Hey guys. Some time ago, we have tweeted about possibly bringing back Void Shard as NPC drops, and even had a poll on it! Here are the results of the poll: - Yes: 96 votes (57%) - No: 50 votes (30%) - Don’t Mind: 22 votes (13%) 168 people have voted in the poll, from different IPs (to prevent the same person spamming one option). It is more or less an accurate sample to use when deciding whether we should bring the Void Shards back or now. An issue popped up, however… Void Shards would share the same sellback as the shop version – which costs 25K Credits – thus making 12.5K Credits per each Shard sold. Drops from Gifting had custom sellback set, equal to 1K Credits, but this isn’t possible when it comes to drops from NPCs. We can make “Void Shard 2” but this means you cannot use the #2 version to finish the Mission, because it’s a completely different item. However, at the same time, a possible solution is creating an alternative Mission which could use Void Essences to complete. It would be the same mission as “Endless Power” but requiring Void Essences instead of Void Shards. The only issue here is you either pay your way through (Void Shards) or farm (Void Essences). No mix and match, which is a downside to this. Another solution that’s easily done is making the Void Shards drop from Frozen Fury Arcade, as a Silver Tier prize. The Endless Spirit is a Gold Tier prize and you only need one for the Mission, whilst you need 7 Void Shards instead to complete it, hence why Silver Tier seems appropriate here. How would players feel about having them drop from Frozen Fury Arcade, as a Silver Tier prize? It would be there permanently, but we could still implement an alternative Mission for Void Essences (at a later date) - or maybe keep it as Arcade-only drop!? Whilst this thread can be used for feedback, there is also another poll: http://strawpoll.me/4268119 Unless you have other ideas for the Void Shard / Void Essences, then feel free to post them here! Remember, if they are brought back, they will only drop from high level NPCs / Bosses – to avoid making them too easy to farm, and devaluing the Credit option (as well as those who got it via Gifting). Thanks! Just to clarify, the alternative Mission would still reward you The Endless Armor and give you access to the shop.
