Have Zero intent to cycle in Mayhems....

I dont post much but,

MindArks agenda towards the game and us as the players and there backroom actions have created this situation
There devaluation techniques and flooding and agendas have just removed all motivations in game.. There’s no “carrot”

What is the purpose of actually grinding in the Hunting Mayhems …Honestly

There horrible to skill on mobs, you lose your shirt based on holding these tokens for years (which is MA saving account for you..) to get an item that is obsolete, and devalued by the makers…

They inflate the prices in game based on there own flooding…

They increase the price of items multiple times without even restocking items (LP120 perf started as 300k 4rares, (3x were pulled), then they updated price to 5x rares 350k(NEVER RESTOCKED IT), now they update the price to 480k & 6 rares again no restock…

There are better items on other planets …why waste the time and effort for an event that has been destroyed by resource mayhems that you can get for 1/4 of the price…When you can farm another planet…better hp/lvl…better rewards…

The new RDI sword added to the vendor is just plain a fail…
It has 20% less eff then a mod nano, for less then 20% dam increase…Its terrible for pvp as it has spread damage…Its melee (so enjoy all that armor decay that you dont get from range)
we have no idea its end stats and dpp till someone and i hope no one pulls it…at least the swine is good for pvp with some range , I don’t think they actually have people developing and implementing new items who are playing this game or even remotely in tune with players in game.

My time and cycle is not going to be in mayhems till something is appealing … and I’m not sitting at the vendor in hopes i can be there for the 2 min window to pull an item that took years to gather the tokens for, its a joke

yes im frustrated…and i feel like i “MUST and HAVE TO” to do mayhems…as its always been the “thing to do” …but honestly tell me why anymore…

(FFA is a whole another can to open… The prizes are based on 10 years ago lol..what does 1-2 rares and 50k tokens get you…lol, just do Resource mayhem and gtg…the FFA should basically be ignored … rares used to be hard to get and something that got huge gratzs and got you prestigious gear, there’s more rare tokens drops then entropialife can even report…I’m assuming they either are forcing you to participate in RM or they would have to inflate the token drops in hunting and FFA…no? If you don’t you’ll just fall behind and never keep up to there inflation tactics…

So yea …my 2 cents

I sadly do agree here, and to add insult to injury, having the SAME item go up in price time and time again, is just blatant bafoonery, like if cardealerships added 100% markup every year for a car, so a 3 year old car is 300% of the cost where is the logic?!

And even more so I am quite upset that RM (Resource Mayhem) is now mandatory for any decent pulls, which basically means that people who don’t want to do gamble-crafting (To get the gems in globals that you need to finish the bonus missions), can not ever again pull the good items.

Personally I am still scared to death of gamble crafting after losing my shirt on it a couple times many years back
I’m just, why THE F is it now mandatory to do gamble-crafting to get a good weapon pull? absolutely baffles me which direction this is going.

TL;DR
I believe the whole Resource Mayhem was a huge mistake, that type of generation of mayhem tokens and rare mayhem tokens is a completely rediculous solution to a fairly simple problem. What they SHOULD have done was make a way to exchange X ammount of normal Mayhem Tokens, for a Rare Token, making sure that if you grind enough, you will be able to pull what you are after.

And secondly, the whole “random times” refills of the Mayhem Traders are also a rediculous solution to a simple problem, alongside this they even did the “adjust prices” (the wrong way) without even refilling, totally pointless procedure to just lure people to get more mayhem tokens / rare tokens, and when the time comes for a refill the price is adjusted again, talk about moving the goal posts! (textbook example). What they should have done would be to add MORE items at ONE time and that’s that, trickling them in doesn’t cater to anyone except perhaps people who get insider information.

Yup, pretty much agree
Except, for me personally, rare tokens… I’ve only been able to loot 3 in total. 1 from a mob in EM and 2 from RM…

I guess I need to cycle more / open 50000 more boxes a month ??‍♂️

It’s a significant blow to devalue everything. I’ve made a substantial investment, and nearly everything I’ve purchased has devalued. Just two months ago, I bought Mayhem Resto, Mayhem Arson, and Perfect Hedoc. Then they introduced L versions with a horrendous amount of uses, making it even worse for others. It’s been a tough experience. This mentality will hinder game growth, as a lot of people get fed up just look at your discord. Doing things like this kills the player base. i see your top players all have left and have nothing positive to say about the game. I have played on and off since the beginning. I 100% agree with image on this subject.

hope you correct your ways before its to late as this is an amazing game would hate to see it crash!

Lots of love

I completely agree with OP. It took me years of doing mayhem to collect up 300k tokens just to see them repeatedly raise prices and then introduce resource mayhem. This system needs an overhaul

Totally agree. There is no point in doing much anymore. They have completely taken away the only reason why we did mayhems. Can’t they see how many players are quitting this game? RM completely destroyed everything after such a heavy inflated Twen event. Not sure how they can save the game anymore?

There’s a reason I sold the majority of my gear and stopped playing like I did. It was originally due to the restock bullshit having to wait at vendor and missing restock multiple times by a few minutes and then raising price significantly out of my reach once they restocked again.

You screw people over too many times and they stop giving you money, go figure.

Well imo, ever since the IPO… they been screwing this game with bad and desperate decisions favour for the MA share price… but even there they fail.

Im on the edge right now… but i guess its never to late to leave and save what you have left.

@Ludvig|MindArk

Some of us were having this very discussion the other day @John B Knight. There needs to be more carrots for people to keep grinding and stimulate the economy. Either that, or an influx of new players would pretty much be the only solution to the current market decrease.

There needs to be a new “3.0” gear that people want to go after. At this point, we are talking higher DPS than a lot of weapons.
Just re-stocking the same existing weapons with the same player-base is only going to de-flate the market even further.

The RDI sword was a good idea in terms of DPS, but 6 rares and almost 600k Tokens for a 66% eff Weapon is a tall order.

Personally, I would love to see more noob weapons with higher eff as I am a noob myself. But not sure this would boost the economy.

They should increase the token rewards (including rare) to match RM acquisition costs, for starters.

This merely shows that the people at the wheel have no clue what’s going on, never played the game they have been building, or have orders from the shareholders/board members that have no interest in the golden goose they have cooked. This weapon alone and the price is very disconnected from reality.

UE5, all the cash grabs, etc. were just means to string people along long enough for Mindark to do the backroom stuff. How many planet partners have cashed out or departed? How many long term investors have left the game after liquidating their belongings?

After all the cash grabs and everything, you still hold onto a memory of a game that was and hopes that your bag could be worth what it was in the future, as does everyone who got nuked by a crypto scam. For all the cycling and loyalty the players have done, the UE5 shenanigans (lack of updates etc), should have been a big enough red flag to tell you “hey… hold up, what’s going on here”. Deeptoken (crypto scam), the ND crypto ordeal (I’m being generous), compets, etc. At a very minimum, Mindark could have given some pictures, teasers, screenshots, etc after all the cash grabs (EUTs), and such on how they were doing with UE5. The lack of it shows it really isn’t much or they are embarassed for it. They created social media accounts to showcase their efforts. What’s on them? NOTHING. Says everything doesn’t it?

How much is enough for you?

Boohoo… Cry me a river… No one asked certain players to invest stupid amount of money, pull weapons and sell them at stupid prices to other players willing to pay that kind of $… These facts only contributed to extreme inflation in weapon prices and other items in game. Then MA makes some changes that makes the game fair to everyone now, where as before only “ubers” playing 24/7 could actually pull stuff out, and guess what, those who have paid through the nose for stuff now find themselves in a declining market, go figure… Long story short, MA only inflated the price of weapons in Mtoken at vendor, the real inflation was done by players, and players alone. Enjoy losing peds through no fault of MA then moan on forum like little children. Grow up, I’ll carry on shooting mayhems, its fun.

Absolutly agree. The direction of the game has been absolutly down hill. Mayhem was the one thing that made the game worth playing, something major you can work towards with good planning but now the rewards are worth less than it actually costs to grind for them in addition to the massive costs to then tier up the item.

Everyone asks for game improvements, good missions, instances, content that excites. What do we get instead? A resource mayhem hand in mission (with NO LIMITS) that required little effort to implement and in doing do did huge damage to the game and the investments of its players. Killing off trust and causing big players to sell out and others to downgrade their cycle.

Really sad how we ended up here.

And what is your price per Mtoken “shooting in mayhems”? and how many Tokens are you gonna get?

20

I stopped cycling and all deposits when they made my Angel armour pink; among many other little things.
The flooding of the market, deliberately devaluing everything, and the boring broken UI, does not help to improve my confidence.
Who wants to deposit knowing a company is actively devaluing your assets, on purpose.

No thank you.
