TIER ONE ALPHA SHORTAGE....

What's the deal.

I finished master and epic of mole man.

100 percent master and epic EQ.

Now I want to get t1a and there is no options.

It takes so much to rank up champs.

It's becoming harder to get per volume than T4B.

I can't be the only person who feels this way.

Use Glory.

With the updates to the Glory Store, T1A is almost expensive as a T4B. I think they should have been made much cheaper.
If you only do epic/uncollected quests you get everything you need to rank up 5 stars except T1As.

I'm ranking up five stars from rank 3 or 4 every week.

That's roughly 20 T1A a week for that.

@Frivolousz21 exactly!
Either they provide more chance to acquire t1A or reduce the amount required for 5* rank-ups, personally I believe that needing 5 t1A to rank 2 a 5* is too much.

Epistriatus

Yes 5* rank-ups require a lot of t1a.
Yes I at the moment also have a shortage, that’s mainly because I choose to rank up a lot of 5* champs last few weeks, at a faster rate than I could acquire t1a. Now I have to slow down and plan how I’m going to fill up my stash again (upcoming side quest, upcoming monthly event quest, black iso market, glory store) and then I have to decide whom I’m going to take to rank 5: NF or Void, or both, the latter choice will probably result in me having a shortage of t1a again for other rank-ups.

That's your choice to rank up that often. If you're using t1as that often, of course you'll feel there's a shortage problem. It comes down to resource management.

This rant about t1a shortage is nothing new, in fact several threads have been made in just the last day.

As we all know, just because you want something, doesn't mean kabam will give it to you, or should!

You can get up to 24 T1 alphas in next months side quest

And folks will use them up so quickly, they will start posting about another t1a shortage!

I think Act 6/Glory store/AQ changes have made this more prevalent because t2a are now way more available. But t1a are still the same. As a result the t2a flow is starting to outpace the t1a flow needed to use those t2a for people exploring endgame content. You need 16 t1a to use 4 t2a essentially.

This is resulting in an economy where you cant spend your valued resources due to poor design creating a shortage of the less valuable.

You choice is to hold on content and not play the game essentially in order to not risk expiring resources or explore the content and hope you can get the materials on time.
