Best Of

Just thought I’d post again to make sure it’s not forgotten about.

I think, and this is just me talking here, I have no direct knowledge of Kabam's plans in this situation explicitly, Kabam has placed a timer on this because they don't want people to hoard the old currencies. They want to give players a push to actually convert them and use them as quickly as the game will allow. They do not want players to get the impression there's any advantage to holding onto them. So there's a timer.

But Kabam will watch player inventories to see if their trade in facilities combined with players' intake of Essentia actually allow players to convert it all before the timer expires. If the circumstances appear to force players to not convert (let's say the amount of Essentia we earn is high enough that some players would run into the Essentia cap if they converted too quickly) then Kabam will reevaluate both the timer and the trade in limits, as well as the currency caps.

I think things are unclear right now because Kabam itself does not know what will happen 270 days from now. Maybe everyone will have fully converted. Maybe some time in July they decide the economy can handle faster conversion and doubles the trade limits. Maybe half the player base decides to hoard Glory because they think the Glory Fairy will come along and reward them with something. Kabam probably does not want to specifically state what their plans are because they want the option to change the system to ensure everyone converts successfully eventually. The last thing they want to do is have really active players with large stashes of currency get stranded unable to convert and staring at the prospect of losing a ton of hard earned currency. They want the option to change things however they see fit to ensure that doesn't happen, without completely eliminating the currency conversion throttles entirely.

we’ve had our differences, but all the best. I feel exactly the same as you, but I can’t bring myself to call it quits after sinking 10 years into this fiasco of a game

There was an immediate problem with Glory: a lot of players keep large balances of Glory and to avoid the cap they buy stuff just after store reset to make room before they collect the Glory from last week's AQ. They are always one day away from capping out Glory and losing a ton of it.

But this conveyer belt only works if the Glory store exists to dump a lot of Glory into before having to collect Glory sitting in the stash about to expire. And when the Glory store was removed, there was nowhere for that Glory to go. Players could not convert enough Glory to get far enough under the cap, and in fact there are players who lost Glory because their Glory either expired or they collected and ran into the cap. Furthermore, because this week's AQ also awards Glory, without a change to the Glory cap all those players would run into the problem next week all over again, so even the players who lost Glory this week still needed a solution for next week.

Technically every legacy currency can run into this problem, but it is vastly more pervasive and problematic for Glory than Artifacts or Tokens so it was the focus of the emergency changes.

I really hope they publish something about how they intend to solve this problem... but I'm not getting my hopes up too much.

Mbaku isn't even the best evade/autoblock counter in the Titan crystal. Yes Heimdall is geared more for long form content, and Mbaku ostensibly seems targeted for shortform content, but looking just at the kit, Heimdall brings more to the table (even in a crowded Cosmic class) than Mbaku does to the Skill class.

And, its pretty funny that Heimdall even has a better synergy with Okoye than Mbaku does.

@Kabam (Osaurus) Rex @KabamPinwheel @Kabam Crashed please look into this! Why are these being reduced significantly?

They are both in the Titan crystal still, so you might just dupe them from that. There will be plenty more coming up with all of the things about to come out. Mr. Knight's dupe is mostly for battlegrounds if that helps.
