Tonic system killed this episode
This episode Revenant has been very short and repetitive so far, but imo what makes it so frustrating and annoying is the tonics system. Aside from a few boosts here and there, it has no benefit what so ever.

2 RepliesFOR THE LOVE OF THE TRAVELER, PLEASE FIX THE TONIC BREWING GUIDE LOCK OUT. My main character (warlock) is stuck on this mission. My titan and hunter had no issues and have basically skipped this entirely. I walk over to the ingredient wall to "Gather Ingredients" and nothing happens. I'm stuck at 1 of 4 and can't craft tonics at all on my warlock.

The fact that they will be relying on 3 repeatable arenas is what killed this season

Edited by longevity: 11/22/2024 3:53:56 PMagree it is complete garbage they added tonics solely to increase metrics by having a timed buff similar to call of duty where you don't want to waste it, but then they doubled down and made the tonics insanely grindy. The tonics lack almost any kind of quality of life design imaginable. they could tell during testing that tons of people would skip the stupid tonic grind so they tied it into core power on the artifact and they got rid of patterns - and possibly did some kind of bad faith reduction on drop rates in general these suits are not on the players' side, we are just a consumer blob to be manipulated

1 ReplyTonics are terrible and a poor substitute for crafting or at the very least target farming. I’m convinced at this point that trying to target farm is a waste of time and resources. Popped a Chroma Rush tonic. After over 70 minutes of continuous gameplay I walked away with 2 Chroma Rush, 1 Ignition Code, and 5 Sojourners…if I wanted anything other than the AR then I would have used a blue vintage tonic. Just bring back crafting. Fighting layers of RNG just for a chance of a weapon you want is exhausting and driving away far more players than crafting did. This whole season has just been a mess of disrespecting players time

1 ReplyYep. Back to grinding things that aren’t weapons just for a chance at getting weapons. Why they thought this was a suitable replacement for crafting is beyond me. This should have just been like regular attunement from the original onslaught. After the story we do the fieldwork which lets us pick a weapon to attune, and it stays attuned. I want to grind weapons, not materials. I want more agency in my drops again. This is just not fun. I play more when I can get what I want in a reasonable amount of time….and then use it. Using things I want is fun. Chasing them with no visible progress towards them is not.

17 RepliesFirst off the terrible loot is killing this episode Secondly tonics are not useless, the artifact boosts are very nice and so is free loot anywhere in the system Congrats on being double wrong, wouldn’t expect anything less from you.
-
I was only able to make tonics the first day until my quest went to postmaster and ever since then I can’t use them at all
-
Imo the idea of potion and or food buffs is very common in MMO genre. The thing that I dislike about the tonic system is it only equates to this episode. It will be useless next episode and probably deleted from game by frontiers release. If it stays and changes dynamically with each iteration then it will be good. Highly unlikely since every seasonal content prior pertaining to previous seasons were abolished after every expansion.

What's the point of tonic without Gin? What's the point of mixing potions when you get the ingredients for doing lame stuff nobody wanted to do since 2 days after Beyond Lights was released. Why not creating some sort of plants as they literally did in the echo episode and give those old boring maps a meaning by randomly placing the ingredients all over the system? At least it would make us look and explore and maybe but some random weapon crates somewhere on the map. No instead we are forced to do patrols.. well forced if you keep playing that is.
-
Yep, I walked away
-
Its definitely a rather boring season, especially without weekly stories. I have a lot less incentive to chase guns that aren't craftable and more likely to destroy new guns. I don't craft tonics to use them, I craft them to complete out the categories. I'm mostly just biding time for Iron Banner, gotta get my PVE Stasis Rocket-pistol.
-
It is glitched on my warlock.. perpetual activate potions. Sucks
-
Agreed.
-
Yep. It stinks.
-
Tonics are lame. I don't even bother with the system.
-
It should have been freer. I feel like I'm still having to pay too much and do too much to use it.
-
yes getting more loot killed the episode
-
3 RepliesI simply don’t like the crafting process. 4 steps for every craft, with some occasional additional time wasted when our character transforms into a chicken or whatever.
-
tonics for ability is a huge W tonics for loot is ok
-
2 RepliesThank you. Compare this current garbage season to the previous season. The previous season had story, mystery, discovery, collectibles, craftable weapons, and so on. It was such a pleasure to play, discover, collect. This season is pure garbage. Not only that, but it is full of bugs.

2 RepliesEdited by Ogma: Destroyer of Worlds: 11/20/2024 10:38:51 PMMe: *uses my stupid rare tomb flakes on garbage tonics so I can unlock weapon specific tonics *sees a blue tonic unlock, checks it out Chroma rush(Tomb of Elders) *closes game Who thought we needed separate tonics for the same weapon? Who thought we should have to use new materials to unlock tonics for the same act 1 weapons we already unlocked? Who thought we should even have a chance of unlocking these same weapon tonics before unlocking the new weapon tonics? This is such an egregiously obvious attempt to waste our time with tediously uninspired and insulting grind that shows a complete lack of respect for players.

Then don’t make tonics it’s that simple!

Edited by taskmaster51: 11/21/2024 12:10:42 AMYeah. This season sucks...tonics are horrible and I don't hink I like the new prison of elders either. The choil was so much better. Onslaught even stinks since it's not worth the loot
