When did the secret Nerf go live on Orb of Assension?

tech Suport doesn’t even answer about that … What are they hiding from us about those blue orbs ?
If no dev or tech support answers about that perhaps they don’t want to admit that the drop rate of those blue orbs is really too unfair to push you into spending gems and scoring …
It’s too low and they know it alright, as we all now that we’re getting scammed each time we pop a chaos orb …
I ended considering green and purple orbs as … just crap … They ain’t valuable at all …

Disagree, clan orbs are better than wisdom which is all I ever seem to get :-1:

What people seem to forget is at 40k seals clan orbs translate to

Minor (300) = 15 Gem Keys
Major (1500) = 75 Gem Keys

which i would say is much more of value than a growth or a wisdom orb.

I already got too much Gems Keys for seals to be something valuable. I use them once in the month after everything else to get the new mythic and that’s pretty much it …

Both answers were off-topic so from now on I’m only replying to people who talk about the right subject : which is the secret nerf on the blue orbs drop rates that’s unfaire and disgusting …
They don’t want people to get Zuul’Goth or somethin ?

There was never a nerf. Blue orbs have always been super rare. You may have been on a lucky streak of getting them and now going through a dry spell. Think of Minor Ascension orbs like getting a Mythic troop. Think of Major Ascension orbs like getting the Mythic troop you want.

Well it shouldn’t be as rare as a mythic the others ain’t that rare … Chances to get them should be equal …

The replies weren’t off topic, you mentioned other orbs and your opinion of value of them. As that information was debateable, it prompted responses. If you don’t appreciate being challenged then avoid posting :wink:

Ascension is what everyone wants, if you can’t get that then clan is the next best thing because of their value, followed by wisdom then growth. Obviously that’s my opinion and I’m sure I’m not alone in thinking the same :+1:

I agree they shouldn’t.
Every orb should be equal in weight considering that chaos orbs are given as a “reward” so often.
Chaos orbs are super loot crate like to me. There’s just a ton of loop holes that evidently make them okay.

But I believe that the devs see a Major Ascension Orb is like getting 190 treasure gnomes at once.

Which is also why it takes 20 minor growth orbs to craft a Major.

In 2-3 years when I’m able to craft Zuul’Goth… I’m not sure if I will. It will come to supporting the completionist in me. Or supporting a bad idea that was clearly from 505 to get us to spend more gems and therefore hopefully more money. Just for a chance to get an orb that you need.
I was the first to craft Xathenos in the entire game. I didn’t mind paying for it cause I knew exactly what I would get for my money. I refuse to spend money on chance…I learned early in life I suck in casinos and I don’t need it from a match 3 game.

If you still need traitstones and hate farming them, then you might prefer wisdom, at least for the minor orbs.

Today I prefer clan orbs, but when I needed traitstones for kingdom stars I valued a minor wisdom at 10 arcane traitstones * 15 gems = 150 gems, and a minor clan at 15 gem keys * 9 gems = 135 gems.

But a major wisdom might have been worth only 250, less than a major clan.

Where does the 15 gems valuation come from on Arcane traitstones?

Same here. Only green orbs, Two major green ones and one major Brown one this week. :frowning:

Just my personal estimate back then. I figured a glory key was worth maybe 2 gems to me back then, and looked at the cost of traitstones in the glory shop. Maybe some other things too, and I might have pushed the number a little high because I don’t like Explore.

Just wanted a rough guess to help make decisions like which tier to buy in the shop, I wasn’t scientific. I suppose if all game modes were enjoyed equally, it might be possible to use a spreadsheet and a stopwatch, and do a decent job estimating values.

Have not gotten a major ascension orb in 2 months. About to destroy my house.

A bit earlier for this, but hopefully it’ll avoid worse problems.
