While I'm really glad about the updates given to the Trapped Minions game, I just wanted to suggest that it might be a good idea to increase the rates in which the bubbles pop. I don't know what everyone else's stats are like... but I only just got a bubble to pop yesterday, and I'm pretty sure the last time I had one pop was about 2,000 feeds ago. It seems a bit excessive to have the rates this high for a game that only 16 people have fed 6,000 or more. I know there are other ways to obtain minions, but it is always nice to at least know that there's a chance of some kind of reward for a game that you put your time and currency into.

Please consider monitoring the rates. Maybe my case is just an unlucky one, but I know I am probably not alone.

Wow, I didn't even know the bubbles actually popping was a thing in that game O_o granted I barely play it, but still XD

There used to be a time when I'd get one maybe every couple of hundred feeds. Then there was a point where it was broken, and I'd get an error message instead. Now it seems almost non-existent...

I agree. Rewards can be rare, no problem there, but this rare and there is simply no incentive to play the game. I don't even bother for Major Drills anymore and I'm just considering the achievement to be in the "I'll never get it" realm.

I didn't even know they could be popped o.o

I'd love to see this happen. :)

If I want to get to 6000 in this century without being bored, there better be a massive boon upgrade for me to do it.

Yeah dude, I've fed ~9.5k and have gotten... maaaybe 15 minions max? Almost all of which were dirt common. I feed minions because it's oddly satisfying to me, not because the current supermodel-slim chance of getting one provides any kind of incentive. I don't know why anybody else would bother except for Drills quests.

Yum! That minion looked closed to starving, I'm sure it's very thankful. Hopefully we can figure out how to fix these bubbles soon 😞 WHAT?! How did you do that! Something about what you just did allowed the bubble to pop.. and Slunti popped out! I guess you can take it home...

I wonder if they actually did bump the rates... this is my second minion pop since I posted. o_O

I didn't know there was even a possibility of reward besides the achievements and Major Drills...even for his quest, I barely bother.

Last time I counted my feeds vs pops, in about 3000 feeds I got four pops, so around 1 in 750. So you're unlucky. This pop rate is so rare there'd be no way to check if the high-rarity minions pop at any rate less than their likelihood to appear in general. You'd need to get a whole Cult to generate numbers.

In any case, if you were hoping to "get value" with a pop rate anything close to ten times this even, you'd have to spend pitiful amounts of sP to feed each minion and the since rarity is not equal to sP-value, the rare minions you get would often have to be the Artifact ones which would kinda devalue one of the reasons for buying CSC. Value isn't part of why anyone'd do this particular activity.

Some Achievements are hard to get. This is one of them. I haven't gotten this one, nor have I gotten the Random one or the Fishing one. I know when I first got the Cursed title, there were only four people in all of Subeta who had it.

Maybe I was just going through an unlucky streak. It happens. Even if I am just unlucky, though, I still think the rates should be looked at by the staff.

I realize that no one is ever going to make money from this game. That's never been the point. Judging from the other posts on this thread, most people don't even realize that there's even a chance of having the bubbles pop. That, in my eyes, is a problem. I'm guessing most people look at the game, say "what's the point?" and tick it off as a game that they don't want to play whether there's an achievement or not.

How crazy is it, that I was sitting around, feeding minions and what not, and I was like wow, this doesn't seem like a popular feature at all, they should make it so sometimes you get the minion you feed? So I make my way onto this board... and find out that's already a thing... just extremely rare.

tldr; They should really raise the rate of it.

I agree, up the chances. Keeping it rare is good, but so rare that not a lot of people even know about it or feel like playing is bad.

I myself feed for the fun of it X3 Helps me add to my wl too, love minions lol

Agreed! I was just thinking earlier that the bubbles should pop every once in a while and apparently they do xD Has anyone noticed what type of minions pop? Are they all buyable in NPC shops or do collection/retired/artifact minions have a chance as well?

Seeing as the "Pop" is the main prize I definitely think that it should be possible to get the prize more often. Maybe have the pop rate based on rarity? Such as 1-89 = 1/10 chance of popping 90-99 - 1/20 Special ones -1/40 Motivate people to actually play the game.

I'd love to have a one-off achievement for this considering that it's so rare. I think I've only ever had this happen twice to me.

Yeah, I'd like for the rate to be lowered as well.

same here, the rate of the bubbles being popped is simply too low :(

I would love even a slight increase for the bubbles to pop. FREE THE MINIONSSSSS
