Why not make melk the "aquila guy"?

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide General Discussion
1

another pondering while sitting on my throne :toilet: :grin:

for how long now has melk been obsolete?

sure the odd newcomer might find an item once a blue moon, but even for low level characters isnt it easier to binch-buy brunts and give it to hadron to salvage since the crafting revamp was a thing?

then again iā€™d like weekly carrots on my stick, just with a bit more ā€œtangibleā€ reward.

so why not switch kill 1000 ranged/melee etc for 530 melk bucks to each of the 5 pick-able at one time, at 100 aquilas and increase the requirements?

say 10000 kills a week is doable from malice onward, getting my 1000 melee in about 3-4 auric maelstroms :man_shrugging:

same with boss kills or plasteel/diamantineā€¦

Sounds interesting, but thereā€™s a question, what about the resources of people who have gotten thousands of melk awards and theyā€™re just lying around, will they be converted? No.
100 Aquilas per mission is too much. 100 aql for all weekly tasks - ok. But again the question of conversion, I personally will be offended if not exchanged, but on the other hand it is wrong to get people with tens of thousands of akvil for nothing.
For the ā€œrichā€ you can introduce something exchange point, in a week you can exchange no more than X currency Melk to Aquilas.
But yes, Melk is long outdated, itā€™s time to change it and not only quests, but also rewards.

What would Harlowette do then? just be snarky in missions =(
Maybe take traitor servitorā€™s job across the way at least as face of vendor.

iā€™d suggest we ā€œsacrificeā€ our melk bucks (cant do anything reasonable with em right now anyways, so i cant ā€œloseā€ something worthless) as to not push our luck, ruin the economy from the getgo.

got some 120k i guessā€¦ think iā€™ve read 250k is the max?

but yeah, for the ā€œgreater causeā€ and keep the fs suits from sweating, iā€™d pretend there never were melk bucks in the first place :face_in_clouds:

does she ā€œdoā€ anything right now ? :sweat_smile:

well, itā€™s just a template really to add some meat to the idea. the amount isnt up to ā€œusā€ anyways :grin:

A pretty good idea actually Melk is useless. Could be fun to found a role for him. Would like a weapon customiser with light silencer and moreā€¦

6

Would like to add points and customise my weapons

7

iā€™d add that to a full fledged brunts booth that actually has brunt in it :squinting_face_with_tongue:

8

I like the idea of earnable aquilas, regardless of where they put em :slight_smile:

The problem is I think this game can still be the best 40K game ever. I donā€™t know if there is a problem in the financial strategy. And maybe not enough devs working one. I can totally imagine a 10 bucks sub for every monthes and have access to all cosmetics and a stable devs team on for all dlc and become a true game service

10

New ennemies factions new weapons new balance etcā€¦

11

Decided to even go in to see how much melk, and let me tell you this, 250 is not the max. But in general itā€™s stupid for a game of this genre to put a limit on resources, especially given the kraft system, which devalued the currency and it just spend nowhere, and my gold still does not increase above 25, itā€™s a shame

12

Since the subscription per monthes donā€™t exist anymore the situation is really bad especially about free to play sorry nothing is free. I really prefer to pay 10 bucks every monthes and have some stuff working. Nobody like to work with an unstable revenue.

13

this will never happen, realistically.

14

So we continue with a pay wall with a overpriced stuff

15

When this is free you are the product

16

I used dockets to give myself sense of progression. Well more like hoarding.

Now the plasteel ticking up is replacement.

Not complaining as I wouldnā€™t want crafting to be reverted to spending excessive amounts and time sink again.

But I always thought it nice to share somehow with others. i.e. run around mourning star and throw plasteel at random players.

Just like my 500 aquilas from event. No intention to use it, if there was a way to just give away..

Because they made the itemization irrelevant when they ā€˜unlockedā€™ everything (and when they did the DS and Ogryn reworks, see the trend?)

18

Damn what a pretty rich guy. You pretty right to be honest I have spend so many RL money thatā€™s I donā€™t care anymore with a 700 + hours in I think this is still a pretty investment. The game still need to be hard and hope this will not change. Especially about the sad and weak French people.

I would pay aquilas to have her thrown out of the air lock.

20

Throw everyone except Morrow and tech priests out the airlock
