Disappointed in some MotMG events

#15

All of these events disappoint me and I haven’t even been playing Realm…

#16

I got too much from ddocks and shaits, an ok amount from tombs, and 0 from all else

#17

The tomb event too long of a dungoen for just a mystery stat pot and moss.

#18

Pub tombs drop nothing. So far I gained ~35 life, prot, and pyra but only from private guild ones.

#19

Despite the fact that I have benefited from the double event white drops, its still kinda sad to see so many people running around with this kind of stuff. I wouldve like it better if they hadn’t of done it.

#20

The Docks and the Tomb events were strange to see side by side.

Docks I had been running a lot of, as it is one of the last “fast” events where it can be turbo farmed with low effort/engagement.

Then Tomb started and I heard complains of “always getting nothing”, so I counted my loot from the first 35 I did (from nexus pops while waiting for the Docks).

  • From 35 tombs: 23x nothing, 3x mpot, 5x mpot+moss, 3x moss, 1x stone

2/3 of the time to get nothing is very off-putting for a dungeon that’s a lot slower to run, when you have the alt option to do, what, 10-15+ Docks in the same time a single Tomb takes. Edit: reading other replies since I started typing this it looks like a few of us are on the same wavelength.

It is more the discrepancy between each chest event which makes Tomb look especially bad (poor choice of order for the events). Had Tomb occurred earlier in the month, or as the opening weekend event, it perhaps wouldn’t be getting such knocks, but we’ve been spoiled by the Shaitan/Encore/Docks events, all of which were very fast-paced to do, making them more worthwhile, especially if loot pot active is factored in.

Aside from that, it would have been better to make some events “clear all dungeon” just to change it up instead of what’s going to possibly be 10 copy/paste bonus chest events. Shatters especially benefits from a “clear all” event given how terrible the general Rotmg playerbase is at knowing how to succeed in the first stage.

Edit: I also think the choice of only uncommon/event dungeons isn’t the best, as it pretty much forces players into key opening situations to participate fully. MotMG 2017 had Puppet Theatre, UDL, Manor in the mix, which gave a good “event feel”, searching for them in realms, and then the weekend ones were the rarer dungeons. This year is entirely key-heavy/cash-grabby. (Ofc not saying you have to buy keys yourself, but a more interesting texture to the month would’ve been to alternate between godlands dungeons and event dungeons, not have them practically all be event dungeons).

Replies:

It’s the upside-down approach to take, thinking your loot is only valuable because few other people have it. Items are good or bad on their own merits. Because the entire loot system is RNG, beating up on people who somehow didn’t “deserve” their loot enough is only a path to eternal rage.

Something else cause-and-effect which I didn’t see enough people mention, is if you go from doing lets say 50x events per day on a normal day because you’re also doing dungeons etc. to now 250x events because you’re farming events all day. You’ve done a x5 to your own natural loot chances just by increasing the number you do, regardless of the change in drop rate.

But really, if anyone feels that they are being screwed out of their time and effort playing a pixel MMO they probably should just quit now and cut their losses, because that is all this entire game is!

Look at the glass being half-full. Anyone who got stuck with a sprite they dislike, or maybe they loved it 3 years ago when they spent that gold but have got bored seeing over time many other players with the exact same default divines. Now they have a way to switch it out for whatever they loot (or buy). Players can use random lower tier pets (I am tempted to have a Sprite Star again) so the more that pets are diluted by giveaways etc, the less likely overall you are see duplicates now there are like 400 pet skins or whatever and ever increasing. It’s really a positive thing for those who seek exclusivity on their pet if you think about it in those terms.

I prefer normal classic gameplay instead of sitting in Nexus for dungeon

#22

How would you guys rank the events in terms of drops? I completely agree with the people saying that drop rates were the same each event and the one factor was how long each dungeon took.

Pretty sure for misery pots, tokens, mystery skins and sun set, Deca copy pasted loot rates for each event chest, and did another copy paste for whatever whites dropped in that dungeon, multiplied by some factor.

That’s why I felt events like shaits/ddocks dropped the most loot (disregarding the quality of whites) not because they had better drop rates but simply because I grinded hundreds of each.

#23

I haven’t gotten anything from 2x event whites and I’ve been farming hours each day and I’ve pretty much given up on it

#24

When I played, if I happened to Nexus and a dungeon opened, I’d think “why not?” and hop right in. But I’m the same as you, I’d rather just play the game, there’ll be other chances to get those items.

#25

This whole month didn’t really feel special at all to be honest, all that hard work gone into vain pretty much. we can only count on the remaining events of the month but i’m highly disappointed as well from all the events this month.

#26

shaitans - nothing special
shatters - nothing special
cemetery - nothing special
encore - nothing special
ddocks - nothing special
tomb - nothing special

all of the above - nothing special

#27

Yah ive gotten really nothingfrom motmg i hate the tomb event cuz everyone make it dirty. The only whites ive gotten are Tshot and prism with 3 cutlasses. I just want to do cnidarian reef cuz last months event i was in vaca. Also I wantto do I’ve cave and oh events screw all the others

#28

Used to love looking at the loot drop table for a chest event as soon as it was posted on reddit, but for these past events in MotMG I don’t even get excited from them because I know the only thing that will change is the Divine pet skin and a different colored drake (And of course the whites). Would be nice to see some different things being put in the table every so often besides pets.

#29

the shatts event was bull fucking shit, i did like 100 and all i got was 1 bracer from the normal chest and so many moss. ddocks gave me nothing but i did like 15. encore gave me 1 tshot from the normal boss i did like 20. tomb gave me a prot 5 pyras from boss nile and blue drake.

#30

I really expected to be swimming in LIFE and have at least more whites than the ones I got from this event. By now I have probably 70-80 tombs done I got zero life and whites since my original post above.

Pretty sad event in my opinion. The only good thing was the cheaper tomb keys of which I only used about 5 and saved the rest for after the event.

#31

The only whites I’ve gotten so far have been 2 skulls from shaitan and 2 wakis from shaitan. These drop rates are definitely garbage.

#32

0 from 2X event whites drop rate. I did about 3 hours a day farming events (Most is ent).

#33

Haven’t been keeping track of how many ive done. havent participated in tom and I have gotten exactly 0 whites ever from all those dungeons

#34

Shaitans- waki, 2 skulls, drake
Wlab- 2 leafs, skins, pet skins
