8.3 Reward Predictions [NOT OFFICIAL]

Jinxesaxe

Although admittedly, it may be a bit early to be speculating on these things, I was bored this weekend and decided to make some predictions on 8.3 rewards, and throw my hat in the ring on this one.

I based my predictions on the rewards already given in Act 8, how rewards grew from 7.2 -> 7.3, and how they grew from 8.1 -> 8.2.

The actual rewards might be worse than my predictions. They might be better. I might be spot on. Whatever it may be, this is meant to be for fun, and I ask that discussion remains productive and doesn’t devolve into arguing.

You're forgetting that it's half the content everything else was before it.

They said when the beta came out that they would keep with the reward model they’ve been using, just reducing the amount of paths to refocus resources and make other areas of the game better!

Definitely something I thought of, but toning down rewards because it’ll be less grindy would be a bit silly lol.

If I can find a video/link that goes over that stuff, I will post it in here!

Let's be honest, there were many watered down paths in 8.2. While it sucks that we get half as much content, it will be nice to have higher quality paths.

Hey! I found a video containing this info!

https://youtu.be/8CXwpbURzZA

It’s a richtheman MCN, and at 7:25 under the “UPDATING THE STORY QUEST STANDARD” heading, they state that they’re only reducing the number of paths per quest, and leaving everything the same as the standard they’ve set! Hope this helps!

I think you have too many 6* shards, t3a, and t6b in both the completion and exploration rewards.

The post RichTheMan references doesn't mention the rewards cadence. It mentions the standard of how Story content has been presented. There hasn't been any sort of normal standard for rewards as we've always guessed at what they'd be and we're never close.

I'm still going to caution you to realize they cut the Act in half. In the beta forums, it was asked about rewards and an answer was never given.

I was definitely thinking that, and was between a few metrics on those items, but decided to be more optimistic than pessimistic.

I could see them going lower though, for sure.

I remember being in that forum and remember there being a statement about the rewards. Rewards ARE part of how content is presented. I could be misremembering or misunderstanding though.

Appreciate the warning!

Little too ambitious on the 7* shards.

Maybe so! What do you think would be a more accurate estimate?

I figured since they gave out a full 7 star in the shooting stars quest, and 4,000 in 8.2, there might be a chance of 8,000 in 8.3.

I’m loving this discourse! I’d love to hear what you think might be more likely!

Oh? How many do you think would be awarded? I just figured with seven stars coming out, we could possibly see more six star stones!
