Introducing Silicon Valley's Encrypted Items

[Ozz]

If you really want to make money, make the Locked Boxes in the store give out AWESOME Legendary Weapons so that even the poor guy/girl can afford to buy them. Your store house will be flooded and overflowing. That's how you can create a product which is very tempting to buy. Work on the ONE DOLLAR Principle and see what happens. Then everyone will be raving about these awesome weapons they got from the store for $1.00 each. I dare you to test it.

You never float your new ideas on the forums to get our feedback before you even consider implementing something. Instead you tell us, this is what we are gonna do, like it or not. We are the people who play your game for all sorts of reasons to find some sort of an escape and satisfaction from the circumstances of life.

Why can't you say, this is what we are pondering over to add or take away > WHAT DO YOU THINK ?

You have ruined the locked boxes in the game. Every time I buy one, I'm reminded of the time and effort that I have wasted to gain keys , only to salvage the rubbish I get from the boxes. If there is anything that needs changing, please don't overlook this.

I appreciate the honesty but how y'all are so oblivious to why people don't blow money on bits for boxes and arkforges highlights, yet again, the enormous disconnect between you, the developer, and us, the players.

So let me spell this out for you.

We don't buy arkforge because the price is insane and lockboxes have no guarantee of supplying anything worthwhile. A four blue lockbox is the same as burning money.

Hopefully y'all will come to understand this before it's too late.

The link at the bottom to discuss this update that should link to this thread links to this thread instead http://forums.archeagegame.com/showthread.php?169175 - which doesn't exist.




You really think that lockbox purchases are down because of unlimited rarity upgrades? oh dear....



You call it transparency, most will call it a disconnect between players and the company.



Major slap to the face, eh?

I like the game how it is, please don't change it !!!

Upgrading item level should cost salvage, IMO. At least that would make salvage useful again.

I agree with Cavadus !!!

Ark hunters,

The premiere of Season 2 of Defiance on Syfy heralded the beginning of a rapid content release schedule for the Defiance Team here at Trion Worlds. Our designers are working day and night to get the game's first map addition, Silicon Valley, ready to launch in the coming weeks. One of the upcoming gameplay mechanics introduced with this major update is encryption, a new approach to upgrading equipment while improving the overall item chase of Defiance.

Weapons and shields that are looted after the Silicon Valley world expansion launches may drop as an encrypted item, a status which buffs damage or capacity while preventing rarity upgrades via the Salvage Matrix. For more details about this new mechanic, Creative Lead Trick Dempsey and Senior Producer Rich "Phantasie" Barnes have addressed core questions about encryption and what it means for Defiance and its community.

3% damage/capacity increase seems meaningless, 5% at least would start to be useful.

Insane prices is right. Anyone remember the £60 orange weapon lockboxes?. I wonder how many of those they sold.

Don't know where you pull your ideas from,

I might be banned if I said where I think some of these "ideas" come from..........

Not happy

[DEATHBRINGER210]

yey another bad move

[Milkweed]

ffs.. whatever trick suggests.. Do the exact opposite. I've been playing the game a month and already everything he's done is ******ed and driving me away from the game.

same here.

This change is needed I was so bored getting everything I wanted so easily. The change makes OJ mean something again but its sad you guys didn't do this from the start with rarity upgrade. Good work team and try not to do something like this again please

How about focusing on making what you have more profitable?

I am tired of wasting keys and getting garbage from the tier 4 lock boxes. I dont buy archforge because the cost to upgrade is too expensive and the cost to buy a small amount of archforge just to upgrade or re-roll mastery or whatever is too high.

If you want to get people to buy stuff you need to make it worth getting. Not forcing people to buy expensive products that wont even guarantee that you will get what you want. Its counter-productive and is upsetting.

Studying economics and a free market society would probably help with Trion right now. Since they seem to just look at numbers that, in their perfect world, would make them tons of money.

You have to make what you have more profitable by making it more valuable to the users. Not trying to be a snake oil salesman to new players since all your veteran players are gone due to this game being way too expensive to justify the horrible game play experience.
