[2023] Credit Economy Feedback Thread

Be sure to read this post first before jumping onto the PTS and submitting feedback here! 

To reiterate, players will be able to see the following adjustments:

• Quick Travel now has a credit cost associated, with a minimum cost of 100 credits and a maximum cost of 5000. The cost to travel is dependent on the distance traveled.
• Priority Transport Terminal now costs the original planet travel costs to transfer between daily areas.
• Travel to Strongholds now costs the original planet travel costs to transfer between planets.
• Repair cost formulas have been adjusted across the entirety of the game so that repair costs increase in relation to item level.
• Durability of equipment should now be lost at a LOWER rate on death, but a slightly HIGHER rate in normal gameplay. 

Feedback questions!

Adjustments to repairing: 

• Do you find yourself having to repair more or less often?
• When you repair, does the cost increase seem significant or fair?

Adjustments to travel:

• Do the Quick Travel costs seem fair? Do you think this will affect your usage of Quick Travel?
• Are there travel costs that you currently find to be too little or too much? 
• Are there methods of travel that have no cost that you would expect to have a cost?

Hi all, 

I understand that there is going to be a lot of conversation around this topic, but I ask that the feedback here is posted after you have gone through some game time on the PTS and experienced the adjustments. The team is asking for the specific questions in my original post to be answered, so please keep posts on topic. Completely fine if you have additional thoughts on the credit economy changes, but I ask that you all check out PTS live as that direct feedback will help us navigate changes going forward. 

And to reiterate, this is only the start of this initiative. "This will be an ongoing initiative that will be rolled out over several updates as we want to slowly introduce these new changes and give players time to adjust and also provide opportunities to give us feedback." 

Thanks, everyone! 

Hi again, 

Reiterating once more to please keep this thread to PTS feedback. If you gone on the PTS and experienced these changes, feel free to answer the questions above along with any additional feedback you may have. General conversation and replies can be made in this thread instead. Mods will be removing posts here that are not focused on game play/experience from PTS so that we can consolidate info. 

Thanks!

Since my feedback keeps getting deleted I will try to not give suggestions, only provide the specific opinions allowed. ...

I am asking once again that general discussion of this topic be made in the general discussion thread here. This thread is specifically for players who have played on the PTS. Again, I understand that there are a lot of opinions, perspectives, suggestions, and feelings on the matter, but all I ask is that the conversations take place in the specified spaces, so that we can gather info efficiently. 

I ask that everyone move their general conversation posts to the thread linked above. Otherwise, posts here that have no feedback concerning the PTS experience or the questions we would like answered will be removed.

Third test.  

New character. I pretended I didn't have 1 billion credits in my Legacy stronghold and just played normally.

Hello!

I leveled a brand new toon on the PTS to level 10 aka a "fresh start". 

Having this kind of hands of testing, numbers, and feedback is very helpful, thank you! Appreciate you taking the time to start a new character and go through what would be a new player experience.

Note that your other thread specifically directed people to come here to give feedback. So if you're going around deleting feedback that you directed to come here, you need to be clear in your original instructions.

That's fair. I updated the language in the general thread. I'm also repeating for the fourth time here in this thread that PTS feedback be left here and general discussion be kept to the general thread. I am leaving your comment here because you made a fair point in communication flow.
