters that need so many and the supply we get will never be enough to catch up.

I’m on the stingier side with zetas to be honest

I think zetas should be on par with how fast you can unlock and advance your toons, f2p.

If you spend money to advance faster, I think it's fair that you also will need to spend money on zetas, or simply have to wait to get them on the same schedule as f2p players.

It's a way to keep the game balanced.

Good for you, but also guessing you have a lot of toons still to work on in your roster.
I have quite a few toons at decent relic levels who could become even better with a zeta, yet I can’t keep up with the zeta demand with all the new usable toons released in the past year or so.

I think 20 zeta mats pr week would be way to generous and would erase zetas as a meaningful material, but I do believe acquisition would rate could increase somewhat.

Zetas may not be a problem for someone who started playing consistently 6+ years ago, but for newer or returning players, 6 zeta mats from weekly challenges and 1 whole zeta for a month's worth of fleet arena isn't feasible to catch up and be competitive. You're lucky to get 3-4 whole zetas per month.

Zeta catch up mechanics are needed, like a Lightspeed Zeta bundle. If you're swimming in zetas, then you don't need to buy it. However, it allows newer/returning players to reasonably catch up with the added benefit of pumping more money into the game :smile:

If people want to spend on zetas to grow their accounts, I say let them. Omicrons are and should be the real crunch, for now. Not older mats like zetas/omegas.

Got zero problem with selling zetas at a lower price point than at present. The ftp zeta economy is fine though. Part of the problem with these threads is they pick a certain aspect of the game and say “how am I supposed to catch up?”

Well the truth is cg doesn’t believe you should. Most of kyber is getting over 400k crystals a year without spending a dime. You can tweak any economy within the game you’d like but never be able to overcome the crystal advantage longer term/higher spending accounts have.

Yes make things easier to progress for newer players and returning players. I’d have no issue adding zetas to quests that long term players don’t have access to. However, newer and returning players should also accept they’re playing a different game than those with years more play time and should adjust their expectations accordingly.

Agree, selling older mats at a lower price point is a good way to help those along feeling the crunch.

The way I see it, if CG profits from selling a follow up LS Zeta/Omega pack, then we as a community continue to get future development/content funded, and I certainly want this game to continue for another 8+ years.

So if you get resources at the same rate you need those resources, where's the resource management?

I'd buy this cereal
