53 runs of 10+ quests for a reincarnation? Bollocks.

[Circon]

There's been a general thread of complaining "my tokens won't work any more" which I generally agree with: it's bad enough to suddenly remove one of the main uses of a high-level currency, it's pants-on-head-******** to then put in a SECOND high-level currency doing the SAME THING which people have to earn all over again, and it's bloody frustrating to make that other high-level currency SELECTIVELY AVAILABLE so people without the right packs are locked out of it.

However, here I'd like to take a moment to point out something else that's ********.

End of Eberron, the saga, appears to provide something like 17 tokens when run on Epic Hard.

One needs 900 tokens for the smallest heart.

900/17 = 52.94

That's a chain of 11 quests which must be run 53 times each to get the smallest heart in the new system.

That's ******** expensive. It's not challenging, it's not interesting, it's grindy.

Grindy, grindy, grindy. Full of grind. Grindful. Super grindy.

And then more grind for the other hearts of wood.



Please rethink this change, Turbine. Putting in A METRIC ASSLOAD OF GRIND (that's about 0.8 imperial arseloads) into the game is not going to be fun. It's going to be annoying. Very annoying. How annoying? Let me clarify the annoyingness of the grind by using one "grind" and one "very" for each time I'd have to run End of Eberron to get a Heart of Wood:
(that's once per CHAIN, not once per QUEST)


The grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, will be very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very annoying.


And you thought the House of Rusted Blades/Impossible Demands farms for epic destinies were bad.

can't imagine any one thinking these TR changes was a good idea.
