Ah xxxx… here we go again.
NEW UPDATE - SAME WALL OF TEXT. LET’S GO.
WAZ’GOT BUNDLE
Seriously stop it with this. You can almost f**king buy everything you need to grind for at this point.
CHILDREN’S DAY
T H I S E V E N T D O E S N T D O A N Y T H I N G. Older players can forcibly tank their rating from 8k to 7k by anchoring a few battles in low rank ships and wablammo suddenly free achievements for all. Yay!
CROSSOUT STUFF
Free cosmetics, especially those of a brand new category are a yay from me and probably everyone else, just hoping the event isn’t a big 'ol cuck because you can’t clock the 15 OS missions in one day.
ZE’TA PROGRESSION… CHANGES
WE. NEED. TO. TALK.
Alright so let’s take a seat and look over WHAT THE F**K IS GOING ON.
So. With this update, the Ze’Ta progression effective freeze for maybe 60% of us was removed. You can turn the Axons and stuff into silicon batteries and processing blocks for a cost of Iridium.
That sounds good right?
It is.
Until you look at the new special module cost.
Those are some big numbers huh? 30 million credits to research the blueprint, 40 million for production, 2000 batteries, 2000 processing blocks and 300 monocrystals.
In the event you didn’t realise… that’s maybe too much.
2000 Screened Batteries
Costs (according to basic merths that might be incorrect because I’m kinda sleepy): 6000 graphite ore and 12,000 Osmium ore.
Probably more credits than have ever been situated on one account.
2000 Processing Blocks
Costs (also according to basic merths that might be incorrect because I’m kinda sleepy): 16,000 silicon ore and 40,000 crystal shards.
WHY.
If you think this is possible to do without trading then I’d like to wish you luck and I’ll check back in after maybe 5 years.
Looking at these numbers make me sick. Who approved this.
On a brighter note it is now possible again to progress your Ze’Ta without farming OS for module and modifiers to sell for standards and then just buying the materials since Neurons were removed from traditional node costs, so no more prestige is locked behind that .
On a darker note Ze’Ta is going to suffer the same fate as Waz’Got as actually being able to activate more nodes to increase your ship’s rank to access the nodes you legitimately want to research is locked behind the special module which is going to require an immense amount of trading and OS farming. Yeah you should’ve slogged out the initial module cost.
Holy f**k writing that lowered my IQ by 40.
SECTOR CONQUEST
Yay?
LEAGUE CHANGES
This is kinda sp00py considering why friendly fire was globally disabled to begin with.
Leagues is still a highly competitive mode and the potential for friendly fire to sabotage allies whether intentionally or not still exists. Although at least on this scale it’d be a meme fuelled rampage moreso than eliminating randoms.
TRADING CHANGES
This seemed necessary despite my lack of knowledge in any shape or form of how automation is affecting the trading market place.
YAY.
