People think there are too many currencies? Really? Guess we shouldn't ask for Justice points :/
It only makes sense that Blizz would add a new currency for further legendary upgrading. They uncapped Soul Ash a while ago and folks will have a bit saved up. Blizz will want us to participate in the new content to upgrade our legendaries. It is either add a new currency or wipe out the old ASH to even the playing field. I am sure this would be SUPER unpopular since it has been the sole reward (mostly other than the occasional memory and pet drop) for running Torghast.If I understand this correctly, If I run a Layer 12 (once 9.1 hits) my reward will be: 570 old ash ( for layers 1-8) and Soul Cinders in the amount rewarded for that Layer 12. This allows me to accrue old currency to continue to make more legendaries if I wish either to try out a different one or for completionism's sake in addition to a quantity of the new currency to work toward upgrading my existing legendaries.Overall, this all seems logical and makes sense in the current system which they are basically committed to at this point! So.... offfff we gooo!
I like it that people bring up 9.3 but at the rate they are releasing major patches there will be 9.1 then 9.1.5 and 9.2 and MAYBE 9.2.5 and then 10.0 which is the next expansion.
2. Leg would be awesome
So instead of wiping soul ash this was there solution to prevent people from preparing for the new patch. Why do they bother doing this stuff? If people want to be overly prepared and do weekly soul ash grinds to max there legendary week 1 of 8.1 I say go for it. If Blizzards intention is to change the currencies season by season they need to be pre emptive in telling everyone "Hey soul ash is for season 1 legendary ranks"
What about crafting?If I have a new char, I will need to craft 10 items 190 lvl to lvlup it till 235+++ ?
Give the developers a break. They are already unable to balance the game properly in a situation where 95% of legendaries are not reasonably usable and people can only equip 1. How do you expect them to balance it if people can equip two ?
What warframe does is also to keep those currencies limited to a specific content. There is a crushingly huge amount of things to farm, but you can - must, if you want to retain a social life - pick and choose where your focus is. In Warcraft, you need to do everything to stay relevant in the game, and that's the main difference.
Well problem is that it usually isn't the same people complaining. You please one side and the other hate you for it. Personally I would make people vote on these systems and if someone complains slap them in the face with the fact that the majority wants it.
Will we need to purchase profession base items to upgrade AGAIN for ridiculous prices? I really hope not
By the end of the expansion we'll be using soul infernos to upgrade leggos. Oh, it's gonna be so fun to rush torghast till layer 30! Can't wait
The new currency was expected and is natural to the next tier everyone farms it from scratch at the same time, not start to accumulate Sou Ash right now.The big problem is making Torghast a bigger burden.
