Hi!
I'm Aeromoz, I play through the Steam platform, and I have played on and off since the beta (?), or basically when elevators cost energy, and mist tanks existed, and there was an old HUD, and you automatically leveled up a weapon by using it in the Clockworks, etc.
I must really congratulate Three Rings and Sega on a game very well done, very much different from what I've normally seen. Especially the music, I can never get enough of it.
However, I cannot say if the changes from the start have all been completely good, but I feel that the largest shortcoming would be the Orbs Of Alchemy. I understand that this would set different tiers of equipment apart, leaving each Knight to be able to keep to their set stage of equipment.
In the past week, I've played around 8 runs, in the arcade, and once in Tier 2 of OCH, along with the special prestige mission, and throughout those runs, I have not seen a single Elite Orb, even in Stratum 4. This is really off-putting, and I would like to request a reevaluation of the current availability of Alchemy Orbs in general.
Thank you for reading, I do appreciate this!
3 orbs for crafting cost the same in energy as crafting did before they were implemented, they're designed so that you buy them from the supply depot and finding some in the clockworks is a rare bonus, so OOO can still make some money from them while still being sort of free to play
If you won't listen to that, then I'll need to say: if you farm in the right areas then they're really easy to get, a quick forum search will get you some good depths and places
