Shimmering Shores!

I am highly against pvp items being expensive. Before event sand ring was 100-150m currently it's 60m which is still high for dex sand ring which is the most used out of all of them and with these drop rates i doubt it'll go down lower after event. Many pvp players don't farm as much or have much gold and having a pvp where someone is at a disadvantage because of an item is discouraging.

The answer is in your question. How do you think ppl made half a bil easily? Master keys, Thrax, taking advantage of indrmand items likr when l35 became active the l32 swords and l35 items went arround 10-20m. Event farming, whats the purpose of the word "rare drop" if its not suppose to be rare at all. Ppl bm? Yes but some of them get banned abd some are still active. Go farm every event, invest on farming set for you to be able to make around 25-30m per hr or 40m per 30mins if youre ysing a gold master key. Thats how it works, the answer is already in your question. Ppl back then when the first ever released of these stuffs like ba, bg, wl shield, new eggs doesnt even complain that much about drop rates. There are ppl asking its really droppable or not but when theres 1 drop everyone gets excited to the point that there are times an item doesnt even drop like the scuba, or once like the WL but then we get to see more drop in the next yr same events.

The drop rates for desirable items being some sort of cosmic odds does not make sense to me. Why keep something people actually want behind an insane rng wall? I understand that is the premise of this game, but these are requested items in a LIMITED time event. We want them to use, we don't want 5-10 in existence that get black marketed endlessly.

Rarity even with items that drop liberally always comes with time. There isn't a single item in this game where that isn't true to some degree. We are on to play the event to get the new stuff in our old game.

I'm not saying it should be EASY, but if you put a solid 1 or 2 days of playtime in (what I imagine is the average for normal busy people) you should be getting the new items. Otherwise, what's the point of doing it?

Same thing happened with Christmas when we asked for original pinks to come back at low levels. Zero dropped, literally not a single one by anybody. Even after they were looked at and adjusted, nothing at all changed.

How is it healthy for a game to have items worth a quadrillion gold that get bmd vs actually letting people all have a good chance that play the event at getting them?

The insane mind numbing odds aren't even a bad idea, WE HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR NEW VANITY ITEMS IN PVE MAPS WITH THESE INSANE ODDS FOR YEARSSSS. IT GIVES PEOPLE A REASON TO PLAY NON EVENTS. Red dragon slayer has been the blueprint of good pve for over a decade. And we have let that be known many times.

It's just extremely frustrating.

Frankly, noone talked about drop rates in the event thread for shimmering shores the previous 2 years, they're already higher this year, and the new items aren't any more rare than existing ones, so... that's why they're still what they are.

I'll check on them again for week 2 and consider it at that point.

I don't doubt that at all. However this was the first time that you added a new vanity that people care enough to complain about. The uniforms are definitely in lots of peoples top 5 vanity armors in the whole game. Everybody wants them.

The fact only 1 has dropped of the new 2 colors is strange though. I remember first contact orange uni releasing (my favorite in the game) and they were essentially 5m each at one point so many were dropped so fast. But that was 2020, not the 2024 or 2025 rates. It was awesome, everybody that wanted it could get it, and now it's a rare item.

Edit again: Apparently shimmering shores has always dropped first contact uniform. But I never remember it dropping past 2020. So the rates must've been nerfed incredibly hard.

This is just incorrect. Misinformation is certainly not the way to get things adjusted.

I really didn't understand what you said the way you explained everything is bad lol. If you don't pvp a lot you shouldn't be talking there's many pvp players that only play pocket legends to pvp and pvp should never be disadvantageous because of gear only skill and skill builds should matter.

futu is right there have been more drops

The reason people don't play PvP is because of rushers like Spineologist. He adds a lot of players and invites both newbies and veterans to his PvP map. Instead of asking to PvP, he just rushes them without permission, so why would anyone want to play? They treat players like food, so how can anyone like them? That is the reason I hate PvP

That's not even a good excuse rushing is part of pvp whether you like it or not. What isn't good is pvp items being too expensive to buy and people being at a disadvantage for example mythic crafted tinker sets they are 700m-1b which is ridiculous it needs to be a lot easier to farm dragon fangs maybe even be able to drop mythic crafted/ tinker amulet from boss instead of crafting or remove the bonus mythic tinker gives from pvp and we need more dex sand ring drops

Just a quote from your first post saying only 1 has dropped. I'm not trying to make this into some sort of argument string, just why I think these drops should be abundant.

Not what I said, but anyway, done with this until the second week. Will check on drops and reevaluate then.

maybe not abundant because what would be the point of grinding then?

???

[oreo123]

That are only assigned to certain amount of people and a lot of the times aren't tradable with some events being new/reskins and takes a lot of grinding to get to and you're also comparing leaderboard rewards to NEW vanity uniforms that drop from bosses. Vague and weak argument lmao. Unless ur saying that the uniforms should be added to leaderboard rewards then sure.

Dissidents of “Go” have always existed in this game. There’s not a single era where you could join a PvP lobby in any PvP level and not get rushed by someone later down the lines. If you do not like the fact that these type of players exist then it would be my personal opinion you either not play it or simply do what everyone who’s ever experienced PvP has done, form/join a guild and fight back.

The reason people aren’t interested in PvP is simply the cost and the balancing. Some of yall can conjure up 800m+ for a set, for the remaining players you’d never be able to justify that to us when we have cheaper alternatives that are also far more balanced. The alternatives in question is twink……which unfortunately has been infested over the years with overpowered gear that nullified the previous stuff. Over the years it just kept getting progressively worse until this point. Now we are trying to do a massive reset. Fun game mode though.

I'm sorry you've had this bad experience in PvP. Please consider to keep trying PvP, the more people the merrier, and like MageFFA mentioned above. Don't let them get away so easy and fight back!

Talkin' about pvp, go to other thread. I do pvp a lot more than you did fyi. These past few events, a simple instruction cant be followed? I saw your comments on other events talking about the same exact thibg called "pvp" even jf its an event threads.

If you want to ask old events or other info you can pm me if you cant post on the right thread instead of replying to comment with a different topic.

[cerwinroxas]

I've seen 3 explorer drops not sure if there are more and for other pink one not sure if that one guy really dropped it.

[jane12]

Dear futumsh, please focus more on new and returning players. Since this is an older game, it is hard to grow. If new players don't get early support, they quit or resort to begging.

Please make it easier to play solo so they enjoy completing quests. You should add a non-tradable starter vanity set with basic stats (+1k damage/armor/HP) at the first map, Forest Heaven. This prevents early deaths so they don't give up. Also, adding a daily quest in Forest Heaven Town (like kill 1,000 monsters for 100k gold) would keep players active.

[oreo123]

Hey futumsh this isn’t event thread related and im sorry bout that it’s just we have a tournament starting august 8 and we explained all the rules in another thread under player vs player we have a decent amount of teams too we can show proof of everyone who’s joining but most people don’t have accounts to comment and upvote if you can let me know if you’re able to make a tournament shield prize.
