Runes for Ironite

[kkkreg5]

Now able to "buy" runes for ironite! Awesome?

[Heavy1974]

No, not awesome. Over 600 Ironite ? way too much.

Actually a bit senseless, IMO.

The devs, armed with the right intentions (Over-)fixed the evo rune situation making the need for those relatively pointless ATM. As for the XP runes, I fully trust the intentions of the devs on this one given their communication, but baaad timing with the broken XP situation. If I didn't know any better (And I do) I would think they were exploiting their own bug to take advantage of their players who have been starved out of runes.

It has also been pointed out how this is a ripoff concerning ironite. I tend to agree. This should have (also) been offered via trooper badges. Rare souls used to drop with frequency. This is no more. Consequently, people no longer have these 99 stacks of (Mostly useless) rare souls for promos. We knew the BNW promo was following the Halloween promo, and I for one could only summon 6 rare souls and 2 stacks of regular souls in the month I had to prepare since blowing everything on the Halloween promo. X-mas is 30 days away and I presently have 2 rare souls, 28 regulars, and 7 (Yes, 7) ironite. No way in hell would I waste resources on runes when I have to start saving for the next promo. If they were selling via trooper badges, maybe. Ironite? No way.

Definitely not the answer to getting runes in this game I hope it's just a stop gap for those "desperate to progress and not wait for a sensible solution"

I think that a new opportunity is always good, but the cost of 650 ironites is too much, so buying runes with ironite is good, but too expensive.
The final decision for me is NO, and the only reason is the cost.

650 Ironite is way too much, even for 99 5* runes (wich could max 2-3 talismans?). I'm not against supporting the game, I spent $$$ as well, but some prices are a bit steep for us 3rd world :(

[kkkreg5]

I dropped 1300 ironite for 1 BNW 3* char which wasn't even an Edd. I am starved for runes and can't progress. With that and Evo bundle (450) I was able to evolve my champ to a 5* and apply 5* runes. For me, made more sense. Can't make progress in Underworld Hard and Madness without a 5*.

Agree its a bit steep and dont think Ill every use it apart from the occasional exception (maybe if I pull a lucky CR Eddie or AG), but I guess its OK if you offset it against the cost of grinding. I mean people wanted a means to upgrade talismans faster - They've got it!

As it stands you get enough runes to upgrade a talisman at about a rate of 1 per day, averaged across all the colours. More if you use more sands. I personally dont feel like that is a bad level. If you want to be able to immediately upgrade an entire chars talisman set, all one colour - well you can use ironite, so at least there is a new solution.

I reckon the Devs should be thanks for at least creating another option!

[Esquatcho]

Just noticed: 99 5* upgrade shards of one colour. That does, imo, show much better value for the ironite... Still a bit steep. You can grind that manys worth in about a month anyway. Still, 600 ironite to save a month?

[Reeb99]

It was an option people asked for, so I'm ok with it. They've said multiple times that the Brave New World dungeon will be the long term solution to getting XP runes. Seriously, there's nothing to complain about here. They need to make money to keep the game afloat, so let them make money. You don't have to buy them if you don't want to.

Agreed. The community has been asking for a way to purchase runes for awhile now. Whether it's a worthwhile option is based on your individual needs, but I can definitely see it helping some people.

[Sidney]

Why does this feel like "Contaminate the water supply" and the solution is to buy bottled water?

[R1ck]

Totally agree, devs broke xp ruins drop just to sell them to us

[FlyingV]

I could be wrong, but I don't think it was intentionally done that way, based on the devs' communications with us here. If it was discovered otherwise, I am quite certain that a significant number of supporting players would turn their back on the game on mere principle.

I tend to think that this was a VERY poorly conceived plan based on timing, the likes of such boneheaded planning we have seen in the past. Had it coincided with the BNW release, it would have been perfect...even if it coincided with an official announcement that BNW was 1-2 weeks away, it would have been acceptable. It just looks very, very bad to have this released in the midst of a rune drought where the devs have discussed overlooking in favor of moving forward with BNW. Even if it is what many requested, the timing (while helpful to those interested) is plain awful considering the circumstances.

[Esquatcho]

Also - Is it just me, or have upgrade rune drops improved? Just after I did a study, I seem to be getting a lot more 4* XP runes...
