Content Suggestion Dimensional crystal price change

[john 'the old man']

What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
Changing the prices of Dimensional Crystals — 22415 Crystals and Shadow Dimension Crystals

Currently, the crystals are priced as follows:

• 22415 Crystals: 5,000
• Shadow Dimension Crystals: 30,000

These prices have been very limiting for players who are trying to test those dimensions, since they currently cost more than they should. In addition, the time it takes for players to accumulate that amount while on the server is too long. While a price of 5,000 for 22415 Crystals might seem reasonable at first, it drains players’ money too quickly for them to do meaningful testing/usage of it when Hume bubbles pretty much are cheaper and easier to use.

The pricing I suggest is the following:

• 22415 Crystals: 2,000–3,000 This keeps them affordable for testing while still giving them value.
• Shadow Dimension Crystals: 10,000–20,000 Still “end‑tier,” but no longer so expensive that players can’t experiment without having to dry the bank completely

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
[I think as I've heard before that shadow dimension was priced at 50000. My suggestion doesn't differ much from previous suggestion due to the fact its a price lowering suggestion that lets players be able to afford the crystals for reasonable prices.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):

* More testing involving dimensions
* Reduced grind time
* Better progression pacing
* New players don’t get discouraged by high price ceilings

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:

* Players might spam the dimensions too often

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:

Currently, cartographers are actively searching for new ways to test, but one of the limitations they face is the high price of a single Dimensional Crystal that once open can’t even be moved. I believe that if this suggestion is accepted, players will have a more affordable way to experiment and progress, without having to grind with methods such as chemical selling, sampling, and other tedious methods of gaining money on the server.

Could put in a cooldown to stop spamming.

Denied Thread 'Lower price for Shadow Dimension Rift Bridge'

Dec 1, 2025

What does this suggestion change/add/remove:

My suggestion to lower price of Shadow Dimension Rift Bridge from 30k to 10k

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:

I don't think, but with new change of Shadow bridges being able to be dropped from a mission it has new context

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):

- Will Allow MC&D to sell them despite them being now available for free as a reward for a mission.
- It will increase utilisation of shadow dimension. Currently shadow dimension is under...

While I think this suggestion will 100% get Denied

I would love to for them to be more easier to do dimensional tests
And while the cost of the dimension crystals are a bit expensive
E-11 (& I think SOP ) gets them from C-missions , and they are often left unused
if you ever want to test something with dimension feel free to ask them
and hopefully they will give you one

Currently the portal goes unused outside of very certain combat situations. I myself have cancelled tests using the device just because it would be too expensive. The cost is already very high requiring 1000V-points to even get a chance to use it, just for a further cost per use.
It was pretty disappointing honestly, I had the spare points, thought I'd try something different with my tests, but I was immediately blocked by cost.
I understand that balancing the cost around combat would be hard, my proposal to deal with that is 2 versions of the item, one for combat that has the current cost, and a non-combat version that is cheaper an has a cool-down before you can use a firearm again.
While not perfect, this would allow for most testing at a reasonable price.
