So I just hit Cr17..

And now I won't get any marks whatsoever except for the current dlc?? So the only way to gear up and get my "rent" money is to do the same few missions over and over everyday? This seems like a really poor decision as I have far less inclination to run older content (I have most feats)... It also would seem to hurt lower level players who need the extra bodies of highly geared players to run the older content that is less popular...I don't come on here often and post even less but this seems crazy to me...apologize if this is redundant and has already been discussed to death.

there is a long way to go from cr17

i sky rocketed with 3 110 drops in one raid. the duos gave me 2 maybe 3 102 items and i am at 118 or 120 or whatever. was late and had company so was not concerned about my new online goddies because well i was about to get RL goodies. lol point is i am right there with you. my ? is what is the problem? NOTHING changed except now you want end game perks you MUST earn them in end game content.

but we only have......... save it. battle for earth came out us t3 guys went and did 2 T4 raids and then back to T3 and under. feats PVP, alts i mean whatever floats your boat. thing is we had 2 things to earn marks off of. that is it. yes we could earn marks for old feats which is fair. thing is this needs slowed down as they figure out the next time sink because the long term guys have ripped through everything. same with the OC dlc. we had 2 alerts and 2 raids. that is 4 pieces of content but in order to be strong enough you needed to grind 2 new alerts which took way to long for weeks to get to the raids.

nothing at all has changed except end game rewards need earned in end game. the game had issues and it was time for the game to evolve. if its a rocky transition well it has been worse. yea we want it to be perfect but this is alot of belly aching and boo whoing over nothing. the old system had it stayed in place would of been horrible. you have any idea how easy finishing up every single style would be? super easy and fast with all that content rewarding marks.

Im staying at 116,97 and trying to find a way to use my marks.

When T6 first released, could you use the marks from T5 content to buy T6 gear? When T5 first released, could you use marks from T4 content to buy T5 gear? No? Then why are you expecting to do that now?

U can do that now..

I can use my T6 marks to buy T7 gear. I'm first going to get all my alts 100 MoV than I'm going to buy the chest and back for all of them. Than, guess what....I will continue to grind the duos and solo daily until I can buy the next mark. I do not have the time to grind the raids and alerts currently...With that said, it would be nice if they...umm....lowered the price in the rare style vendor...I mean the vendor gear is super cheap compared to needing to grind to get it...how about make the rare style vendor the same...

When t5 releases could you use t4 marks to do everything besides buy the latest gear?

Has this strawman argument worked ANY other time it was posted?

The current system is the first and only time this has even been possible.
The system allows us to do it now.

The current system is better. I don't understand why people don't like it.

You won't be able to buy a full set that way. Once you have a few pieces your cr will be 117+.

A few options:

1. Buy them replay badges like gu47 wants you to do

2. Make alts

3. Quit

I'm pretty sure it's because you get
outside mission
2 duo's
1 alert

Which is about a hour of content per day.

2 raids once a week
2 hours of content at best or worst how ever you want to look at it.

For three months that's what you get to play for marks.
People will get crazy burned out with this little amount of content for that long.

Not counting extra marks or replays from t4- t7.

You got 14 end game marks a week in t4 on release
You got 104 end game marks a week in t5 on release
You got ~100 end game marks a week in t6 on release
You get 132 end game marks a week in t7 now( assuming each raid gives you 10)

Those extra 32 marks in one week could go for two months of rent.

Ha, you screwed yourself.

All these 7 times a week number for daily content

strictly 117 up, which is what this thread is born from

There are in t7
2 raids- 20
There is 1 alert- 35
There are two duos- 28
There is the solo mission- 21
Bounty- 7

100 to 116 has

T6 has
7 raids- 70
7 alerts- 245
3 duos- 42
7 pieces of solo content- 49

NOT including the t7 things you can slip into at 111.

Your numbers are SUPER DUPER off.

Wait people actually chose 102 pieces on their "main" and wonder why they get above 116? I mean ... why should anyone use stuff below purple rarity on mains? ^^

Less content awarding marks, relevant gear means people playing less, less dlc longevity. What happened 2 months after AF2 may happen 1 month after this release sadly.

The mistake sorta was in allowing us to enter at 111. the overlap between these tiers and tier 6 being the most mark laden ever sorta does what the symbols were supposed to stop.

113 was the most sensible number.

I don't plan on letting a mark obsession hold back my enjoyment of the combat system, content, and character progression.

I completely understand how you feel! I unfortunately was CR 117 unintentionally! Even dividing my equipment between DPS and Tank! Despite the tank stay with CR 116 and DPS 115, yet the end ended up CR 117!
And with it all I was gone!
I have nothing else to do!
Unless two duosan alert, and the raids once a week ... (and not really like raids).
All solos, duos, alerts and even raids are gone!
Now I have to play with another Toon if you want to play DC or play another game after middle hour daily doing duo and alerts ...

Sorry but I totally disagree! And I do not understand how there are people supporting ...

LOL ok:
1- to the people who don't understand why this is bad for others, who see the update as the greatest even in the history of the game and are mad at those who don't like it, BOOHOO, you like it, good for you, you then have all the time in the world to level up and reached the max level of the game, btw T6 is still end game content, this is just entry level T7, and the next dlc will only give us 2 new pieces of content for one month, you aren't feeling the problem now, you will.
2- to those who made the stupid mistake to level up too fast, LOL, next time pay closer attention to your CR, I'm at the verge of 117, so I decided to stop attuning any new gear and just save it, now I have enough content to finish up what I really need the marks for, because yeah there are more things than just new gear or rent, style feats. Since there's now way in hell I'm doing BD until T4 is fixed, I have to rely on the rare style vendor, not to mention T5 drops, that never actually drop.

So yeah marks aren't just rent money, they are feats, gear, styles, things the "OMG WHY DO YOU NEED MARKS FROM EVERYTHING" crowd don't understand, and probably never will, so I'm not going to try and convince them either.

I do have one question for any dev, or even Mepps, since the relevancy level on all tiers has been extended, what will happen to T6 and T7, as you can see some are already stuck without the "12 pieces" or relevant content originally promised, so any plans on extending the T6 to T7 relevancy in the future, or will the plan forever be to keep the highest level players on the last pieces of content only?

I was close to making that mistake, I bought the 108 belt for troll as I was still using 94, and just like that I was 116, because the one thing we forget sometimes is that the system takes the strongest gear, on both roles, not just one, so having 4 108 pieces on one role and 6 108 on the other, but one piece of each, it's all the game needs to make us 124, even if we still have 99 gear on either role.
