SEPARATION

Addressing Concerns About RNG
RNG can be a fun experience. It creates constant variety in sandbox games, fun encounters and sometimes, excitement similar to winning the lottery. We - the devs and admins - play games too. Browser games, MMOs, mobile games, simulations, builders, Blizzard’s legendary worlds, Bethesda’s creations — we love gaming too. RNG adds a touch of excitement and surprise to general gameplay and is found in many games.

However, it can lead sometimes to frustration.

We understand that and we don’t want to see you guys frustrated. We want to balance things out, in a few ways.

We can confirm that the rates of acquiring the Mukombero item did in fact increase after Tier 3 was opened, and the item was always intended to be very rare, as stated in the news - it was coded to be wayyy more common than Solaris base encounter, and we think the numbers proved it. However, we can understand why some members are upset over the rarity of the item, when they have put extra energy and effort into finding it. We value your concerns.

From now on, these drops will continue to be found at very rare chances in explore during their respective months. However, we will also introduce epic quests for each player to complete once per account during the months they are released. This means every player who is willing to put in the work, and dedicate time to a very large, demanding quest, will be guaranteed one of these items, in addition to being able to find them in explore during their event months (if very lucky!).

The minimum requirements to start the quest will be high. However, once a quest is started, you have unlimited time to complete it.

The first one will start in July, for Interstellar Remnants. We look forward to seeing how many of you are able to complete the quest!

We definitely were frustrated, and some of us felt that there was an unfair slant to certain people. I think I speak for all of us who felt snubbed when I say we are grateful that you addressed our concerns.

I cannot state how happy I am to see the RNG trend addressed. This kind of solution was exactly what I had in mind. Rare random events are really exciting to come across, but when there's no way to obtain the items from those events aside from extreme luck which can't be swayed, they become very frustrating. Both the rare events and alternatives to obtaining the items can coexist and I believe this is a fantastic way to have very rare event items going forward.

I'm very excited to see what July's quest has in store and can't wait to take a stab at it for Interstellar.

I like the idea of it being a difficult quest

rare =/= the same as very rare in my book, but ymmw. (To give an example, I'd call breeding a primal rare, but breeding a felis or smilus very rare.) Sometimes people read the same word and think different things, especially when one or several language barriers are involved. I'll blame what happened here on that.

As for improvement suggestions, back when I contacted you about the RNG seeming to have ended up being misleading for a number of people and thus having bred a large fraction of frustration you asked me to wait and see about your new solution since you were still brainstorming it. I got a really good impression from you back then so I decided to do just that. I still don't know any details about what the quests you have in mind will really look like so I can only say that the idea of the solution seems good.

I feel like the shift from RNG model to a quest will me much more welcomed and likely more fun. Instead of wasting GB and hours on what feels like a hopeless goal everyone will have quests that they can actively work towards. This has the chance to be much more fun since you will be interacting with characters within the world. I can only imagine too that putting the time and effort into these quests means it will be more difficult to gather the items needed for that months typical event items, which can be a good trade off. I'm glad you listened to the community as it seems like everyone, old and new, were upset by it.

I'm hopeful about the epic quest system. All I hope is that it doesn't require things like "5k stat king", as not everyone will have access to those. However I wouldn't mind requirements that are doable even as a new player, even if hard.


Admin Response:
We won't require a 5k stat king <3
