Hi Cows

 

When might we see the next global event where the rewards are the fragment stashes rather than the chests containing uber potions?

 

I for one would actually prefer to see a lot more of these events rather than the potion reward events, I think most will agree that they actually embraced the composing concept a lot more having received a bumper selection of each fragment type from the event. Perhaps in a couple of weeks ,therefore allowing me to accrue some more stam :P

 

Just thought I would get my request in ahead of time.

 

Cheers

 

Davros

Hi there.

They are intended to happen more frequently and I intend on running one very soon. Was just letting the initial events chests run down a bit. Will be halving the number of frags at least from the prize chests and increasing the Community total.

I have suggested in other topic instead of Stashes given fragments of all types when open, it would be better if players can choose 1 of types that suit them best. I mean for the global events where the rewards are chests containing potions we would choose 1 of potions from each chest.

I think fragement types other than common are no really run down enough. But commons are. For players like

Well, the lions share of common frags seem to come more from the stashes dropped by the Beastie. The rewards will stick as they were, just a much smaller quantity. (About half).

Not a bad idea.

Aren't these conflicting? Need more frags! Need to burn more frags!

I personally benefit either way but will devalue junk further for the low level farmers. I have not had to hunt commons since the introduction of stashes.

depending on how often bonus XP events are it will actually help low level frag farmers. these frag globals alone will take away most of the farming market. need more players composing and more often between globals to bring back the market of farmed frags.

I understand. But the op is asking for more frags whereas you are asking to burn more frags. The more we burn, the more we need more frags the faster we reach composing eoc. Players are already in their 30's and I don't think this has been out for a year.

frag stash events are awesome... i would agree to cut some of the frags in half such as the SE, Crystal and Even LE Frags that are in the stash rewards... but commons are the most widely used crucial frags... im not saying give us as many as last time.. but I also dont know if they need to be but in half...

Cant Wait For The Next Event :P

Would it be possible to reassign or distribute the total number of frags, so we get considerably more common frags than say Super Elite Frags, from the rewards chests? I still have more than I will ever need in terms of SE and Crustal frags. maybe the following split of the total received from the chest:

 

Common = 70%

Rare = 12%

Unique = 8%

Legendary = 5%

Crystalline = 4%

Super Elite = 1%

 

Or something in this sort of region. Very few potions currently use SE fragments so they get used infrequently, pretty much the same with the Crystal fragments too.

 

Just a thought as whilst I am a level 20 composer I still have over 3.6k SE and Crystalline frags left from the last global event.

Not terribly, no. The fact we have more people trying composing is great but leveling it can be rather hard. Giving a short window of increased Composing XP can help but it would need to burn more Frags. It ends up with us having two types of events that we can run every so often.

In my opinion, more Events = Good for Game and Community.

I'm more inclined to have less of all. The idea is to run these events more often. It is readily obvious we were a touch over generous the first time, so I blink a blanket halving is better so we can run these more often.

A touch ? ;)

 

A blanket halving is OK, but as Davros said, the higher "status" fragments are barely used, relative to common fragments ..

 

So, 1/2 the commons and then scale back much further on the rest or they will cease to be farmed at all by the vast majority of players as we'll all have massive stockpiles of them and a very low usage rate ...


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 ...

Yeah, even when higher "Status" fragments are used for composing potions, much more common fragments are still consumed due to how Fragment Cost is calculated.

 

I have made a suggestion for a way to reduce the higher "Status" fragments. http://forums.hunted...showtopic=64309 I hope players HCS would give more feedback

I meant even with your proposed reduction, the division I suggested was taking into account your reduction in the total number of fragments dished out with the fragment stash rewards. So if, for example, previously we got 10,000 frags, you say half it to then 5,000 frags, divide this total using my above formula.

I may as well copy in my suggestion from that thread too.

 

 

To make the higher level fragments more useful, though, I would prefer allowing players to downgrade frag rarities at a 1:1 ratio, for example you could turn 100 SE frags into 100 unique frags. Since commons are the ones generally needed in bulk, it would increase demand for all higher rarities as well.

I have read your suggestion in that thread and made reply already :P  But hoping other players would also give feedback

Will there be an auto opening for the fragment stashes dropped by the creatures?
