Okay kiddies, a new patch arrived on the test server last night. And according to the patch notes...
Merit RewardsNow keep in mind these are subject to change, but I figured why not compile the changes in a post as people on the forums test them out.
- All tasks have had their Merit times and rewards re-evaluated. Most tasks received an increase to merits reward.
- Failing a mission that is the final (or only) mission of a story arc, task force, strike force or trial may result in reduced rewards. Failing tasks that have 2 or less missions will award 0 merits. Failing tasks that have 3-4 missions will award 50% merits. Failing a task that has 5 or more missions will result in normal merits.

I like that Posi was upped quite a bit. I was sure they would have knocked a few merits off of it.
ReplyDeleteA heroes Hero will be good one to run solo. (It can be done)
To save a thousand worlds I think could have gone up a bit more. That is in all honestly an hour or two longer than the Posi run.
Well, considering how dead the market is... I'm willing to take whatever buffs I can get. Daddy needs a Numina.
ReplyDeleteTrue, but give it some time and the market will be up and running again. When it does we'll either have some nice cash from merit drops OR it will be flooded and the prices will drop. Either way right now it is going to take some work to get what we needs.
ReplyDeleteI dunno about that, merits have fundamentally changed the market... It may not bounce back as much as you think. I believe the devs underestimated how many people would opt for security rather than gamble.
ReplyDeleteWill we get retro'ed on things we have done previously?
ReplyDeleteWouldn't that be nice
ReplyDeleteSince you have done Positron, more times than a cheap hooker.....you should be able to afford 4 sets of Numinas.
ReplyDeleteHey, in this economy...cheap hookers are where it's at.
ReplyDeleteI seriously doubt they'd retro anything... they never do. And Posi isn't really as bad as everyone says... 2 and a half to 3 hours, No AV... That's a saturday afternoon.
ReplyDeleteAnd Pos isn't into cheap hookers... He digs Scyntech's manly backrubs.
coconut oil WTF!
