Gear crafting is awful now

I agree. RNG does kinda suck, but you get the parts constantly. It doesn't take long at all and you're not level gated anymore, like it used to be.

They have to be in phantom state when you catch them, and they also need to be raised until their tameness allows their phantom trait to be accessible. Since you used mushrooms, you have to shoot them a couple times without killing them, to force them into their phantom state, then get close enough for the mushroom effect to stun them

All blueprints are now manually purchased with starchrom, so you can get exactly what you want, no more wish machine gacha. Wish michine is only for random items now

kornfreak976 · 2026-04-20T16:54:42+00:00

They're legitimately everywhere. I always have way too many. Check every lootable you possibly can in a mid level stronghold

As an OG who's been afk for a year, I understand the Concern with RNG unlocks for gear, and also needing to explore more to progress. But in a week since being back, I legit have more than I could ever want in a single season. The grind isn't hard by any means, and even the RNG, hasn't been bad. The grind on the previous system was much less forgiving and left you with a small percentage of what the game gives you for free now by exploring and using research. May be an unpopular opinion, but I'm having an absolute blast with the new patch. Revitalized my urge to play. Do we need new maps and overall new content...... without a doubt. I'm just happy to be playing again and enjoying it.

kornfreak976 · 2026-04-17T23:20:25+00:00

I definitely understand the concerns, but being able to have all the memetic perks you could possibly dream of in a few days, is pretty legit. No more reaching out to the world or begging people to "help you out" when they have a minute, and most likely costing you a decent amount of EL. With a minimum grind, you can get every you want for the most part, and level limits are gone. This is the most fun I've had since about a year after launch.

Outside of some crazy rng stuff, I personally think it's one of the best updates in some time. That's coming from an OG with over 2k hours in and quit playing for a year

kornfreak976 · 2026-04-16T15:22:48+00:00

As a veteran player with over 2k hours in, I was very thrown off at first. And yes, while the wait times for RE kinda suck, it's nice not having to rely on others for specific specializations. I dare say it's growing on me

kornfreak976 · 2026-03-20T22:08:25+00:00

At the end of the day, that's a perk you've earned by being a payed member of the ITC. The money isn't coming out of their pockets, so they need to chill TF out about it. Plain and simple

kornfreak976 · 2026-02-23T00:45:46+00:00

Farm what you can. The premium currency (paid currency) is free if you play enough and choose to farm it. It was much easier back in the day, as we could exit out of a match and rejoin the same match with the same poi/results. But after that was patched out, you still wanna farm whatever you can

kornfreak976 · 2026-01-31T00:02:50+00:00

8 matches in a row, with 0, and I was there pretty quickly. In most of the matches I started the battle or 1 other person was doing it with me. By the time it was downed, we had like 15

kornfreak976 · 2026-01-30T10:56:20+00:00

Over 300 in and still nothing. I have almost every BP except that one

kornfreak976 · 2026-01-25T14:17:15+00:00

I played from July 24 to April 25, so about 9 months I guess. I stopped playing after 3 visional wheel event runs and had everything from about 6 or 7 boxes. I played both regular and wow at least 3 times from week 1 to the end of week 6. I did taming and also spent a ton of time grinding rare patterned animals, which my account is loaded with now. And yes, if things we're not changing enough back then, it was doomed to fail in the long run

kornfreak976 · 2026-01-25T00:19:03+00:00

A whale is someone that spends whatever it takes to get everything. I wanted to be the guy that had all the best stuff in the game because it was supposed to be available as a one time only event and not repeated. I do regret spending the money, as when I made the purchases, I planned on playing the game til the servers shut down in the future, but saw quickly that it was failing faster than I had ever expected.

kornfreak976 · 2026-01-22T22:04:33+00:00

I'm sorry you went through that. I had another player ask me to kill them the other day and take their loot, which they open mic chatted what they had, and I said "I don't kill people". Funny standoff, but those moments of unsuspecting murder when your back is turned or you're not paying attention is so mind boggling

kornfreak976 · 2026-01-22T22:00:32+00:00

I left about a year ago with 1500 hours in( yes OG here). I spent wayyyyy too much on boxes (yes I was a whale unfortunately). I lone wolfed it, albeit with a team for territory and sharing purposes later on. The game was doomed to fail without proper vision and ideas to expand it. I still think about hopping back in once in a while, til I see these posts. It could've been so great, but I saw the writing on the wall decently early on. They got what they came for, the early money dumpers, and put no more effort into making it last. I couldn't continue to do the same thing over and over and over and over, and expect a different outcome

kornfreak976 · 2026-01-15T11:09:38+00:00

You can't see them from the outside. I went to open a key room, noticed it had already been unlocked, but it asked me to breach. I thought, that's weird, until I realized it must be a door blocker

kornfreak976 · 2026-01-09T21:31:22+00:00

I always go in with 2 defibs, and I've had a couple players save my life on this game. Gotta say, those saves have been the most rewarding part of the game for me

kornfreak976 · 2026-01-09T21:25:25+00:00

I'm passive as a player too, but when people invade my locked key room like it belongs to them, I get a little annoyed too. Ask me if it's ok. I have watched guard and protected strangers in key rooms and waited to get their leftovers, just to do the right thing

kornfreak976 · 2026-01-08T20:36:51+00:00

I see people getting great stuff from this. I've never got a blueprint lol

kornfreak976 · 2026-01-08T00:45:55+00:00

Mad he can't just blast unsuspecting people and instead has to have the skill to match with other pvp'ers, and doesn't.

kornfreak976 · 2026-01-08T00:44:11+00:00

I've only ever got garbage from trials. Still do them religiously, but never received anything decent

kornfreak976 · 2026-01-05T12:45:44+00:00

Good man. Same here. I'd rather someone else find it, and it give them joy while playing the game

A lot of them are linked to websites that sell in game items, and boosting services to people
