Ark Angel Merit cost

[Raydeus]

this is working as intended.

its 20 merits because they want to manage how fast you progress thru this content.

they dont want the majority of the player base to be finished before the newer content is released.

when they have an major update happen again, there will be an adjustments made.
especally if this gear/content is relevant to the difficulty of the new content being released.

I'm more inclined to think they are doing it this way to prevent people from congesting the BC itself, rather than slowing players down progression-wise. The reason I say this is because you can easily get enough merits for your next run in less than half an hour if you are fast about it, (probably more like an hour all things considered) which in turn will allow other people to enter the BC while you are getting more merits.

If we could hold 100 merits (which I'm actually hoping will happen eventually) people would just spam 5 runs in a row and bottleneck the fights. So this is a nice solution for congestion while interest slows down as people start getting their gear.

i agree, they are one in the same. less ppl doing the content less strain on server. i.e a bottleneck.

However i dont think is the answer. if they did anything it would be lower the entry cost because hold 100 merits changes alot most game content. which i dont even agree with. but i guess.
