Time Capsule Fatigue.

    Aren't any of you getting tired of this? The constant churning of one time cap to the next, more and more near impossible feats mounting, more styles you will more than likely never attain. Unless you spend money of course. Look i want this game to make money. I do. But im personally worn out, the fact that caps drop every 2 months and so many great styles and feats are hidden in these things. The styles and feat points just keep stacking and stacking that i dont even care about feat hunting anymore because now a days that includes opening time caps. Its not about having the money to open them, i do. I just dont want to. Its gotten so tiresome. And costly that at some point you gotta take a step back and look.

    Its just made my interest in the game wane because i dont want to constantly dump extra money than i already do just to get some more sp every 2 months. And that's the reality of it. Someone else mentioned before that the feats in time caps almost equaled the amount of sp gained in actual content last year. Idk man. Just a shame imo. But thats me. Im not everyone.

    I'm right in the same boat. I wanted a resurgence, not another new time capsule. So for the most part I've pretty much fully elected to ignore this new one, and just pretend that it doesn't exist. But as long as players continue to drop money into this system and future Time Capsules, it's something that'll never go away.


    Time Capsules were cool when they were new, but I'm getting tired of constantly getting one every 2 months and never seeing the old good ones ever again.

    The Last Resurgence we had was back in march, since then we've had about 5 or more time capsules come out in that time span; including this one.

    And yes, I get it you can stack up on Time Capsules as much as you want; but even for someone like me I'm feeling overwhelmed just seeing these things pile more and more in my inventory.

    If we could just get decent droprates or some ******* downtime between capsules... would be nice. I must have had about 192928292 visitor’s waists from the last capsule... sigh...

    I'm not happy that we got a livestream for the new time capsule but won't get a livestream for the anniversary.

    The devs should allow us to choose between the 3 sub capsules. Once I have the emblems and the gear I should only get to open the sub capsule I need which is for collections. I understand the need for time capsules as it brings extra revenue to the game but let us choose what to select from in the time capsules and make the drop rate a little better for the good things esp any collection for materials

    Cold, i welcome your enthusiasm for this particular topic but to be blunt the devs will not stop!

    Time capsules have now gone past there relevancy in this game!

    Im aware it won't stop. As long as they are aware my interest in the game is fading because of it. But im just one person. I get it.

    Tired of them. Have never dropped any real world money.

    I'm not tired if making a boat load of in-game money from them though. :)

    This is my advice, which people can take or leave: if you find TCs to be overly stressful, figure out what the rarest thing in the capsule is (usually the material). Then just work on getting the other stuff out of that capsule off the broker over time. Forget about the rarest thing.

    If the rarest thing is something you really want, save up. But don’t do it for the 50 point feat. But make that the exception rather than the rule.

    They are really only stressful if you let them be.

    I think the main problem is the fact that feats are attached. Players wouldn't get so burned out if they were just style items because you wouldn't have to grind for everything, every single capsule. You'd just be like, well, I don't care about that material, so skip it. I do want that aura, though, etc.

    I think people are taking or leaving it and leaving the game. Look how hard its getting to put good raid groups together for many people.
    The money grab is getting old. I play this game daily for the last 6 or so years and these TC get on my nerves when it comes to skill points.

    The devs could actually fix this in a moment by putting EVERYTHING available in the TCs into the quark vendor at appropriate prices. In fact, when players suggested something like the quark vendor, that's what they were asking for. Instead, the devs put a bunch of crap into the quark vendor with more feats attached to add injury to insult.

    All collections, gear and emblems should be in the quark vendor after the TC is out of rotation for a week or so. Prices should reflect rarity, so common stuff would go for 100 quarks, uncommon for 500, rare for 1000, and ultra-rare for 5000. While it would still require a lot of effort to get the rare stuff, at least we wouldn't be relying on RNG and could be constantly working toward something. It wouldn't stop people from buying stabilizers, so I'm not sure why they haven't implemented it. The only reason I can think of is because they are trying to drive away all people who can't afford to spend a ton of cash.

    I think you're missing the point im making. Im not making the game stressful myself. I play to enhance my character. To get gear feats mods etc. Now if i know im going to fall behind X player because he wants to dump 100s into TC and attain all these sp and i don't want to do the same. That makes me care less. I care less. I play less. If i dont pay up, i fall behind, i fall behind, i lose interest. I have no interest in dumping money month after month to do so. This is just me however, thats how i play and how i view the situation. I realize im not everyone and thats me. So yeah when i feel i can't attain these things in a reasonable manner compared to someone else based on how much money i spend, yeah it becomes not fun for me.

    I know I seem to be in the minority on the Forum...... but.....

    Some of us actually look forward to the next TC for new styles.

    Sometimes we get some cool styles....
    or some much requested styles like the Batman Beyond or the Red Death style....
    or some much requested Emblems like the Batman Rebirth or the Owlman emblem....
    or some cool Auras like the Amber Mist Aura....
    etc.....

    Despite all the complaints on the Forums...... in the game..... lots of people use the styles that come from the TCs.

    That's for sure. Every time I turn around, there's a Batman Beyond character. It sure is a unique style now. :eek:

    I just delete them out of my inventory I am a new player I don't have that many slots plus it cost like 5 bucks to open one, I am good, i pay 10 cents I just got the monthly thing for the content to run but i will be damned if I am going to pay 5 dollars to open this little thing for each one I have like 65 in my inventory thats 325 dollars not going to happen. now I would pay for new powers or a dlc but not a time capsule that does not give me nothing no marks no base amenties or a lair or anything that holds value to me. this is a money scam all the way around it. just my point of view. why rub people of their money when you can give them what they want and you get more money without rubbing them. sometimes you have to listen to your players instead of just the thought that comes out of your head oh they will like this, not everyone is the same but I bet they dont want to pay for something that they have no use for.
