Loose a random Blessing - not random at all.

[Anelyn]

How comes every single time when you decide to trade for something and loose 1 RANDOM blessing, it's 100% always Mothers Blessing or the other one with adding a high success to card gambits. Even at 20 blessings this happens 100% of time.

Please either change the description text to read your highest / rarest blessing, or change the mechanic to actually be random, so that the player knows what he's getting into and if it is worth the trade or not :)

Cheers!

Yep! That's how it works: Random isn't 'random' at all: It snipes your best blessing (Eternal Hope or Mother's blessing)
PS: You should come and see the Discord chat of HOF2! I literally spoke about this two days ago!

I think it's a side effect of how they changed Fairy Ring to always require Mother's Blessing as your sacrifice if you have it, to prevent having multiple copies of it. I'd push this thread to bugs if so, assuming the random blessing you're talking about isn't the (not random but chosen) blessing sacrificed in Fairy Ring.

Or, if this is intentional, I'd like to see Mother's Blessing and Eternal Hope in platinum, if possible, and with a "Platinum Blessing" attribute that explains that their power comes at the cost of always being chosen over other blessings if you would lose a blessing at random. (It'd also leave a neat red herring in The Devil, with players expecting Apollyon to somehow try to rob them of Eternal Hope).

Yes, I also believe that blessings are not taken away accidentally. In two different games, I had the blessings "Mother's blessing" and "Eternal hope". I failed one of the tests and in the conditions of defeat two blessings are taken away. And I, of course, were taken exactly by these, my best blessings.

When I meet the "Merchant from distant lands" and he offers me equipment in exchange for an accidental blessing, he always wants to take away the "Mother's blessing" or "Eternal hope", if I have one. ALWAYS.

Not sure if related, but I took a hit on "lose 4 random equipment" from a trial gone bad the other day, and even though I was walking around with an arsenal of maybe 2/3 of the equipment in the game, I happened to lose the only 4 platinum equipment cards I was carrying.

Seemed pretty suspicious. I haven't played a lot of endless to know if this is always the case, but it seems just like the blessings. (Also, to the extent I have lost random blessings before, it has always taken Mother's when I had it).

[TARDIS]

As already said - the game always tries to take away the "Mother's blessing" or "Eternal hope" (if you have one). So, I have a "Mother's blessing". I again get on the "Fairy Ring" card. The Queen in exchange for the boy requires me a blessing (of course, she wants "Mother's blessing"), I give it back, return the child and as a reward I receive ... "mother's blessing."
I understand why this is so, but it's a bit stupid, no?

I've noticed this too, and there really is no reason for it to steal your best blessing away. It's not like "remove a random curse" takes away your worst curse. In fact it is usually the opposite.
