A solution for Celestial essence crisis

[MarkHark]

Making them a common drop (even as common as in 1.4.11) is probably too much. But I agree they SHOULD be attainable under regular gameplay conditions - perhaps a very small chance to show in locked chests, a minuscule drop chance from story mode bosses, a better chance at higher TLs, perhaps even as high as 1-2% above TL100.
And a buying option at consumables vendor could be done, but it would have to be expensive. Perhaps they could add a [50% chance] 0-1 Celestial Essence to the contents of the existing 2500-Gem crate?

Unfortunately the only fair way would be to remove all those farmed CEs and refund gems spend opening chests

What about the CE that have been crafted to CT and applied? We can check the leaderboard to see how many 70+ celestial gears are there.

We cannot make everyone happy but we can try to make more happy people than unhappy. We all want fairness, but instead of taking somethings from some people, we can try to give similar things to other. Removing/refunding make more works for developers, more unhappy people, when making CE common will cost virtually nothing, even more happy players.

Unfortunately the only fair way would be to remove all those farmed CEs and refund gems spend opening chests. That's not gonna happen cause they decided to push out live version instead of going into beta. Can't come up with a possible solution everyone would be happy with.

As much as i like some of the ideas brought up again by you, im not expecting big changes like that to happen... At least not for season 1.

As the CE crisis continue, I would like to make some proposals for its solutions:

1. Make CE common, can be obtained from drops or bought from shops (like Marks of Titan). Is there any reason to keep Celestial exclusive when some players have already many of them, and mainly that you can think out a new type of exclusive gears for rewards (see number 3).

2. Limit the number of Celestial gears that a hero can wear at the same time (e.g. max. 2 or 4 Celestial pieces). By this limitation, the players who have hundreds CEs will have no real advantages against the players who get only few CEs from salvaging.

3. Think out a new type of exclusive gears for event rewards, e.g. 6 attributes or critical damage instead of vitality. The age of Celestial is over, let's welcome a new age.

Please do not try to punish players who (intentionally or not) have farmed CEs, they have to invest times and gems to do it, and there are many innocents among them. Let's solve the crisis in peaceful way, like the proposals above. Mainly proposal #2 can be applied easily, without disruption and making angers among players.
