So why is no one talking about this part of the Patch Notes:
• Recalibrating High-End items will now cost normal Credits instead of Phoenix Credits
Phoenix Credits drop have been increased on lvl 31 and 32 named enemies:
• Level 30: 1-3 Phoenix Credits
• Level 31: 2-4 Phoenix Credits
• Level 32: 3-5 Phoenix Credits
Dark Zone
• The vendor in the Church Safe House will now sell items in Dark Zone Funds instead of Phoenix Credits
• Added a new Dark Zone bracket for characters with Gear Score 160+
Ranks requirements for Superior and High-End quality items at the Dark Zone Vendors have been adjusted:
• Superior (Purple) items: Rank 15 instead of 30
• High-End (Gold) level 30 (Gear Score 163): Rank 25 instead of 50
• High-End (Gold) level 31 (Gear Score 182): Rank 40 instead of 50
I was pretty stoked to read a lot of that, and while the crafting bit seems a bit of a bummer – this bit seems pretty cool indeed.
Recalibrating costing regular credits? The Church vendor selling items for DZ Funds? Only needing to hit DZ Rank 40 to get the best DZ gear now?
All pluses to me.
These changes are fine to me because:
- when i hot 30, i was far behind rank 30.
- when i hit rank 30, i already farmed some yellow stuff in challenge missions and had lot of phoenix to spend.
- when i hit rank 50, i was already full yellow, and had no interest with rank 30 stuff and rank 50 DZ money stuff.
