Item Awakening Changes, plus Weekend Mini-Event!

[asommers]

In the next server update, we've got a few new item awakening changes coming your way!

The core system is staying the same (details can be found here (https://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?746107)), but we've got a few tweaks:

We've improved the odds for higher-rarity enhancements. Remember, for any enhancement that is rolled, we roll the rarity first and then choose an enhancement at that rarity (all with equal odds).
The rarity for 10% MS has been changed from legendary to epic. This allows 10% MS to be rolled with Standard Stones of Augmentation (Blue Gems).
The rarity for 50% GL has been changed from legendary to epic. This allows 50% GL to be rolled with Standard Stones of Augmentation (Blue Gems).

NOTE:

We have verified that Cracked Stones of Augmentation are indeed dropping and in the hands of players!
Previously, 10% MS and 50% GL were only available during the Item Awakening Event, but they are now available whenever you use Standard Stones of Augmentation (Blue Gems).

As a result of these changes, we will be offering the Item Awakening Event for three days this weekend (Fr/Sa/Su).

Can we know exactly how higher rarity enhancements were improved? Like, legendary awakens(like 4% stats in accesories) have higher % to obtain or they had lower chance and after update all raritys have the same odds?

[Neutrone]

Thank you so much for listening to us on the the 10% MS. This change makes sense and I'm happy to see it. Also looking forward to seeing the adjusted odds.

[Alexwwe]

Love the rarity changes for 10% ms and 50%gl !

[AgentStonoga]

Higher rarity rolls are improved with blue awakening gems too?
Even if you bring back 50gl to accessories, rolling 50gl (20 and 40 aswell) with blue gems would be way harder, cause of new possibilities (mostly bad ones), which are lowering the chance of getting decent gl awak on venal items.

The weights (not percentages) for the rarities are: common=40, rare=30, epic=20, legendary=10. These rarities are for the enhancement, not the gem itself.

Let's take the elite awakening gem as an example. That gem offers all rarities, so we roll the rarity and at the weights mentioned, that means 40/100 or 40% of the time you'll get a common enhancement [from the pool of common enhancements], 30/100 or 30% of the time you'll get a rare enhancement, 20/100 or 20% of the time you'll get an epic enhancement, and 10/100 or 10% of the time you'll get a legendary enhancement.

Here's a table of odds using this formula for all awakening gem types:
270148

Lists for the enhancements available per item type (including their rarities) are in the second post of the original changes thread (link (https://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?746107)).

The changes listed in the first post of this thread will not make the existing system feel like the old system, these changes are the result of player feedback and analysis of enhancements after the system change. Enhancements will not be removed to reduce pool sizes and we feel the existing rarities per enhancement are correct (now that we've updated the 10% MS and 50% GL).

As mentioned quite often, there is no going back to the old system -- it doesn't exist anymore.

As always, we welcome your constructive feedback!

Can we have a table of how it was before the changes? For comparison purposes.

[OdenTheJust]

Thank you for the clarification, well I think this is a fair change and something that we will just have to get used to.

So now we won't get 15cd and 1% stat together, if I understood right?
Because all awaken will be from same rarity.

[Elec]

And if 50gl is epic and we get it, other awaken of the gears will be epic too.
On the other words, we can't have high stats awaken with 50gl.

Did I understand right or no?

[Dotn]

Is awakening event will be the mini event?

[Ifeast]

Can you guys add some sort of visuals to the awakes so that we know what rarity each awake is without having to go to forums please? You can either say the rarity or give each rarity a color.
