**Updated Oct 18** Tuning and Drop Rate Update Coming at 2pm PST

[Eagleknight]

I was thinking it already happened do to the lack of rare soul drops last night and this morning. Mabey, this was an early trick or treat joke.

All the game announcements are in PST ( Pacific Standard Time ) , some parts of USA/CANADA
check on google to find out which North-American state/province uses PST, that's it.
though this specific announcement has no specific time frame,but we at-least know what is the time zone.

California is pst.

Guys, I really don't think the change in rare soul drops is going to be that drastic. They definitely told us that it was going to be a small tweak (I can't be bothered right now to find the direct quote). I would guess that a small change would be something like 75% of the drop rate we currently enjoy. If that estimation is close to accurate, don't think it should cause this kind of widespread panic.

Remember the August update of drop tweaking. How can you not be worried.

Couldn't have said it better.

Eagle, would you rather open 50 souls a week with garbage or 5 worthy-ish ones? This is the real problem for me.

I could have swore it was stated that there would be no change in the rng of what a rare soul drops only that when new toons are added that those will have an adjusted drop rate. So to me less souls equals less chance to get rare characters that you still want. Please let me know if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure that's what was said.



Just checked on 10/6 Sparton said there is no change planned for the drop chance of opening souls with the exception of when new characters are added. To me this means that the rng will remain bad but now you will have less would to open. If I'm misinterpreting the post let me know.

This is my understanding also.

Many things were said, some unclear...lets just wait it out,shall we ?

With some of the new tuning updates and modes (especially daily challenges), you will have more opportunities to earn rare characters. In terms of the drop rates themselves, the repeats at each tier are mainly a result of the amount of content in the game, which we are currently in the process of expanding. We also have a feature in the works called "Sacrifice", which will allow you to make use of duplicate characters to earn rare rewards, including Legendary Souls, giving you even more opportunities to obtain high tier characters.

Noone speaks about the daily challenges for example, that will supposedly balance the lost rate of drops in the rifts.

One last note: while we do still want to give players Souls and Rare Souls from this feature (which will be really helpful when Sacrifice becomes available [bit of info about that here]), we have reduced the rate that they drop to balance the value of dungeons vs using Troopers.

I don't think the rare soul rate was reduced by a lot, but I can look at the delta and get back to you. I mainly wanted to throw it out there that it's changing because I know it did change.

Sparton knows it did change? It wasn't by a lot?


Don't panick yet
