So, I have been playing Star Warfare: Payback more recently, and I have noticed a problem. Now, I am a pro at Alien Invasion, so I thought that my skills from the first would carry over to the second. But I have noticed some problems. The biggest one is the economy. Now, you all know that you have an 100% chance of earning mithril from bosses 5 times a day. Well, if you do heroic Crimson Queen all five times and always get the MAX amount of mithril, that would round up to about 85 mithril. Well, if you base it off of the drop chances and compare it to Star Warfare: Alien Invasion, that is about equal to 8.5 mithril every day and 17 mithril every 2 days. and taking the weapons cost into account, using the obsidian's cost and dividing it by 10, just like I did the mithril drop rates, that means it would cost 440 mithril. That would be the most expensive weapon in the game, far surpasing the M-Z7B2 and Laser Cannon by a whopping 120 mithril. What do you think? Something wrong with the drop rates?
I think that's a problem. The economy in Payback is much less balanced than in Alien Invasion, and even that was hard to scrape for mithril. In the sequel, it's just plain unfair. Not only that, but the gold is a problem, too. In the first one, you could earn about 1,000,000 gold from X-mas surprise and Serpent, the hardest bosses in the game. From heroic Crimson Queen, I got about 600,000 the one and only time I beat her. But the weapon and upgrade costs are still the same. The next upgrade for my RABS-II Harbinger (So as you can see, I am not a noob) will cost 6,000,000. I would have to do heroic Crimson Queen 10 times if it gave at least 600,000 max amount of gold all 10 times to get that much. And guess what? That is only Harbinger level 5 to 6. What will the next upgrades be like?
And all that would be hard enough if there was a RANK BARRIER. But no, whenever I create a boss fight, I get noobs who have never even played the game piling up to join. If we COULD get a rank barrier to keep newbies from stopping any good players from joining, I would be having a MUCH easier time.
The point is, we need Freyr to fix the rewards for the game. But until then, I need some tips on how to navigate through the game and actually get enough gold and mithril to get the things I want, because so far, it's almost impossible. I've also tried the free mithril thing, but for some reason it doesn't give me any of the mithril it should, so it doesn't seem to work for me. So if you could give me some tips on how to play the game right and get better without IAPs and "Free Mithril", that would be great. (Sorry for the rant. It felt good to get that out.)
