    Default Drop rate in zodiac and other creates

    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😂😂😂

    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.

    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.

    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.).

    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!
    If there would be a competition for stupidity, I would be second. Cause I’m stupid

    Yeah bro Tru point because of the less loot chances the price of the new arcane weap and arcane arti,belt increase to a very high price and due to rarety of good loots most of the plat users stopped opening crates.and this means all have to stick with the old weap.

    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

    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.

    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
