View Full Version : Imprimaturs are a bigger buzzkill than Buzz Killington

We need to get imprimaturs more often, or have some way to give ourselves imprimaturs, a la Voiddust for Voidwatch. I really enjoy coalition assignments and I'm always at 0 imprimaturs, and getting to do only 1 or 2 assignments a day (I always use 3 imprimaturs for triple fame and item/time efficiency) is a bigger buzzkill than Buzz Killington.

I always use 3 imprimaturs
I think I found your problem...
Last I checked there is no "triple fame" by using 3. Using more than 1 is only good for higher rewards. I may be wrong. The more correct way to put it might be, it is suspected to work like that, if it's not plainly explained by the mountain of NPC text that even I decided to skip through, because it's a mountain of fricking text and was taking forever to read...

Using multiple imprimaturs at once does count as it's supposed to for building coalition ranks.

If you really enjoy the assignments that much, you'll only use one imprimateur at a time to prolong your enjoyment and increase that daily limit from 1-2 to 3-6. You'll end up with more Bayld and EXP after the fact, too.
You used the word "efficiency," though, which implies you're more concerned with the rewards than the actual assignments themselves.
No matter how much the regeneration rate were increased, people would still be unhappy until it became unlimited. Once it becomes unlimited, the ability to cash in two or three imprimateurs at once is pointless since there's no limit to the supply. They could use the triple rates for their new rewards, but since some assignments take less than five minutes to complete with rewards of 3600 EXP/Bayld, that's a reward of 43200 EXP (meh) and 43200 Bayld (whoa) per hour.
Ignoring the fact that the colonization effort will stagnate if players can farm all the fame/Bayld they need in a long afternoon (When's the last time you've done Campaign?), I like having the option of being able to do assignments in 1/3 the time for 3/4 of the rewards since there's only so much Little Shop of Horrors cosplay a little Taru can take.

There are supposedly new KI's that increase the amount you can hold and how often they regen, but no way of knowing how to get them atm.

You'll end up with more Bayld and EXP after the fact, too.You'd be a fool to use 1 imprimatur for Inventor's coalition. Likewise, is it really worth your time to run to Morimar 3 times instead of 1 to get 7.5k bayld instead of 6k? The only exceptions would be Pioneers and Peacekeepers if you were doing Reives anyway.

Seriously? Cry me a river for all those poor souls who had to wait 4 days to gather max assault tags... And then on top of that they had to decide between doing assaults or Nyzul Isle.

Considering the original post talks about how much the OP enjoys Coalition Assignments, I doubt they were referring to the Inventors Coalition. Either that, or they really, really, really like trading things to NPCs.

Note these are merely the 'bronze' version. I'm sure there will be Silver/Mythril/Gold/Platinum/Scintillint or whatever versions.
