Pulse Cells

[Cairs]

•The following equipment items, hereafter to be known as "Pulse Panoplia"—a reference to their luminescent appearance—may now be converted to new items called Pulse Cells.
Anhur Robe / Fazheluo Radiant Mail / Mextli Harness / Mekira Meikogai / Toci's Harness / Heka's Kalasiris /Asteria / Borealis / Coruscanti / Ephemeron / Murasamemaru / Delphinius / Aytanri
Pulse Cell Conversion
1.When obtaining a pulse weapon or piece of armor from a Riftworn Pyxis, select "Obtain as pulse cell."
Items obtainable as pulse cells will be marked with a star.
Pulse cells are stackable (up to 12), deliverable, and may be traded or sold at bazaars and the auction house.

2.Trade five of any one variety of pulse cell to the NPC Ardrick (Jugner Forest, I-8) to obtain the corresponding piece of pulse equipment.
*In order to have equipment reconstructed, players must possess the designation for defeating the Voidwalker that drops the corresponding item.

The only thing I could think when I read this is "Are you f@#%^ kidding me?" We need a system like this because some people CAN'T get ONE drop much less multiple ones that they can then convert to cells. I have NEVER EVER EVER gotten one of these items from ANY mob and I can honestly say it isn't from lack of trying.

I go multiple times on multiple runs on different days, I trade cells, I participate to the fullest, and I get... logs... up to 106 crystal petrifacts now, and that is after dropping some before they could stack to 99!

So I ask, how the hell does this new system help anyone? I know I am not alone in not being able to get drops, because I see most of the alliance saying "logs", "crafting stuff" "4 crystal petrifacts -.-" etc while some ass^ says "Haha I got another body! /toss". Seriously. You may as well have not put it on the game at all. I was so excited that just working toward the goal of collect x number of tickets would produce my desired result. Now I am just angry and disappointed. What do they put in your water there? It must be awesome. Really. Get a clue.

As I have said many times in the "Voidwatch Final Chapter" thread it should not be this way. Tickets should be points, it would work much better.

1 ticket for a kill.
1/4th the tickets for any ticket buyable item that is R/EX that is relinquished or traded back to the Planar Rift of which said NM may be spawned from.

Example:Kaggen

Noteable Drops
-Mekira Meikogai
-Phasmida Belt
-Kaggen's Cuticle
-Mantis Eye
-Heavy Metal

Ticket Buy List
-Mekira Meikogai = 100 Tickets
-Phasmida Belt = 75 Tickets
-Kaggen's Cuticle = 40 Tickets
-Mantis Eye = 25 Tickets
-Heavy Metal = 10 Tickets
-Crystal Petrifact = 5 Tickets

Trade List
-Mekira Meikogai = 25 Tickets
-Phasmida Belt = 20 Tickets
-Mantis Eye = 8 Tickets

With this system, R/EX gear does not goto waste, rather it can be used to provide more tickets to go towards the rewards you are pursuing. Items will not seem unattainable, or severely luck based, they will allow players to obtain the items they wish given time and determination! Tickets will only count for the NM in question, you will not be able to have tickets from Kaggen used for Kalasutrax drops, however, this is why Heavy Metal is in the buy list, it provides a use for tickets even if one already obtains all drops while having tickets left over. This would also heighten the supply of Heavy Metal, making Emp95 easier to obtain.

When Emp99 was released it was said many would have Emp99s, but very few would ever have Afterglow. This was incorrect due to the fact most people do not even have Emp95s. This is because of the 1500 Heavy Metal needed that in cost rivals an entire Relic weapon of which can be gotten to level 95 with less effort and time. To this day, I have seen I believe perhaps 4-6 Emp99s, while most are still at the 85~90 stage.

I think this would solve problems everyone has with VW in all, time can reward, luck still plays a part (this is a RPG, it should play a part, just not consume the existence of events or gameplay) and all in all it would improve the amount of Heavy Metal in the world to allow more players to obtain a high level Emp (as it stands now, a player is better off making an Emp to 85 and using it only until getting a Relic after which is able to be easily gotten to 95, and potentially 99 with less money than an Emp) while also reducing waste because you can spend any tickets you have left over on things you can trade or petrifacts if you need some. This would also solve many back line problems with Voidwatcher including the currently being implemented Ticket system.


(Maybe if my rant is the 2nd post people might actually see it and pay attention...)

Oh how I look forward to buying my nice 5 Ephemeron Cells which will probably run for 20~30Mil+... yay~

/sigh -_-

That's the problem with Tanaka's preferred types of systems. You jump through all the hoops they ask of you, use all the tools they give you to up your chances, and you still walk away with nothing time and time again. Pure dumb blind luck trumps skill, dedication, preparation, teamwork, etc. It truly is better to be lucky than good.

And they probably wonder why people get fed up and discouraged and quit or ignore the content the devs worked soooo hard to implement. I guess in the devs' eyes it's better for players to be lucky than good and better for content to be exclusive than popular.

Not that I'm in love with this system because I think they could have done better, but that is essentially 10-15 days of Dynamis farming. I mean, at least there IS an option to buy instead of spending those same 10-15 days spamming the mob and walking away with nothing. Supply might be a problem at first, but there is no longer a restriction to have the item before obtaining a Pulse cell for it, so I can see more and more cells being generated as time passes. And there are weakness items now, so rarer mobs that people don't do as much in PUGs will be rendered easier.

Actually I was meaning 20~30mil each ;; I figure the drop rate of that sword being roughly 1~.01% and not many people seem to do Aello without actually wanting the sword themselves the price will be very very high. I expect my Ephemeron to run me about as much as my Excalibur simply due to few Aello runs done on this server combined with the extremely low drop rate. Items such as T3 Jeuno & T4 City bodys might be cheaper, but I think at best I will be looking at about 10mil for each cell for Ephemeron. I still think HQ weapons like Ephemeron have what seem to be a lower drop rate and should only be 2~3 cells not 5 like the bodys, but eh, just my experience from it.

Well, at least I can join Pil shouts again. I had Toci's (but wanted his feet also but was afraid to see multiple bodies and guilt myself). Now I can join them for chance at feet and sell off extra body and think in my head; maybe I'm helping out a fellow player. lol

[Monchat]

it will not be priced at 20~30M, for the first few weeks yes, maybe. I can't imagine those being as expensive as meteor. It is sellable to the AH so this prevent inflation.
