Fozzie, I don't know you yet, but my first impression is excellent ^.^ Keep up the good work. Thank you for not being that dev we the players have to say, "l2p tech is broken" to :)
I also approve of your presentation style %10000. Welcome. |

you basically use 100 Cobalt and 5 Platinum to get just 10 Platinum Technite per reaction cycle (= POS Cycle = 1 hour, i take it).
At current values, you would be loosing money not only on the pure reaction, but also on the fuel needed for that reactor/refineries bzw refining taxes etc.
To break even, the Tech Price (and with that the Platinum Technite price) would have to at least rise by 500% to make it worthwile to do this alchemy reaction.. This surely isnt a way to force prices down, if thats at all necessary. From the blog: Quote:You will notice that we are starting these reactions at the same conversion rate as the original alchemy instead of the conversion rate of current boosted alchemy. These ratios can and likely will change over subsequent releases as we adjust the system. We have a lot of data about what happens when you release 20/1 alchemy, so we started there.

I look forward to more sensible ideas from this new guy. |

Yes not like a group of players took the time to grind sov, place towers, keep up the logistics of said towers, and defended them.
That stuff is exclusive to an alliance. I'm hoping these other steps are the precursors to planetary ring mining or something similar so that smaller groups can have some crumbs from the table. |
