Dev Tracker - Discussion

Thanks Trixi. I never saw this thread, as I don't ever visit reddit or view the live streams. Good info.

What's the speculation about the new NMs/content being added to seekers' zones? Maybe something like Unity-style popping? Maybe enhanced versions/of Delve NMs? New gear?

Could be anything.

Could be force pop. Could be claim nm. Could be world nm. Could have drops. Could be automatic rewards. Could be hour respawns. Could be instant. Could be dailies. Could be 3 years of RPing.

Seem to be using the same models as delve, but that's coincidental. Every adoulin zone is type themed. Yeah, the morimar pop will be a lizard. Yeah, the ceizak pop will be a bug. Yeah, the foret pop will be an aquan. Yeah, the yorcia pop will be a plant. yeah, the kamhir pop will be a beast.

Just gonna hope(foolishly) that there's some utility gear in there and its not just generic catch up gear only for new players fact they took out strange happenings rse+1 would lead me to believe this is likely gonna be that though just probably job aligned slightly instead

According to Trixi and those reddit posts, it's the trust equip. I thought they might just do another version of the Domain Invasion sets that absolutely nobody bothered to use for a 5min fight. But it sounds like more stopgap gear, not for endgame players.

It depends how many zones they put them in. Is it just one per zone, or one per WKR domain? That would leave 6 zones. I would be shocked if it was anything more than upgraded Bayld sets.

They're gap filling because odyssey is *** impossible

Instead of just fixing odyssey. As if 5 more str is why people can't beat T3 and Bumba.
(I don't think any amount of gear creep is going to make a difference, but whatever, let them just keep failing, they'll figure it out after it's too late as always)

It could be both was my thought, similar to ambu gear of old where a piece/pieces had some utility function beyond their once decent base stats so for awhile a piece or two might stick around jsut for that use alone. Wont at all be surprised if the reward is just trust related though, which may or not be worthwhile, we'll see

This would be interesting if it were for trust equips, and now that you mention it, I could see it being a DI-style fight where you go in a rotation and farm points to buy trust armors or something, but knowing SE, it'll probably be something unpopular lol

This first round of the NMs is for gap gear only. Trust Equip is coming later in the year.

Gap gear is intended to bridge between Ambu+2 and Malignance/Empyrean.

I look forward to all the groaning.

2-8 hour lotto repop
5% drop rate

Yes there's a gap there but is it really enough design space to operate in? I'm not sure why my simply add +3 for ambu gear. Add 5%DT a piece, 30-40 magic evasion and some small stat bumps and bomb done lol. Some of the pieces would be incredible.

Gear doesn't solve the issue at hand. Unless they go above Nyame.

They're doing the same thing they had to do with adoulin. Delve was impossible so they added 101 107 109 111 115 117 but everyone was already in 119.

The difference is we could carry delve (relatively) penalty free, and catch scrubs up, no such thing for odyssey. You got more plasm you got more drops you got merits, I guess. But odyssey provides literally zero incentive to help or repeat.
