I'm sure you've all read plenty of complaint threads up to this point, but get ready to hear another.

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.

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.

6 days for the first upgrade? Fair enough. No complaints from me.
The second upgrade is 2400 and something. So double the price. That's 12 weeks or 3 months.
Now if level 4 follows this pattern, then it's either going to be around the 3600 mark (18 weeks, 4.5 months) or, if it doubles like the last upgrade cost, 4800 mark ( 24 weeks, 2 weeks shy off of HALF A YEAR)
Someone clarify the Level 4 upgrade cost for me?

Now, level 4 taking upto half a year potentially IS disgraceful.

But the reason I quoted your post was to explain why we're being indignant, but also to point out that there was no need for your ignorant, needlessly rude, and completely unhelpful reply.
If you don't want to read it, either don't bother, or leave. You know where the door is.

I could say the same thing to you about my response *thumbs up* make sure you have a sound foundation before you start preaching at me otherwise it'll crumble around you.

Oh look, too late. The way to express to me if I don't want to read it don't bother or leave I know where the door is, is to not reply to me at all and just let that comment go unnoticed.

Plus not everyone feels that way because garnered a couple likes with it even though I was seriously serious and seriously being an ass but sometimes I just get annoyed with all of you that constantly p!ss and moan and b!tch about every little thing....

Where you going? You afraid your life will crumble if your warbarge isn't upgraded in a year? Oh well dude...not the end of the world

I am ok with buying components with AUR. The more money CCP makes, the better dust will get.


I am NOT ok with Cooldown removal. This breaks game big time.

Yeah, this is pretty much what i mean by 'cheezy marketing tacktikz'

Personally i don't care about the wait, i got patience. But i also got taste, and this whole sorry thing makes me feel bad....for New Eden.

Eh, gotta lean towards M. Epic on this, though your last reply was kinda hard to follow ;)
I'll sum it up using what that kat said to whom you were replying to begin with: "If you don't want to play it, either don't bother, or leave."

Oh, I'm actually not even slightly irritated about warbarge progression times taking forever anymore. Not after discovering this

Your numbers are wrong.
when you upgrade, it produces more components per day.

From your post, I guess you are one of the young ones that expect eveything, immediately and for nothing.

Give a little, get a little.
Doesn't matter if money or time, but you have to give to receive.
