Regarding Mythic and Arcane Items and the Dragon Enclave Expansion

[Okatare]

Just thinking of couple friends.. who saved up and upgraded their mythics like 2-3 weeks ago. They wasted all they had. And if it turns to be useless in a week.. they are broke. And I am sure they are not the only ones. The "Rich-poor" gap grows larger

[Paulsebi]

Good news!

[borix]

Why are so many people saying they will be useless?

They will become less expensive (which is -I am sorry- good for most people) but they will certainly not become useless.

Not only will they not become useless they will still be DECENT gear to farm with for the NEW gear that will make them more money. I have a feeling this expansion is going to have a lot more farming options.

Also I find it NOT ironic that the people that want all the mythic and arcane items currently in game to be made irrelevant are the people without them... go figure right...

Quite the opposite actually. Most of us "pro" players (the ones who have been playing since season 1 & 2) are the ones saying that the mythics should NOT be upgraded. Every single one of us has the best mythic and arcane items. We just know from experience that the game is more fun when the elite legendary items have good value. We know this because we played during seasons 1-3 when that situation existed.

I don't care if my mythics become obsolete. I will farm, merch, etc.....and I will work hard to get new ones. It has become boring having mythics now anyway because everyone has them. It was fun early in season 4 when I had mythics because most players did not yet have them and I was able to dominate in PvP.

The game becomes boring when everyone has the same gear. I want them to release some new gear. I will work hard, save my money, and hopefully I will acquire that gear before most other players so that I can enjoy that same kind of period that I did early in season 4. That is what makes the game fun. It is a big challenge. Without that kind of challenge, the game becomes very boring.

Was it so hard to just upgrade the existing mythics using a recipe or quest to give additional properties or craft a better armor from existing? Was it really necessary to remove the old mythics and make them useless/ worthless/ untradeable while still keeping them in the Locked pool? So now in addition to gaining mostly crap from lockeds you will in addition get rare mythic crap.

STS honestly in addition to locked drops just allow people to open a crate from store for 16 plat whenever they wish rather than having to farm for eternity or buy lockeds from market. Also allow gold to be converted to plat so that more people can access locked crates.

False. Very false.

Listen to great and wise energize he speaks the truth

Good decisions by sts b/c they need to evolve to keep making $ in turn to better content for us. You want a static game with the same gear all the time trying playing space legends. Got to max lvl (I think 46) and had nothing better to do, nothing to accomplish no better gear to obtain. You might as well start rolling credits, you'll be done with the game.

It IS frustrating to buy something (either through time or real $) and then to see the value of it go big time down in a few days. If this gets to you, I suggest never buying things when they are first introduced. You like singe? Wait a bit and you'll see the cost drop significantly when other pets are introduced. Buy things knowing the value drops (almost always) as soon as you buy them. Open an egg, it's no longer worth anything in the market. Buy and enjoy a mythic and understand there is a shelf life or half life to it.

Btw, I really enjoyed the upgrading of the mythics. You had to work it a little to get something instead of just being able to buy it. Why not make a special mythic crown obtainable through the combination of owning a full set of mythics and by completing another quest? Owning a previous set allows you to quest for one type of crown and owning other set allows you to quest for another. And then perhaps a special vanity then, and then etc... You would have players tripping over themselves trying to keep and obtain all the complete sets. No one would think and of it was junk or outdated b/c there was a good possibility even an older set would still be needed.

Great job developers! Cheers!

[aarrgggggg]

Buying mage mythic set armor and helm 500k for the set sound good??????

[Spyce]

Thanks for the information.

[Xeusx]

yay, no more rumors now XD
Which mean mythic or arcane will be useless heheheheh XD

[Energizeric]

BTW, level 26 mythic helm and level 31 mythic armor will continue to be valuable as they will be needed for the crafting APs. So looting them out of a locked crate will still yield 1m+ per item.

[jhopper]

Wooohooo!!! New mythic and arcane ready to pass down my mythic to another toon.

[Dr.deaths]

we cannot wait

[chayou]

lazy

[KKIDIRA]

Thx for the info :-)

[harneez]

I hope mythic armor and helmet can upgrade to lvl 41.....please..

[Thrucho]

I spent 4m to get my mythic armor and helmet. 3 months ago!!.. now I cant sell it and it won't be upgradeable in this expansion! This sucks man
