You keep saying variations on this. Could you please actually point to a statement that would qualify as a lie?
This is the statement on the subject I’m aware of:
- Why is the game designed to make it so difficult to get ascension mats? What would make you think that the drop rate was too low or too high?
We had this question last year. [Petri: we have it every day!]
Big thing is to make sure that the game doesn’t end too quickly. This is a pretty heavy-handed way of making sure the game doesn’t end too quickly, so we’ll continue adding new way to get materials, but adding more mats into the game without breaking the essential experience for new players. But the pace is a bit slower than we’d like. Doing well in the new Raid Tournaments [formerly called weekly raid challenges] is one of the new avenues for new mats.
We haven’t made anything worse, but if you have a dry spell, I know how that feels. The odds are very very low for some items, so it’s not surprising that you see dry spells. Working on new features that have more way to get rare mats. The newest way are the Raid Tournaments, which hopefully goes full live in about a month. The third build just went to beta yesterday, and we hope that’s the last test build.
SG has explicitly said they will raise rewards again on the raid tournament once the kinks are worked out.
So…where is this lie you keep talking about?
