New Council Update and still no tweaks in XP balance!! Seriously???

Amiga · April 2016

Tomorrow new Council lvl 17 and new base gear lvl 18+
Seriously??? Without tweaks in XP balance? It's sick joke. 2 mil for one gear upgrade?
I'm out until you bring XP improvement....
Good luck with upgrading gear dudes

Shut_Up · April 2016

Amiga I have read a few of your posts and I get a sense that you feel the XP system needs improvement as far as how fast you earn and spend it on upgrades.

Amiga · April 2016

It's unbelievable how this game is unbalanced now. Solution is simple...
- XP kills doubled
- Triple XP from scrap
- XP exploration missions tweaked

Is it really so hard to do it dear Devs????

rgerkman · April 2016

& of course yesterday.. I spent 2.35 million supplies on Upgrading my Radio Tent

Had I known this was coming... Well.. You already know

Shut_Up · April 2016

Don't forgot how long it takes either! Assloads of survivors assloads of weapons and armor and just one little person doing one item at a time.

kryptonix · April 2016

This is not only an issue of XP to upgrade, this is a bigger issue of survivor level. We now approach or pass the max level of most survivors the game offers.

This was not well thought out, and should be re-examined. A huge portion of your playerbase will now be at a huge disadvantage, as they struggle to keep up. You need to give a few months with new survivors that cap out at level 20+, or provide us a way to increase the max level cap before going on.

I personally have 4 survivors that go past level 17, 2 of which are bruisers (mentioned because they are generally not the most useful).

Amiga · April 2016

Whole radio system sucks as well. I'm really disappointed. Only way is to make a break and wait for next serious update...

shabba · April 2016

and everyone can buy a new lucille at lvl 18 now, wait for the whining on this one

they could also give more XP back from upgraded gear, just like they do with survivers.

Amiga · April 2016

Threads about scrapping fully upgraded gear were created many times. Of course they also promised new xp mechanism but still nothing new in this case.
That's why I offered temporary solution as double kills xp, triple scrap xp ect

Santesco · April 2016

My exact same thought. I upgraded weapons on 3 survivors and just started on armor. Guess I wont proceed on that since they are now insufficient and ill be needing lvl18 weapons to upgrade first

kryptonix · April 2016

@Santesco this (and the cost) is why I haven't fully upgraded armor since ~lvl 13

Amiga · April 2016

I just barely upgraded few lvl 17 gear.. Many items left untouched because a lack of xp.
I lost completely motivation to gain more milions of XP with current game balance...
We need to speak as whole community to make things better otherwise they will **** us on every step

trixta · April 2016

shit like this is why ive proposed to my guild that we drop down to a casual / play-when-you-can-be-arsed group.

im happy to grind, especially on NML as i play at work but this is brutal these days. I bet theres no more than 5-10% that have even got lv 17s with maxed gear and now they've fallen even further behind. ( i have several maxed lv 17s with lv 20 gold armour/weapons before anyone posts im bitching about my setup )

Costs are WAAAAAAAAAAAY to high with VERY LITTLE RETURN and dont even get me started on the weeks of random crap ive had from TG rewards and radio calls

rgerkman · April 2016

TG Rewards.. You mean like having all Lvl 16 Hunters & continue to get Lvl 13 Weapons for them :-/

Poppy · April 2016

Yup totally agree with @Amiga weapons will now cost over a million xp for the final upgrade.

The soultions not that difficult either its not like your balancing a real world economy its a game for crying out loud.

bumshoe · April 2016

I am not too bothered because you can farm do much easier then tomatoes.

Farming 7.4 is the saving grace and if they patch it I will weap for an eternity.

gabriel_lwh · April 2016

Fully agreed that there has to be a balance in the XP economy.

It gets more and more expensive to fully upgrade a piece of high level legendary gear.

It will probably cost 500K to upgrade a legendary survivor from level 17 to 18?

Amiga · April 2016

Even autofarming is waste of time and phone life. Not worth at all! I don't see the point to farm anymore. XP exploration map? Another big sick joke. 7800 guaranteed XP when 1 tier of lvl 18 will cost around 700k xp. Knock knock NG staff time to wake up and wash your eyes!!!!

Dakamin · April 2016

I don't know how some of you even made it to 17... I'm doing the grind around 12, soon to be 13 and I'm already starting to debate with myself whether I'm actually enjoying doing the same old supply runs every day. The challenges offer some diversity, but TG for gold crates is no guarantee getting tomatoes for my next upgrade.

kryptonix · April 2016

World of Warcraft - arguably the most successful online game ever, increased the level cap very,very seldomly based upon not damaging the playabilty of their current content, as well as not grinding the player base down to constantly update their arsenal.

Let's face it, a new survivor level does nothing for the players except move the carrot further along. But the donkey's are getting a little tired.

shabba · April 2016

they are just forcing people to cheat and make macros for 7.4, or even machines as i heared, i will not partake in these events!
i'm glad they are not changing things, just a little more and this donkey is going to another game.

Amiga · April 2016

Like I said farming 7.4 for whole night won't change anything .. Still XP balance is completely broken.
What can say ppl who already finished 7.4 map? one big LMAO

Japes87 · April 2016

The promised changes to the radio system (along with higher capped survivors) and at LEAST higher xp gained with scrapping fully upgraded gear should have been approached before adding a council update , the grind is killing it for many and in the end they will lose more money by doing this than gain , poor foresight .. Even P2P players won't pay the insane amounts of gold to upgrade gear and most won't grind xp for 2 weeks just to get one weapon one level higher after they just spent 2 months working on their level 17 weapons that are now obsolete.. I'm seriously shaking my head at this and don't even feel like logging into game this morning. I hope the staff makes an appearance on this thread, I do at least have faith they are reading it and see some of the hardcore players who have expressed their concerns , many of whom make the forums a better place.

Amiga · April 2016

Silence must be heard. We need to force them to listening us. Many times we changed many things. Who knows the game better
.we or NG? Answer is simple... We.

jester · April 2016

Workshop, training grounds, hospital and mission car all can be upgraded again.

Not xp tents, radio tent, storage or farms. But you can build another farm.

Why not xp tents?

rgerkman · April 2016

Why not all of it?

Putchuco · April 2016

We definitely need hihger scrap values for equipment, and stop auto-famring once and for all. Otherwise this is becoming a game for a very small group only.

Amiga · April 2016

XP TENT should be boosted 500%
Auto farming? Will stop when NG will fix XP balance. Anyway don't worry @Putchuco I stopped autofarm many weeks ago. I don't want to ruin my phone battery when xp is a dip in the sea even with it.

PapaSmurf · April 2016

No one is mentioning the obvious step to instant power and upgrades....buy gold with real money and use it. That's how the developers make money. They rely on the impatience of players.

I agree the XP earning needs to be adjusted...badly.

Welcome.
