Nobody's going to purchase 50 Radiant Fire Crystals for 700 CE while Radiant Fire Crystals barely drop.
If you're not going to fix the Radiant Fire Crystal drop rate, reduce the price of Radiants to 300 CE for 100 Radiants
+1. I've just put 5* on hold for now.
I would be greedier, but any improvement works at this point. +1
(I don't want anything to die) Necro...!
I agree. There's no way I'm going to spend my valuable CE on 100 crystals that will only increase my gear by 1-2 heat levels, assuming that the forge will actually be a success. +1
*Sagely nods and waves hand over magical pot*
Indeed, my friends. I foresee a glorious new age being ushered in! The players will cheer as gladness is near! Their weapons, honed now with an abundance of power, will push back the monsters to-
Oh wait. Spiral Knights? Thought you were talking about the game that ISN'T blatantly OP. My bad.
OOO, with your current Radiant price in the depot, we pay 14ce for every fire crystal. Multiply that by 453 to make players pay, to level up crystals using the maximum amount of crystals, wait for it...
SIX THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED FOURTY TWO CRYSTAL ENERGY!!!!!

Yep. You read correctly. Around fifteen dollars PER ITEM!! For a helmet, armor, shield, and two weapons, that is 70-100 dollars. Do you really want players to leave simply because of your not-so-great Supply Depot prices for Fire Crystals (and for equips)? If you think players will fork over the money to do this, hehe...yeah right. Players would, and already had, fill up the Suggestions, General Discussion, and Graveyard subforums with complaints on your demand on endgame players paying for something that makes a giant difference in the game. Heck, running UEFSC is cheaper EVEN IF everyone pays for their own Shadow Key. Lower the price, and by lower the price, I do NOT mean sales that last for a few days and only discount fifty CE for an already overpriced pack. Radiants were never abundent EVEN WHEN they were FIRST RELEASED!! If you would like some extra profit, make more promos, and I can say that with all the boxes you made that it works. It works. Yes, it is unoriginal and last-effort, but it works. Nothing gets destroyed. Nothing gets serious nerfs. And the Auction House gets extra items to suck in crowns. I would rather spend 6342 energy on a few event boxes than to level up an item when the Radiants should get a price drop anyways.
You made Disintegration Ray do more damage against Fiend and Undead and the other four monster types than Dazzling Ray. You made Violent Heart Attack not do any damage. You made the ghosts from Haunted Haze do almost no damage in T3 when someone could get Chaotic Haze for the status chance. You said the Shard Bomb nerf would "ultimately lead to a better play experience for everyone." You said that Drakon attacks are meant to be "powerful". And now this. This...mockery to the players. What makes you think we would heat up our gears when we could buy something good like World of Goo or Cave Story or Super Meat Boy, or even the Sonic Pack. Now, you aren't a bad company OOO. You made one of the best soundtracks I ever heard of so I dumped listening to celebs to listen to VG music purely. Your game graphics are excellent for both Low and High quality, and I can hardly tell that the low quality graphics are even that bad. And the level generation never gets old. I'll always remember you OOO for those three big rings.
All that we, your paying customers, ask of you is to lower the price of Radiants to about a 3ce:1crystal ratio. We understand that Fire Crystals shouldn't come in abundence, but then look at the price in large text above to level an item to 10 (assuming no level skips). Heck, this could even be part of the Arcade Redux. A good amount of threads mention the lack of Radiants, mentioning a reasonable price somewhere. Hopefully I can print this comment and tape it to the fridge. Thank you for reading this, if you did.
Frankly I think OOO should just remove this stupid system anyways. It's just a greedy ploy by them to get people to buy more CE to pay for the ridiculous amounts of fire crystals they need.
I'll just perpetuate the rage a bit more with a bump.
Maybe you're right... but 300 ce for 100 crystals is too low... 350 ce for 50 crystals would be a right price..
Bump.
