I knew this would happen XD I got a vault key on my first gnome appearance though so I’m not triggered yet… :wink:

Yup they don’t want us to have rewards thus, is why they keep nerfing them on ya… Let’s implement 5 more things but let’s give you LESS

And if the screenshots I posted are correct, they’ve also ramped up the traitstone costs massively as well.

the last 1 shows cost for all 3 traits, if all 3 are available.

Basically, shows you the cost to fully trait it from where its at

If you’ve noticed over time the devs never really do anything that pleases the fanbase, just look at the last patch or two. Half the community or more quit the game and I swear they are doing things to try to get the other half to leave. This game isn’t making any money; it’s obvious with the prices they have on stuff in the store. Only a moron would pay those prices for the handful of stuff they deliver. The only thing I found decent was one weapon the crescendo and even it was overpriced.

Take the nerf to dragon soul and other cards; do you see MAB getting nerfed? Hell they even made a card that summons her now. lol We all know who loves MAB by now on the dev team and sees to it her precious MAB isn’t blocked or stopped by anything useful like the Dragon soul was. Don’t worry impervious units will be next I’m sure.

Why did you start to dislike Khorvash? Bc I assume it was about him. If anything we know now that Ishbala had to be the one behind all the riots. Power-crazy, rotten priestess with beautifull facade. She was probably the one that hired Amira. For the gods sake, she appeared the same week as some mafia thugs :joy: . The title of the consort changes nothing, it’s probably customary that high priestess becomes also an emperors consort :wink: . They have no children she’s probably not even interested in Khorvash, only becoming the actual ruler :smirk:

Gnome spawn rate is ridiculously low! Make it spawn more often and lower the rewards. Hell don’t give gems for defeating it just give gold and vault keys. It seems you have a better chance of winning the lottery than finding a gnome.

If they spawn more often and with lower rewards, then they’re not special punctuating occurrences anymore. I’m happy for them to be rare with large rewards.

The real problem is that the screw-up with the initial spawn rate has already set peoples’ expectations - it’s actually a strong cognitive bias called “anchoring” - so now the devs have painted themselves into a corner. The only reasonable solution that I can see is to slightly increase their spawn rate, still keeping it at the same order of magnitude, and announce that it’s “been increased” in response to feedback…then just wait out the storm for as long as it takes people to forget about the “bugged” initial rate (which will be a long time, since the internet never forgets, but you can’t do anything about that).

Personally? The real concern for me is that the “bugged” rate reeks of “oh crap, we left the ‘artificially increased for testing purposes’ rate from Internal Test Build when we pushed it to Live”. If that’s the case, then it’s a big, huge log added to my “The Devs’ Production Pipeline Is A Mess” fire, which has serious long-term implications.

I’m simply stunned at the number of people that are surprised at this issue. It’s as if no one has been playing this game longer than a week. All things considered based on past update problems this Gnome issue is awful PR, but very minor.

Point Number 3 from the 3.3 Preview. “Not to their credit: There is no way they have a proper test environment, and I don’t know if they will ever build one.”

At this rate reward should be

20 gem keys
20 event keys
100 gems
10 000 souls
1 vault key

Yeah play 250 explore to see 2000 souls is so exciting

You want to make it super rare but at least make me feel like i won the jackpot when i see one

Man, imagine is that missed it and are now a couple of orbs behind the power curve.
Let’s face it, now it’s just a rare novelty.

Imagine facing a gnome when testing a silly new team…

I’ll be scared to play anything but meta decks now

So far, post Nerf, I have done over 300 Explore battles (Ive been counting on a Calculator) and no Gnome.

If this is the norm, I’m going to be pissed, especially, due to the Gnome’s rewards. Pre Nerf, one gave me 500 souls and another 10,000 gold. 500 souls, I can easily get in a battle or two with a Soul Farming team. 10,000 gold may seem like a lot, but if I’m doing hundreds of battles in Explore to find one Gnome, him giving me 10,000 gold isn’t much as I’ve already made a lot more in just trying to find him.

Oh, and let’s not even get started on the possibility that if, after hundreds of battles, I find him and he runs away. Lets just say, if that happens, there will be a nice Controller Size hole in my wall.

I began doing explore immediatly after the patch came out,and i only got 1 Gnome out of 300+ explore.I done 223 explore today atm,and still only 1 total gnome.The rewards were not that big to make them almost non existant,not to mention that this game has the worst gacha system by far with Mythics being insanely rare,so how am i supposed to catch up is beyond me.And yeah i was a member of Intrim before the age of BlacRhino,that was years ago,before base mythics even existed,i took a break,came back,saw that nothing changed and the only new thing(GW)was just a worse pvp for the people,that already has everything.Came back 2 weeks before 3.3 to prepare,but now i doubt the raids and invasions will be any different in terms of reward than GW(The very top,that still has like 20k gems,and every troop gets everything,lower bracket rewards are horrible.)Sorry for being such a negativ asshole,but i cant help it.

@Orochi2018 you not the only one upset. The drop rate was okay they only
Needed to nerf the rewards. Now you can play an entire week without getting any vault key, this is ridiculous

Edit: 3h no gnome this is so fun!!!

And the worse thing is…

It’s all aggravating the issue, Alpheon said they will monitor the spawn rate and possibly make adjustments…

Sirrian talked in the past about the “Carrot and the Stick”, but right now it looks more like the “Fox and Grapes” fable…

What’s next? Complaining about the gnome spawn rate will become a Bannable Offense? :expressionless:
