Big change in 8.1 Beta

edited May 2022 in General Discussion

I don't remember ever seeing a Beta that could impact your normal account. I'm okay with it since I personally am in the Beta and appreciate the reasonable rewards for the effort in testing out new content.

I'm interested to see the reactions of those not in the Beta though.

Edit: looks like exploration of 8.1 will give 44 placeholder shards, or 22k real-account shards after the beta is over.

    It's not 22k. You get 500 for the completion of each quest and then another 500 for exploration. 6k total

    There aren't 44 place holders. 1 at quest completion and 1 at quest exploration for each quest. Then 1 at chapter exploration. That's 13. 6500 shards.

    For me I’m counting 44 though.

    You can only get completion once for each quest....

    While not the end of the world 22k 6* shards is still a pretty big give considering no real resources are spent in beta testing.

    Yes 4 of them out of 6 quset meant 24 in totalt. There is 6 quset I’m believing you don’t count all quset but one of them only

    22k is definitely not enough for me to grind it out lol
    This exactly. While it’s nice that you get shards but it takes a lot of time to grind stuff out. I may try out a few paths as time permits but definitely not grinding it out just for the shards.

    You get shards that aren’t added to your crystal stash but instead are some sort of item, they are stored differently and each actually represents 500 crystal shards for your real account.

    Per usual, should have been announced beforehand. I didn't opt in this time. Had I known, I would have.

    Why didn't you opt in. Just because you opt in doesn't mean you have to do it. I opted in mainly so I could have fun with my mastery setups lol.
