Can we keep our gate progress please?

I know there are several type of gate combinations, but to have to re-run a gate I've completed before just so I can get to tier 2 or tier 3 without having to pay crowns makes it discouraging to run all the clockworks except the ones that I find most profitable.

It'd be great if we were able to keep our progress on gates that we have completed instead of having to re-run tier 1 again or pay crowns through every depth of tier 2 and 3. This makes me feel like the game likes to penalize people more than reward them.

I hope I'm not alone on this. Thanks for your time!

The next gate that comes

The next gate that comes around isn't an old gate reappearing. It can be a new gate that happens to have the same name as an old gate, but it isn't actually the old gate.

I think..

that it's not what he meant. I think he meant i you sudden;y had to stop when you reached an area, could they leave you there instead of you having to do the whole gate all over again.

Scenario: JK fight.
-I go all the way down the clockworks, pwning everything that stands in my way to get to JK. I get to his first stage when I realise I'm ut of game time and have to quit.

The person would like to stay in that area and continue from there instead of having to do it all over again just to get back to where he was last time.

He's actually talking about how when you get clearance from a gate from the previous tier. Example clear tier 1 and tier 2 has no fee in crowns for jumping down except for the mist/ce costs and the same for tier 3 by clearing tier 2.

What he wants is for that bonus to persist. When the gates change through the rotation even though the gate has the same name/symbol it is a different gate altogether in terms of CR costs to jump ahead. That's because it's a whole new column that's been created.

No worries. Not a lot of people know about it actually. But now you can take advantage of this new tidbit of information!

Stupidsays is correct in his

Stupidsays is correct in his interpretation, sorry if my original post didn't make the most sense.

I understand it's a new column, it'd just be nice to have that progressed saved so long-term players are able to run back through the gates with the option to skip tier one, instead of a necessity to play through tier 1 to make the next two tiers free of crowns.

Does anyone know if it is only the first time you go down you have to pay crowns if you haven't completed previous tiers? Or is it on *every* depth in that gate terminal you have to pay crowns? Or is it only each stratum?

Thanks again!

As long as you haven't

As long as you haven't cleared the previous tier, the elevator fee always includes the crown cost. Edit: For joining the tier from haven. Not per floor.

It can be pretty harsh, if you get disconnected during a run and have to rejoin in tier 3, but that's the way it is.

I, Yosama Bentus Abin, would like none of this lovely said elaboration due to the multiple points that I am making a pointless reply.
