Chest rarity feels weird now.

[Valatros]

I dunno if my luck is just weird, but I'm on a fresh save as of yesterday and I almost NEVER get bad treasure loot. Which is good, but it makes the blessed chest mechanic feel very odd, since it's activated less often than I've gotten ancient loot. I'm not sure the mechanics even necessary, at this point; the "common" loot is probably the rarest reward of all. Don't get me wrong, I get more blues than anything, then a good number of epics, with the occasional legendary and rare ancient, then the most rare of all is the... regular chest bag. It's just weird.

Hi Valatros, what is your chest bonus from resident contribution atm?

[Valatros]

Zero. I have yet to even find a resident that HAS that effect, just now opened the imperial thing (and got crushed by it like an insect xD)

Haha, we'll take a look at chest rarity process :) thanks

Okay, posting a followup because this is starting to really mess with my head. I did 20 runs of a wooden forest level 1, and tallied up all 5 chests each time. 5 chests a run, so 100 chests. In 100 hests, I got:

42 blue.
19 epic.
22 legend.
11 ancient.
6 normal.

Only SIX out of 100... were "common" everything else was rare or better, actually the most common chest of all was "rare!" By a landslide! In all of that, my chest rarity bonus was 0, except for ONE run where I immediately got a legendary bag and zeroed it back out again. This happens on new games, on old saves, just... crazy high chest rarities.

And as a bonus, to prove I'm not crazy, I recorded the entire stupid adventure. Link to the youtube video of my smashing wooden forest level 1 to pieces 20 times below.

I recommend watching it at double speed, and... not watching at all, unless you want to see for yourself how high chest rarity seems to be by default.

Note that this is what my chest rarity is like on EVERY. SINGLE. LEVEL. Just ridiculously high. I mean, that's a good thing for me personally but it really takes away from the fun of getting "good" chests when they're all good. Especially since it renders the blessed chest mechanic the rarest of all. After all, of those 100 chests, I only picked out a normal myself One. Time.

Honestly in a game that is about finding great loot, your complaining about finding great loot.

Diablo style - The ancients/Legendaries that you may find may not have the stat bonuses you want, nor be desirable for your charachters. I am for one enjoying all my shineys. :P

Yeah, like I said it just feels off. If anything I was getting more good loot before when normal chests were common but you got a +90 each time until you got a legendary box, and it felt better since there were "failures" to compare with the successes. It's just more fun, for me anyway, to get good things when you can also get bad things, instead of just varying levels of good. I mean, why have chest rarity at all, if all that matters is getting the best stuff every time?

Hi Valatros:

We have reviewed the related code, and it is confirmed that there is a bug causing normal chests not generated :) Thanks a lot for the video demonstration! Cheers!

Woot, not crazy! Thanks for the response ^.^
