I'll be answering some questions from my point of view.

1.)Why did developers make omega?

They made omega because people were complaining about ''power creep'' meaning that some weapons just had more stat points and more damage. E.G. founder promo pack or if any one has alpha staff they will know what i am talking about.
ED thought that less people would quit if they would make every item even. So they did. Later they realised that most of the players wanted stats & advantage in battle. Then they started to make cores. (The yeti promo pack) it didn't go so well because many people who had the promo pack were complaining that it is not worth it ect. ect.
As they had invested a lot of work in to omega they needed money & fast. So they made the famous pay to win promo!!! Obviously azreals gear. So cores now would give advantage in battle and it wouldn't be so boring.


2.)Why do most of us don't like omega?

There are many reasons. People who spent varium on the game now thought that they had wasted their money since every one was the same and quit.
The update had many balance issues.
Players didn't like the idea of a dress up game.
Also the stats could only be 40% on one point to prevent abuse.

Summing up.
I can't say that omega is the best stage of the game but i still like the game and there is no going back.

2 options. Quit or Play.

 People judge Omega as a whole despite being in its beginning phase. I don't see people comparing Omega to beginning of Gamma or Delta but the whole phase.

Omega is going on for 5~6 months.

It's not the beginning phase anymore.

 IIRC, we were told it won't last a year and a bit - like previous phases. If it did, we'd be halfway through already (or slowly getting there). It's still in early stages though, based on what we were promised and what was already released, we're still in the early phase.

 I was talking about the progress made, not the time. Do read my posts carefully.

Yea, there are still many new features supposed to be ingame. But it is such a pity that the pace is rather slow. I know the team is small, but i hope we ll go through this 'early' phase in the next 10 years.

I love Omega because it made the game much more fun and easier for non-varium players like myself. But I do wish they allowed you to add more stats to your weapons because the maximum amount of stats you can add for your primary is 10 right at level 35? Which kinda sucks because that means it isn't possible to customize your weapon so that it will be like weapons use to be when they gave a lot of stats like 18+ strength or 28+ technology.

 ^ Giving a stat cap of 50% per stat would be ideal, so you could focus purely on two stats. Currently, it's 40%. That'd probably mean you can have 6-9 more stats to be added to either your primary or secondary stat, instead of tertiary. Doubt it'd affect balance either so I don't see why it cannot be done eventually.

 @EpicisEpic: The "power creep" as you said wasn't that big of a deal because honestly, 2-3 extra stat points per weapon can make a moderate difference (maybe another 2-3 extra resistance or defense), but at that time ED was still heavily rock-paper-scissors on balance, build counters, and classes (for example, a CH had an amazingly hard time of beating a strength BM back then).

That's a great idea, it would be awesome if they would implement that.

ĖXACTLY!!!
My point was that at the begining they were over used but in the late delta they were bad. Even comparing to founders promo.

Isn't it weird how they tracked our Enhancements all the way back to the beginning? I mean, it must have been quite hard...
Now with Battle Tokens, they couldn't. They couldn't track how much we had spent in each Faction. <-- Didn't care about this! ;D

I think that Enhancements were going to go and so the Developers added a tracker (much like how they can track things we bought). Just waited for the right time to make the change.


There are still some things that are needed to be done but maybe those things will be covered in the upcoming phase? If you don't like Omega, then don't play it. Wait until the next phase and see if you like it then.

 Enhancements were tracked because it's a paid currency and these are always tracked in other AE Games. ED didn't have it from the beginning but it was added back in early Gamma, IIRC. On the other hand, BT were a currency gained in-game that had no other purpose but Faction and achievements.

There's a big difference.

 Did they counted the sold weapons with enhancements? Or only the ones you had in you inventory at the time.

I said this before Omega started and the stat balance is no more or less imbalanced than being able to put all stats into 1 or what we had in Delta.

You didn't have to use money to do this. You could have used Credits...
I know that the Enhancements weren't from the start of EpicDuel. Titan made a video in towards the end of Beta showing this.

Battle Tokens, Credits and Varium are all Credits and you can only buy specific things with them. There is a difference but not a big one.

That is a very biased comment. You're non-varium right?
