    Congratz on your record though mate
    I am not keeping track on hm energy kits i've used, my guess is in time of writing comment i've burned something between 200-300 energy kits. I may be lucky, true, or i am just active. It is random chance after all as asommers mentioned. I myself got 2x double platinum egg drop in 2 runs in a row and then about 20 runs nothing, then 1 egg then long time nothing. Activity is the key. Since my comment i've looted another 13 eggs, today few more. And it is not just me, i am running in party with friends and i see them looting platinum eggs as well. Some players come here to whine asking for everything to be handed to them on golden plate, but i don't see any significant difference between drop rates of platinum eggs in 2023 and 2024 events. Activity always rewards in this event, made 9 digits number profit in gold by selling all rarities of eggs in just 2 days of event, this is still one of most profitable events in AL.

    Other topic is energy drop rate, people whine it's too bad, while i am getting slighty over 200x essences every 30 minutes from KT4. You need 75x essence to craft 25 energy, so within 30 minutes i have essences for approx 66x energy, getting essence to craft over 120x energy kits by running KT4 for 1 hour. Burning this number itself takes some time.

    To me current event is fine. Btw ty for congratulations, i am still far from personal best, but at this rate i should beat it by the end of event. :-)

    I log every day since 2016 and i almost made plat in every event since then and i always farmed as i could. But at some point not easy to have the time both to farm 1000 essences (especially when i get 2/3 per map) and also have time to spend those energies, most of all in a time where people celebrate easter. I don't want everything served on a plate and even if also last year the drop of plat eggs was not op i didn't complain, because it felt if i actually ran more i could get more. This time no matter how many runs i do, i barely get even purples, think plats. Got only one so far among all runs i did. Don't consider also your experience in which you have time to invest and maybe an efficient pt also. Most of people don't have those. This is why drop should be less complicated, to make enjoy both who can play only one hour a day and to reward who plays 10h per day. This is why easter was so loved, was like a gift event. Now is just another way to turn all p2w

    I play this game since 2013, participating in all major events (been in top10 of some of them), are we comparing anything? :-)

    What maps do you play to get 2-3 essence per map? As far as i know popular endgame maps give more than that. If you are not well geared for KT4, you can run Hauntlet, or popular indigo caverns, endgame players know popular spots, guilds can help in this as well. I am genuinely trying to help you here. If the gear is main problem, and friends/guild are not helpful, there is decent essence drop rate in forgotten citadell map as well. It definitely drops more than 2-3 essences per run and good gear isn't required.

    I do play with my spouse and bestie, but often i run solo as warrior. We have to consider current gear in farming too. With current gear solo runs are almost as fast as party runs once we have latest gear (entire map can be ran in 3 procs, in 2 procs if you have high damage to finish last 3 eggs without armor proc). In party runs you can make turns in procs (even in random if you let them proc start). Farming of this event as endgame player is easier than ever before with same drop rates as during 2023, where is the problem? Asommers himself said purple eggs drop rates weren't changed. We just don't see re-rolls from luck sets that don't work anymore. Maybe re-roll messages that covered entire loot feed made us feel we were looting so many purple eggs. What other changes were made? STS just changed color of platinum egg and gave them requirement of platinum tier to start dropping from egg machines. I agree many features in AL were moved behind "paywall", even this event bring one "elixir that increases event score", honestly only lb runners require this elixir. Event is still great for us casual players to make high profit.

    Prove me wrong, but weren't all energy based events since beginning of AL about farming energy essence, crafting energy kits, and burning kits in event? I keep reading people whine about "this event has poor essence drop rates" every single energy event, in fact drop rates weren't touched in years. Only change to energy kits was crafting fee as form of gold sink. If you are not ready to invest time into farming essences to craft energy, STS offers shortcut by buying energy. If you can't do neither, then how would you like to loot eggs? AL is not form of clash of clans game, where you open game, do upgrades and close game. AL is kind of game that rewards activity, its MMORPG.

    I get your point, working people don't have as much time to play and prefer to spend holiday with family rather than grind AL. It is weekend, i have time to play now, i won't be as active during working days, yet still i managed to farm energy for 1hr and run event for another hour on friday. It wasn't long, but i've made profit.

    Frankly, things have to be balanced. If STS had allowed us to drop a platinum egg every other run, just because some of us can't find enough time to grind AL, then those active ones with hours of free time would be making stacks of x999 platinum eggs.

    To me things are balanced, believe me you'll get decent amount of platinum eggs if you'll keep running. Random runs are fast too (tested it), farming energy can be tricky without gear, KT4 probably require warrior (thankfully there are many warriors in AL), Indigo Caverns is usually full of players, and citadell map does not require team. AL had always been about grind.

    Lmao don't worry about my gear, i think i'm good enough. Not every event has same essence drop. For example previous event for each indigo i got like 7/8 essences. Rn, for my experience so far, is like half of that amount. But i wanna be understanding and just call it my bad luck, is ok. Don't even worry about my event runs, i can solo and one tap every egg np. At end of day, if a player regrets even to open eggs to make plat tier there is something quite wrong in the dynamic itself. 100 runs requires still quite some time and effort and if you don't get to loot even one plat in those runs honestly is just not effort-rewarding. Eggs in this celebration are gifts, should represent joy and always been like this. Now is just not as joyful anymore

    If you have knowledge, gear and everything required to succeed in Easter event, then why complaining? Nothing regarding drop rates of essence/eggs had changed. Do you understand concept of random chance to get loot in AL? Wish you luck in event. :-)

    Pointing out what is very wrong with the event is not proof of “not understanding” concepts or the game itself. If u really think this is “balancing” then u enjoy this event. But there isn’t one person in this game who doesn’t wish for old easter back. Not all are brave enough to say it tho.

    And what is exactly wrong with this event except for some UI changes and tier requirements that did not affect drops of eggs? Random drop chance was part of Easter since beginning you know that right? This is balance STS use in all events for all good/ rare loots, you know that right? By playing AL you've surely encountered this. I am enjoying AL with the way they balance rare drops with their "random chance", if you're not, then you should be asking yourself important question. Old easter === Current easter with minor changes that DID NOT AFFECT drop rates of eggs. I get it, friends support each other, but drop rates of eggs haven't changed. Wish someone from dev team tells you this, i tried my best to answer questions. :-)

    Sorry, you're the best player and we all should bow to you and your rng luck. Don't you think you assume a little too much about others, their understanding or their gear etc lol maybe, and i say maybe, some things got changed and most of people commenting think bad about these modifications so MAYBE is not just a complain but a disappointment in seeing that event after event their choices just keep to make players not run. If it was not for titles and pets that i need for aps i would skip every single event they propose cause for me is just more efficient farm gold and buy what i need. Ik people that used to run alot every events and now they lost all their motivation cause every event is worse than the previous. That said, you like it? Farm it. And i wish you to loot many more than you did already

    Your actually right about energy in indigo i only got a max of 3 per run for a while then got 7 in one run than so on but majority of runs i get 3 energy it still is possible to get 7-15 energy per run if u clear whole map tho
