This new change suffers from the Elite Dangerous problem. Now the best way to farm mats on a respawn timer that is crucial to upgrading is to get around the timer. By essentially:
Save the game close to node.
Go farm the node.
Force a realm backup from main menu.
Repeat.
This is not an objective improvement. It makes the game worse.
People that were already having trouble with the crucible now have no way but this exact solution. To get better gear/weapons to beat the dang thing.
I get that with new regions opening the appearance of new resources are bound to happen. But since we aren’t there yet in the EA. Why force this change right now?
