Away Missions Update Live!

Commanders!
Teletraan has uploaded optimized routes allowing us to send teams on Away Missions at the cost of less Gold, and for easier access to Gold and ORE-13, with a rare chance at Bot Chips and Bot Crystal Shards!
Starting tomorrow, you’ll start to notice new Away Missions available to send your Bots on!
Before we get into what you’ll be seeing, let’s talk about why we’re making these changes. We’re working towards creating more clearly defined reward identities for different Game Modes.
We intend for Away Missions to be a place for Commanders to steadily earn Gold and ORE-13, and want it to be more accessible to more of our Commanders.
We’re doing this by reducing the length of time these Away Missions take, and the cost of running them, but also by putting a bigger portion of the total rewards in the Base Rewards, with a slightly reduced focus on the Success Rewards.
Keep your eyes on the Away Mission list Commanders, because you’ll quickly find the new Ore Crystals as a reward!
Ore-13 Crystals scale from Tier 1 to Tier 3 based on your progression as a Commander, and contain rewards such as Ore and Gold, with rare chances at Basic, Class and Alpha Sparks. The higher the Tier, the rarer the Sparks. Tier 3 Ore Crystals even contain very rare chances at 1000x T4 Basic, Class, and T3 Alpha Spark Essence!
You’ll see these Away Missions live in game around 10am PT July 25 , Commanders, but may need to wait until your Away Missions refresh.

I would assume these will be removed, in order to make players grind arenas more for them
Something is better than nothing 😉
T4 class essence!?!
Hard to say. Just says class lol
Sounds like they got phased out. Find out tomorrow unless @Kabam Vydious wants to confirm?
agree. we do away missions for gold and ENERGON not ore. we don't need more ore. I don't think anyone asked for Ore when asking for the away mission to be updated. I get you guys have to make the game something of a "grind" but this is getting out of hand. We ask for something, you give half of what we asked but take something else in return.
We can confirm that they were phased out, yes. I understand looking at replies that some aren't happy with that. I'll be sure to pass along that feedback.
That's just wrong... the new crystals better be worth it then
How could they not think this was a bad idea to begin with? No one likes or does arena.
Will there be an update to arena milestone rewards specifically arena crystals to balance this removal?
seems like they have to bring back arena chips if that’s the case, like how it use to be. Or they could increase the number of arena crystals you get. I’m not confident they thought this through.
Cant have your cake and eat it too. Honestly it makes since, considering energon is a currency bought with real money and ftp players hord it like noones business through those crystals.
With this though they need to adjust am items to make them easier to obtain or balance then with bot health etc.
But to be fair, you can earn units in the other game via arena; I mean you get a lot depending on how much arena you grind. But, this game is very different arena. So away mission is the best way to get arena crystals. You only get 16 with arena milestone. Can’t blame people for hoarding.
Could be a straight removal too without increasing anywhere else. Depends if Kabam decided the ability to earn energon was unbalanced.
I am wondering if the glories team will consider removing the shuttle as well? It’s taking too much space.
so, the real point here is: we need the full picture from Kabam. We just know half the story.
As of now, we only know that one reward-item in the game just changed and that it will create an important imbalance in today's gameplay (no arena crystals= no free energon= real money demand for the player).
I hope we get further info to understand the real benefit, for the player, behind this change.
Will more arena crystals be given out for arena then to encourage people to play more arena?
Makes sense. I think they are gone too based on the post.
but then, arenas should be also modified. Current grinding-scheme can be improved for sure, right?
