As some of you might have guessed, a few too many gnomes have been set loose in Krystara than intended. As such we are pushing a server fix that will make a few small changes.
The chance to encounter one of the Mana Surge Gnomes during Gnome-a-Palooza has been lowered. Right now they are appearing too often during a Gnome-a-Palooza, leading to an unbalanced amount of Verses being obtained. You can still encounter one of the Mana Surge Gnomes during an active Gnome-a-Palooza, but it will be a rarer occurrence.
We have adjusted some of the other Gnome chances to account for this. We wanted to make the chance to encounter our other Gnomes more even. (That being said, the chance to encounter a Pet Gnome in PVP remains unchanged.)
We don’t have any intention of rolling back the awards you have gotten thus far, so enjoy your stashes. Thank you for your understanding as we make these changes, and happy matching!
Anecdotally, it seems higher outside of a GAP event. New meta could be to build a stash during gnome weekends, and use them at other times. Maybe not, though - they do nice things for the tracker.
Good response tbh. A nerf was needed but if there was any kind of a roll back that would have been me done with the game after I spent all day grinding the event. Still have enough verses for over 30 so I’m looking forward to getting those done still.
Necessary chgange that shoud’ve been present from the very beginning;
unfortunately, as others already mention, things going as usual - chosen few get all the stuff in the world (guild guardians from gold chests, high encounter rate when gnomes were first introduced) while those who are not there to grind the hell out at the very reset get, comparatively, little so little.
I know how you feel. I could have done more. If it wasn’t for verse 2 seemingly having a lower drop rate for me for some reason. I was able to get 30 of each verse (12 of second). But I managed to farm nearly 200 keys during that time. So I still made out like a bandit lol.
Just adding: I am not surprised by the nerf, but am disappointed.
I only got one GAP. It didnt give me enough verses for another. For the first time in ages I farmed explore. Three hours later I still didnt have enough verses. But no problem, I actually enjoy grinding if theres a reward to it. I know soon Ill be able to loop GAPs.
Andddd nope. No more looping. Not sure Ill bother with more grinding. Waiting to see exactly how much the rates changed.
