I'm glad it's not just me in the caves. Spent 3.5 million and not a single event pot.

One with the light that brightens the day of each individual so that he himself will have a good day.

I have double and triple checked the creatures. The potions ARE applied. I’ve made Hoofmaster aware and he’ll look at it as soon as he can.

.....even if only to confirm and help with feedback

If the drops are normal, why are you refunding an Epic potion?

 

I will  have my before and after photos of my gold in my bank and potions used, if it's working as you say, i'll believe you and go dump 297 million in the caves.  If it's not working like we have been assured, i'll expect a refund as well!

Looks like it’s only the special potions not dropping. Everything else is working correctly. However, Hoofmaster has told me it’s not a simple fix, so don’t try scavenging for the special potions and, once fixed, we’ll let you all know and we’ll keep the special potions out for longer.

I hope that, at a minimum, the NEW LE set is allowed to stay out as long as the special pots do (when they're fixed) - I wanna scavenge, but damned if I'm going once for the set and then again for the potions..


Homer : Marge, don't discourage the boy. Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals .. except the weasel.

 

Eddie Izzard : The National Rifle Association say that guns don't kill people, people do. But I think the gun helps, you know ? I think it helps. I think just standing there going "BANG" - that's not going to kill too many people, is it ?

 

I don't mean to sound pessimistic, but it seems that everything I eat lately turns to poo ...

Keeping this quote, since he didn't mention LE items, I went out for them....

I hope this gets resolved and tested by more individuals at the HCS... I believe we, the community, need to be reassured that we can participate in any event or future event without being afraid of bugs or unfair advantages. Scavenging has always been an attractive way to risk your resource in order to make bank and come up on top. I personally tried scavenging in the past two events (mirkys (new) and wily (new)) and risked 5 million gold both time, but both times I never gotten any new or even any old legendary gear drops. Both the times I used the recommended gold and never gotten any drops. Now I'm just waiting for the big gold spenders to just farm them so I can buy them off auction because I know there's no value for me to do scavenging.

 

Q) Could the recommended gold amount be set too low?

 

Q) What's the actual rate? Can we drop 10x or even 25x the recommended gold for a guarantee battle with (a) or any legendary creature?

The recommended gold is right for the critters but the inherent flaw in the caves is that the more you spend per scavenge attempt, the higher the number of creatures you'll encounter, thus lowering your chances of actually meeting the one you want, and that's before the VERY low drop rates that they have.

 

Scavenging SHOULD be split into bands - but will it ? - I somehow doubt it, given I've been suggesting this for years now.

Have lost count how many times and suggestions have been made to improve the caves from new recipes and too improving the existing ones as most are just dumped when got from the caves ...they was designed as a gold sink and did there job well but you get more junk now then you do something you want ...you are actually beter off paying more in the AH then trying yourself most of the time

Why would they? They are working correctly.

The special pots are at a significantly lower gold cost. LEs are working correctly, so why would they need to stay out?

Because, whilst scavenging for the LE, you also have the chance of getting the pots too from the same cave ... 

At the moment, you'll ONLY get the LE, not the special pots 

 

and

 

When the pots are fixed (depending on when), you won't get the LE too.

The gist of what I'm saying is, I spend 45K / scavenge attempt and get a (remote) chance of an LE drop or a "special" pot - that's what happens "normally" when scavenging.

 

I want a chance of getting either / or - not just one :)

Hi there everyone.

The issue with Special Event potions has now been resolved. We shall keep the LEs in the Caves with the Potions until 13:00 on Wednesday the 21st of August.

So you say they are working correctly and they don't need extended, but then you extend them.  You also said on discord "We'll sort the event potions out be the LEs are all working correctly.

 

For someone who DID go out and spend a LOT of gold while they LE's were WORKING, this is a slap in the face.
