Dear DE, The unequal (~x3.2) rank up rewards for for Loid turned my satisfaction sour and left me feeling stupid, as soon as I realised that picking the parts set me back a day's farming.

Dear DE,

This is intended to honest constructive feedback so, I just want to tell you that my satisfaction with ranking up was pretty much immediately soured when I realised that the reward I picked meant I had effectively wasted a day's worth of standing.

I thought that rank up rewards were meant to be balanced, but the mech/mech-gun parts cost so little compared to the others, 

You could buy 3 and have standing left over.

Seeing as it's pretty much the exact same UI, I don't see any benefit it hiding prices from player when they claim a reward, especially in this case, where some of the rewards are for items that can't even be built and claimed until you've ranked up again; paring such low value items with such high values ones just seems like a recipe for upsetting players.

 

Honestly, the realisation that I'd wasted so much standing, by picking the most appealing item, immediately took away all satisfaction I had from ranking up and made me feel like I'd acted stupidly, even though there was no available information for me to make a better decision, without leaving the game and looking for fan content.

 

If the standing rewards are to remain so drastically unbalanced in value, I really think it would benefit the game to not change the UI to hide the value on that single screen; that way you can easily avoid provoking this response from other players.

 

Thank you for your ongoing efforts to improve this game.

You haven't said what rank you were going to, what you picked, what the cost was, or what the better choice was. These are all pretty essential for "honest constructive feedback".

• I agree that the standing costs should on there. I don't know why they were never added.

Gonna second that criticism. Why can't you see the offering's prices so we can make informed decisions about what to choose. Every time ppl end in buying a 2k item without realizing there was a 10k item available.

And why yes, you can technically check the wiki to see the prices, wiki page with all the vendor prices isn't usually out for a while after a new update drops.

So yeah, either show us the prices, or make all tribute items have the same value.

They should add price to the item for sure.

But do you know you don't have to take the reward on the spot? you can hit cancel and next time you click standing the reward screen will show up again.

In my case it was Rank 3, so 8k vs 25k, though for Rank 2 it would have been 4-5K vs 10K.

Cool, thank for the info, I wouldn't have guess that.
