26 (closer to 27) hours for 10 tonnes of the top armour? That's a little bit ridiculous.
in short,NO it is not.
the times are there because if you want that big bad armor,there will be a cost,Energon means little to the higher members in factions,but the time is the true un-dividing factor we all must follow. if you want to crack the armors for the intel on which is better ,it is going to cost you,if you want that next better one,it is going to cost you,if you want to reset,it is going to cost you. doing all at the same time may/does suck,that is why i only did 7 to start with,but that new armor will be well worth it, you have my word on that.
Yes yes yes i'm not some stupid git who just flew in on a passing fart. I'm well aware that if you want the best you have to invest time and money for it.
But I still see no reason for the best armours to take close to, or more than a day to install (other than what was previously stated)
I really can't see why installation times across ALL armours can't be reduced a little.
i never meant to question you or anyones intelligence with my statement,if i did so in your eyes i am sorry.
in truth, how many times does a average LVL9 or higher reset/add armor in a month? or even better when was the last time you reset Gore,Burn?
i bet it is rare in both accounts.
the times may be high,but odds are if you are at those higher lvls/with the high times /you do not reset or add new armor for a very long time unless you want a new alt, or try a different alt class for a time. being one of the baddest on the block in any class you want,will cost you some time to change into it now,and odds are for most it will be a good while before they reset/add armor again,so 27 hours is a small price when you factor in how many times they will add the new armor,and the last time they did so.
each lvl of armor is worth its time ,and the higher the lvl the longer you will have it,so the higher the time. Rank is not a worthless stat now at any lvl you have it in. each rank stat will cost time for getting the little badder upgrade than before.
everyone, just wait and see how they work out,the install time is nothing when you think of the the time you will have the said armor,before you change it out again,not counting self resets to a different alt class/mode.
I can see the time as being a shocker to those with the higher times. but we just started this,and the higher the rank the longer you have the armor,doing all at one time may suck and seem like forever, but after this shock is over and you see the difference they have over each other they are well worth the wait.
