Some feed back regarding change on gold / hmc for march 16 patch news,
First off i enjoyed running the newer content 'demonsbane dungeons'. I spent a good amount of time learning the dungeon and participated in soulboost on multiple alts just to run the higher floors, yes it took a bit of time to unlock the floors even but that's fine, rng is fine-i dealt with it. But now this just seems a bit ridiculous to remove regular venture tokens from top 500. Now NC is changing it so we get only 2 regular venture tokens for being top 100? Whats the point now? I cleared stage 41 on a weekly basis with my main just fine. I was on average rank 40s, good enough for x3 Brilliant venture tokens. Now i will only get 2 regular venture tokens because of this change? While we're here, i also spent premium just to get twice the amount of hmc from venture tokens (premium perk). To me, it was worth subscribing for, now after seeing this change i will never again unless it gets fixed to a reasonable amount. It's worth noting because this isn't the case for the more popular classes ranking, like BM , gunner etc. You can clear 41 and wont hit top 100 so you cant get any hmc now(after change). We even lost a full week of tokens ranking. To me it seems really negative to hurt the community like this because it really helped having the additional help / hmc. It's a monthly reward, not even weekly so it's even worse. (HMC)
Furthermore, how can these dev's justify the ranking when the gold amount from rank 1 to top 100 is so unbalanced? You need so much gold to upgrade skystealer accessories, but NC thinks it's a good idea to give gold to top player (when they dont need it), instead of distributing it to a wider audience, like top 100-500? It would make a difference and maybe players would actually stick to the game because the time invested is slightly better.
To me, it don't make any sense, a season top player = 3k gold, weekly 1.5k, but for top 100 you only get 100 gold per season, and 50gold weekly. I'm very sure if 3k/1.5k was distributed by ranking to top 100-500 etc, NC would see more players actively play the game and possibly more subscribers. Hell, it could be half of that gold even, and it would still MAKE A DIFFERENCE, but hey. That's only my opinion, i've been actively playing this game the way i enjoy but now it's just more disappointing than anything really.
