I apologize on behalf of the gnomes. They seem to have wandered over to my account. I’ve asked them to get back in your game, but they’re not listening to me. (I’m sorry the RNG isn’t favoring you this time around. Hopefully next time will be better—it probably can’t be worse, at least.) ---

121 gnomes so far and I’m having a day off from GOW, as for my yesterdays playtime… classified… ---

No at all, poor drop rates for the time spent. And only one Vault key. Cant expect to get rare troops from the vault with a few vault keys. ---

Thanks, but this doesnt come down to luck only. The last few events have been frustrating too, just not as much as this. ---

Which mode and team are you currently playing? I will give it a go. ---

Same as before. Explore 1/12 depending on whether I want mythstones or tokens. At this point I am nervously looking over my shoulder at every gnome, because I feel like I’ve gotten _too_ lucky and I’m waiting for the cosmic correction. Good luck! 🤞🍀 ---

Same here, lvl 1 explores yesterday. Give it a try, I’m sure your luck will turn, with still missing the HOR, your luck must be turning soon, don’t lose faith! ---

Already spent at least 10 hours or more doing explores, the gnome rarly seems to drop, and it just feels like something is very off. Without managing to reach the smallest flow, it is all a waste of time. ---

update @Grundulum 2 Vault keys found the last 3 hours of play. No new troops, but a major ascension orb. ---

For me: feels like I’m getting a decent gnome rate, but a _rotten_ run of RNG luck on pets dropped from Pet Rescues; most of them dropping only a single copy of the pet. ---

At the end of Sunday gnome rate has evened out for me and is more or less the same I’ve seen in the past - not the best and not the worst; so, in my case, it was just really unlucky streak in the beginning. ---

Same here. After the horrific luck on Friday that I posted earlier in this thread, my luck has greatly improved. Out of ~1100 total Adventure Board, Arena, Explore and PvP battles this weekend, I’ve now gotten 8 VKs from gnomes plus 6 pity VKs. So that’s pretty close to average luck.
