Suggestions for Trust system

[EdwinLi]

God when I saw what happened to the Trust NPC after finishing the MSQ I dreaded. Seriously what were they thinking? It would take 6 runs on the first dungeon alone to level up 3 Trust one level. Not fun at all.

I mean it's nice to gain EXP for my other classes, but seriously the amount of EXP to gain for each of them AND the number of them... ugh. I hate super grinds.

Also we lose two Trust NPCs so I can not longer use Lyna or the Crystal Exarch for the first dungeon meaning I lose out on some of the Story Dungeon quips the NPCs has. Along with another certain NPC, though I don't know if it will be the same if you use that NPC's updated version for past dungeon for the same quips.

Unless there's an achievement or something I feel like finishing the MSQ just neutered the Trust System then helped it.

There is with a Title and Alternate Outfits for Trust as well if you max all of them being their Pre-Shadowbringer outfits.

Really? And ALL of them... ugh.

Though what of Lyna and Crystal Exarch? They're gone forever, right? Unless the Alternate Outfits somehow change them to those characters.
Still not worth it though especially with the grind.

So much agreed. Having to re-level the trust is like a self-defeating purpose -- "Do this so you can do it more."

For a bit of math, if we have to do it 13 times each to unlock the next dungeon... each taking half an hour because Trusts are so slow, never aoe etc.......

That's 6.5 hours per dungeon to unlock

6.5 until Dohn Mheg
13 until Qitana Ravel
19.5 until Malikah's Well
26 until Mt. Gulg
32.5 until Amaurot

A total of 65 dungeon runs to unlock the last MSQ dungeon (if that is actually doable with the Trust after going through MSQ, idk).

If you play 2-3 hours per day, and do little but that it will take you around 2 weeks of NOTHING but leveling your trust to get to Amaurot.

And then you only got 3 of them up to that point, the others are still languishing in Switch.

Tad bit much ^^;

So yes please, improve the Trust system, and most of all... either make the leveling REALLY fast... or remove it entirely, just let us run any of the 5.0 MSQ dungeons, period.

It's six runs per level, and since they start at 71 they only need nine levels to max out, not ten.
