I have noticed with other events as well but this one is SUPER noticeable.

Can we please stop changing the encounter rates in explore when certain quests are active.

Multiple times I'll have the "Defeat 10 Large or Small (Non-Lion) Felines" from Bast. Three to four full energy bars later, not one non-lion feline. Next day? 5 show up in one energy bar.

The same thing happened with the "Defeat 15 Lions", suddenly no extra lions were being encountered and the only lion were lionesses. Then the next roll over when the quests have reset, suddenly I get 5 male lions show up in a row.

Then there are these new quests which from my cursory searching has the same issue where they encounters needed DO NOT SHOW UP.

I shouldn't have to spend 800sb daily just to get a quest that CAN be completed.



This suggestion has 24 supports and 0 NO supports.

100% support this - I got lucky with the snake-eyed-lions the first time but unless the quest is kill 10snakes/20 enemies, I swap it til its one of those two. Anything else is just a complete waste of energy and its annoying that its super obvious the rates plummet!!

Normally I would say anything of this nature is just confirmation bias, but it does genuinely feel like the encounter rate tanks lol, lion encounters are usually not rare

As you said the only encounter is a lioness, which... also lowers your karma when you fight them. So Good karma kings are just getting fucked.

I'd kind of like to test it, actually. It might be confirmation bias, because I can't fathom why this would even be a "feature".

So I decided to write down what encounters I get. My quest was to destroy 10 statues. I had 3 x 100% use of Energy.
I found ONE Statue. Only 6 Slithering Minions for a total of 12 whole KB.

I'm sorry, but this event really sucks and honestly really makes me not want to play.
Either boost the encounters or admit that the encounter rates change depending on which quest is active. Cause this is near unplayable.

Considering you get 100% energy every 2.5 hours with how bad the encounter rate is for this quest you will need to wait 67.5 hours to complete this quest WITHOUT any energy-boosting items.

These quests in their current forms are IMPOSSIBLE for people without GB/hoards of energy items to complete. Honestly this is disheartening to see and how would newer players feel, considering they wouldn't even be able to complete the quest.
