It actually is up to you whether or not the elixir gets ethyl'd (tm) since players do not open crates looking for these items, and sure, the first couple hundred that hit the market might be worth something, but the rest will just, as Billy would say, sit in the back on the discount rack like another can of beans, or perhaps a Snow Vanity, which had a value of:Quote:

Point is players are opening crates for A) Something Red, B) Something Yellow, C) Plat / Gold which are 'respins' and they can open MORE crates for MORE chances at Something Red or Something Yellow. Everything else can be hot for a day or two, then just becomes filler that gets in the way. I know when I open crates, if you happen to be standing next to me, you are going to get Ethyl Bombed. Perhaps now someone is going to get Elixir Bombed.
Of course, there is an alternative, but that would be too much work. That would be CHANGING the extra thing in the crates weekly to keep its value and give players a new reason to open them. Perhaps a different elixir type, or differing vanities, constantly discontinuing the previous one. Players do LOVE discontinued items :)
Still haven't seen why I would open those crates. I don't pvp, I don't do elite, and I don't collect pets...money and plat is nice....but something for us non-hardcore players..."cough" money bomb....I know its been in talks..but just imagine someone blasting a crate and finding a floating arcane egg in-font of you..i would be in shock.Quote:

Action please. Whatever they do some are bound to complain so lets just get on with it before everyone becomes completely bored.

More story tokens! Lol I think we need something new to spend them on. Not sure what to make of the event system. Looks interesting. Free respec is always nice... Ty STS!
Cooool! :eagerness:
Can't wait.
I can't believe I missed this thread yesterday, but having read Sam's update, I have to say that this entire update has my approval.
I agree that you have to take little steps in fixing the economy. Anything drastic may go too far in the other direction and then we will have new problems created.
As for the CTF update, that is a solution that I never thought of and is a great idea. Now two players cannot keep flagging. You are encouraged to kill the other flagger so that you can flag yourself. I just hope it doesn't result in people taking turns LOL....

Or... Remove the flag achievement and leave it at 100-1k flags... Maybe not even 1k flags, there will no longer be no more flagging, how is it that hard??!
If they remove the flagging APs for 5k and 10k flags, then the Top Players leaderboard will be identical to the PvE Kills leaderboard. They have to add some more achievements. If flags are the only achievements half of the player base has yet to accomplish, then that is all people are going to want to do. Add some other achievements, and maybe so many people won't be flagging.
If they removed flag aps, how about people who dont care about lb and worked hard for that one ap they were missing just to find that it will be removed?
Arena, Bael/Krunch - when increase to 41lv ?
Um, make a special title or something for those who have already? Alright fair enough..
I'd like to see them changed to something actually fun / interesting / challenging to do. It is a game, not a hampster wheel, after all.Quote:

So yes, a lot of things need adjusting, which means it is a good thing our fabulous devs are moving things in the right direction. Hopefully the ap/lb issues are not at the bottom of that great "to do" list. People need something to work for, and It is pretty clear the staggered gear thing is not doing it.
Thx STS! This is the real Arcane Legends to be!
YEAH, I want a Deathmonger achievement for 10k deaths in CTF .XDQuote:

Hooks are only used for twinks at lv 26-31. I think they should no longer drop or even better to be upgraded to a higher lvl.Quote:

(lix for gold and now taking gold away from people that open locked). Unless you hit the 50k with prices the way they are today it not only costs you plat to open but also gold.Quote:

Nerfing the people that pay your salary doesn't seem like a bright idea to me... idk. I wouldn't feel this way if there was something to replace the nerfs but there isn't. If there were new pinks bi-weekly that did different things this might be ok but that takes work... much easier to just take stuff away from people that pay I guess.
After all where do people think most (not all but lets be real) of the orange and red items came from...js.
The 30% damage elixir is a step in the right direction.
...stop flagging??? Its called capture the flag!
Missing the point entirely.Quote:

, We do not need or do not want to turn some silly events omg why is it good again?! We need new weapons and arcane if not then at least arcane [mythic weapons to level 41 also need to upgrade mythic Aset or send it straight to the scrap? each to Mythic and arcane things shoved a lot of money .. to open locked chests on the things people put all their Goldy and now find it useless when ordinary legendary weapon that is worth 500k better than mytthic for 16 million. I think I'm Sam wants new mythic / arcane stuff on level 41 also mythic pendants are outdated at lvl31 .. I ask support to let komentu express and let them communicate such plans to continue the mythic things that are now, or send them directly to scrap mozme ? or sell for a pittance? or will be improved as it will therefore be of those mythic and arcane things come even some new? and if so when?
Waocaseki...
Ps: sorry for my english :)) :D
Ty for fast answers
Agreed, Gold sink need. But the solution is NOT items in weapons, armor, etc. All that will do is shift the money around. What are needed are better gold purchasable consumables, this will actually remove gold from the system.
Even now, with people paying 100m for arcane rings only served to move that money to another player. There needs to be a way for gold to leave, and right now I don't think there is an effective sink.
What can you spend gold on? Pots? They are dirt cheap. Pets? 1k gold to keep them happy? That's nothing, and farmers don't even pay that as they rotate pets. Anything going through CS only results in a small fraction of the transaction leaving the system, and those that merch and sell directly to players circumvents that too.
Where is the gold? Is the coffers of a limited number of rich players, hence, you can't have something purchasable for small amounts as it won't remove enough gold. You need something valuable that will cost upwards of 1m or so that will give a player something that will be consumable and/ or breakable, and will thus leave the system. What that is, I have no idea.
Awesome Stuff, can't wait for all the new content. I'm fairly new and can't wait to add Ripmaw as my new mythic pet. All I need is Slag and Grimm to complete my mythic pet set. I wish they would sell an Arcane pet for one day only in store. I wouldn't mind paying 500 plat for arcane pet lol. That last part will never happen but I can dream lol. I have bad luck with locked crates
Finally! Thanks.
Silly events? No one complain like u complain..Quote:

The events are a great idea. Who complains about new content? Makes me lol. STS is doing a tip top job delivering content at a fast pace. Keeps people entertained.
The damage elixir in the locks needs to be upgraded to something else. Never good to downgrade your money producer. Then again only STS knows if this has had an effect on how many were opened. Maybe it's not as big of a deal as I think it is. It's definitely a downgrade though.
Awesome, glad to see new events coming soon. Always fun to play these mini-expansions
Not complaining about the new client. Just the outdated loot inside locked. Come on sts flip us some new orange and red. You guys keep taking these baby steps, time to jump in with both feet.

Zzz ripmaw really? Want to make money sts? Include some more pets to stable. Or are we saving these for their own weekends while we patiently wait something new?

Seems Funy, Thx StS...
1= flag = maybe clear all the flag points and giwe to old flaggers a good banner... new players cant catch that 10 k flag easy as old players... also there a leaderboard hmmm.. idk idea can be change but should do samething for it... and i liked the new flag system finaly Ctf will be funny but 10 k flag seems scary now...
NOT: personaly i dont care Kdr, and i think no 1 does care... because kdr not showeing player skill, its mostly shoveing who waste so long time for the kill afk players... i dont care so much about ctf pvp kdr on my char, also dont care pvp AP to, its wasnt funy to collect flag without challenge... at point i liked new ctf idea...
2= gold sink = what about breezage egg or only plat buyable pets +++ can be loot on a new chest.. chest can be drop in arena and can be opened 10-15 k... and maybe put in that chest a new pet to...
--- also sell in shop 1-2 new legendary / mythic / arcane pets with gold <<< its should a limited time and pets untradedable and that arcane pets shouldnt strong as best pet in game because ppls need to open crates for the best items.. but not so weak to...
for example mythic pet 1 mil, arcane egg 4 mil... its will take so much gold in game and its can repeatable every time when there a gold silk need ( should repeatable every 3-5 month for the giwe buy chance to new players and prize can be change about game economy )
--- new mythic ring / armor / amulat weapon / helmet can be craft with 1 mil gold + hard quests...
--- sell plat buyable pets for gold for a weekend... example not seeing a slag seller, it was 250 plat right ? so sell it for 2 mil untradedable.. also can be abaddon to, or that pets we need for achievements and pets only buyable with plat... that ideas bad for community i know because selling that pets for the plat, but i think its will be good for players if only sell for limited time and untradedable...
--- hmm going to add idea, ton of idea in my mind but my post going to soo long :) so enought hehehe
And maybe a new map enter ticket can be buyable with plat or gold...
hey sts it is obvious you are trying to make money from ripmaw but would it be a better idea to add some mythic and red and you can make money from lock instead! at least we hv a stimulation to gamble again in lock
Wth? U said red? Arcane added in every expansion only..Quote:
