Hey Frogs,
it's so easy to see that you are try to fool us with the lower droprate of the yellow bricks, during an event with new awakenable gunner toons (Navigator Eddie).
If you are so incompetent to balance the droprates, give us the possibility to change them into the ones we need.
This is the only farmgame I know without such options.
Thank you for nothing!

What is the data that supports that yellow evo shards are dropping at lower rates? What and how many dungeon battles have you done this new season? What are the statistical drops before this season?

Not gonna lie, in labirynth they just kinda feeeeeel like they drop less. 36 bricks in 60 runs feels below average all things considered

20 bricks in 60 runs for me.

Maybe you have to follow the Yellow Brick Road...

Just keep your eye open for Dorothy.

My ears are burning, someone must be asking for data!

Over my last 806 Labyrinth runs, I had 512 yellow, 538 purple, and 562 colourless. Only counting the 305 runs since the recent update, there are 204 yellow, 200 purple, and 206 colourless. Their drop chance ratio hasn't changed, you've just been unlucky. It will hopefully even out for you over a few more keys.

He got bricks that were not yours and could never have been yours... but it certainly seems like he stole ‘em from you regardless.

Must be in Dorothy’s inner circle.

You can't go by one or 2 keys worth of data for an overall trend. As everything in this game it runs in streaks and it depends on how they fall for you
An example. Running close to 500 insane event dungeon I pulled 13 space talisman while a clanmate only pulled 5 from a similar number of runs. What would you say is the correct drop rate?

Yellow bricks only drop from labyrinth, gangland and airstrip dungeons. Gangland drops one at a time, airstrip isn't guaranteed to drop evo shards in every run. That makes labyrinth the only bet to get them. Red, green and purple drop in plentiful amounts in frozen wasteland so farming for them isn't an issue as long as you have enough ironite. Blue bricks at least drop from 3 frontier dungeons (samurai, mystic, powerslave) in decent quantities. Therefore it feels like yellow drops less unless you are farming labyrinth.

I do suggest to remove those colorless bricks from frontier dungeons altogether. They drop in cosmos levels, cosmic LOL dungeon and even from awakening souls. They only dilute the reward pool from these frontier dungeons.

I ran just under 1k lab battles and pulled alittle over 600 yellow evo shards.

Trying to farm yellow bricks and receive purple ones gives the idea of lower drop rate. Just like Powerslave dungeon and blue and green stuff.

To me, it is very simple "problem" to solve: restrict dungeon prizes to dungeon limitations:

- Powerslave: only green bricks
- Samurai: only red bricks
- Mystic: only blue bricks
- Labyrintht: only yellow bricks
- Infernal: only purple bricks

This way players could farm exactly the brick color they looking for. If devs worry about being too easy, then keep colorless bricks to dilute the rewards.

This exactly same logic was used to ask for 2 new BNW dungeons, to separate one for each class at the last and only Q&A. Although devs have said it was simple to implement, nothing changes until now.

There may be a few problems with class specific dungeons. If you dont have that particular key you would have to spend resources to purchase keys. With dungeons dropping multi colors that at least gives you options especially if you dont have the toons for fast times. Most agree the mystic dungeon is the least favorite to run.

Sorry, because I fail to explane my thought properly. My ideia it to change only the 5 dungeons I mentioned, keeping the other places like gangland and airstrip (Raven's Altar drops all 6 bricks? I not sure about that).

Its is about dungeons restricted to one single class rewarding the correspondent brick class. Other dungeons, with other restrictions, may continue as the where designed.
