    Default Arcane Legends or not?

    Before Arcane Legends release, many things has been promised and told.

    It has been said this game will only be Platinum nonessential (Vanity). That parts gone out the window, along with Free Respec's and Inventory slots.

    "Plats will be for vanity only"
    Hmmm, sure?

    It hasn't even been announced, so i'm sure we won't see it.

    If Champions gear goes above 16 in this Cap raise coming, then people will just be running on Platinum items constantly not needing to farm or even try at the harder/earned stuff. (Warrior pinks come to mind).

    So far every nerf, has been for one thing and one thing only, to increase Platinum sales. The Elite chests pink drop rate nerf has only increased the gold purchased to be able to afford the crazy CS prices due to how rare it is to get gear. Also the luck, I don't know what happened with it, but it's certainly not normal for a lot of us. Example, so tests I have done, more informations here:

    _____

    I was wondering if it was a bug, or not. But after writing down every single chests (silver, gold, copper) and bundles (from Platinum store) that I opened, I did not receive a single pink. Here's what I opened at the moment.

    Looted chests:

    - Silver chest: Opened 52 times, not a single pink.
    - Copper chest: Opened 36 times, not a single pink.
    - Gold chest: Opened 16 times, not a single pink.

    Platinum/gold purchasable chests/bundles from store:

    - Founder's mystery chest: Opened 75 times, not a single pink.
    - Founder's weapon chest: Opened 28 times, not a single pink.


    Total of chests/bundles opened: 206.
    All of them were opened on my account, but on 2 different characters (to test the rate).

    Items received: Greens, and rarely purples.

    I'm not complaining, or telling anything bad (makes me feel bad), i'm just wondering if it's a bug, or if the chance/luck of this game is really low and depends on the characters.

    _________________________

    -Edited, I opened even more now. Again, not a single pink BUT received a common. This is making me really upset!
    -Edited again, opened few more. STILL not a single pink!

    -Edited, 30 more. STILL NO PINK.
    -Much more added. No pink as usual.

    Thanks!

    _____

    Even the best players/forumers, have even sacrificed their best gear for gold and taken the cheap option to run with on Champion's gear and Choppa's etc. Nothing is being earned at all, and this is only lvl 16 cap.

    If StS were bothered then they would have balanced out the drops, so people aren't just purchasing their sets with platinum.

    We all know Thrashers are coming, XP Gain Elixirs etc, as they are massive $$$ pitfalls.

    The only thing I would suggest though, is getting those Chrome deals while you still can, because i'm sure they will be taken away since they are very reasonable offers for us.


    Just 2 cents, but honest and true.

    Well, Let's see where the road takes us when the new content comes in, then we'll spam them with the same suggestions.

    Must be me but i get at least a pink a day from drops or chests and thats with running no luck elixers. From all mystery chests i purchased i got pinks within 10 chests of any category. I have not gotten any pinks from the mystery chest u buy for gold but i gave up pretty soon on those. I have a really hard time believing u opened 200+ chests and ddntnreceive even one pink. No offence,

    They haven't been announced to come, so looks like they won't.

    Luck is random. it appears you've been blessed with the good kind, yet not everyone is. I have a really hard time even believing what you said is totally true. IMO.

    Words from the wise, Bod.

    Astro, just don't buy more. STS will most likely change if peple just stop.

    To make sure: I am NOT complaining (before some people tries to start a argument). I am just proving a fact.

    Amen to everything you just said. Arcane Legends is my favorite game, but I would love it if it did not become dependent on Plat such as PL.

    Hey Data! I have totally nothing against you! You are lucky, and that's good . But when I open 200+ chests and don't get a single pink, I have the right to say these. But again, nothing to do with you .

    Yes of course you have and i would love anyone from sts to shine a light on this. But they probably won't. Opening over a200 chests with no pink is ridiculous and i agree on that no worries. :-)

    Dang. I must be very lucky. I got pink founders helm my first platinum bought chest and two pinks from looted chests. I've only have 10 total. 2 platinum bought and 8 looted.

    It's just, the chances and drop rate for pinks are very very low. I need pinks, we all do >.>

    That's what i'm saying, like yes sure pinks do drop, and lots of people are lucky. But the unlucky ones, are REALLY unlucky. I mean come on, luck system is pretty weird in this game.

    Astrocat, great post, opened 100+ chests last days: 0 pinks. ZERO.
    I suppose it depends on your character somehow, don't now in what particular way though.
    My vote for cutting chest drop %, but increasing chances in those chests. Cause, you know, you get elite golden chest (yay!), open it ... 3greens. It's so disappointing..
