    Idea for next event Fix Grinding

    So, to eliminate the grinding tedium of the next event, how about instead of awarding 800+ credits for running the same mission, you award about 150 credits per mission with bonuses for difficulty, but every time you finish all the missions, you get huge bonus of credits. So that way people will run all the missions, instead of just one.

    You should figure out how many credits to award the bonus based on how long it takes to finish all missions, and how many credits could be earned in the same time grinding lexington in the previous GEs. This way people can still earn the same amount of credits per hour in the next GE.

    Don't forget to increase the credit cap, in order to make sure people don't lose credits when the bonus is awarded.

    That's not a bad idea. I doubt they'd do it but it's a really good idea.

    Heck. If they could reactivate side missions and award GE credits for completing those, now that would be ideal.

    Massive. What is the technical issue preventing you from reactivating the side missions in the LZ?

    It would seem to be a simple way to increase content with little work. So why has this never been pursued?

    Also, I didn't even go into the underground to get GE. There is another place where awarding credits at the same pace as grinding Lexington can alleviate the grind.

    Initial post is an excellent idea. Simple & effective.

    Anyone know why they didn't add WSP stuff to the GE? why create a new addition to the game and then leave it out of the GE grind?

    I made that suggestion as well and decrease the cost of the caches. If all the missions are the same amount, players that want to play for fun will enjoy the game. The ones that want to grind will always grind.

    The event was planned before the WSP and didn't code it in. That is why certain issues that were in the PTS are still in the game. Minor things but still in the game. the Op-Station bug were it showed the incorrect gear score after optimizing

    Just keep it simple...killing NPCs gets you GE tokens.

    -It should be based on WT level
    -Whether an NPC Legendary, Elite, Normal, etc
    -Named Bosses
    -GE tokens comes after each checkpoint is completed to avoid cheese.

    That why the best way to get GE credits is Resistance...you know the thing you just released into the game instead of missions people have already played a million times.

    Also it won't hurt the solo player.

    Add Resistance in there to why not. I don't personally like the just kill npcs but make clearing landmarks in the dz give ge credits also.

    The problem with tying GE credits it to a mission is people will still do Lexington because it's quick, enemies are easy, and you can do it solo. I don't see a bunch of people lining up to do Falcon Lost or Russian Consulate to get GE credits.
