Less incursion artifacts in new weekly super event

The highest milestone in the new weekly super event has only 4,000 incursion artifacts while in the old event I was regularly getting 4,500 artifacts a week. Mods posted saying it was better in every way which to me means no resource that was continuing (the loss of energy refills and other items has been commented on elsewhere a lot already) would have a lesser amount. I'm curious if it was intentional to decrease our incursion artifacts or if it is another mistake because both the last and second to last milestones contain 4,000 artifacts so maybe they meant to have 4,500 or more in the last milestone.

those 500 artifacts are the difference between MCOC heaven and hell.

Do tell us OP, do you actually play incursions, by chance?

I'm just looking at it from the perspective of them taking more things away and trying to spin it as pro-player. It's just the principle of the issue to me. They haven't been very transparent with some of the details of the changes ahead of time and I don't like the lack off information and communication on the forums about these things.

No, I really only play incursions when they are running the 5 minute cooldown versions but because they don't clearly say when that's happening I basically almost never touch it. I'm not sure what the relevance of that is to my questioning them taking more stuff away from us though and not being upfront about it.

i agree about the principle of the thing, but out of all the things they have removed, the artifacts are about the least useful…

That's true but as I mentioned in my OP the other things have already been mentioned on the forums and Kabam have somewhat responded to the loss of energy refills, boosts, and units (though not seemingly the units from the lower EQ difficulties). They haven't, to my knowledge, addressed the decrease in artifacts and I'm curious if it's an oversight or another case of taking things away from us.

The five minute cool down is always when it's a saga incursions month, which they do tell us about ahead of time.
