What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:
last week I found a treasure guardian room in about 50% of the dead ends in Underspire. This week, I have found 10 dead ends but not a single guardian room. Even with extreme bad luck, I would have still expected about 2 discoveries.
Reading the forum and hearing from guild mates, some have similar experience, but others still get the same drop rates as previous weeks. So this issue seems to be intermittent.
How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?
This week after reset
Steps to make it happen again
Play Underspire using Android, and compare with playing Underspire with another OS/device
This is happening on iOS also, I did find a Sentinal troop in one of the dead end rooms, however, there was no Guardian chest, just the same lame loot haul as the other rooms.
Bait and switch?
Introduce new feature, make it seem worth exploring beyond the reach of the 7/6 rule, then reduce the odds of Sentinels appearing and see how the peasants spend gems hunting them regardless.
I’m more inclined to think bug instead of feature. Maybe the maze generator has some counter for placing guardian battles in each section, one that somehow fails to get cleared on weekly reset? That might explain why everybody at first sees a lot of guardian battles, then next to none the weeks after.
honestly its probably placing treasure guardians in orphaned rooms for some reason, but yea, if the treasure guardian isnt at least around 50% to appear per dead end then they may as well not exist. I had 0 in the first 3 areas last week, and only 4 total having explored about 90% of my underspire. Very disappointing considering the 2nd underspire of last week had 3 treasure guardians in area 1 for me.
I submitted a ticket late last week after my Underspires reset for a second time on my two accounts and I started seeing only dead ends and no sentinels. (Prior to reset I had 6 and 8 visible that I planned to circle back and complete later)
After completing the Underspires last week, I went searching for Sentinel rooms (Not worth the gems) and did manage to find 2 out of 34+ dead ends.
It was confirmed in the response to the ticket that this is not a bug and we shouldn’t expect a sentinel in every dead end.
0/10 sentinels v dead ends this week Not a large sample, but still consistent with my experience of these rooms being far to rare to be enjoyable content.
