Okay so this is my first post ever here and I would like to see how many people would like this idea, before I get into the idea I want to say this; You see guys with five star gear, now I have come to the realization that back then (even several months ago) crystal energy( ce ) prices were dramatically lower. Now I don't know how low they went because I only started playing this game a few months ago. Since I have started ce prices have risen to such prices of 7000 crown for 100 ce, (or even higher) [ thats 1k + since I started ]. Why is this important?. You simply don't make enough doing runs(arcade) for money. Yes there are a few tricks that can make a little extra money. The MAIN reason why ce prices are so high,is there are no supply to crystal energy/mist in the game( you have to buy ce with real money / mist only goes to 100 which simply isn't enough ).What I am about to suggest is dramatic and will effect prices a little.

IF YOU HAVE STAYED WITH ME FOR THIS LONG...heres my idea.

I want to suggest one of two things.

1 ) Mist energy doesn't stop at 100, it should go to 400 ( I think because that is what you need for a four star item,..it would take awhile because the time it takes to get mist energy wont change. )

2 ) there should be a supply to mist / crystal energy. , like if you get certain achievements you get X amount of energy or making it so far without dyeing(like 10 energy).

What do you guys think ( assuming one person will read this )

Increasing the Mist Cap can

Increasing the Mist Cap can be good and bad. Good in that I can play more, but bad in that I am playing more. More playing = more crowns per day = higher costs on CE since I can buy more (creating more demand on same supply).

Having a way to get CE through mist is also a bad idea.

Getting CE though achievements is also a bad idea.

yes I do see the bad ideas on this, but i was just trying to recommend something, I never mentioned ce through mist,i said there should be a supply in the game to get ce or mist (besides getting to t2/3 ). The bad side to my idea,yes prices on items can change because you can save more, but I did mention a cap to the mist,just a higher one. .and maybe not achievements i was just mentioning an idea.

create multiple accounts...

create multiple accounts... craft free 4* items--> since they are free, i can sell them cheap----> new players will buy them because price is so cheap and reach T3 in a day---> since they reach T3 in one day, they'll die easily and get bored pretty quickly---> so bored they'll leave the game

100 mist tank should stay as it is.

Good

I like the Mist tank cap and the energy for achievements but maybe just a 5 mist energy refund not CE

creig and juances

creig yes about the achievements, it wouldnt be much like 5 for the first (like gunslinger) and 15 for master gunslinger..it wouldnt be much

and juan, if you make multiple accounts they function on the same mist tank. so you couldnt craft with one and fight with the other. and i have made items and sold them for money. it doesnt give much profit and after that i have no energy to do runs..so im bord

Hmm

Well I have read all your post and I will tell you what I like about it:

"2 ) there should be a supply to mist / crystal energy. ,[ ] or making it so far without dyeing(like 10 energy).

This would actually be great because it would give SKILL value in the actual game. For example, as you said, getting a "X Survivor" (Bronze, Silver, Gold) requirement completed could give you a lil CE amount.

I also think that for people who have high amounts of inactivity there could be a 5-10% conversion of mist to CE, as I think it was stated that CE was "concentrated energy" (...yeah I know it is crystal energy, I mean what it is xD). Why?

> Crafting a 2* equip= 350 Crowns at sale in NPC vendor profit. Actual CE price? 7000+ crowns.

If you increase crowns, CE

If you increase crowns, CE will match it. The big question is "do I want to play more or less for the same amount of profit?".

"and juan, if you make multiple accounts they function on the same mist tank."
not if you make them on different computers, and pay money on at least one.

If you raise the mist energy

If you raise the mist energy limit to 400, it will be more advantageous for people already in tier 3, since they make more crowns there. This will cause them to purchase CE at a rate even faster than the lower tiers.

Although i think there should be some ways to generate CE other than the energy depot. Perhaps a small prize in the prize wheel, or possibly rarely dropped by some monsters/bushes. Nothing much of course, but perhaps letting most players getting a bonus 100 over the course of about 3 weeks or so would be great.

yes I can see your point, but to any ideas there are goods and bad. I like you suggestions at the bottom about the prize wheel or 100 every 3 weeks or so..

i really hope they do something about this problem
