Drop rate in zodiac and other creates

[grzena1982]

Sts it is time that your pricing strategy is revised. I have dropped some serious amount of money on the game from the onset of the last event and the drop rates are less than satisfactory in general. It wasnt the case with fiery locks, where for every 300-500 locks i was pulling arcane.

I understand that it is all based on gambling and the luck part of it, but you should strive to achieve a symbiotic relationships with your paying customers where we could get something in return for financially supporting the game.

1. You have doubled the price of locks - Zodiac lock is 10 plats, 3 pulls = 30plat
Massive temple 30 plat

Your locks should always cost 15plat

2. You have reduced the content to pure junk, why are there epic items instead of elixirs and 1-2k gold to recuperate our losses. Its utter junk not worth anything.

3. You dont cater to lower lvl players as they get lvl 71 gear when opening new locks.

4. The vendor in town still sells only old arcanes for crate tokens. When are you going to upgrade the list by including the recent ones?

5. Why are u preventing players from obtaining a full mire sets? Some parts of this set are almost impossible to loot nor buy in the shop. Reintroduce this in new locks.

6. The drop rate atm is aweful. I am honestly sick of it. There are hardly any ebon weapons in the shop on sale, hardly anyone looted new pet too.

7. Recently I have popped a massive amount of fiery locks and out of 11 arcanes available on them I pulled 5 shards in a row. The likelihood of this happening is close to 0. I am starting to feel that you constantly manipulate drop rates and that the drop rate on the fiery locks have been reduced too.

I just want to say that ill still buy a few more grand of ur plat, if again I dont get anything Ill move my business to a different game where developers can offer players the best gear in game for the amount of money i have sunk in it.

I am really disappointed.

Also if u make a new character, and have that unfortunate pleasure to meet killjoy, he will kill you very easily then just wait you there in the place of spawn. Defo not the best experience for new players who were oblitarated on my eyes. Killjoy killed me twice when i was only trying to get to outpost to move my inv to low lvl toon.

Bro as you noticed there adding new arc weapons in every event locks that they release..haha..there controlling arcane drop rate so that in upcoming event people will stil have reason to open new event locks..thats there strategy...if arcane weapon drop rate are so high..the demand of opening future event locks will drop..better not open locks..the chance to loot arcane weapon are like farming vial in arena chest..ur just wasting ur money...haha😂😂😂

[grzena1982]

Another 5100 plat and i got 500 of epic junk.

Sts this is not fair nor reasonable loot chances.

[Philofax]

you are ranting about droprates and just 6 hrs later you wasted another 5100 plat?

if i would be able to waste thousands of plat .. i would rather stay 3 nights at littlefingers finest house, than opening crates in a game.

Yes, the low levels don't stand a chance against that murderous sod. You should take your new character to Garretta and use the stash place there whilst he's on the loose.

Or u could use that plat buy awakes and sell

DEAD XD

Ya lil nursty

Drop rates been nerfed ofc especially for timur sad :( also there was suppose to be a update where it shows the chances of looting each item in lock crates play store said was a legal requirement but sts found a way to avoid it so yea gl on looting arcanes :)

[grzena1982]

It's absolutely their choice if they want to alienate another customer in a game with its ever decreasing player base.

I was extremely happy with fiery locks, I think that they used to be worth every penny. I did alright with massive temple I got 2 belts and h Sam, but zodiac locks is just a waste of money for me.

Besides, I have mentioned above that I have noticed issues with drops because out of 11 arcanes available in fiery locks u cannot pull 4-5 shards. Its very unlikely, unless chance of drop of each arcane is not equal and this is exactly what I have observed in practice.

[Ameylin]

Seems like can't get rich by opening them, though can't even get rich by selling them.

Lately, STS has much reduced drop rate in lockeds. I do not understand their strategy and what they want to do with it. I had no luck in the winter and temple events (only Ava belt and Arcanite recipe). With this experience, I am barely interested in entering the Arcane Legends game, I am currently focusing on the Summoners War game that gives me far more for my efforts and money. Justig, if you're reading this, you should think where you are going with this game so that those who buy platinum slowly give up from game because of the disappointment. It seems that the STS is only working on the content that will bring them money while every other game aspect is totally broken (too much bugs, game is not balanced, etc.).

Dropped another 2k plat on Mass zodiac and nothing again. 0.

From a free player: plat buyers stop opening locks is really worrying me. No new weapons/equip, no awakens. Ok we can collect gold from Esg and Maus, but to buy what????? I’m looking for Ebon Staff but really in a shortage, and when I find price is not really appealing me....I can afford it but honestly I don’t find 30-35 mil difference frommy horror is worth it.
Hope with Hugthulu there will be an improvment on this side. If people are reducing lock opening....crafting events locks is going to be a little meaningless.
Sts did great with last couple events, still room for improvement on this side :) keep up the good job!

Dear STS,

I have been hearing murmurings of extremely low drop rates from crates, and this bothers me. Plat players are important in bringing new gear and new pets from crates into Arlor. I totally agree with the OP and understand the frustration.

I know I'm not a dev but I don't understand the philosophy of drops low-to-the-extreme of them being almost non-existent.

If I was a dev and people purchasing plat paid my salary, I'd have these players popping locks with glee forever and a day.

Yes I understand about influx of items and the effect on the economy but here is where you balance that and the happiness of your plat lock poppers.

Yours,
Tuhguhbuhbuhdfjdjfgrjfgrkjfhfhjkv

[capeo]

I ageee to. Im done opening locked crates. Better off just waiting for the item you want to be available to purchase with gold. I know others feel the same way the op and I do. Don't think its good if people stop opening crates.

[Azerothraven]

I didn’t loot nothing good until l spent 8k plat but then kept getting lucky. It’s random so you either win big or go home. Just like in Casino

A friend spent 2k plat recently and made 700m pure gold by selling the items. But in the past he spent so much and didn’t get anything

If u can’t deal with disappointment don’t open lock and invest the plat elsewhere like crate keys or limited items

Bro ur so plastic..ur so sipsip with sts(you know what that means?)wel google it if u have time...as i read before they should be transparent with how much chance you can loot in pooping lock(some says its one of the rule in playstore/app store that company must state how much chance to loot rare item in chest and locks in any games..we just want to know how much chance to loot rare item in locks?its feels like 1% chance or even worst..

[GoodTraitor]

^^ What this guy means by sipsip is being a butt-kisser if you're still wondering [emoji23]

if noone open lock , the server gonna die cuz sts need money for living . if they cant get money , i think they must let this game die

[Gamegrog]

Tbh sts is ruining their own game by decreasing the drop rates of locked crates.
Pls come to the fact that this game is one of the best games I have seen
Dev pls don't ruin it.
Y y'all(developers) being so greedy it was just 5 plats to open one locked crate but now to open a normal lock is like 15 plats and that's too much.

The problem, imo, are awake gems being available for plat only. They are in extremely high demand and usually you need 50+ per item to get anything half decent. Before the double plat weekend 10 elite awakes were heading towards 500k (which really is ludicrous when you think about it)

To keep this cash cow for sts going they make it more profitable to sell awakes than it could ever be to open locked (some people get lucky occasionally but from a consistent return point of view awakes are the best plat-gold method in game)

What STS seemingly fail to realise is that the majority of the plat player base want to open locked crates and loot something worthwhile, not buy awakes- sell for gold- buy items you couldn't possibly loot for the same plat investment.

Of course new top tier items should be rare, but the current situation will only drive people away from buying plat (myself included)

There has to be a way to reduce the cost of awakes and make players more inclined to open crates, maybe adding awakes as a more common drop from maps/bosses or increasing the amount you get in locked (10-25-50 awake kits) maybe even a gold sink daily for limited awakes...idk, something.

(The devs could have noticed this thread and already acted. Many people in game have been 'lucky' opening locked the last couple of days, even I got a couple nice drops)
