Question: Is it with paying $49.99 for 3 skill shards? I'm conflicted. I've used a total of 13 for my ID. If I understand the new Achievement scale, I'll receive another for using 15. Is it worth the price?

Only you can decide this. Personally, I think it's a very poor deal. A few skill shards. $49. Real money, not just pocket change. And will you notice the difference? I have no problem paying for a service, I subscribed to Eve online for years, and still use iRacing.com (which is $12 per car, up to $14 per track). These aren't cheap games, but for the use I get from them, I think they are good value.

I understand the shards are rare but considering you cannot allocate them to your choice of ability, and you need lots to fully upgrade one Eddie, there is a bit of risk to them.

I agree. Assuming you have a full roster of troopers you will pull in max 2500 points/day, although allowing for some troopers being offline / crashes / deaths say you get a conservative 10000 per week for two skill shards. Will dropping $50 on 3 shards allow you significantly more joy over the next week and a half? If so then by all means grab the shards and bonus gold/ironite/XP boost but I'm with Ian on this. Too much outlay for too uncertain a gain. I'd keep on grinding to get the talismans up, and spend (probably less) cash on ironite instead if you need to.

Thanks for the feedback. I felt it's a bit over priced as well.

Uhh yeah that's a terrible deal! 50 bucks? For skill shards and a few extras?? LOFL!! Yeah right! I pays bills 4x cheaper than that every month (Netflix, Spotify come to mind) that are far more entertaining than skill shards haha! How about 50 bucks for my pick of a few Eddies?? Now there's a deal!

I don't spend any real money on this game, it's useless! Better to invest 50 bucks in real "physics" games!! lol

50 troopers = 1,250/day. If reciprocated 100% by your troopers, you get a max of 2,500/day, which is one skillshard every 48 hrs. Since there is no way your troopers are going to reciprocate 100%, you are really looking at one skillshard per 3 or 4 days.

3.5 days x 4 shards = 2 weeks. The question is whether $50 is worth avoiding two weeks of work or worth doubling your output if you continue to work. That is answered by whether is worth it to you.

I don't consider it a rip off when factoring in all of the time and energy necessary to harvest of these badges, but it still may not be worth it. It really depends on your budget and your personal time.

I get what you're saying V but I only have 4 Troopers. Kinda tough to harvest when no one responds to requests... J/S...

Post in the troopers thread/area. You'll get requests unless you have a really bad champion. Unless you have a rare 5*, it's probably best to keep an Eddie as champion.

I have invested $ in this game, but wouldn't even consider this deal. That said, as others have said you have to decide the value. For me, it's simply not in this package.
