Warning: Blessings nerf headed our way

[Snakespeare]

We had G in chat and he said to expect a huge nerf of Blessings coming, perhaps as soon as Monday. People have been creating toon armies to reap massive plat, which isn't what they intended. It's hard to tell exactly what they will nerf, but I expect the 30 plat drop to go away. We mentioned that people consider a 3x stackable combo to be superior to 30 plat, and he responded that it's also much less exploitable. So maybe he's open to the idea of making the 3x combo the top blessing even on day 5.

Anyway, my next day 5 is Tuesday, so people on the same schedule as me will possibly be the first to experience this nerf.

good luck!

This what happen when you abuse the system

Im pretty sure they nerfed the plat rewards already. I got 100+ the first couple weeks, and 10-20 since. I have 17 toons I think.

That's weird, because after not getting anything except for gold and elixirs for the longest time, I've gotten 100+ plat in the past few weeks or so, and I only have 2 toons.

I'd much rather have 30 plat than a 3x combo myself. By far. Just my preference. I'll take whatever STS wants to dish out, since it's all free and whatnot. I feel a little sad for people who would create toons just to take advantage of this system, although I think we all saw it coming.

Moth, you know i love you man. But really, Idk if its just me, but i havent had plat for a good year, and ive pretty much been catching up. not as fast as all of yall with plat. I dont know, maybe its just me. I dont feel the need to be at the top at any point anymore.

1) Don't know how to merch i.e. no gear
2) PvE is boring as hell, and i'm not grinding through 50k xp to get to 75.
3) Everything is plat based
4) I'm really just tired of the game. Been at it too long. Time for AL and SL.

Amen and amen. I just spent the little remnants of my gold on a death set for my bird. Thats the only character I play now for pvp...AL ftw!

Day 5 is Sunday for me hope I get lucky before nerf

[CrimsonTider]

I'm fine with the plat nerf. Not fine with the stupid face shields.

[Ebalata]

Agree, I hope they take away the shields when they nerf the plats

I'm curious though, are they nerfing the elixirs as well?

[Ubernewber]

I'm not such a good farmer :/

Before anymore ppl accuse me and call me out for "exploiting" I'm gonna let you guys know this post was meant as a joke sts knows the truth.

You had me fooled! LOL! I was marveling at your ability to scroll the list. You know, every time you change characters it starts at the top of the list, so the first five or ten blessing, no prob, but after that it starts to become a workout for the thumb.

I had 28 toons when blessings started. Eight are mules (yes I have that much trash and they can only carry 500 each), and I have one for every twink level in increments of 5, then there's the ambassador toon who is retired, and the guardian toon for a largely inactive guild, and farming twink who are at low range levels (like 21) and the rest I play with xp unlocked. I'm not as big a fan of the difficult frequent death zones at high levels, so I run around in noob land with these alts. You gotta understand that I am still a DM in D&D and I just like having a whole slew of characters.

So I never intended to exploit, but the first time I only did my top three (one pure of each). But when I saw their rewards I realized I should be doing all of them.

Lol I know how it looked but I got 7 characters to keep track of, I couldn't imagine having to scroll through 30 characters let alone the idea of 160 that ppl actually believed I had. I was just irritated that a funny little comment would have a few("friends") would call me a "cheat" and or "exploiter".

[Justg]

Any system that is exploitable will be exploited. This speaks to a bigger challenge that I'd love to hear your thoughts on.

We obviously don't want to give away huge amounts of plat because it is our source of revenue. We do, however, want to encourage you guys to come back on a regular basis.

What would be a set of awesome, non-exploitable rewards that would not ruin the economy (like gold) or our revenues (like platinum)?

Thanks Snakes for broaching the subject!
