they should create a new market where we can buy some patch essences so we don’t have to wait till 2030 to be able to have some heros patch nicely lol

Not nicely. That could honestly be mitigated by giving stat bonus adequate to the hero’s core stats from level 1.
But, for some reason, adequate stat boosts are coded past level 40 and even then… we only know how tier 1 and 2 patch essences look like. Not to mention the progression from what I could tell isn’t so far decided past level 25.
Hence why I called the feature quite meh. Because instead of progressing from the current rank (I understand Y20 is a huge investment, but the QoL could make it easier to achieve on some heroes) it progresses off R10.
Stats at R10 we have are exactly 1/200x of those we got at Y20/21. Every 13 ranks is 10x higher.
The patch stats even at level 5 patch are likely to be still far less than the 1/200x even.
Just so you know Y21 is basically R41, so 31 ranks apart.

If they have no plans to release more guild perks especially guild contest perks anytime soon, maybe they can replace the guild contest perk coins to patch currency for guilds that are full instead (or prize wall coins if running concurrently). At least than the patch currency can be used unlike those guild perk coins that just keep growing.

How about letting the guilds buy 100 patch essence for 10,000 orange guild coins? Wait, nvm. Maybe 100k lol.

So every 3 weeks players in guilds could get 100 essence, sounds perfect!
And these tokens will be finally useful too.

I think the major focus of the feature is unlocking & upgrading the abilities. However we are still not clear how much that will cost.

But the new guild perks will be only related to guild war?

Do we have a ETA of the quality of life post?
You know before x date when you go to winter recess?
@Loutre does the team plan to include more info regarding how the Patch system works for the State of the Game post? I have patched all the heroes worth patching and have to make a decision how to proceed further. I presume others are at the same stage. We need more info to make that a conscious decision.
What kind of more info are you looking for?

I mean… you have to Patch 15 heroes to get patch Level 2 unlocked which you can then purchase. Obviously impossible for F2P players in a month.
What!? Seriously, why it wasn’t mentioned anyway (clearly) in the game?
New feature and we barely know anything about it, we still don’t have a list of possible talents… and newsletter shows there are more than the ones we got (and so the data)
@Nugget @Loutre
Can we finally get the list of possible talents?
And how to level up talents to 3, 4, 5?
When we can get essence tier 2 and up?

Hey Loutre 
General purpose information that may already be known to some players that bought patch power but its not common knowledge:
- How many heroes do we have to upgrade to unlock each next patch level and what would be the cost for each up to level 5?
- How to know what upgrading the ability will give us? Or will that become visible after we have 15 patched?
- Will heroes that are patch-able now continue to be patch-able when the next set is released?
Thanks for answering

It is highly likely that talents will be determined on the go based on what the meta needs. So each set of new trials will reveal a set of new tier 1 talents. Not even PB knows what those talents will be in advance.
I personally presume that tier 2 essence (needed for tier 2 talents) will become available a long time from now, possibly once all heroes have had their tier 1 ability determined. Tier 2 will be used to continue to balance the meta once PB run out of tier 1 slots, then tier 3 and so on allowing the team to keep the game fresh for the next 4-5 years when all abilities will be exhausted for all heroes. Its really good design btw. By the time we are out of abilities PB may introduce more tiers, if needed.
This is planned for season 3 of Patch.
