So what was the justification for the mod slot price change and adding scrip to keys?

[DSW]

I too miss the old mod cost system.
I went from 1.000.000 Salvage to 400K'ish in a day.
Insane...

ADDENDUM: The game's economy system needs a change as well, not a major one, but still.
The scrip cost for things FAR outweigh the income.
Meaning, I guess, that newcomers get/stay poor like... well... forever?

can't tell about current state, but for me to move from welfare to middle class in game took about 3000 EGO

I miss the less expensive mod slots a lot.

Every weapon that i got after patch are as they are, with missing slots. And the 6 legendarys that i got after that...i`ts crazy even to think about the arksalvage needed to open those slots

[Midori Oku]

I'm willing to bet they will add an option to open mod slots with bits.

Yes. I would like scapes or kiwibird to address this for the community.

These were two changes that were adopted due to player feedback in the past and they were reverted with this DLC, with no mention or explanation at all. They didn't even get mentioned in the patch notes (you really need to stop doing that, every patch has things that don't get mentioned and we're quite tired of it)

You have some 'splainin to do.

It does remind me of the first few months of the game. Back then the prices were extreme. They lowered/removed them. Now they have brought them back to almost as extreme as original. I would, like the previous prices back. But of course I also liked the key fragment system from beta. Can we have that back too? And the beta gun you keep asking for, that all us ORIGINALS miss, needs to be given back as well!

I'm going to pretend that they accidentally overwrote the prices with an older version and have been too busy fighting the other problems to fix it yet. Because otherwise it would seem like a ploy to sell more $80 weapons, and they wouldn't screw us over that hard, right? Right?

To be honest, I actually don't have too big an issue with the increased mod costs, since I'm not likely to mod a weapon I'm not willing to invest some resources into anyways. My only real issue is that the scoring system makes getting funds at all kind of slow for us people who are too green to efficiently solo worthwhile content.

As a noob aside, has it always cost 25k Salvage to reset the mastery of an orange weapon? Seems a little excessive to pay that just so you can continue getting weapon experience. It feels like it would be better just to run greens while I grind experience (since they cost only 4% as much to reset).

Yes, for the most part you are better off finding a good blue or purple weapon with decent rolls and using that to level up the skills. Once you get to 20, it makes the oranges that much more powerful.

Resets used to cost a lot more real early when they first put the feature in. But they quickly fixed it to be based on rarity of your weapon instead of EGO which was how it used to be.

I'm alright with opening mod slots costing a little more than they used to. But the salvage to keys conversion costing so much scrip just don't make any sense to me. Even on my EGO 5000 character I wouldn't convert any salvage to keys anymore. I'd rather keep the salvage to open weapons for my 2200 character or maybe help other friends with opening slots if they wanted.

Used to cost 100k, for about a week then lowered to 50k, so 25 is cheap for an orange. Never remaster an orange! Use blue/purples to get your weapon skill up. I always keep atleast 2 blue/purple guns from the class I am leveling in my invetory. Right now I am using pistols ( a blue wolfhound, and a blue haar), and pump shotties. (a blue volge breacher I think, and the blue 7th legion shotty, Wanyu).

Seems there is an echo in here....
