Fixed that for you.

You know that some people are stupid enough to make trades outside the game right?

Yah, but while i agree with you that buying scrip outside the game is stupid, I don't think it has such a large impact as the rewardnerf on keycodes and arkforge has on the player population.

Ofcourse not, but i was just sating that no matter what, those people are plain stupid.

Alright, then i totally agree with your point. I still wonder if that T2/3 arkforge and reload nerf will be the only official response we will get on the reward nerfs. Are they just waiting it out?

The last iivestream had some updates: http://www.twitch.tv/trionworlds/b/558498035

- They're not going to change reward nerf. They didn't even address AF, just keycodes,
- They're not going to change droprate nerf, to make Defiance "economics more balanced",
- We are suppose to believe weapons will be decreased, removing useless synergies & stats.

Which means the situation for now will remain unchanged. Trion will keep slipping in stealthnerfs without any communication, the "fulfilling chase" aka Korean Grind will remain. The endgame which was mainly hunting and upgrading/modding legendary weapons is scrapped, it's back to using good blue/purple (because even if OJ drops, its gonna be crap).

The incoming changes to "custom made jackpot OJ's in T4's" (which arent OP, youre better off using your double/triple crit wolfhound) and improved synergy (and stats?) will not change that tradeskilling using the matrix is redundant. It's back to pick up a weapon and play. Not to mention it's another kick to people who bought the Seasonpass DLC, because that Wildcat can be used by all.

WIth the extra T2/T3 arkforge nerf, they will roll back the T3 arkforge nerf, with a chance of 100 AF from T4, but with the low keycode droprate now, it's debatable if it will bring back the vets to play this game. In all, in terms of longevity, Defiance is clearly not focussing on old players.

There was suppose to be an incoming increase in keycodes (nothing mentioned about arkforge) but the livestream didn't show much difference in what we got after the nerf. Trick played for more then an hour and got 7 keycodes and 2 arkforge. Nothing to brag about.

The only positive i got from this whole story is that a part of crap loot (not matching synergies and stats) will be removed and tradeskilling is being reviewed, but both are Soon (TM) and do not affect an improvement for the "fullfilling chase".

soooooo ill stay gone 4 a bit longer

Id say just do the contracts and wait till the ingame events become worthwhile again. There might be a chance they will roll back the reward nerf through said "crap removal & tradeskill improvement", but that's pure speculation.

Not only vets complain though, Ive seen some noobs catch on that the grind isnt worth the pay, which means it is plausible they can not leave this nerfed-to-death situation as is, and have to take reactive measures to turn it around.

What's the use of a new landmass when nobody is playing it?

[Mr Modz]

I am actually looking forward to the response this time on this whole fiasco. We already know it's going to be smug, condescending, rude, and inconsistent with the game we play. Grabbing popcorn to wait for the official response.

The response will be like usual.... "Ooops, this wasn't actually suppose to happen. It was accidentally put into the game. Our office idiot who we promoted to handle all the hard decisions did it. Blahblahblah...yatta yatta...."

Trion can't even do something wrong right!

Yup. Too little too late.
