Since there has been quite a bit of complaint on the difficulty of the Augmenter Tweaking bottleneck missions, they are going to be receiving a minor change sometime in the near future.

Instead of requiring all of the Augmenter Condensor blueprints, they will require a number of 'Minor Augmenter Research Token, Basic Augmenter Research Token, et cetra' based on the level of the bottleneck mission. These tokens will be received via Condensor turn-ins. This means that you could in theory use 10 of one type of Condensor for one mission after the change, and it should make the missions less difficult while keeping them challenging.

And give us a way to turn augs into condensors,

And i have been DGing for the past few days and got ZERO condensers, and im focused on getting AT more than anything.

Im somewhat glad this is being done but I still cannot get my alt past AT3, I have only found 4 Minor Condensors and have already level 2 of my unused alts to level 100 trying to find them.

sounds great

What's the fun of that?
K, maybe it is a bit hard, but getting every single good cond was kida fun... Even the 2nd and 3rd time was fun. It make the skill feel special...

I am glad this will be added in. Is there any way of adding it in with no rewards, while keeping the full set mission in with rewards also? Thus giving the choice of a little easier or harder with a reward.

This is a great idea, though minor condensors are still scarce regardless of type. I've got 2 or 3 total, and haven't given any out...

Well fortunately for me, I got AT 3 right before the reset, so I started at AT 14 with imp tweak 3. However, good condensors are rather scarce. I would like to see a way tochange the type of condensor, i.e. 2 std condensors=good con, and 1 exc. cond = 2 good cond. However Cael, this is a good start. Keep up the good work .

My account DroneMaster has AT3 on just about all characters.

So that means he has Imp Tweek...

Getting AT past level 3 is almost impossible as it right now and it needs to be changed. As I might have said before I've level 2 alts pst minor condensor range and I got 4. Two were Minor Thrust, one Minor Traction, and one Minor Agility; the droprate sucks.

And what of the other condensers? Are you getting more or less of the Basics, Std, etc? I've been getting Minors and now have a complete set of them, including a Minor Capacity Condenser. I think the drop rate is about right as it is now. I get maybe one a week and that is about the same rate that I'm getting Basics and Stds. One of the reasons that I have a full set of Minors is that I never throw anything away that I MIGHT be able to use in the future.

it was a tad hard.. but still, think of how hard ti was to get AT over 3 before... it is fine as is, but making it a tad easier is good for me, lol.

I didn't have a problem with the difficulty getting it from 16+... Theres plenty of good/exc condensers out there... The problem was getting minor condensers... I've played about 1.5 years now and I've got 4 minor condensers... I bought 1 of them... I can't imagine how hard it would be for a newbie to get them.

I have loads of minor condensers... they drop regularly in the DF10-30 dgs that I lvl'd some F2P alts for some fun, lol you aren't gonna get minor condensers in DF200++ dgs.. although some loot you get is worse than minor condensers, lol. Also I think it is rumble or Rumble 2 that they drop frequently in.
