Ahhhhhhh whereeee are the recipes for planar pendant? omg

[Dirtyburrito]

I spend alot money for this game and it was allways fun but in the last weeks i rly get mad.devs what are u thinking about all these receipe threads?the drop rate is not fair.we all spend alot gold and ankhs for nothing.we run tombs for crystals and for what??but its ok stop fixing the old problems just bring out new events and more mythic weapons that nobody needs?as i long as i have the feeling that u not hear to us players i stop buying plat and i hope more people will do it.maybe thats the only language that u anderstand.sorry for my bad english and i hope some dev can answer my questions.thx and cya

Stop buying plat guys they will answer

[Jazzi]

Ofc it was a silent nerf. I have had all the other ingredients for a while now and ran arena 100+ times. In all those times neither I saw somebody loot the recipe, nor did I loot anything else worth selling. Lol?!?

Btw I guess I should not be surprised. Other recent not announced changes:

1. Elixirs, including luck/reroll, do not stack anymore
2. Klaas and Shazbot chance to grant Ankhs has been dramatically reduced ( for me personally to 0 across 4 characters)

Azek

Hey gang,

I wanted to touch on the rarity and difficulty of the elite end-game Planar content (collectively Planar Tombs, Planar Arena and the tie in to Elite Tindirin). The design of the Planar content is to be something to grind on. It's not intended for you to roll in, grab the loot in a weekend and then ask "What's next?" Sure, it might still not be in the best spot for that (we have some more tuning coming on that front), but that's what it is intended to be.

We have the sprawling Winter Event going into Public Testing now and looking to go live after that. Planar stuffs is something you can start now, work on it or Winter over Dec. and still give something for people to work toward in Jan.

Hopefully that helps you understand what we were thinking.

Respectfully yours,
Samhayne

Yup and instead of folks playing the content more they are playing it less. Including me.

So it's fair that people got to loot 5 recipes a day when drop rate was increased but the rest of us will never get one?

STS has some serious issues with equality when they are fine with half of their player base being able to do something and they don't care about the ones that don't. For example the test server for android users only. The Mage class(speaks for itself).And now people that looted recipe in that 2 day period vs people who will never be able to get it now. Getting sick of this 💩

Everyone I know that looted recipe looted it while the bonus free plat offers were up, which was the update where the recipe drop rate was fixed and everyone started farming it like mad.

Over that weekend I did 60-70 runs until I dropped a recipe and then continued to run arena to help friends drop it too. In what can't have been more than 200 runs total I saw 4 recipes drop including my own.

After the update that ended that offer, friends who hadn't dropped it yet have kept trying and I don't know even 1 of them who has seen a single recipe drop.

Also during that time period we all saw for ourselves that new recipes were constantly being listed in CS with a steady drop in price. Since the update I'm not even sure a single one has been listed.

It seems like the increased drop rate acted more like a "double chance at xxx" rather than a permenant change in game, and was removed with the same update which concluded the period of double plat offers? Could have been a mistake but either way it need to be looked into :/

People have done hundreds of runs with no sign of the recipe and many on the point of rage quitting with a sense of injustice that either you got lucky that weekend or you will never have the amulet :/

More recipes drop now means more people will settle for elon/ halloween mythics as their stats are not significantly lower than winter mythics.
More people settled down with elon/ halloween mythics mean lesser demand for winter mythics.
Lesser demand for winter mythics mean "Lesser plat sales"
Lesser plat sales mean "lesser revenue for STS"

The time it really went wrong was when STS allowed plat farmers inspite of knowing what was happening (for a few months). During this time the plat buyers(STS' customers) were mostly in the dark and continued to buy more to get top tier items in the game. This drove STS revenues really high. When plat buyers came to know that they were spending IRC on this game only to compete with plat farmers, things started changing. STS not only lost many plat buying customers' trust, the lost revenues which took a nose dive. To meet YOY revenue and growth, blablabla... they have no option but to manipulate "so called luck" to their favour. This manipulation is the reason for double odds, arcanes, mythics ...etc being showered and ruining everyones gaming experience.

At the end of the day STS is not a charitable institution that offers all aspects of their game free of cost. Meeting and exceeding YOY targets is the sign of any successfull company and STS is no exception.

Remember even in a Casino there is a chance that you may walk out rich if its. In the virtual gaming world you could get richer in game and never in real life unless there is a way to convert plat/gold to IRC and transfer IRC to your bank account.

They nerfed it FIRST then uploaded it on the forums that they nerfed the drop rates.

[ueveotadeo]

Its a shame how they threat their customers.
I like the game, dont get me wromg there, its not a great game but the friends i made in game make it fun to play.

That being said, STS seems to have lost their goal with this game. Weak new content on not so fun events. Behind the scenes drop rate manipulation, lack of clear response on foruns ( always the we are looking into it.) makes u wonder if they know what they are doing.
Instead of making the game appealing to new players and still interesting to old players they seem to do the opposite. And worse than that is not being humble and taking some great ideas that we see here on forum they just do some re skin and release "new" bad content.

Looks like they rly need some help to get back on the right track.

Or perhaps im wrong and they are just....u know....not so smart and humble...

[Azemen]

Honestly, I've given up on the arena.

The only way I'd suggest is a viable method of profit is to farm tomb 3. With 10 runs a day, you can buy recipe for the helms via fragments and sell for a million or so. 1 mill every 2-3 days is great!

[Thrindal]

The inability to be forthright about drop rates is concerning. Often they will attribute it to your (bad) luck or only respond when the feedback gets too much, or just ignore the questions entirely. There is no way to know when/if they buff/nerf drop rates and that is what is concerning because on one day I could have a 1/100 chance of looting something then the next it is 1/1000 and I just don't know. Please just set a drop rate and leave it.

I'm done with Arena and Planar until I start hearing that recipes are being looted again. As far as I can tell all recipes were looted between two updates over one weekend. That is telling.

[adhyss]

show us loot table rate please

[Haligali]

Today the dragkin tooth drop rate was nerfed, I found 1 teeth in 40 runs, insane.

[twoxc]

i don't feel so bad now paying 35m for the recipe lol on the first day. had a feeling something like this was gonna happen after everyone was massively looting it left and right. i also looted one and sold it back for 25m that same day. clearly there was a hidden nerf lol this game is so rigged by sts. they have an OFF/ON switch to decide when to turn it on and off on drop and etc. If it's like this for the recipe. who knows what else sts has up their sleeve. for example Lock crate is also possible on arcane drop. all about timing and depend on them deciding when to let arcane dropped etc etc and the mythic drops from new locks.

[aarrgggggg]

Buff the drop rate of recipe and make sure to let us know you did.....via a thread started by samhayne himself.
Until then I and most others wont step foot in arena again.

In my case i barely log anymore until i hear that recipe gets a buffed drop rate.
If they do not buff the rate and tell us about it......more than likely this will be the final straw.

I currently have no plans to login or participate in the winter event at all......and its because of the pendant recipe
and how the current drop rate makes me feel scammed by sts themselves.

[jiph]

You just have bad luck keep at it and youll loot it for sure
