Original tier set airdrop points adjustment

[digital radish]

My idea is simply to increase the points earned by the original tier sets by 4x - 5x. I don’t think reducing the points from the holo airdrop by 10x is a good measure, as many suggest. New players in the game should be encouraged to play, and in other proposals, they mention that holo/dholo points should be reduced by 10x.

Players from Private PB4 had an extra month to farm and grind Illuvials, without ethereals and with master shards costing only 80 shard fragments. (They had 1.6-1.7x more time if the airdrop ends close to the game’s launch, in an efficiency that new players won’t have.)

Personally, I would prefer only a 4x increase in the points for original sets. For example, a T5 set would be worth 16,000 points instead of 4,000 points. It’s a good amount, considering it’s much easier to complete a full T5 set than a T5s3 holo. People would also go back to hunting normal Illuvials (without being holo or dark holo), and new players would still be able to play, even with the advantage of players who have been in the game for a month. The choice between 4x or 5x is debatable, but I’ve given my reasons above.

whats the diff between increasing sets by 5x and reducing holo points by 5x?

[digital radish]

It should just be a different effect on the community

[ebon jay]

can u elaborate

[raw herald]

Point system is fine as it is. This is just trying to multiply private beta player allos. Hopefully the patch note rollercoaster starts calming down

[digital radish]

It's the same teorically, but like, if u decrease holo points (not by 10x bc 10x is exaggerated), many newcomers will be mad about that.
If u just increase the normal set points, everyone will be happy.
But the main point there is: 10x is exagerated, can be each way.

[digital radish]

I am a private beta player, I only played 1 week on Private beta (so, i dont even have much points), but there's just no point actually of catching normal illuvials, it's just not worth actually, it needs to be worth again.

[raw herald]

The change is especially inappropriate after the drop rate and master shard nerfs. The meta has shifted in a way that is tolerable and encourages all players to continue moving forward

[digital radish]

As I said in general the top players from pb4 before holo system had like 300k points, I can actually make 300k points now in just 3 days

Without luck

[raw herald]

You either got lucky or are playing 20h/day, the grinders who have 400k+ have the same work cut out for them as everyone else, with a small boost to new players

[digital radish]

I played around 12 hours yesterday, and only yesterday i got 50k points (even without fusing), with fusing i can make 150k points in 1 DAY

only got s1s holos/dholos illuvials

[raw herald]

Uhh I won't check your math on that but 50k points w/ no fuse is extremely comparable to the income of top grinders

[digital radish]

in 1 day, if u fuse you have 3x more points

[raw herald]

New gameplay loop makes fusing harder. it's easier to get points now but it's nothing too ridiculous (which is not actually what I expected)

[digital radish]

why fusing is harder exactly?

[raw herald]

in my opinion

[digital radish]

to s3 is harder, but to s2 it only took me 4 encounters yesterday

Updated the first paragraph of the text because I was a little bit sleepy while writting it.

[ebon jay]

Got it

i agree that we need a balance

[digital radish]

The reason for this rate is on the text

[long lodge]

I've been playing the game since the second it opened, and since you joined the game later, do you want to have the same opportunities as me? They did such a favor to everyone in the first week, it's so simple, it's ridiculous to ask anything about it.
