Free mutation orb for some, nothing for others

Tic tac tic tac tic tac tic tac…

Yea feels a bit unfair ay

It’s too much for me sorry.

We were happy to compete in the “race to Dynasty codex lvl 10” and now we basically only have 10 orbs to use, while other groups have 20. They will be able to run at least 5 time Dynasty lvl 10, get 40,000+ Umbral Shard ahead for Genesis. The race is basically over for us, simply because we started on Jan, 27 insteed of Jan, 25.

Not to mention that they will also get a considerable advance in their PvP gear with so many additionnal shard.

We’re just permanently 1 week behind everyone else in term of Umbral Shard progression. It’s soooo unfair, I don’t know what to say. I have 1 orb left in my inventory and my Dynasty codex is lvl 1. Other faction best group already have reached codex 5 without single orb and they have 4 in stock now. They will basically be hundreds of thousands of shard ahead of us, because of a simple give-away of 2 mutated orb.

I’m done talking about it. If I don’t get the 2 orbs like everyone else I’ll just quit the game for a while.

they should completely remove the spheres. This whole globe thing has been going on too long now. People have said since the beta that they don’t want this. And we believed and waited for them to remove it, but they still haven’t been removed. As a result, they did not increase their player base. they suffered a 95% loss of players

Hmm. So that was their “make good”? You sure? I logged in and had two extra orbs and I did not run a mutated dungeon until days after they came out. I just thought they gave everyone 2 orbs because, well, who the hell knows why they do anything?

Dude it’s going to take like 3 or 4 weeks to hit 625. Probably less if you’re consistently golding 7-10. Re-lax.

We are golding 9s without any issues. We did golden 3 9s Lazarus so far.

But we do not have anymore keys. We only have 5 keys for Dynasty and other groups have 15 thanks to that “make good”.

Unfair giveaway.

Wow how awesome is that. In the meantime my cooldown on making a new mutation orb says I have another 47 hours to go still from the one i made after last weeks patch. I get no orb until Sunday.

Orbs need to go. This whole game is stupid.

the make good keys from day 1 were compensated? I didn’t get any and used mine on day 1 already.

I agree. Pre-mades dominate over PUGs. They can finish M10, no problems, while we are stuck at M2. Just another reason why this shitty orb system needs to go.

A tiny bit offtopic but:

It’s way more weeks for the majority of players between 10-50 weeks. Only 2% (rouchly 18k players conducted from the 900k player peak, it’s currently maybe <5k players per region) of the player even have stonecutting on 200 which is required for the second orb per week. And a majority of players don’t have the expertise required.

People can be happy if the are able to run anything higher then M6.

No.
Those people that ran their orbs day 1 got hosed and got compensated/will get compensated.
If you weren’t one of them you get nothing, just like myself.
You’re crying that someone is going to get more shards than you? Can you be more selfish?
Have you tried stomping your feet and slamming your bedroom door while screaming “it’s not fair”?

Don’t worry a lot of those same people bought orbs that got Lag detected and failed or their own orbs got lag detected and failed.

Does this really matter, this recycled content (mutations) is just a distraction to keep us distracted for a few weeks. Now some will be distracted for a week less than others.

when has compensation been fair? I mean we just went thru 3 months of 90% reduced housing taxes… I saved like 400g a week on my t1 house, while ppl who had t4 house got months of saving 1800g a week…

I think it’s working fine, I’ve got all the orbs I could ever need and can get into a dungeon anytime I want

Thats cool. Maybe you misunderstand what I am saying. Its a one week cooldown to buy an orb off the vendor. My week should be up but it said 47 hours to go still. Obviously that isn’t working properly.

No they don’t got hosed. Not at all. Actually they even got quite happy since they dropped hundreds of very rare Named Weapon they shouldn’t have droped, let alone 20 per run. The couple of 590 items they didn’t got in the useless chest is nothing, compare to that.

The compensation is over the top. It is disproportionate comparing to the loss. If you can’t understand that a couple of chests that gave you 500 gs items insteed of 590 does NOT worth 2 additionnal mutations orb for the week. And that giving additionnal mutation orb give unfair advantage regarding Codex Advancement and overall Umbral Shard amount idk…

It’s basically like you suffer from a bug that make 5,000g disapear from your wallet, and they give you 200,000g back in compensation. How is it fair for those who didn’t suffer the bug ?

Nevermind, so I guess now if there is any problematic bug appearing in the game, the call is to make sure you suffer a little bit from the bug, to make sure you didn’t pass on disproportionated compensation you may miss otherwise. Yes, nice. I’ll remember it.

Doesn’t change the fact that our rival teams pushing hard mutations have enough key to basically farm 9s and 10s, worth thousands and thousands of Umbral Shard, while we are stuck grinding the codex because they have 10 more keys.

Over the top compensation is unfair. If you can’t avoid over-compensation that give unfair advantage, then you either don’t compensate or give to anyone, that’s all. And 2 mutation orb for a couple of bugged expedition chest is over the top. Not a single player in my faction got a bugged orb “lag detected”. They did ran their orb normally, they get codex advanced and Umbral Shard. It’s definitely a case of unfair over-compensation.

But yeah, keep thinking I’m selfish to think that it’s bad to give unfair over the top compensation.

Btw answer this separately : Yes I do, considering those who got more shard than me are my potential adversary in War.

Again, Unfair Advantages is bad.

What does shards have to do with war? The scaling between 600 and 625 is barely even noticeable. You are just being a huge baby. Stop exaggerating like it’s game breaking or something.
