We have calculators.

That's it. That's the whole post. Maybe remember that before lying about things that numbers can prove.

The Power of Math! 🧮

MrSakuragi

There needs to be a steady drip of essentia… why? Why are our earned rewards being put on hold to put us level with people that either haven’t earned them or already spent them.

Cretzu

What about those that used Essentia to get raid tickets before you re-introduced the ability to purchase them with old currency? Those players got screwed. You made no announcement that you would be making those currencies available again.

Cretzu

And the players that fairly earned and hoarded resources have no ability to use that as an advantage, why? They were earned fair and square. No different than having those resources in the old system.

Yeah kabam literally ignored us for no reason. It's not our fault they couldn't send out a simple announcement saying they will return the old raid tickets. The people that used up their glory for raid tickets also lost out on essentia since Kabam didn't announce they were removing the glory cap. Embarrassment of a company

me after reading the Kabam post:

Pseudonymous

I'm not even a resource hoarder and i don't care if they get more essentia to start. There are purchase limits.

Exactly, good point.

I guess putting forth a dumb illogical rationale is better than them saying: "We have trade-in limits on old currency because we want to make sure the whales stay hungry for the weekly sales."

Kabam is treating the essentia store like it has game changing materials. When all they've done is move the same materials from the 3 stores to this new one. The conversion shouldn't need to be 'drip fed,' we had access to nearly all these materials in the original stores.

They've also added purchase limits, which prevents someone from infinitely buying the same thing. In my opinion, this acts the same as 'drip feeding' as it stop us from purchasing too much of a resource.

Also,

Kabam either needs to change the rewards of the super weekly event to give essentia instead of the glory, artifacts and BG tokens or increase the conversion rates a week. With the super weekly event still giving us 1k glory, 4k artifacts, & 4k BG tokens, I would hope the incursion rate increase would accommodate for this. The current format will cause players to never run out of these materials through pure conversion.

There should be some compensation for those of us who bought the raid tickets with essentia. It's not fair.

MrSakuragi

Why is there a time limit on the trade ins? Or maybe it’s just proof that the limits are too low. It will take me 69 weeks/483 days to trade in all of my artifacts. The trade ins expire in 275 days. Other currencies have similar problems.

Voodoocompany

Throwing it out there, but with level increases there were perks of increased capacity for artifacts, glory and trophy.

So what takes the place of those perks or do they just go away? Did they just essentia-ly nerf leveling up?

Can someone explain to me why they said it would be a 1 to 1 exchange or should feel like that in the live stream. Right now the t6cc is way less then I could have gotten. I know the radiance store change is yet to happen. But this feels like a regression to me. I very well could be missing some things. But man this is such a fumble. I remember talking to my alliance about this and anticipating a messy situation. But this is horrific. Now kabam is playing damage control and seeing the scope of how bad this launch is going. It's such a blatant push for pay to win it's crazy. Weren't shuffle signets 5 daily? And they just upped how many times you could use them then bottlenecked them in the store. There are so many little things seeping through the cracks. I mean this is not surprising at all. It's very typical for this kind of thing with kabam. I'm just hoping it's not a long drawn out fix and they take feedback seriously and fix things swiftly this time. They have had lots of messy roll outs to learn from that these things should be fixed quickly right?

Could be. They might have seen how many people ranked and leveled up during the Banquet and decided to nerf it "for the good of the game".

At this point, it's starting to feel like an abusive relationship lol. Do something to harm the community and then gaslight us about how great things are.

Because now they are budgeting the rewards we earned in the past.... They took the Disney buying Marvel thing too serious and turned Kabam into Scrooge McDuck

Ugnaut

I’m they definitely don’t seem to think thru anymore, its certainly gotten worse since they layoffs a couple summers ago. There isn’t much quality control, it’s like let’s fix things on the fly. They still haven’t even fixed the glory cap for people who have the sigil as it stands right now. I don’t really care about the weekly limit if they left the other stores open and raised the weekly limits amount because they are so super low. I mean literally it could take you a like a year to get rid of some of your stuff that is ridiculous. Also the essentia store is weak as far as the variety of items to get when you are combing glory and battlegrounds, its missing stuff.

So I can either:

buy 10 raid ticket for 20k Loyalty.
buy 10 raid ticket for 700 Essentia
buy 10 raid tickets by exchanging 10k per 100 Essentia, totalling 70k Loyalty

Did you ask Temu ChatGPT to convert the store values or what went wrong?

This seems like it was rushed again (like so many other things)
