WST Adjustment

[Lockpick]

My suggestion is to update the WSTs to have content that allows all levels to participate each week.  Currently the WSTs are:

 

• Ms. Liberty TF (Ms. Liberty, Level 45-50)
• Future of Freedom (Lord Recluse, Level 45-50)
• Abandoned Sewer Trial (Mairenn MacGregor, Level 38-50)

 

I am playing a lvl 29 Scrapper, so cannot participate.  My suggestion would be to either revamp the WST to have low, mid, and high content OR look at the current WST and add an extra option.

I've wished for this for a bit.  Glad someone put it into print.

I guess the issue I see is that the only way to guarantee maximum level compatibility would be to have posi and tarikoss be WST every week.

This is a nice idea in theory that quickly becomes impractical, as @Psyonico points out above.

I don't know that you have to guarantee maximum level compatibility, just do some rationalization to make it more even.  My thoughts were around the categories of Low (25 and below),  Medium (25 to 35), and High (35+).  In This scenario it is the mid-level that has fewer TFs.  I suppose it depends on where you consider the cut-off for Low, maybe 20 is better, but based on the content it seems like some rationalization can be done even if it does not perfectly align every week.

I think you are missing the OPs point, because if you are low level you would have to wait 12 weeks before one TF/SF becomes available.

 

Instead of only having 3 TFs or SFs, you would need to have 8:

1) 8/11+

2) 15+

3) 20+

4) 25+

5) 30+

6) 35+

7) 40+

8)) 50+

 

Of course in many cases at the low level, there is only 1 TF/SF which would make them permanent weekly, which may objectionable since it windup doubling the standard merits gain from them. Perhaps in the lower level cases where there are no substitute SF/TFs to use instead an appropriate thread?

I doubt I am missing the OPs point, since I am the OP.  🙂 

 

My point was simple which is to have low, mid, and high content each week. That way all levels can participate.  There are 18 low level based (based on my assumption of low level, which is 25 and below) content, so it would be simple to make sure low level content is available each week.  I'm not sure why you would want 8 tiers like you have; seems excessive.

 

I would also suggest the WST doesn't have to be just TFs.  Maybe they could add Oro content, SSAs, and contact arcs if it helps the rationalization effort.

I'm glad you mentioned this.  I'd wanted to suggest adding contact arcs as alternatives, but was afraid it might derail your OP discussion.  Weekly bonuses on rotating contact arcs, should, in theory, greatly increase the running of contact content.  I could see getting the badge for doing all Atlas Park contact content this way over 6 weeks or so. (Well, maybe exclude Twinshot from repeat content.)  The question would be: what does it take to code this?
