DUST Search - The New Warbarge Mechanic

All of you are looking at this all wrong.

Someone in this thread, maybe the OP made a comparison to Clash of Clans. Do you expect to have your village totally maxed out in a week? Then you better ante up big money for the gems and the whims to get it done.

Why do all of you expect that you should be able to upgrade your warbarge immediately? Why should you be able to max it out asap? What's wrong with waiting 6 days? Its not like YOU have to personally grind anything...its a time sink, just like training skills in EVE Online.

You're all so spoiled and think just because its shiny you should be able to get all of it right up front. You a spoiled little brat and want it all up front? Head to Wal-Mart and get you some PSN cards, 'Jack.

Me? I'll be waiting the 6 days for my warbarge to upgrade and then I'll log in and upgrade it. You ninny ass little sissies are ridiculous...milennial adults whiny ass little babies

Boo freaking hoo *ears perk up* do you hear the siren of the whambulance? I do.

I was optimistic about this idea when I heard about it. More stuff to play with, some small passives to help you out, and even though the +5% damage sounded a little sketchy I was still liking the idea. I logged in the first day to look at it, found out everything started on a cooldown, and played a few games. When I looked back at it, the first thing had come off cooldown, the component producer or whatever it is called. I upgraded it, played a few more games, checked the cooldown on the warbarge itself, then logged off. Next time I log on is today. I go to claim my components, then check the warbarge. 1,119 components to upgrade. I blink my eyes a few times and do a double take. Yep, it sure does cost 1,119 components to get your second upgrade in this entire warbarge mechanic. You know, when I saw people here comparing this new system to phone games, I thought it was a pretty spot on comparison, but I didn't think much more of it. This is worse, this is, I might go as far to say, disgusting. At 200 components a day, it would take at least 6 godamn days to get your second upgrade. Your second upgrade. For those of you who haven't played Clash of Clans or something similar, they don't start springing ridiculously long wait times like 6 days until about your 100th upgrade. And that's not even the worst of it. It would take 6 days AT LEAST. If you're like me, and you only log in once or twice a week, due to the cap on the amount of components that can be held (400, at this level) the SECOND upgrade in this entire system could potentially take WEEKS. From what the game has told me, upgrading the warbarge doesn't give you any kind of passive, either. It just unlocks the ability for me to be able to upgrade my component producer another time, and gives me a single new thing. So let me sum that up: It will take me weeks to buy an upgrade, that does nothing more than give me the authority to buy other upgrades that might actually help me. How much will those upgrades cost? Months? But wait, You can buy components with AURUM, we are all saved! You can reduce those wait times to nothing if you just throw money at it. And you know what? I would be ok with that, if the F2P version wasn't so grossly weak in comparison. Two months from now, when I've finally gotten enough components to purchase +1% damage to my weapons, I will have spent the previous two months getting outperformed by people who purchased +5% damage on the first day. I'll go ahead and repeat myself here: that is disgusting. This was the only actually exciting thing brought with Warlords 1.0, I sure hope we actually get something worthwhile in 1.1. SP Sinks? Fixed.

You can re-read my post to actually understand it, but I doubt you will seeing as you are acting like a child. Nowhere did I say I wanted to max my village instantly, but the massive disparity between payed and nonpayed users is tremendous. Like I said, possibly weeks just to get my warbarge to 2, and undoubtedly there are already people who threw AUR at their warbarge and already have +5% damage and all the other bells and whistles. In Clash of Clans you have to spend much more real money to get much less effect than we get in this game. SP Sinks? Fixed.
