Friendly reminder that: The latest patches are not meant to be rushed. Who cares if 1% can do it?
Just keep upgrading your gs with what you can do.

Big news, I know but guess what. It’s 2022, people want to rush content and dont grind games like it was early 2000’s. Shocking, isn’t it?!
I heard there are games that, instead of timegating to such an extreme extend to “keep” players (looool), actually let people play the content they release and keep people hooked like that. Only rumors though, I think we all agree that AGS should extend the period from one to two weeks to keep players twice as long.
How when no one does elite runs, portals or OPR? Even non mutated expeditions have dried up.
How do new, slower or returning players get their 590 gs to 600+ with no assessable content to get it there.

I have had 5 of my posts discussing pvp removed, they were not containing anything toxic in nature either just discussion and ideas.
this!!!
At this point they don’t. Amazon and its goons at the top have fucked up this “could have been great” game.

The hate for the orbs is universal among the playerbase but AGS just made it worse with mutator orbs going for 50k+. At this point they have too much pride running for them to reverse. Sadly the orbs and the time gates will stay.
The OP is right the current orb system isn’t time gating wealthy players at all.
If they really wanted to timegate it and make the progression equal and fair among all players there wouldn’t be orbs for them at all and you would be capped on the number of umbral shards you acquire in a week instead. At least in a system like that people could freely enter the dungeons as many times as the wanted to both play the content and help fellow company members progress.

That’s what’s funny you get one orb. How the fuck do they expect you to get to m10?
Just get rid of orbs and let ppl run the content. If I beat M1 let me do m2.
Or if they force us to use orbs just let us keep crafting them. There is no need to limit it like this.

Thats why I won’t play this anymore. Among other bad design decisions. Just waiting for Lost Ark or any other game. I might aswell play 24/7 HOgwarts Legacy. That for sure will be better. lol

yeah im already theory crafting for lost ark
I’m going to preface this comment by saying AGS is completely to blame for this situation and the orb system is toxic for the game community and made even worse by how unstable servers have been (frequent lag detected = scrapped orbs).
All of that aside, everyone has access to getting to higher level mutations. You have to make a static group to orb trade with. That’s it. I’ve seen a lot of people getting mad over not being able to make it to higher levels. PUG and doing random orbs is NOT viable. Again this is on AGS, but if you want to play within the current system you must make a static group and you WILL progress.

Time ≠ difficulty. Spamming it does not make it easier.
Exactly, the problem is that the content is way too easy and the GS penalty is just there to disguise that. They should have made mutations a challenge regardless of GS and require insane precision and coordination to complete on higher difficulties, and remove the orb requirement. This would result in most players grinding lower tiers while a few groups try and bash their heads against the higher tiers for the better rewards.
They could have honestly achieved this by buffing the scaling a bit and adding more mutations at each tier - 10 should have 10 new mechanics for example.
Their could just adjust the rewards and scale them down, their just made it a waiting game instead, either you have a mutation orb and you log in to play, or you wait until next week because anything other then mutation orbs pales in comparison with Umbra Shards rewards.
1% of the players nowadays is 500, daily players. Isn’t that crazy?
The orbs are probably one of the worse systems ever introduced to an MMORPG and, incredibly, they’ve stuck with it. It’s a cheaply designed gate that introduces several distortions to regular gameplay and frustrates the general player base.
