Posted on 2019-04-05 12:45:48

Community Update:
As we mentioned before, aside from event news and the 2nd Friday of the month being focused on coding/art updates all at once, all other Fridays are centered around the community!

SEPARATION

Official Lioden Raffle
LINK - this is our Official Lioden Raffle. Everyone gets a chance to win a rare prize + something extra for runner ups. It's a very minimal ticket price, 1 ticket per account to make it fair! Good luck!
This raffle will automatically end on 2019-04-12 00:00:00.


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!

"....and the item was always intended to be very rare, as stated in the news...."

Can you link me to where this was stated? I looked through every post you guys made regarding the ferus at least twice and nowhere it was called "very rare". (I remember wondering about that since those releases usually are very rare to begin with and also stated as such and ferus didn't have it.)

I'm also sorry to see this is the way you guys ultimately chose to approach what happened. If you play so much you surely must have come upon the extremely frustrating ways of how RNGs often work in practise before. Comparing a one moth or less a year chance to random loot drops or enemy encounters isn't exactly fair.


Admin Response:
Of course we can provide links!

March's event news post mentioned the following.
"Tier 2 will unlock a special, rare encounter that will guarantee a new, unique breeding item. Mukombero's effects, coupled with special breeding circumstances, will let you breed a new Primal variation: Ferus.
Unlocking Tier 3 will boost the rare encounter's rate!"


The Ferus information news post mentioned the following, as well.
"Once Tier 2 is unlocked, a rare encounter will appear in Explore. The encounter chance will be raised once Tier 3 is unlocked!"

If you have any ideas of ways we can better adjust this system before its release, you're always welcome to post a topic in our Game Development suggestion forums. :)

Hmm, the quests sound interesting. Can I ask—how difficult are these going to be? Like, let's say in comparison to the lioness quest; are they everyday events like lioness claiming, explore steps, etc., or item gathering of more uncommon items....Can we get some kind of comparison for what to expect?


Admin Response:
We'll have more details for you once it gets closer to an event that has a rare RNG drop, such as Interstellar Remnants in July! :)

I'm excited for the RNG change! :3 As someone who clicked through the Mukombero encounter by accident, I'm glad there's a chance to find it outside of the event. >w<

Edit:
I guess not, since Katze said it's not possible to find it outside of march still..The news post is just not clear I guess x-x
