Upgrading Warp Overdrive feels bad

[cyan jacinth]

Upgrading the Warp overdrive feels bad because once you get it to the next tier, the charge speed increases significantly and you can't use the active as effeciently to farm warp. On a tier up you get 2.5X warp gain multiplier, but then you can no longer use the actives as frequently and don't get the 10x charge multiplier. so on tier up your warp gain is essentially cut in 1/4 for a bit before you gain a few more levels in the overdrive to balance it out.

Additionally, it makes it so you never want to level the Warp Overdrive unless you are actively farming warp as you cant take advantage of the charge speed. No other overdrives are like this.

The tier effects of all other overdrives is 75% or 100% of the active effect and so it always feels good to level up the overdrive. The warp overdrive tier effect does not contain any of the active effect of the overdrive.

Potential solutions: add warp charge speed to tier up effect of around 4x charge speed OR increase tier effect of warp gain to 10x. Of course that means the warp drive upgrade costs would need to be readjusted but it would make the overdrive upgrade feel better

the active on the warp is also shorter then th eother overdrives, which is why the tier up is lower

though I guess synth is same active time

I don't think the tear up is a loss though even in this case, unless you're tiering up with a bunch of extra speed you wont have 1/4 uptime on it (equiv of this 2.5x tier up)

I agree it does feel bad I just haven't had a way to solve it easily

early OD: its not 1/4, once you tier up you still activate it occasionally
r4: siphoning doesnt work with OD actives making warp active much weaker

[ancient elm]

worst case scenario, your OD charge speed was exactly enough to give 100% active uptime

on tier up, you would still have at least 10% uptime

so the effective x10 from the active is till at least effective x1.9

throw in the 2.5 and you get 4.75x
