We were chatting during a Summit Legendary play, while we were searching for a vest, about the expertise system and how the reward does not match the Grind level (as i said also in the PTS).
How expensive it is and how people are not interested in it because it is not doable. We were also talking about that, if it is a grind...at least make it fun (so you will not feel that it is a grind) and the most important part: make the reword to match that grind.
(the dev's did not took in consideration that you can have the same build with variation for specific parts making the expertise a [censored] system...but..)
And then we came up with this: Exotic components in Summit Crate (after you get the key).
How is this working?
For every directive that you add you will have an exotic component guaranteed when you open the crate every 3 floors.
This will happen only on Legendary mode.
So...if you play with 10 directives, at the end of 3 floors, you will have 10 GUARANTEED exotic components.
Why I am keep saying Guaranteed? - the reward must match that grind.
In this way you will want to finish those 3 floors.
You will also push the players for something new.
It will not be easy and it will not be hard.
It will be for everyone since there are 10 directives and it will be up to you how many you will choose.
Summit was designed for farming, so why not add the exotic components there ?
At the end of 10 floors you will end up with 40 exotic components if you choose to play with 10 directives.
This translate in almost 1 weapon to level 20 (level 18 to be exact since you need 55 to reach level 20 and in this way you do not need to change anything in the expertise system).
This type of farming I will be more than glad to do it.
I will play the game and the reward will make me feel that it worth all the trouble.
In this way you know that you can upgrade all that gear/weapons that has different variations on because you know that IS DOABLE.
Also, the boss floor must be fixed : once you killed all the enemies and you choose to kill yourself just to repeat the floor, you respawn in the elevator at the next floor.
What do you think?
