⬆️ Heavy Armor Spheres "Talk About a Party Foul..."
⬆️ Sealed Feystones "The Wrath of Thunder Descends"

Kirin set meta /s

increased rates my ass. all they did was double the sealed feystones in this quest. thats it. and that took them 3 weeks to add? WHY?

really disappointed in this tbh. so rip till probaly summer festival then. doubt ala comes in june given how serve the lockdown is in JP.

no its not. thats just 1 extra sealed. as the remaining ones are still t2 tempered tables. so chance for more sealed is like 1% on these extra slots.

this is still worse than 3 tempereds. thus this change was crap. especially given the wait for no reason. you cant tell me adding 1 more sealed took them 3 weeks.

i guess its nice for new players who are still below mr 100. but besides that? disappointing deluxe. AND lazy.

Just got 6 sealed feystone on a single run, not bad. Also, a zinogre run is easier and faster than some level 3 tempered monsters and it is guaranteed 2 sealed feystones.

[its0re0time]

With a typical 4 purple T3 tempered investigation, you have a 40% chance for each reward to be a sealed feystone (SF) individually. That means each hunt you have 40% chance for one SF, 16% for two, 6.4% for three, and 2.56% for four (as long as my vague recollection of high school statistics doesn't fail me). Each T3 investigation should last about 10 minutes consistently for most people.

That means every hour you run T3's perfectly with 4 purple rewards you get an average of approximately 6 SFs.

With the zinogre quest, you're GUARANTEED 2 SFs and have a small chance for 1 more. Each T. Zingore run should last about 7-8 minutes if you're using meta equipment, but we can also just say 10 minutes to make calculation easier.

That means every hour you run the thunder god quest you get 12 SFs.

Even if these two are equal Zinogre still beats out T3's because you're going to run it so much faster than T3's and its a 3 SF guarantee.


So yeah. I'm PRETTY SURE my math is right.

Talk about being lazy....
The number of players is obviously on the decline because there's absolutely nothing new, what does capcom do? Just increase the drop rate on monsters that people are already sick and tired of farming.

This has to be a bad joke, right?

What would you suggest Capcom do instead? Their new content pipeline is already disrupted due to Corona, its not like they can magically make new stuff for people to do.

So yeah. I'm PRETTY SURE my math is right.

a doggo run takes 5 minutes with a decent group. 4 with a fast one.

the disappointed isnt the rewards dude. its the fact they went lazy and just added 1 sealed to this quest which people already farmed beyond belief before instead of giveing us a new deco farm quest like most people expected after that announcement.

"instead of giveing us a new deco farm quest like most people expected after that announcement"

I don't think you can say that considering the majority of the people on Twitter are saying thank you instead of wtf are you doing.

I agree partially that a change of pace would be nice, but I can't argue against 24 SF per hour (if a 5 minute zinogre run is assumed). Thanks for helping me show T3's are slower than thunder god.

Also I ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up the number, its not 60 its 12.

Boost x monster stats, increase drop rate but I guess that's too much to ask...

Boost monster stats? Wdym? I thought people didn't like how this was already kinda inflated.

I would have asked for more layered armor related quests, but idk how long that would last till people asked for more to do and that's the problem imo.

I would've loved for them to just give us Master Rank layered armor for the lower tier monsters through weird, gimmicky, novelty quests. That would've been great

This exactly. Like fighting 4 mini gold rathians for its layered armor or something.

Personally I think they had a plan for layered armor and future content and everything that's part of their overall pipeline. But they're not flexible (likely due to Capcom bureaucracy) and really don't want to deviate from what they already have.

Yeah people didn't liked it, but there's always someone that think if they say the contrary they'll look cool and hardcore.
And the thing is, people is never happy. Most of people has the chance of getting their missing decorations now, but instead they're asking for more, and even if capcom gave the more they'll still complain they need more.
