As an end-gamer, this update has been both great and very bad:
- Great, because my Mythic Level 50 items gave all my Level 50 Characters fully maxed out Battle Scrolls.
- VERY BAD, because the gear rework deleted the value of so many glyphs that cost me time and money (as I explain in detail here).
As an end-gamer before the gear rework, I put money and a LOT of time into getting glyphs to upgrade multiple offensive, defensive, and utility items to Level 50. However, the only glyphs that were converted to anything of value post-gear rework were the 10 weapon glyphs, 10 armor glyphs, and 10 accessory glyphs used to upgrade one item from each category to Level 50 (which each resulted in a maxed-out battle scroll post-conversion). Aside from those 30 glyphs, all other glyphs that upgraded my other items up to Level 50 pre-rework were otherwise converted to a value of ZERO post-rework - in other words, those glyphs were completely wasted, thrown away, and vaporized. This was a baffling and totally unnecessary devaluation of the time and money invested into those glyphs, and all the developers needed to do was refund those extra glyphs - just like they did for the Spell Rework. And I still have not heard from developers why they don’t plan to refund our vaporized glyphs @Jeto @Mother_Morgz @Kafka. In the absence of further clarification, I can only assume it’s to try to squeeze more money out of us.
So yeah, it seems like we have the following two big problems:
- For low-to-mid level players, post-rework progression is almost completely dependent on RNG if we don’t have an option to manually upgrade item rarities. This could be fixed by allowing Followers to upgrade item rarities.
- For mid-to-end level players, high-investment glyphs were completely wasted if they were used to max-upgrade (Lvl 50) multiple items in a specific scroll category. This could be very easily fixed by refunding only the glyphs invested in Mythic Lvl 46+ items did not contribute to the character’s scroll levels (i.e., glyphs invested in other Mythic Lvl 46+ items aside from the highest-level item in each scroll category).
