Hi Angeliana, Are the feats new or is this a mechanism for which we can unlock existing feats? Thanks.
Is this limited-time event coming back in the future and allow for the missed feats to be achieved for those who couldn´t play this time? Because if it doesn't I can already feel the tremendous backlash.
So, for clarification purposes: the caches that lead to feats/points, are the same on every character, in the feat menu? For example, I can compete on one character, then buy on 5 other characters, through the use of replay badges in the feat menu. Or do they literally award feat points, that must be accumulated on each individual character, or miss out on them?
It sure would be nice to get a couple of examples of what sort of feats we're talking about, just so we understand what the limits might be of what might included and what might not be. We'll start finding out tomorrow tomorrow, but who knows how much variability there might be as the "Ops" go on? Also, isn't it a bit confusing to call these "Ops" when "Operations" already is the name for the abortive outside missions in Episode 5 "Hand of Fate" (which I always thought were a cool idea, but most people seem to have disliked them and felt that they took too long, and at the time the servers couldn't handle so many people showing up for the outdoor boss fights, so the boss fights were moved indoors; ironically, outdoor boss fights long ago ceased to be a problem in any case)? Is there some reason in particular none of these "Ops" will be able to be done solo? Is that going to be immutable, or given that these Ops will be going on for the entire month of November, is there any possibility of solos being included in the mix later in the month?
Technically speaking, there are no "feat points." Just Skill Points, given by achieving Feats. Feats, once achieved by one character on an account, can be shared by any other character on an account via Replay Badges.
Really now? Push your skills, or push your wallet to the next level? Since you guys skipped or "kinda forgot" to put this on the test server for some .... hmmmm I don't know, PROPER TESTING? It looks like a rushed and rehashed Batman/WW Day events, with focus on feats that you somehow made them indirectly connected to our wallets I surely don't mind new contents, new implementations and such, but this screams (Here are some feats that you can indirectly purchase using your credit card).
Pretty sure you can pay or play, or a combination of both, with the choice being yours. This isn't even remotely as pay2win as time capsule feats are which are essentially locked behind money and RNG gambling, the free route via the quark vendor is very prohibitive, purposefully so in order to encourage maximum revenue. As long as this doesn't require the player to play every single day for a month in order to get the 10SP on offer then I would respectfully suggest you're being incredibly melodramatic. In fact even if it does require every day, as long as the cost of currency is kept reasonable the system isn't even remotely as bad as time capsules, which I might add isn't even making it a secret that it's directly selling you skill points.
Yeah, i have the same viewpoint looking at this. How the announcement is written, made it briefly sound like a nice new way to get some old feats out of the way, but with the verification of them being new feats attached to the limited event and the event ending around the start of Season's Greeding/Christmas event, it just sounds like another seasonal/Batman/WW day, etc. or as another poster said in a different thread, busy work/chore like events.
Melodramatic? Incredibly? Hardly if at all. All I did is speak my mind and the fact that no one knows anything about this since (why bother use the test server) speaks volumes, as they know there might be more backlash than joy out of this. Like they did the same with releasing recent DLCs marks bundles in the MP .. no testing just, surprise No need for white knights around here, since all we got is blind statements (even if, as long as) and last minute surprises The one thing I was afraid of for over 13 years (game currencies of all types in the MP, recent DLCs included), already happened and now their focus is ALL on that (we just added MANY currencies to the MP how can we add more and milk that to death?). If this is what we're doing now, all I can say is: what's next? Skill point bundles in the MP? Ah well, we'll just wait and see and enjoy testing everything for them on the LIVE server.
Interesting. More information would be appreciated. How much ops coins are earned per instance or is it the usual 2, 4, and 8? So the coins can be used to buy unspecified feats to increase a player's skill points. But cannot be used to purchase older feats in the game. Are these ops open for end-game players only? Was there a mention as to what the limit is for these purchase-able skill points? The Facebook post mentions trading these coins for skill caches that could? total 1000 feat points or 10 skill points. Is that for the whole event or can players actually play this repeatedly to earn as much as 100 skill points or more? I think for such a new OP and possibly ground-breaking change to the game, more information about it should have been released earlier just to properly prepare the player.
You're allowed to speak your mind. I'm just pointing out that this type of system is far more transparent than the time capsules which are also selling you feats and skill points loosely connected to a cosmetic item that is highly subjective, given that point and on the basis people are buying styles they don't care about, it can only reasonably be concluded players are buying feats. With this system, even if you do have to buy currency or choose to buy currency you can at least calculate exactly what it costs, that isn't true of the time capsules. Regarding the test server, what's the point, what is there to test? The only thing you seem worried about is the lack of explicit detail which could have been done if a bit more information was provided, but that appears to have since been clarified. 1. You have to run random content each day or week to gain currency and you convert that currency in to reward 2. You can buy that currency on the marketplace to make it easier or quicker, and 3. You get 10 more new skill points not previously obtainable. What more is there to know, what more is there to test? I'm not by any means "white knighting" either, this is just a better system than time capsules so I'm encouraged that they're doing it, anything that isn't gambling is infinitely better.
