New player, 28th day in, level 47 already from hard grinding since I work from home... The most frustrating aspects to this game are equipment switching costs and tomes.
What is the rationale for the crazy cost to switch gear? Lets say 50K silver to change one artifact... thats basically 3 runs on brutal farming lvl 12 and selling the loot drops, just so you can pay to switch one artifact. As a new player I am constantly out of silver just from switching gear to try out different aspects of the game.
Tomes... I am working on Crimson Slayer right now as a random example. Will take 19 tomes to fully skill this champion. The responses to tome farming have been tomes are available in events and chest rewards... so lets look at events currently active. Fire Knight tournament. One tome is available as a prize and its the highest tier possible, 2750 tournament points. Lets say I avg 18 points per drop (about what I get at my level) that will take 152 runs at Fire Knight at 12 energy per, 1833 energy to acquire 1 tome... seriously? The Artifact Enhancement event requires you to upgrade 12 artifacts from 0 to 16 to receive 1 tome... since its about 1M+ in silver to hit lvl 16 depending on your luck, its basically 12M in silver for one tome. Are you seriously telling us tomes are readily available in chests/events when considering I need 19 tomes just for one champion and the requirements for one tome in the events are astronomical, compounded by there are quite a few champions in this game?
This game is fun and has been great to play the past month. But considering the above, and the poor replies that try to imply there are plenty of free tomes available, and the gear/silver headache makes me just want to walk away and never come back if things are never going to improve.
Oh and why is it always Relentless gear as prizes? Cant you add some variety?
