Warring Faction Tokens

[Gekaikotan]

Dear Ncsoft team

 

Kindly note that you made the discount for the Ascension stones to be bought with warring faction tokens but it is no where to be farmed as you remoed the soul stones plains.

What are you going to do about this issue?

That is a good one. Have not looked into this, but today i found out I have 49 tokens..and you need 50 for one ascension stone. Would like to know how to obtain more.

I think the story is they were supposed to release Ethereal Battlegrounds as the "replacement" for Soulstone Plains (this is why we keep getting insignia that only works in "Ethereal Battlegrounds" since the same day they removed Soulstone Plains) but they took it out without explanation, messing up the endgame upgrade paths for both unity stones and etching stones which depended on Warring Faction Tokens and their associated merchants. The "discount" released was a discount relative to the normal price that the PvP merchants at those locations offer, but because those don't exist it's not a real discount/the discount doesn't really exist.

That literally no NCWest employee is communicating about this nor saw this coming again points to none of them playing the game, they would at least know to omit it from patch notes even if they had no clue how to take it out of the patch if they knew where the required resources were supposed to come from. Also, the fact that they removed the only endgame PvP zone apparently without realizing it (no mention in patch notes; having to patch back in story quest elements later) also points to this. Once they realized they weren't releasing Ethereal Battlegrounds they should have left in/put back in Soulstone Plains, but now there's just a content and progression hole in the game.

Since the topic didn't received an answer I'm bumping it

It's impossible to reroll the stones or upgrade the myth ones without the Warring Token

[nothankyou]

Bumping as this is an important topic. Currently impossible to get highest tier unity stones without paying through events. Please just remove the tokens altogether as a requirement like how Challenger Tokens were removed from transmuting Grand Psyches.
