@ CM Kiwibird: Gamers Request to revamp Scrip/Salvage Cost:

[CM Kiwibird]

I still play when the game will let me and like I said it IS working pretty good compared to last week.

Well, because my name is already in the title of this thread, I would like to take this chance to thank everyone who PMed me/posted with information when we were having the major server instability issues across all the platforms. I really and truly appreciate it, everyone. Y'all rock.

You sure do have an obsession with birds!

I like to think of it as more of a theme than an obsession, but you're probably completely right.

Don't let them get to you! Plenty of us have a theme!



Some of us even have a theme song! For instance, here's mine!

Two things that ya'll who are complaining of swimming in ArkSalvage are missing or avoiding:

1.) You're not always obligated to spend it all, so if you have some left over, hows about you just ignore it and rest easy in the fact that not using it now means you'll have some when TRION decides to spring something on you and you need it.
It really DOES cost you nothing not to spend it, and I don't see why you want/need the prices of stuff to be higher unless you enjoy living on the edge.

2.) Some people who are starting out, or in between sweet spots DON'T have the luxury some of you cited about how all your slots are open on weapons and you don't need the A/S to open slots.
I've started plenty of newer characters, and I try to keep some of them completely independent of each other. I think that in just a small way it keeps me closer to being a new player than if I just played one 4000 level character through the changes that TRION shovels us.
I can tell you from recent experience that some of you gloss over that being a newer player with lower resources and small opportunity of pay-offs leaves you living hand to mouth in this game sometimes and just like I tried to avoid eating ramen or PB&J for weeks at a time while in school, I find it more fun if I don't have to play the game using just a few white weapons. I kind of like to be able to reset that OJ that I got at a low level. I like the idea of being able to put slots on that OJ, too.
And some mods.
And some newbs make mistakes that cost them a lot, those mistakes can wipe out days or a week or two of progress. Thats a tough nut for a newb to want to bother playing through when the game was almost free and they can just move on.
Resetting costs 25K, and putting 3 slots on costs 112K. I put up with enough crap in this game like repossessed vehicles, and no rewards, crap blues from lockboxes that cost me more to redeem than I can get in salvage for them, stuff like that.
I don't WANT to have to scrap good weapons and play lesser ones to get by. I don't WANT to have to scrape for A/S in game. I DID my time scraping along to pay a mortgage and put braces on the kids teeth.

Jeez, let me have SOME niceties without hearing people say that the game pays too well, and we ought be kept hungry because YOU have oodles of boodle. I spend enough time looking for reasons to want to log in anymore. logging in and knowing that I'm scraping by is just too effin annoying to want to do it too many more times, eh?

Now the new currency is going to come along, and you guys have no clue how hard IT's going to be to procure, but you guys are already set so who cares about the starting players, right?

I like a challenge as much as the next guy, but I'm getting tired of getting kicked in the azz ALL the time.

In that case I apologize.
I missed that one.
It was not my intention to cause any harm.

Lately (last 2 weeks) I am a wee off, due to increased morphine dose, and migraines caused by the increased dose.
Again, my apologies.

Sorry to ear that m8, there are only two reasons to take that narcotic and none of them good.

If for therapy it`s pretty extreme and you must be in great pain. I wish you well.

I agree with most all you said.... very well spoken....

to be high tech VETs and have to grind like sweathogs does get repetitive and boring

now if we where seeing all the orange weapons that 7 and GUN brought instead of HAVING THE Blue.. BLUES !

But like you I do have an off switch and after a while I like to get back on and talk to my Defiance friends......

Again good point and well said.... Hopefully they will strike a balance and err on the giving side a bit ...but not

so much that the game becomes to easy for all.......Now me being a senior and having to struggle since launch.... to just last night.... breach ego 4900.... A site I did not think I would ever see .....but if things are to be harder I decided to step up my game ....these young-in's today have great hand eye coordination all my egos where old school had to make 4000 to get all the ego slots open the next week they changed it. After I reached it .......busted my tail in pvp echelon to get ego master .....next week they changed it ....but hey its all good.... I do it for me and may be slow but I still get there .....And man I enjoy the game as much as any 18 year old Young man or woman..
Change is good and something your better off welcoming; I could see some of the issue's that they are having to address to get every one to a better game. I know most of these changes have been good and yes we still have the famous grenades ......but I think we are about to round the bend or see the forest thru the trees sort of speak......
Any way no more Dear Abby.... getting to long... and I got ego to work on ....
Again Nice post wish you... A pleasant evening and the orange AR or V Ark shield of your Dreams!

Happy Trails

Why not just merge scrip and salvage?

What's the point of having two different currencies?

Lastly, if salvage was meant for modding, and scrip for buying things, (a sensible choice), then why do keycodes cost salvage instead of just scrip?

I'd be better if I got to choose between selling/buying or salvaging/modding. That would make sense. But right now I do not have a choice, I have to do both to buy lockboxes. Salvage half, sell half. It's tedious and useless.

I like to think of it as more of a theme than an obsession, but you're probably completely right.

Some themes can get dangerous though...
