Can we finally fix Void Reactors?

[Teal V2]

I'm getting tired of burning all my shards because I help my friends or random people around the world, really.

You, Nexon, told us you changed it. What about lying less about problems and fixing more instead?
It is getting tiresome.

The reverse actually happened.
In the beginning, you did not have to pay void shards if you did not activate the terminal.
Do not know in which particular patch they changed that.
However, now even attacking an enemy without activating the terminal deducts void shards.

I wonder what happens if you do not have any void shards and you decide to still participate in a Void Fusion Reactor mission.
Have not really tried myself, surely you are not going to get in a void shard debt?

Prior was a exploit so it was fixed. Now the moment you hit someones summoned boss, it deducts shards if you have any to allow you to open the reactor upon death.

If you do not have shards, you can still help kill but wont be able to use the reactor at the end.

They just need to reduce cost for those fights. It's the worst part of grinding for parts. And up the Non-attribute shard missions. Or just remove them. At the moment they really have no value.

Why is it so hard to take the shards when you interact with the reconstruction device, really?

There is literally an object you can interact with. It is even in the current system that you can't interact with it if you do not have enough shards.

If they are so nervous about the loot bosses drop when defeated, then just implement this loot into the device. You can have your random loot when you interact with it, your shards get taken, everyone is happy.

Now the thing is the same as other people said back then.
You are punished because you try to help to others.

This is getting extremely frustrating.

From the 1.0.5 patch notes

# Director's Comment
(...)
Many players are currently farming materials without spending the Fragments at the Fusion Reactor, so we're considering removing the Fragments from the Fusion Reactor startup altogether. This would make the Fragments necessary only when the Reconstructing Device is used at the Fusion Reactor.
(...)
We aim to implement the improvements I talked about today during Seasons 1 and 2.

TLDR: Void fusion reactors will be changed to only consume void fragments on interacting with the reconstruction device.
This change will come with season 1 or 2 (probably 1)

You get a system message saying you don't meet the requirements, or something like that. You also can't open/reshape/whatever a corresponding amorphous material if you have one.

The good old times when waiting in chat for someone call call out for help and you get to open yours for free!

Back then it was also easier to jump on Outpost to Outpost farming Amorphous because it has a 5 minute timer and the jumps reset the Outpost. Pick 3 in the area jump, run, clear repeat the cycle while "leeching" with shards.

Yeah, it was fixed like two weeks ago, people abused it to free farm it, you could * abandon* and not to pay any, and everyone around could get the rewards if they were shard-less.

I thought this only applies to one reactor where players need to go out of sight and then abandon and come back. I didn't know of this :)
