    IMO they could do an "exchange office" on the scavenger, where we could exchange 2 pieces of a gear by 1 piece of the same gear, but only being able to choose the previous or next level.

    Example:

    2 Mk4 stun guns = 1 Mk5 stun gun
    2 MK4 carbanti = 1 Mk3 carbanti

    Etc...

    I don't know how well this would go down, I can already imagine some new player exchanging all their mk 3 carbantis for mk 4 carbantis because they think "hey, mk 4 is higher than mk 3 so it's got to be better"

    1. This would be their fault.
    2. Even if some dudes didnit, they would be able to recover the wasted Mk3 carbantis.

    yeah it's a slippery slope, but shouldn't mk 4 be better than mk 3? :wink:

    1 better, for sure

  • You folks need to stop drinking the koolaid.

    The doubled shards didn't help the gear crunch at all. Now it is easier to fill out your roster which characters you can't gear. They knew this just like they knew kyros were not going to ease the crunch. Just like they knew moving all the g12 stuff to fleet wasn't actually going to help. I do not believe they will ever address this issue. Not in any meaningful way.

    These threads are always interesting. Almost 6 years in and the only real change to the gear crunch was to replace the carb crunch with kyro crunch along with adding more crunch.

    Ah yes we have added kyros to reduce the stun gun crunch.
    Also CG, yes tech needs 300 kyros and 100 stun guns to go from gear 8 to 11

    CG apparently thinks so since they keep tossing them in every single reward pool they come out with

    Hands down the greatest lie by CG to date.

    I had a similar idea only it was before the Scavenger came around.

    Just set up a new currency type, call them, Gear Chits or whatever.

    And then set up an exchange rate for each color/type of gear.

    For example......

    White Full = 1
    Green Full = 2
    Blue Full = 6
    Blue Shard (5) = 1
    Purple Shard (20) = 4
    Purple Shard (50) = 10
    Gold Shard (20) = 6
    Gold Shard (50) = 15
    Kryo Shard = 20

    Make it Same in as Same out. Not 2-1.
    Let folks convert what they have too much of for something they need.

    I don't even think it needs to be the same gear item "IE. Carbanti"
    Jut set a rate for the items based on their color & if its a Full or Shard type item.

    But its probably WAY to much memory to actually have a store with that many slots on it.
    Though frankly they would be better off with a Drop Down menu to save all the picture space & just list them in a text form.

    I think it works when you count DOWN the Carbanti.

    Mk1 is the best of them by far. They just keep getting worse

    This makes no sense, even assuming it was meant to be a joke.

    I always heard that explaining the joke makes it funnier

    Explain why this is funny then. Mk3 is obviously the best, so there's no order that works the way the joke teller intended. If that's the entirety of the joke, that it makes no sense, ok, great joke.

    I never said it was a funny joke.
