The planning for the reward system is to give players rewards for completing task forces, story arcs, trials, and defeating giant monsters. On completing various tasks you'll see "Merit Awarded". This will be a special piece of salvage that you can spend to buy random rolls (like you could from Task Forces in the past), and also purchase specific enhancements. You can go and buy a Numina's Convalescence, +recovery +regeneration enhancement, if you want to. Or you can do things in the same way we did things in the past, to get random rolls. All of those Task Forces give a different number of merits. Story Arcs give significantly less for every five minutes, and Trials give more. That's enough for almost three random rolls, as opposed to only one. Synapse gives out 45 merits, so that's two random rewards. Then shorter tasks are going to give less. Statesman and Lord Recluse TFs give out 20 to 30. They are shorter, and based on our metrics they should fall under the 'less than 25' category. That said, since they're so difficult we've given out an added reward on top of that. |
