So… after a brief period of Gnome-a-palooza yesterday - which we hastily corrected, due to a queue forming outside the Vault door, with adventurers wanting to savagely mistreat poor Cedric Sparkelsack and take his stuff - we listened to how much you all seemed to enjoy lots of little Gnomish surprises in your battles. And, well… .we did too! So…
TL;DR - We’re putting more Gnomes back in.
In a little more detail, we’re changing Gnomes back to about 1 per 30 battles (close to what it was yesterday).
We’ve had to change the loot drop rates for gnomes to compensate though… there will still be all the larger prizes you got yesterday, but we’ve introduced some smaller rewards as well. So overall - the economy stays healthy - we get to punch more Gnomez in the face - and we still get a shot at the good rewards. That should be a win all round.
Happy Gnome-Hunting to all!
More Gnomez should be entering the server, ready to be slaughtered, within the next hour.
It was pretty low yesterday, and we had to adjust it downwards a bit with the new spawn rate.
HOWEVER, during Vault Events - currently planned once per month - both the Vault Key drop rate AND the Gnome spawn rate will receive a significant boost.
See, this is why I have such a love-hate relationship with this game. You guys do things that irritate me, like this “new” UI and then do things like give us the Gnomes back. That’s why it’s hard to complete love or hate you devs.
All in all, what I’m trying to say is thank you. And, yes, I have an odd way of showing it. Lol.
But, seriously, thank you for listening to us whiners and actually giving us back the Gnomes! Whoo!
