All,

I'm getting zero architect tickets when I run the Dev's Choice arcs. Is this a bug or working as intended? I don't remember this from test.

I believe Dev's Choice gives you Regular rewards (ie, enhancement drops, recipe drops...

I put in my 2 cents suggestion to enable a choice of tickets or regular rewards.

But the end of arc bonus is supposed to be in Tickets. That is a bug.

I don't think that's right. Do you have a quote?

I noticed this last night. I did get some "regular" drops in a DC mission - but no bonus at the end whatsoever. No tickets, no MCB, nuttin'.

What's supposed to be happening with a D'sC is that you get the regular mission complete bonus of XP and Influence. There's not supposed to be any Tickets with a D'sC.

In Beta, D'sC was bugged with obscenely huge and multiple mission complete bonuses for multi-mission arcs. Maybe MCBs were shut off completely to temporarily stop that from happening.

Seems kind of silly that some of the (one would assume) best MA missions don't award any tickets :-(. Kinda removes the entire point to doing great MA arcs with my 50s. I was REALLY looking forward to having a reason to dust some of them off and play them again... Now some of the best missions have lost all the appeal for that.

But... but they give real rewards rather than tickets.

Isn't that, you know, better?

Not for a level 50 IMO. And even for my younger alts, I like the tickets better as I seem to get much better results with Bronze/Silver rolls than I do with normal drops, at least when you average the results over time.

Not to some. Real rewards are random and require me to stop and delete the readily identifiable crap or run off to a vendor/Wentworth's every time I fill up. It's a minor nuisance, sure, but one I'm glad I'll never have to deal with again. With tickets I can pick up what I actually need salvage and enhancement-wise then roll for recipes if and when I actually feel like taking the time to deal with crafting and selling.

Exactly. And as I said, for lvl 50's MA is a golden reason to blow the dust off some old characters, but not getting tickets for some of the best missions removes a lot of the appeal. I was actually part way through a long arc and when I picked back up in the middle I was suddenly no longer getting tickets .

I really don't understand the reasoning behind this one, to me personally, it makes me want to avoid the Dev's pick missions, which seems kinda counter-productive?

Dev's Choice are in no way going to suffer for lack of Ticket-giving. They dev-recommended which means they'll get plenty of play.

What you might want to do is take a less than level 50 alt through the Dev's choice so that they can level up with normal drops and XP.

If Tickets are seen as being a valuable currency (and I and several others in this thread think so), then Tickets will help those arcs which are not Dev's Choice so that the Dev's Choice don't become the only place players go to in the MA.
