Ouch. No wonder I've been feeling unlucky with Shinwa.

Thanks for updating us on all the things staff should be updating us on, !

I haven't been doing Q and I just quit doing Shin. Can't battle either with the mess. No wonder I'm seldom here lately.

So great.. pretty much killed the battlers from getting boosters and you killed those of us who don't battle/use boosters from getting them to make a profit. Way to go.

Does it make sense to add Tier 13 in battling but at the same time taking away one of the best source for stat raisers? You want battlers to fully enjoy the new scroll system, right? XD

Up next: Training will only give 1 stat across the board, no chance of 2 or 3.

It was a few posts up about him being nerfed.

Thanks I wondered if they removed all or not. I'm not overly at the stage I need a ton of boosters so I been selling my amulets and not doing Shinwa. -lol-

Shinwa, why do you have to be like that? D8 aaaargh

Thank you, , for pinging us for this. Greatly appreciated.

You would think that after two years, rather than look silly by removing the extra booster and reminding everyone how horrible Subeta is at sticking to deadlines/doing what they say, they'd just leave it.

Yeah I remember it only supposed to be a limited thing but er, after two years I don't think it was doing much harm.

Not to stray off topic, but, pfft - I already so rarely get more than 1 stat per training session (which is why I don't autotrain, btw), that I'd believe it and wouldn't even notice, just like I didn't notice the change with Shinwa. :P

For real, though, I wish it'd been announced or mentioned on her revamp that her prizes were tweaked. I'm not going to stop doing her quest daily, since I do all the other quests anyway and I might as well knock her quest out of the way in the process. But I'm disgruntled at having to find that info out on a bug topic, from non-staff users. Like, I get it - the double boosters were never meant to be a permanent thing. But the last info about them was given two years ago, so we could've done with a refresher. Why not at least use a siteupdate ping?? That's what that ping group is for. Bruh.

I'll agree with all the statements here voicing annoyance over not being told in addition to just generally being ticked off.

But with full disclosure, I did receive a booster today. Of course, it was the first booster I've received in about a week...

Oh, and are we sure about Quentin not getting nerfed as well? In my 14* quests today, I received only one mage amulet. (*Screw you Q for asking for a reading drive prize...) Yesterday, I did 13-14 quests and didn't get a single amulet. If Keith is testing for shits and giggles (I'm looking at you quest points...) I sure hope he'd have the decency to let us know.

Quentin's prizes were tweaked a bit. He was giving out five amulets a day, every day, which was... too many. They were deflating pretty quickly. So staff tweaked them, though I don't know how much.

I didn't get any amulets yesterday, but I got three the day before that, and I got two today, so I don't think Quentin's prizes were nerfed too badly. It feels to me like they're back the way they were before Quentin was made to give out five a day.

if you mean "tweaked" then yeah, it went back to how it was before everyone was getting 5 amulets a day. Because resellers were complaining the price was too low. It is not like every amulet turns into a tome...so I personally did not see any harm in getting 5 amulets a day, now I am back to like maybe 1 every other day. And all I seem to be getting are shards.

Now with this whole Shinwa thing...it had been 2 items by chance, it was still luck if you got two items, for over 2 years...no clue as to why it was nerfed...yes it was suppose to be temporary, but 2 years is longer than temp. Temp is like 6 months.

Ever since that thread with Quentin, I feel like I've gotten multiple amulets every day that I actually did their quests (I swear I got 4 of them twice, but I don't know when exactly the change was made or when I got those tbh). Today I got two.

damn it

- Can you be a member of staff? You're one of the only people who actually updates us on important stuff! Thanks for finding those old news posts.

It is a shame that didn't use the group ping to tell people outside of the Battle community about the change. :| I am pretty sure that was the intended purpose of that forum group.

But apparently users are supposed to ask staff rather than staff communicating with users:

:| :| :| all day long.

Speiro - thanks for updating us. I too remember it was temporary just had not realized it was over.

Wow, it's been so long that I completely forgot Shinwa wasn't always so generous. I can understand the Quentin change pretty well, since tomes give such a nice boost to stats, but I can't help but feel disappointed about this change. x: I'm about 300 stat points away from tier 13 and absolutely dreading it. Between the exp costs, training time, and now this nerf, it feels like it's going to take forever to get anywhere above the old cap. And I know we have to work for things, believe me, I've put a ton of work into my pet, it's just that it feels like you're pretty out of luck if you didn't hoard stat boosters beforehand, or if you don't have millions upon millions to spend on boosters. Kind of disheartening, especially after so long with Shinwa being more generous.
