I think the problem is whether the UTs should be unquestionably better in every way or not.
Many people argue UTs should be swap out items that have niche uses. Then items like the crown came along and were essentially superior in every single way. Heck, we’re still waiting for tiered bows to have general use.
The problem with making niche UTs, however, is that people really start to look at the risk/reward category much more.
Those UTs might be cool but I’m not risking life and limb to obtain them.
And I think it’s fine that they are continuing to make a full oryx gear set. But I know for sure that having a full agents of oryx st set comprised of rng itms that require multiple events to obtain isn’t really healthy for a permadeath game at all.
Some major tears are going to be shed when a full oryx st set dies.
Limited edition and permadeath just don’t mix. At least the alien sets and previous sets could all be obtained through 1 single event.
