Trying to dry up the free AD supply, encouraging pay to win? Na, can't be
While I maintain that this latest move is a really inadvisable one that serves no constructive purpose, no, this is probably not the intent. 100k AD is a single player's daily RAD income...a drop in the bucket as far as the market is concerned. And they have to know that many players won't bother doing the restoration. If they really cared about us doing this, they'd probably have made the rewards much more appealing.
Why My barbarian have a Enchanced Runic resonator if i nevere restored a piece of gear ? all i did was the quest for 5 etching of same kind, felt cheated after btw...
Is that a bug for older players or is that teh quest needed ?
Anyway this was the worst timing i ever seen in a change... so many bugs to adress and you guys are seeking the ad sources of raw ad that is already limited 100k/ to refine...
Can you explain how you have time to place someone to do this change with this much of bugs in the scaling and dungeons ?
Tried to find words for this but is just... Is that point when you cant even get surprised or angry anymore just demotivated sad...

Because some people in this thread are incorrect about their thoughts. The enhanced resonator is given once you complete the quest N°2 in tutorial of Sinye, which is buy one sphere of influence with 5 etchings. Its not given at the quest N°3 which is restore an apprentice piece of gear... No restoration needed. So yes to answer this question that is the quest needed to get rewards. Im getting mine.
This was the original intent behind the design (the implementation also required players to put more effort into the tutorial than was desired). In the fix update, getting through the tutorial should only require one successful expedition completion and etching collection.
All the stuff in game that's broken so badly it's unplayable and you decide to change THIS??? Your priorities are absolute garbage.

@nitocris83 i think you mean "sphere of influence" quest, thats the one that give the resonator
First of all, this is just stupid. No reason for this whatsoever. I don't care if it was the original intent it was the wrong intent. Whatever though, this particular issue is far smaller than others.
Second, why wasn't this in the patch notes? Stop making changes without clearly posting. Players SHOULD NOT have to read the forums daily to know every time something changes. Put it in the notes. This is more irritating than the change itself.
Third, here we once again have an error that benefits the player and it is rushed to be corrected yet gamebreaking issues go ignored.

Is not a reader fail is the post that is wrong on this case... but yes i believe the same thing as you
@nitocris83 i think you mean "sphere of influence" quest, thats the one that give the resonator
Tks @arcanjo86 thats the quest i did i couldnt recall the name anymore...
So i believe the inital post here has the wrong quest named, making people much more sad than they would be if the knew whats is needed is not a good change in any aspect but is a much smaller grind...
I'm guessing they're doing us a favour. Perhaps something to do with the watcher set maybe.
I agree on that, but would be much more produtive to allow people to know that they need that quest done to start the "hunt" and let them chose to do it or not...
I for example have no intent to seek this weapon set on my Ranger or Fighter that already have a Alabaster set, but want the weapons on my pally, would gladly do the quest for a chance on the weapon...
Now i'm being forced to do that quest on all toons i have runnig ME... just not fun ....
some players doesnt get until 6th day of running 3 ME
1st day 1,2,0.0 2nd day 1.2,2,1 3rd day 2,2,3,2 4th day 3,3,3,3 5th day 4,3,4,4 6th day 7,3,4,4 for 5th runes not everyone stick to shedule for each day, some had to do real life situations, could lead to 10 or more days to get 5th runes, and guess what? those guys got further behind while others were just done with master expeditions, some were fed up or dont want any more run since they got all the gears and both weapons and offhands to help others. some would "accused' of leeching because some dont have runes completed.
i still see flawed designs.
if i were to design a tutoring quest, i would cut eccessive runes to 3 basic runic and let players earn them from 3 runs in a day to advance, and redo the Domed heroic encounters for upgraded runic for 4-5 colors runic versions, so that mean everyone have them ready for next master expedition runs for better loot grades. rerunning master expeditions for single runic is a mistake and time consuming and it leads to burnouts.
Hey, do you guys want to make fix what's broken instead of breaking what's working fine?
THEY do not even know what works and what is broken (by them, or is it always WAI?)
99 lines of code on the wall, 99 lines of code, add one line, compile it again....... 113 lines on code on the wall 113 lines of code on the wall, 113 lines of code, rewrite one line, compile it again....... Wait For It
I understand the frustration of not getting any ME chest rewards for a week, but come on... this is not a deal at all. The change makes players run a few extra quests before geting ME chests. So what? Its not like they nerfed your favorite character or expensive items you just bought.

It's not exactly what was changed. It's the timing of this change, what it affects, and the message it sends.
well that explains why I got nothing during the entire ME (other than a little bit of gold and some refining stones), this mod has taken most of my "want" to play this game out of me and now they do things like this.....
I remember a month or so before (maybe longer) on a Twitch stream, that Thomas Foss stated that the reward system will be upgraded and there will definitely be more and also more worthwhile rewards, that doesn't seem to be what they ended up doing, all they have done is left the same rewards, made everything in game harder to get the same old stuff, but, most of us still love this game and went ahead and ran the new mod, it's been almost 1 month and now with all of the bugs they decide to start taking away rewards......on the newer, harder content......
I can't find any logical reasons for the thoughts and decisions that are being made internally, they hide this (pretty big) change by not putting it in the patch notes and then put a post on the forums (after) it's been implemented........after ALL of the complaining that has been done about 90-95% of this mod and they think "this" is a great idea.......oh and top it off by giving the CM the wrong info (giving Julia the benefit of the doubt of not knowing how this quest works), and I'm not even shocked or surprised by any of this......
In the 5 1/2ish years I have been playing this game, this is the first mod that has me questioning my time here at this game and my future of playing, I have a lot of VIP left, so I will log in to get my key, but I think THIS decision and "surprise" handed to us today will make me go back and replay a console game until or if they ever decide to fix this mess, I have tried my hardest to get into this mod but I just can't........no this is not a rage quit or anything, just my thoughts on how badly this game seem to be getting with the decisions being made, oh well maybe things will change for the better (fingers crossed), have a great night everyone
Can you please change the Alabaster drop rate. I am so tired of getting the same one over and over again, Since I cannot duel wield daggers or icons. How about you make a change where if it has already dropped half of the set, those items do not keep dropping so the other piece of gear can be the next to drop for us
4 toons, MEs every day - fighter got both main/offhand the first week, cleric got offhand last week. The other two, nothing. Paladins seem especially cursed to not get either. I really wish they'd change this RNG for gear drops to "if you've run x times, your chance goes up each subsequent run until they hit 100%.". Pipe dream I know.
after ALL of the complaining that has been done about 90-95% of this mod and they think "this" is a great idea
I think it's pretty clear by now they don't take into consideration feedback, most of the time. You can easily say that looking at any implementation, patch, buff/nerf, etc
If you’re like me, you would’ve logged into the game today with the quest: “Sphere of Influence” incomplete.
The quest was updated today to grant an Enhanced Runic Resonator from Runemaster Sinyé, which is required for Master Expedition rewards granted by Resonance.
If you’ve been running your 3 Daily MEs, you most likely were using the old Runic Resonator which is silver colored instead of the gold, shiny new Resonator.
Image 1. Old Resonator.
Image 2. This is the Runic Resonator that you need in order to receive ME rewards now!
To get this new Resonator, you will need to purchase an Unstable Rune-Etched Orb from our friend.
Image 3. Runemaster Sinyé’s latest creation.
In order to get this Unstable Rune-Etched Orb, you will need to complete a Master Expedition and open the chest at the end. This can fit in perfectly with any 1 rune run group! After you complete the Master Expedition, you will receive a Rune Etching: Chaotic, which happens to look similar to a Rune Etching: Dark.
Image 4. Make sure you take this to the Runemaster!
After speaking to Runemaster Sinyé and purchasing the Unstable Rune-Etched Orb, you should be able to complete Sphere of Influence. Pick up the Rune-Etched Armor quest after, and you should be able to continue MEs as normal with the rewards that you should be expecting from Resonance.

Thank you for fixing the quest so we didn't have to waste 5 res's on it.
stealth is survival skills (and not tanking skills, that is really different)
stealth is damage
stealth is mobility
stealth is everything
everything is stealth
Stealth make TR OP, but lack of stealth make TR useless.

Now this makes sense tks for posting a clear description of the fix ! ( i already had iit figured after runnig today but is much beter to explain to others)
if this have being placed from start this tread would be really smaller !
How are you getting any Alabaster items at all? I have been running 3xME's with runes every day since reaching 80 on my two main characters, which was just a few days after the Mod 16 patch, and I have not seen a single one.

Unfortunately, they're both rare and random. And you're unlucky.
I have 3 GF offhands, and no mainhands on any toon. Other people have multiple MH and OH on several toons.

I have the off hand and Main for my CW... just got lucky. BUT... it has only been what.. 2 weeks since Mod 16 started? You guys cannot expect to get this stuff the moment you start doing ME's.. Back in the day, the big thing was the Eye of the Lathandler Artifact from Dread Ring. in one years time I got 4 of them, to this day my bother NEVER got even one... so there you have it.
I actually did the quest on my main, and it took 5 days to get the 5 pieces....
Maybe that's why I have 2 full sets of my Alabaster weapons. Of course, Zok hasn't given me anything worthwhile, as I hear about alliance members who have multiple artifacts from him....
