I've hit WT5 recently and own the WONY expansion but haven't jumped to NY yet. I'm working on the skill tree points for the Survivalist specialization, but still have a bit of a ways to go to top it off. I know there are several ways to earn specialization points in DC, but can I continue to earn them in NY?
I've held off jumping to WONY for a bit until I felt I was ready, but should I finish all the specialization skill trees I'm interested in first or can I go ahead?
External link →While there aren't as many activities (like Invaded Missions) to quickly increase your Specialization Points, you will get some on each level up as you go from 30 to 40. I recommend putting on a Spec that's mostly complete so you can enjoy the more hefty bonuses while still making progress during your time in NYC.
Thanks. I was running some bounties with a couple other guys last night and got spec points for each of them. Does NY have bounties and do you know if they give spec points?
NY definitely has bounties, though few in my experience have also offered Spec Points. You can also gain Spec Points through level 4 Control Points.
I notice that when you start WONY, many of the former daily bounties are gone including the daily BP material bounty and the daily hard and challenging mission bounties. The mission bounties rewarded you with specialization points.
Has there been any insight into why these were removed and if they’re coming back?
The daily mission felt like a good way to reward players playing together and the daily BP was good because it was a solid use of resources once you hit cap. There’s like 225 BPs. Otherwise that’s a LOT of control points.
Are you referring to some of the different Projects that were removed with the introduction of TU8 or am I misunderstanding?
I am, yes.
When WONY hit and we all went to New York, the daily Hard, daily Challenging, and daily material projects ceased to exist.
This can be seen when players make new characters and do not go to NY. Something about going to NY removes those projects forever, but remaining in DC allows them to continue.
I believe the rationale behind removing those was to reduce overall objective clutter, streamlining the available projects into a resetting daily and weekly rather than the mess of a half-dozen different objectives with largely lackluster rewards.
As for how it ended up messing with Blueprint farming... that I've got less insight on. It's definitely a frustration I can pass along though.
