Hello,

Ive no clue wether im having rotten luck along with a lot of my friends but ive not had a blue or purple divine contract quest in 2 weeks now and it seems im not the only one for which they have been a bit thin on the ground. Before this i was often getting 2 a day along with the white quests, sometimes even 3.

Now...heres the interesting part, the lack of blue and purple quests seemed to kick in around the same time the item 'Divine seal of the Void' was placed in the boutique which enables a player to reset the quests given by divine contracts.

What im asking is...has anyone else had this issue??

I can only draw 1 conclusion from this and thats pwe nerfed the output of blue+purple quests to encourage the sale of the new itemb:angry. Perhaps its just my friends and I are having rotten luck but we decided to post this on a rare visit to the forum to see what kinda feedback we get.

b:pleased

    I have gotten a blue on two different characters. But just one, in a long period of time, and none on my others.... and I don't even remember what the purples look like. Haven't had a purple on any of my chars in weeks.

    i get blue ones often enough, but the purple ones dried up within a few weeks after the genesis expansion was introduced, for me. i haven't seen one of those since long, long before the divine seals showed up in the cash shop.

    I just did a purple one yesterday on my mystic, so they are still there. :P

    Same, I haven't gotten a single blue/purple quest in 2 weeks, since they've added those divine seals to the boutique. Prior to that I was getting them regularly (about 80 divine honors of the shadow in total). Knowing them it's quite obvious to me that they nerfed it.

    What's more likely, that we've suddenly gone extremely unlucky, just after the release of those items, or that those greedy rats screwed us once again?

    Hmmm well.... seems my friends and I arnt alone, thanks for the feedback guys.

    A quick note to the devs...IF you did nerf the output of blue and purple divine contracts in order to sell more items from the cashshop then that just confirms the growing opinion that you as a company do not fully appreciate your f2p customers, I say this as a regular cashshopper but i dont like seeing f2p friends missing out on things.b:bye

    I highly doubt that the output of those quests would have been nerfed, because for what PWE makes on those Seals, they could sell a single charm and be better off. It wouldn't make sense, and would just drive players away from the game.b:chuckle

    It happens. Sometimes you're just really unlucky. Like I'll go a week without any blue/purple quests and then all of a sudden, I'll get at least one a day for a few days.

    It's random.

    Yep, it's very random. Someone in faction suspected that they nerfed it, but then my fiance got a blue one shortly after.

    And I get them regularly on my mystic, but I ain't going into 59 for them.
