Change the umbral system to match valor system to benefit casuals & even hardcore players

It’s so sad pre-patch majority paid lots of gold hoping the 590 gs upgrade won’t cost too much. AGS, why is it a 625% cost difference at 590 compared to upgrading at 600? I got gold 3 m1-m3 using my orbs this week for a measly 240 umbral shards. But now I need gs average past 600 to do m4+? At least give me my orb/key back when i do well & hit gold 3 like in WoW mythics.

Look at the valor system in WoW which the umbral system is similar to. It’s not complicated at all & much more casual friendly.

Valor amount rewarded for each dungeon does not change in each level unlike umbral so casuals can grind lower level dungeons for shards endlessly till their heart is content. The cost of using valor does increase the higher the gs.

However, the benefit of doing higher mythics is a guaranteed drop of a named bis gear from a certain dungeon you can trade within your party to each member.

In addition, the better the time/no deaths; the more rewards given to each player plus a free key/orb upgrade.

Take some notes; you’re already copying other mmos. When will the shoving systems down our throats nobody asked for, stop? How much longer must we jump thru hoops for these new systems when all we want is new dungeons and arenas since day 1.
New players are already stopping at lvl 30-40 due to just the leveling layer of the grind.

Not familair with the valor system but it doesn’t sound like a bad idea

The current shard costs are a great way to kiss bye bye to casuals and new players. Compounded with insane time gates it’s just absurd.

It’s a shame devs refuse to listen to any material feedback being provided for weeks…

That’s because the best mmo in the world created it.

Yessir. Don’t change what’s not broken.

I spent a lot of time, energy, gold, mats etc getting ancient and angry earth ward armor with the right weapon perks that are all 590+ thinking I can upgrade them as I grind mutations. Then I saw how many shards it takes to upgrade, now I’m just running all of the mutations in voidbent because gearscore matters more than attributes or perks, and I guess the special gearsets are only good for vanilla runs. Everything in New World feels so backwards.

Upgrading different sets of gear just to progress in different types of dungeons just to upgrade your personal pvp gear is the problem with this game.

People are tired of these hoops AGS keeps making us jump thru to progress while other games on the horizon don’t have these low bar parasitic designs so early after launch.

People also want to upgrade their own gear without the 625% cost difference sub 600 vs 600.

Another thing they should add from a game they copied systems from is gear infusion:

If you obtain a gs600 great axe (bop) you can turn one great axe you own (gs590+) into 600 by sacrificing your drop.
