Omega minigame drop rate change

storyborn

a.k.a. nerf.

Yes, at all scores you're garunteed shards, but from the notes I expected garunteed drops of higher materials at higher scores, and an increased chance of the very highest rewards.

This is very much not the case.

From doing a load of minigames today i've gotten 1 omega shard, and 50 omega slivers.

I did a similar number of games before the patch yesterday and got maybe 30 slivers, 10 shards, and 2 fragments.

sure, the drop rate of slivers is way up, and its consistant... but the higher materials just seem to be completely gone from the drop tables.

Agreed, the game hands me the same TRIBBLE each and every time, 1 silver 3 colored particles.

And, this is based on a score range of 2000-2600, with an average of 2000-2200, as I score no less unless the game does its sudden premature completion.

Out of literally 150 play tries, it has thus handed me only 1 shard, no fragments and, the same 1 silver + 3 (sometimes 2) colored particles.

Sorry, but no. I've gotten scores in excess of 2,000 on the first day alone. But no matter what I scored, I never got anything more than the basic particles. I never got even one single Sliver, Shard, or Fragment. Not one. At least now, I'm getting 3-4 particles AND a Sliver. I'm still not getting anything Shards or Fragments, but at least now, I am getting Slivers.

Silvers were abundant to begin with IMO, now I get no shards and, absolutely no fragments.

Particles I got enough to begin with, now I am starting to swim in them, along with silvers, heck by the time this event is over, I will probably have some thousands of particles, hundreds if not thousands of silvers and, almost no shards + 0 fragments to show for all of that grinding, unless I actually make them myself.

Your TRIBBLE RNG for this mini game, is about as favorable as the one you use for lockbox grand prize ships!

Odds are TRIBBLE and, is probably rigged!

after 50 games i just got 1 shard and no O fragments.
Great buff

btw, i score between 2300-2600. :mad:

this was definitely a 'normalisation' that benefitted low scoring players while penalising high scoring players.
averaging 2300-2600 and i seem to get the same 3 [white] and 1 [green] drop every time. the only exception was a [purple] (or was it blue?) on a 2600... out of like 200 games.
on the upside, the 2500 jinx is gone. previously 2500 seemed to have a 75% chance of dropping a single [white].
