😭  
I have been nothing but excited and I haven’t found a single gnome…

Devs:  
We don’t want crazy rewards, we want ANYTHING different to happen during gameplay. That makes it exciting! When I read gnomes were spawning about every 30-40 battles, that felt right. I’m over 100 without any and this just feels wrong. Besides, the gnomes themselves drop random rewards… SO… by making the spawn rate astronomically low, you are sort of double gating access to new features like the Gnome Vault. Should it be rare to get a GV key? Absolutely! Should I have multiple opportunities to toss the dice at a chance for one per day? IMHO… ABSOLUTELY!

This is such a sucker punch that tired players did not need, and there are so so many tired players.

This is the final nail in the coffin for me.  
Not expecting anything else from the devs from now on.

They drove people away with Guild Wars. And now this. Let em kill their own game if that’s what they want. (Oh, and I opened just over 1000 event chests and didn’t get Divine Ishbaala or any mythic this week)

Replace: “Nobody’s Fool” with " No Gnomes For you"

Enjoy. 😂

I got it on a level 700 account with 22 event keys.

Chests are the only true RNG left in the game.

I got super excited for Gnomes when I read the patch notes. Then I looked at the rest of the forum and my excitement dropped to zero.

Instead of nerfing the encounter rate, cut the rewards to 1/3 of what they currently are and put the encounter rate to what it was at release. Then, during the Gnome events, return the rewards to what they are now without touching the encounter rate. That would maintain the FUN element of finding them now, and still make finding them more special during events.

And ban @Tacet from the forums for 24 hours every time an update is released. 😁😜

I over slept. So no gnomes for me.  
No real changes to the game to be excited about until Monday now. So unfortunately… Back to the real world for me for the rest of the week. Not gonna spend 40 hours in the game to see a Gnome once… Oh and if it gets away before I can kill him… Well… Should I start a crowd funding page to buy me a new phone before that happens? Lol

As a form of catharsis, fan lore will give the gnomes an extremely dark backstory:

Cedric is a prince who lost his birthright to the throne when the king and queen were assassinated in a military coup d’etat. Driven mad by rage, Cedric releases deadly pathogens, which he keeps in his sparklesack, that devastate his race. The treasure gnomes are former Sparklesack agents psychologically traumatized by the war crimes they committed. Cedric hides in the vault with the vaccine, but the hero is too late. The gnomish population is destined for extinction because they could not find the key in time.

Gnomes are there as a bonus, not as something to farm…

The bug (i.e. wrong ratio) should have been certainly avoided if a Beta was done.

So what did this update actually do besides introduce a new currency and an event locked behind gems and a new troop locked behind grinding? 😕 Oh yeah, the menus changed… 😃

I’ll see for myself on Monday I guess. If it doesn’t entertain I’m gonna take a hiatus for a few months. Bored as hell of this. Level 1000something, VIP level 5 , have mostly everything, great guild, etc. Just bored.

I just got one in pvp. Tact got one in arena. Yet to hear of anyone getting one in explore. Pretty sure the odds in explore are zero. Unless someone finds one soon.
