I think the orbs are going to be fine now. You will be able to buy a regular laz or gen once a day, and a mutated orb every 3 days. You will also be able to craft a few more. A full M10 orb is going for 15k on Orun. I doubt anyone is charging more than 1k for regular laz or gen, so you will break even if you want to spam dungeons all day to increase your expertise.
Using the economy to validate the existence of an unnecessary gate to the game’s content is a terrible way to validate the existence of these items. I am still waiting for people to come up with a reason why we need these stupid orbs that don’t boil back down to economics and wealth.
These keys have got to be removed from the game, they have done nothing but split the community in unnecessary ways with people using loopholes to garner economic wealth from them. They’re bind on pickup; they shouldn’t be able to be used in economic transactions.

This is definitely one of the longer threads on these forums o.O
They won’t remove tuning orbs. That’s a stance AGS is gonna die on, they will make it easier to craft but they will never remove it. That’s the feeling I get from their replies.
Well, according to the staff the majority os players “want” tuning orbs xD Maybe they missed this thread.
That is why I refuse to play this game any further. But I feel like I must come here to express my will to see this removed. no other way

Was this the thread or was it another one that even has a poll showing most want then removed? Hey if they keep them they keep them but call it what it is at least. You will have strong opinions for them on these forums and strong against but the numbers definitely seem against them.
I initially thought it was related to monitizimg them, which I’m fine with, just tell us and add them to the shop. But I think what really came out of the server transfers is that it likely is a technical issue. They can’t handle having too many expeditions running at once so this may be a way to limit it?
honestly at this point orbs are an after thought for me and the company i’m in since they have reduced the cd’s so much from when this thread first started
Definitely more bearable at this point which is nice.
There was another thread that was straight up removed on this very topic that had over 700 responses to it. The devs have got to swallow their pride and just remove this garbage from the game, it only adds additional friction to playing the game’s content versus anything else.
Still waiting for someone to change my mind; What good are these stupid things that don’t boil back down to economics or wealth? Economics, market, wealth. … Terrible reason to gate content from players for.

I saw the person who shared this on reddit. The moderators banned him forever for the crime of provoking the community. I think there’s a big brother regime here

Weekly bump to remind the AGS devs that tuning orbs not only serve zero purpose in the game, they actively create a toxic playing environment and prevent casual players from enjoying the content.
Get rid of tuning orbs to get into Expeditions.

bumping this is pointless, they already addressed it in the dev video. In the future will be no orbs for entry, but orbs to enhance loot. They just have to get to it on their roadmap. I mean hell…combat has been broken a month. Let’s fix that first.
Also in that video:
Shadow Fox: What’s one thing you made a mistake on that you’d go back in time and change?
Scot Lane: Azoth.
No shit, Azoth. The entire. goddamn. community. told. you. fast. travel. was. too. expensive.
It’s amazing how deaf to their customers these people are – which is very uncharacteristic for an Amazon property – and then end up making the requested changes months down the road after the damage has already been done.
I digress though.

Like every other major issue, they will take action once full damage is done.

Why are you (AGS) limited what few players can do by pointless and frankly poorly designed system, such as orbs? Remove them and let the players that can find enjoyment in the game do what they enjoy… cause frankly it will take another year of the QoL and occasional content patches to get the MMO in a state it should of been at launch. Remove the damned Orbs.
