With how price inflation happened with the Merge most of necessary equipment price gone up nearly 10x times, So 5 silver per 47 xp is not good. pre Merge players with million silver in savings not feel it but we are not the only players. So far since the merge 276 new players left the game for bad economy. Enlisted economy seem a full uno reverse of WTs here you get less currency but more XP.
Below match result as example
Just 3.3k silver is not enough of satisfaction for score like this. It’s very underwhelming. Cut it to half if you are free player.
Drama entertain me, and I dropped the game 9 days just to check if there is major update to worth my time, the Steam announced is something worth to prep my popcorns
I mean if by “drop” we talking about never login on for 4+ day then that make sense but imo if you still login to claim stuff then that not necessarily a drop
Anyway I have been playing command and conquer Kane wrath and it is great.
I dont think the whole economy is shtt. There’s just few things which were incompetently configured.
Excessively expensive upgrades in comparison to basically everything else, and disproportionately fast grind in comparison to currency income.
And I do believe this poor outcome is just result of incompetency, not ill will. I wouldn’t call whole economy shtt tho, there’s just few screwed parametres which weren’t properly test out before implementation. (Don’t forget they have changed quite a number of parametres on basically last minute? Have they tested it? No, it was just a frantic and immediate response to the community’s overdramatic reaction.)
But once it’s on live server, these things are awfully hard to change.
Since they would need radical parameter changes which could be perceived as a negative move by some players (as they would use the classic argument “it was better for us before this change”)
I am thinking about changes like increasing exp requirements and removing those yellow exp that you can store for future use. (I for example will never have to grind for Germans again, I have enough exps to try the other 10 things they’ll add to the game right away).
Just increasing silver income would definitely not solve anything. Upgrades would be still so much more expensive than everything else for no good reason whatsoever.
idk why people are complaining that economy has gone shit with merge… it was shit even before the merge. i never had enough weapon orders to buy/upgrade new weapons for new soldiers/squads. in most cases old upgraded weapon>new stock weapon, so i find that economy has mostly stayed the same. same thing for the soldiers cause stock assaulter IV on lvl 2 or lvl 3 is/was worse than lvl 5 assaulter I soldier.
only thing that really changed in postmerge economy is decreased income cause no more easy bot farming.
btw economy buff was necessary before and after the merge.
I feel that it’s way worse now. Taking 4x longer to progress. Previously I could stack every squad and max it out, leave it as is and start a new one and could afford soldiers and equipment.
Now, even after I stripped my reserve for equipment, it takes about 9 matches to affording a t3 soldier when spending on nothing else.
If there’s no change to this I’m gonna gear down and get out.
