Hello Alex2199,

We recently announced the Prizes Galore update will arrive on July 2 and it will improve the rewards system, but there also changes related to Aleph drops. As MSE_Ojuel stated on another thread, "there will be other ways, new ways, in which you'll be able to get Aleph besides meleeing foes".

We hope you like these new changes, thank you for your suggestions!

Thank you so much Karen for the update! Love you and everything you do <3

I am not a fan of PvP. I enjoy playing supportive co-op games were you get can just jump into a game and play with friends. However I do enjoy a little PvP every now and again, it makes the game more intense and interesting.

But every sense the new adventure mode has been added every. single. mission. has an antagonist and to me it ruins the game especially with them changing the survive time. I shouldn't have to gamble my fun away forcing me to pick characters that would work best on that mission of having a weapon just to counter someone else that MAY have a weaker weapon then me. For example I feel forced to bring Mikah equipped with Barrier just to have a chance to win the mission "A Fistful of Sand" just so a Harec, Shae, or whoever cant just kill the protector.

I don't think having antagonist optional would solve the problem because then I feel like no one would be able to play antagonist sense the queue time is already insanely long (no joke waited a whole day just for one mission). I think having it to where you can only play like 5 to 10 antagonist matches a day would probably be better change however I doubt MSE will take this into account sense they seem very focused on antag play right now.

… We're evolving the system into something more accessible yet featuring a wider range of playable possibilities.

More accessible!?? I would say if you compare the aleph-drop-mechanic then and now, I would say it was waaaay more accessible then, as it is now!

You can not make it more accessible if the player already obtained the aleph automatically, the only thing you could have done better is just dropping the excess.

i don't really care, didn't know the previous gameplay so i'm used to this one (even if i don't really see how it is so interesting to force us to pick up aleph, but well...)
nevertheless, he's still making a point here :

What if we also end up hating these new ways of obtaining aleph, you'll be just breaking the game even more.

it seems players liked the previous gameplay regarding aleph, so why will you take risk to add new things to modify smthg they don't like whereas you can just put the old loved one ?
(except because you want to keep going with your agenda and your vision of the game)

Besides we having our own vision of the game, please take into account we gather feedback from many online communities besides this forum. We also take into account comments and feedback recieved via Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, YouTube videos, live streams, e-mail & Discord.
That said, besides player feedback, we also analyze matches & user retention data.
And finally, besides player feedback and match data gathering, we also do playtesting sessions with newcomer players, in order to see which mechanics are more easily understood by gamers who still didn't get to learn the quirks of the playable systems in the game.

Taking into account all of these inputs, we decided we would experiment a little more with the new Aleph & Ammo drops system. We're evolving the system into something more accessible yet featuring a wider range of playable possibilities.
