Fpr all those who said that non-vars have a hard time, that is a pure lie. In 2 weeks of playing about only an hour or less a day, i got my level 10 alt over 100k credits. I bought an armor, sword, gun, and aux and still have enough to either buy all the cores, a vehicle, robot, or change class. And for those who can't farm like me, buying the cheapest weapons in the game and getting only the necessary cores (Generator, Primary active, maybe some others) there's no possible way you'll run out of credits. The fact that you have to pay 2k varium for a bike worth 50k credits is plain ridiculous. 2k varium is $10 for god sake (and that's only if you buy the 10k var package. If you calculate in proportion to the 2.5k package, its $16). That is pathetic and all those committed non-vars know it is. It does not even take close to having to "grind months" to gain that much. But does that mean it's easy? No. And that's why people hate it so much. It's not that much work but it feels like it--a sign that the game is not longer fun.

You're such a elitist NDB, you really are. Of course people can just sit at level 10 and farm npcs til the end of time but guess what? Many of us have level 10++ characters, for me, I have 5 characters all of them are 31 ~ 35, so are you saying "Oh sorry, you gotta start over" No, I have to deal with the game as it is now, in fact, because I didn't train on my Bounty Hunter and Tech mage to prepare myself for Omega, they're rocking not fully equipped gear in and no cores in which my battles against 33 ~ 35 nearly always result in a loss, its only against unskilled players and level advantage that I finally get some wins on them so no thank you for your rant.

"and not to hardcore players such as yourself" who can farm for hours and hours until you have what you want

I don't think new players are going to want to farm npcs all day and never get exp and just be okay with it, there has to be another way to invite new players in and give players the ability to buy newer items without being in essence, forced to buy one gear set and just stick with that is what I've been saying.

Are you not assuming that people have those hour time frames free everyday? Sure people maybe able to catch the first hour (assuming school doesn't take up that time frame ) but they're many who can't such as people who live where it's 7pm for Artix can be 1am ~ 5am for them.

They're many issues involving why this game isn't enjoyable for casuals players. Consider this, with the massive pool of armors and weapons within the game wouldn't it be fair to say that every now and then players would want to change their look? Obviously yes, but can they? There's clearly armors and weapons that are better than others via frost armor, curse armor, or the new Exile/Legion weapons so why would you want to buy neutral gears that have nothing on them? As a matter of fact, why would you want to buy anything? The starting gear is all you need. Here is where the problem lies, unless you are a frequent Varium buyer you're going to find yourself in a spot where you can't spent credits on anything that isn't necessary and always being stuck with the same class with the same gears makes the game feel tedious which = bordem. Nothing changes and you can't change anything unless you want to be stuck with unupgraded gears. The developers should make it so that players can purchase more than just the necessities to keep the game feeling fresh, make them feel like they're getting somewhere and doing something. While the developers are at it allow players to swap cores from 1 gear to the next. When a player equips a gear with a meteor strike core they're pretty much stuck with that gear, replacing it cost too much credits for the average player which also adds onto the problem.

quote:

It all has to do with accessibility. This game is far too harsh on players without Varium in that gears with special abilities, cores and robots cost too much for the low amount of gold rewarded to players especially when they're constantly being put up against fully decked players / higher level and losing ( Baelius forbid you want to class change. Cpus are much worse than they were before aswell being harder due to the weakening of players and giving no exp/tokens. Sure players are able to farm cpus but its near unbearable to fight them for hours on end. Cpus power are also somewhat based on fully decked Varium users aswell. Beating bosses above level 27 is a terribly hard task as a free player.

NPCs can be fought again, won't affect your record and should be generally be used to obtain a reliable amount of credits.

http://puu.sh/3gHJx.jpg <Non-var>

Obtained Juggernaut Card at level 20 from murdering Talia x amount of times during power hour.
Obtained most of the gear at level 10 by farming Oz.
Obtained 4 cores at level 25 through regular fights. (Obtained first core at level 22)
Planning on obtaining a bot.

In my eyes, it isn't unbearable- Though I can say this because I only fight for one hour a day.

As for varium-users with decked cores and a W/L ratio of at least 3, they're still fodder if you know what you're doing.

I very much suggest you rethink your build or strategy before making statements.

What you're failing to see is that OP builds become more prevalent once you hit the level where you're being pinned against level 32 ~ 35 and with a average build without crucial cores/robots you'll find winning 1v1s can be quite tough ( especially when nearly everyone you fight is 35 with Azreal and Chariman's Fury) like what I have to deal with.
