    Even if you can still only do 1 tag per day, 7 per week, if you are not using them every 4 days, they are basically being wasted at the moment (which is what i would venture is what 99% of the people are doing).

    Dont get me wrong, I am all for stockpiling tags, but it just wont happen because of the mythic costs involved.
    So 1+1+1+1+1 > 5? Please explain your math.

    gonna have to agree, you're failing math pretty hard here, D. It's not like we're asking for retroactive tag build up. If you think about it;

    To reach captain, you have to do all 51 assaults. That's a minimum of 51 tags (51 because you have to include nyzul isle). To even start the mythic quests, you have to have a runic key, so that's a bare minimum 20 more assaults. To get the assaults required for a mythic, you have to do the 50 assaults again. So far that's 121 tags. Add in the farming the 150,000 nyzul tokens necessary, and account for the fact that there's no way in hell you'll pull wining all 50 assaults twice without a single failure, let a lone managing to farm tokens without borking anything up. Now assuming you don'tneed any extra assault points to get your salvage wins, and can get them based solely on the points built up via the two 50 assaults grinds, you're looking at, probably, ~150ish tags. ie: 150 days, or about 5 months. Just for assaults. That's not even considering how many more tags you'll spend getting assault points for farming the 30k alexandrite.

    There's absolutely no change in how long it would take you to get a mythic without capped assault tags, so long as they don't retroactively grant any, you can just accomplish more of the grind in a single go as opposed to having to space it out to one assault per day.

    Ohh no you guys don't seriously think their going to remove the tag cap do you?

    Notice how they removed the ability to teleport to a floor directly, meaning you can no longer farm specific boss's for body / head items. Instead you must pray that your *randomly* teleported to a floor that's close to the boss you want to fight. Chances are it won't be and you'll just time out without getting to fight a boss at all. So by limiting tags they limit the number of times per day you can attempt to get your body / head piece. Thus they extent the amount of time it'll take you to acquire said piece. Days become weeks, weeks become months.

    Can't remember specifically which thread it was in, and I gots no time to search for it right now, but I do remember that they mentioned a time ago that they are not planning on removing the 3-member requirement because the rewards are geared towards three to six characters... whatever that means.

    Might look for it later to get the exact wording right.

    Personally I'd just rather have 7 tags stockpile.

    What? They're not changing regular nyzul. At all.

    Sounds a whole lot like it.

    And even if they keep "old nyzule" the way it is. You think their going to allow you to spam the "new nyzule" content when they can instead force you to drag it out over weeks / months at a time.

    even with the tag cap removed, you couldn't spam it in the without first waiting weeks/months to build up enough tags anyway. And they made it pretty clear they're not getting rid of old nyzul, this is an entirely separate assault mission.

    I was thinking a bit what you meant with the first post, but yeah, they're not speaking of changing Nyzul, but adding new floors.

    And the 'changes' are more like 'differences'. ^^;
