So went from 4 hr timers to 2 hr timers less selection and now almost all selection measily gold and ore???? Not even worth doing away missions anymore if this was intended

Paying gold to get more gold.. a pure gold mission is completely ridiculous!
There are not enough choices now.
Deliberately watering down the away missions with garbage filler missions is an incredibly lame move.
Away missions were perfect, they didn't need to be touched.
It's only been a week, are we seriously killing the game already and trying to make people quit?
You can't just make big changes and not say anything, pretending like everything is normal, it won't earn you any respect from your customers.
With no announcement should we assume this is a bug and it will be put back to normal soon?
Just wait till you get 2 out of your 4 missions as pure gold like Mustang. What a joke. You can do 2x 15 min missions and the. Have nothing to do for 2hrs waiting for more.
4 is not enough to variety.
Pure gold missions should not exist.
My apologies on not having the announcement for these go up before the changes went live. There is more information on why some of these changes occurred in this thread here: http://forums.transformersforgedtofight.com/discussion/526/announcing-changes-to-away-missions
The change from Mission Crystal Shards to straight ORE-13 was a simple quality of life change. Since we removed the Mission Crystals from Missions, many players did not know what the shards were for, so we simply replaced them with the content of the crystals.
We also chose to add some gold missions to compliment the Arena Crystals. This way, you can see the Gold that you're going to receive, instead of taking a gamble on the Crystals.
It's obvious that you guys would like to see improvements to these changes, and I'll be letting the team know your feedback right away.
We don't really want improvement we just want it to be how it was before
The mission crystals also occasionally gave energon, and I somehow doubt I'll be seeing energon rewards for away missions.
This is the exact opposite of QOL change.
My constructive points remain.
-- No path to energon from away missions now
-- Too little missions means finishing all 4 very easily, not to mention far less variety
-- "scaling" sounds arbitrary and like less rewards
-- The only change that could be possibly argued as a QoL improvement is that newer players see easier missions their bots can handle
Miike I was being sincere when I suggested transparency and honesty when decisions are based on money / rewards tuning / "balance". We all know that you guys are in this to make money and I think most people don't have a problem with that. If I'm off base here and all of the changes here were truly intended to provide QoL improvements, then maybe they just missed the mark.
As for arena crystals... They were awesome. Some of us can't grind arena the way others can... We have careers and kids. This gave us an option to get gold and energon away from arena, and not have the game take up so much of our lives.
As many above have said, this is the exact opposite of QOL improvement. It is obvious this was a prelude to new real money spending options in store due to scaling back in game currency sources.
Change them back, adjust energon drop rates from crystals if you absolutely must, but put the away mission payouts back the way they were, please.
Bring mission shards back because they offered superior range of rewards and an ability to stockpile them.
Gotta agree with this, I can't even pay IRL to increase my inventory, so there's isn't even any profit in it.
I really have a tough time believing people didn't know what the crystal shards were for. I'm calling balderdash on that one.
And even if that was the case, now you have ore excess ore just sitting there waiting to expire if your current inventory is full of class specific ore.... and you can't even swap them out?
no good.
Then they change the rewards which are now redundant as the ore gets stashed and gold for gold rewards are useless.
And plus now the same bot gives me the prediction of the mission success to be meduim when the same bot showed guaranteed before the change.
And people not knowing about the use of mission shards cmon now
Atleast a compensation must have been given out.
