Unfortunately, it's true. I do not have problems with it really, because I get 5 shards every 3 - 4 runs through Powerslave.
How many daily players have you guys lost recently? NF?
Usually "event" threads have about 5 pages on day 2. That hasn't been the case in a while now. Just curious...
Overall the forums have been a lot slower than usual.
I have to laugh seeing some of the complaints about this event. An event that grants you rewards for normal play is cool with me. Drop rates are a little low, but so what. Doubtful I'll get a toon from the souls that is a game changer, but other than the NF flavor-of-the-month toon not many are. Even then, a great toon isn't going to make a tremendous difference for a decent player who already has a good roster.
Last month people complained the events were too stacked and burning up resources. Now complaints about an event that really doesn't take any extra resources. I like it because after making two vortex fills I need a little recharge on gold and shards. Enjoy it, and if all you get is 3* from the souls it's still essence towards a vortex fill.
Absolutely 100% agree with most everything, Askora.
You're playing anyway and you're complaining you get MORE for playing? Really ungrateful and entitled behavior.
I don't think drop rates are bad though considering it's only 40 fragments needed (rather than 100-150).
Do the drop rates change depending where you farm?
When I run powerslave I noticed a drop every 5 runs or so. But if I run a lol x dungeon I swear there is a drop every other run.
I tend to farm Rapid Fire (Battlefield madness) or Circle of Fire (Underworld madness) and I get fragment drops every 2 or 3 run throughs. The fragments are kind of not my focus though.
I pick these levels because they are fast, only 1 hit needed, 5 SOT, and mindless on autoplay to level up characters (with the xp boost and 1 Eddie it's ~6k experience each run) . I'm really more looking for 3 star evo shards and 2 star evo runes, which aren't dropped often enough - I have a ton of maxed level 3 talismans and no 2 star runes to level them up. Battle field drops more of these evo items in my experience. Powerslave is good but just doesn't drop the things I need.
I’ve been getting really good drop on LoL, but not so much on the regular campaign.
I need to farm LoL anyway for Evo and power-up shards, so works out niclely. I must have received 5 souls already...2 Warriors, 2 Magus, 1 Sentinel.
I'm actually really impressed with the drop rates. I've never had this many fragment drops on any event. And usually you need a lot more. Of course, these souls never give anything good though. But I'll happily use all these 3*s for sacrifices.
