[quote=tifa]yay, someone finally thinks along the same lines as me
i tried posting essentially the same thing you said in the other thread and basilers just like, proved their below average comprehension skillz.[/quote]

It's good to know that some people grasp that only the hackers/ meso botters would have been the only ones to benefit from stars 16-25. Most of the people posting don't seem to fathom that with stars 16-25 hackers will have an additional 2000+ attack edge just from having ALL tyrant like stats on their equips while the mass majority of the community will never be able to keep up and more than likely quit and rage at Nexon for releasing such a game breaking power creep.

No superior star seems to be pretty good in my opinion

@epikkhighh: The costs are nothing compared to shelling out NX at the abysmal 1:300+ rate. 1.8 billion for a 6k NX try at a star is many times worse than 55 million a try, despite the rank risk. This system is built around getting affordable tyrants within the 1-5 star range and only becomes an expensive meso sink if you try to pass that.

[quote=epikkhighh]but its 50% chance at 0 star and 40% after 3rd star. now thats okay, but the thing is the 100% decrease star rate. so if you are unlucky, you could go from 6 stars to 4 or even 3 (yes i know you get a 100% success rate after 2 fail attempts, but what if you decrease 2 stars after that? its not in your favor)[/quote]

nexon has to make money off superior wards somehow dude

it should never be in your favor; it's gambling. You get lucky.

[quote=PlayThatMelody]It's a small price to pay to get tyrants up several stars. At least now, there can be some peace of mind for me to know that I don't have to burn 6k NX for an attempt for at single star.[/quote]

And all the people thinking that they were going to be handed 15 star tyrants qq

I like it. Nexon is trying to prevent a power creep. Maybe in time newer players won't even use tyrants as higher star ones will eventually phase out and new sets like that Suu one will actually be worthwhile?

a few months ago i said that nexon is gonna change the star force enhancemnt to where they wouldnt lose money on shielding wards and such... so i dont get y everyone is so shocked that they made these changes. and they also said that they might change the enhancment system again in the future after more data is collected
