Now there is still a valid, respectful and constructive follow-up question, relayed by many concerned players in this thread, and left unanswered.

I will respectfully not let go of this issue.

I PMed Trick asking him to compare a IV and V and got no response. My chase for anything nice is over...if I get something cool I will use it until it is ruined by an unnecessary change. Its all typos and OP items those damn dirty traders are scamming people out of.

The problem is that there is a clear contradiction between the stated intent of the system (to make all epic shields valuable, and all legendary shields very valuable) and the actual result (epic IV and orange V aren't really any good, whereas they were before the change). This has not been addressed, either by you or by Trick. This is what people are annoyed or even pissed off about.

And you know what's more worrying about it? It's that there's a history of this in this game. Players point out that there is a problem again and again. They are told that things are working as intended, that there is no problem, that everything is fine. Then, one day, someone comes and says "Arkhunters, we have found and fixed an issue with x, and now x is going to be even more awesome!". I know that in most cases you're aware of issues and hard at work to fix them, but you only have limited resources so fixes don't come as fast as we would like them. But from time to time, there is an issue like this that we have to struggle to make you accept that it even exists, and it's annoying.

Most of us are grown-ups, we can understand why things get changed even if we don't like it, as long as these changes are coherent. But sometimes we cannot see the coherence in these changes, and if no one addresses our arguments as to why the changes look incoherent to us, then we cannot understand them.

The reason I don't submit feedback in-game is that I have no way to tell what happens to it afterwards. At least on the forums there is a chance for direct dev or CM feedback, as well as the possibility of getting other people on board with your idea / suggestion / complaint / report, which helps it gain traction.

Sums up my thoughts and concerns on the matter.
Well said Tek, and many other good points in this thread, by others.

Yep he's not going to respond to you. I remember PM'ing him about nanos missing on weapons after the 1.105 patch (weapon roll patch). This was a couple weeks after the patch came out and we knew what weapons weren't coming with nanos. Didn't respond, but he mentioned it on the live stream in a smart tone, and still took months before it was finally fixed.

As for shields. Here are some examples of what we have now compared to the Respark V that is still the same (all at 5000 EGO just because I know the caps for Resparks at 5k is 8898 :)).

Respark Regenerator III DX - EGO 5000
50% Regen
8898 Capacity
40% Rate
2.7 Delay
this would have been a Respark Regenerator V DX with these stats (2.7 delay, 50% regen) pre DLC5

Respark Regenerator IV EX - EGO 5000
75% Regen
8898 Capacity
40% Rate
2.55 Delay
better than most orange resparks, even now, with these stats (and certainly something I would use over a plain Respark V)

I could go on, but I think most stuff has already been said, just wanted to drop these two examples. And I could say that blue Respark Regen III DX is better than an orange Respark V now...

Thread title: Trion - Please do not ignore this post

So Trion replies and THEN ignores the post.

Funny.

Bumping for interest...

Like to say (off topic) that the shields are still glitching in the WarMaster chamber.
