Enough of RNG rewards.

BigDog34

@Kabam Miike Can you please move away from RNG based rewards. It's so unbalanced from player to player. Move back towards the store system you've done before. Collect the resources and trade them in for something you actually want/need. Having RNG rewards is a massive slap in the face to us. #makemcocgreatagain

I absolutely agree. RNG rewards are terrible. I’ve done pretty well actually for this month and I still stand by that. The Captain Marvel event was great because if you did the work, you got the rewards.

I can understand how frustrating it is to not pull what you want, but the game has always been largely based on RNG. I don't see it changing anytime soon. I'm not sure what you mean about making it great again, but this has always been the case. It's also great when we have the luck to pull what we want. It just takes some patience.

I guess soul-shattering disappointment can make the good pulls worth it. I guess.

In a manner of speaking, yes. The dichotomy is that both are necessary. The bad pulls make the good ones all the more significant.

Why do the EQ rewards need to be RNG though? We have had EQ's where we had guaranteed rewards or the player chose the rewards. Something like the Intel event where the player could choose what they wanted.

It seems kinda unnecessary adding RNG to EQs. It hasn't always been like that.

Actually, they've had a variety of EQ formats. Some rely on RNG, some are straightforward Rewards, some involve currency. There is a range and they vary. I think people were disappointed that there were two back-to-back, but they won't all be RNG-based. I remember the first Rifts. They were actually amazing at the time. People barely focused on the RNG.

Patience for something thats isnt permanent? If it was story or LOL type quest then yes patience is fine. But patience for something is not permanent and only lasts 30 days doesnt really make much sense.

No. Patience with RNG in general. Sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you don't. That's why it's called lucky. Lol.

I think it's fun. I would imagine most of us feel the same way, or we wouldn't play it. If there was only people getting what they wanted, it would lose a great deal of excitement for the times we did, the thrill of the chase, and really get dry after a while. Not to mention, if there was no randomness and waiting, and everyone just got what they wanted, that would put a serious curve on progress overall.

Thanks for the paragraph, I just wish we could somehow translate sarcasm through text. I do love this game, but games shouldn't frustrate the player to the point that this one does at times.

I can't name a game that's kept my attention for more than 3 years that hasn't frustrated me. In fact, I can't name a Mobile Game that's kept my attention as long as this one. All games frustrate us from time to time.

Decent enough point but I could sit down and tell you stories for hours about all sorts of things that are frustrating about this game, and not even just the RNG aspect. Just putting that out there.

Probably. I'm of the mindset that the enjoyment outweighs the frustration because when it doesn't, that's when people choose to leave. I've had moments where I had to step back and release the stress. Then I come back to it. Some choose not to stick with it, and that's respectable as well. For me, I focus on what I enjoy and don't look at what frustrates me for too long.

BigDog34

I personally didn't do that bad, I got a full t2a and a featured 5* and 2 lots of Sig's and some shards. Just saying has a whole, we all do the same content, we all do the same grind but we get rewarded differently. Some great, some very poor. Games on a horrible downward spiral and just seem kabam are now more out of touch than ever, again.

"It just takes some patience"
How much? Is 4 years not enough?

Kobster84

Like the side events don’t even have to be store events but guaranteed rewards if I grind the same as someone I shouldn’t get 100 times less rewards then them

If someone has been playing for 4 years steady, and RNG hasn't thrown them a bone yet, I'd be curious of how they're playing.

There are a few for me. Diablo 3 for example. As far as Mobile Games go, this is the Mac Daddy for me. Most have either been beaten, or lost my attention.

I wouldn’t mind if we did these quest to collect dust like before. Get the RNG on an awakening crystal but let us pick what we want.

We want 5k shards? We pick them
We want an awakening gem? We pick that

I think that’s better. But that’s just me

IKON

The RNG rewards have a low floor, but a really high ceiling. Currency type events may let you get a guaranteed AG, but then you'd have to decide if you want the AG or a featured crystal. With the rifts, if you run hot (and plenty have) you can get multiple top end rewards.

His pulls are the same just as the rest of us. Two subtle differences are a) he has enough resources to try, and b) no one watches us when we pull anything.
