Why do you lose half of your EGO Shards once Season 1 ends?

[Nyxtus]

I'm struggling to see any purpose to this. If you go under the probability and scope out the fine text, it states that EGO Shards decay by half once Season 1 is over. If you're 380/400 shards for a character, It decays to half wasting all that time and effort. I don't see a purpose to this in any sense.

Once season 2 comes out, why would you want to cut EGO Shards for Season 1 in half? It's quite literally just taking effort and time away from the player and punishing them for not reaching their goal in time. Most of the systems in the game have been really fair and promising, but this is such a baffingly bad decision that I'm left wondering -why- they even decided to implement it in the first place?

With the weekly limit of 5 Mirror Dungeon runs, it will take almost the entirety of the Season 1 runtime to get a specific character, not counting for gacha luck (With some characters like Hong only having a single 00 Identity, making it harder to get shards for him for his TingTang 000 Identity).

I love ProjectMoon and despite the lack of content so far I love this game, but I'm really scratching my head at how horrible this idea and implementation are and I feel like more people don't know about it because it's written in the fine print on the probability window for the game.

I've sent an angry email to Project Moon about this. I doubt they'll reply, but whatever. Gotta give it a shot.

And for those ready to ridicule me: I have spent money on the Limbus Pass because I thought it would be a good investment with the game going forward. That was before the update. So there's your "You're getting this game for free!" argument shut down.

For those who still think what Project Moon is doing is okay, let me point to the case of Genshin Impact. In that game, you use Primogems for just about everything, including acquiring resources to get new characters which is the meat of every gacha game. They also run battle passes on set periods to kind of spark engagement by offering rewards which also include Primos, as the cool kids call them. Yet never once did they FORCE you to do anything with your Primos before the next battle pass period under the penalty of halving it and FORCEFULLY converting it into other in-game resources.

I capslocked "force" not to just sound cool; I capslocked them to make a point. This is a video game. It's supposed to be your hobby, and your highest goal is supposed to be enjoyment. When a video game, especially a gacha game, is forcing you to engage with it under threat of taking away your enjoyment, it stops being a hobby and starts becoming a job. And if they insist on keeping their new policy, then this is one job I don't intend on keeping.

Did you just compared Egoshard to Primogem, a resource to a premium currency? Instead of Lunacy to Primogem, premium to premium currency? And from a game being stingy at that?

That’s lying at best

The decay is likely because it's possible to infinitely farm MD right now, after you reach season level 60.

Every run gives you 0.7 of a level. For simplicity's sake we'll say 10 runs gives you 7 levels, which is 21 choice boxes. So 2.1 choice boxes per MD.

You get a free MD every day and you regenerate stamina fast enough, plus stamina boxes, and maybe even using a bit of premium to recharge once or twice. Plus you will refill your stamina every 3 or 4 MD from leveling up. So for all intents and purposes you can infinitely farm MD. The only limit is time. MD can take anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes depending on your setup. So you could be making ~5 choice boxes every hour. More if you go ham and fast.

We'll say you only do this for 5 hours a day if you're really dedicated. So 25 choice boxes a day, which is average ~50 egoshards of your choice. You can buy a new ID or EGO every 8 days.

This isn't that stingy for a mobile game. Actually very generous. The decay though is still very scummy.

This isn't even counting the free level every day from doing your tasks (3 choice boxes), everything you earned before level 60, and anything else they hand out (railway for instance). Plus, not every ID and EGO from season 1 is good. There are a few 3 star IDs that are worse than 2 star IDs, so you don't need to buy them.

i've accumulated around 700 yellow crates from the battle pass / grinding mirror dungeon a bit every day / event drops. Even without grinding that or the paid battle pass, i would still have around 400 in counting, because we still have more events + weeklies we can get crates from.

Now you tell me, is it better to wait more towards the end of the season where i would have the "380" shards, and waist only 20 crates at most on them, and use the rest on other characters?

Or spend my 300 of my crates instantly to reach 400 shards to buy N-corp faust, where i
don't only reset my ego shard count to 0 but i also face the potential of pulling her anyways later in the season and pretty much wasting all of those crates?

Which i Recommend, I'm glad I didn't blow my load for instant gratification, I wanted n-corp Faust and didn't pull her but I saved my crates even tho i had plenty to buy her, and managed to pull her on outis's banner, saving me a lot of crates.

Also even if you have 380 shards at the end of the season, and it gets halved into 190, that is 190 more shards to work with at the start of season 2 over having 0 in season 1. So if you had everything from that character, with that many shards left over. You will have an even easier time in season 2. Plus, if you didn't have enough and were a few short, then wasting all those crates on characters that you probably got a dupe from later are really biting you in the but now, am i wrong?

The Game has shown generous amounts of resources, and it's up to you weather you miss-spend them or not at this point.

[Mastema]

Yeah it's pretty ♥♥♥♥, i believe they just want you to be more mindful with your spendings by hoarding pull tickets/lunacy seeing how much they're pumping it out to people and sparking stuff that you want in current season or so before the inevitable comes in near future.

[Tomonaga]

Its pretty simple honestly, this game has higher rates than all other gacha out there, is also more generous when it comes to giving guarantees apparently (at least so far if the first RR gave us a 3* guaranteed for season 1 unit then this might even be a monthly reward which by far surpasses paimon's bargains monthly shop since genshin seems to be the golden comparation)

You can also quite literally grind spark currency, other gacha games you dry the sources of pull currency then you are done, even if they have lots of content until you reach that point like genshin its always the same and they only offer x amount of currency drip by weekly/monthly/daily content, Limbus allows you to farm shards only capped by energy (Which is a non-issue imo) and time so yeah, they convert half so you can't just hoard boxes for the entire season and then instantly craft everything on s2.

Tell us you've never played another gacha game without telling us you've never played another gacha game.

Nice assumption that I don't.

[Snecchi]

Not sure why people expect to be handed everything, the system is working as intended if you do a bit of farming. I've crafted several identities and still have plenty of nominable boxes. Clearing Railway just gave 3 tenpulls and a 3* season 1 guaranteed tenpull. Yeah it sucks not getting the banner character you want... but you can literally just craft it, I've had to do it for 000 Outis etc.

how about you post your railway clear first for me to atleast care A LITTLE about your not-so-well-thought-through takes?

He actually bites the bait lmao. Mr. 111 turns, why are you so easy? Also, MD is not limited to 5 each week.

Why you do even think the MD is limited to 5 each week? Let's engage with your stupid post, there is plenty other stuff you clearly have no idea how it works. Also, check their twitter, there is a lot of explanation posted about the shards and next season. I fail to see why you keep up this post or won't change stuff up.

But first off, why do you think MD is limited to 5 per week?

[Nyxtus]

I really hate talking with people who think they're more intelligent than they are.

"Why you do even think the MD is limited to 5 each week?"

Never said it was. The bonuses for MD completion have raised since the 5X --> 3X update. Shard decaying is better, but still not a great solution for every single reason I detailed on HOW you get duplicate shards from sources outside of Mirror Dungeon, aka dupe ID pulls. You can go re-read that section if you like and come back.

"Also, check their twitter, there is a lot of explanation posted about the shards and next season."

I still think decaying is bad. However, my comment about it not being explained except in subtext on the probability tab of the banner was correct as of a month ago. When this thread was made. A month ago.

You also realize It's 3X a week for the bonus and not 5X anymore right?

"With the weekly limit of 5 Mirror Dungeon runs, it will take almost the entirety of the Season 1 runtime to get a specific character"

This is your statement in your post, though?

Yes. A month ago. As in, when that was how it was. Because a month ago it worked differently.
