The point of this feedback thread is to say how disappointed I am at the lack of news post about the change in fragging returns.

We didn't have to be told what ratio returns r160 and r175 items have been changed to but a heads up that they have been changed would have been nice.

Please don't turn this in to a debate on how much those rarities should return this thread is about the lack of information given that there was a change.

Just a heads up incase you didn't know this already

What were they changed to?

I don't mind them being changed. Fragging ratios are something that should be adjusted whenever they get out of whack, imo. But yeah, if these were changed without warning there should have been mention of it either in the news or in an announcement.

that was posted in the news yesterday that there was a rarity change in the coda cave crystals

- I must be going blind because I saw no warning that all r160 and r175 items were changing. Where was this?

it was posted yesterday at 7:44 pm

We've changed the rarity of the Coda Caves crystals to 160 (Game Prize) so they are now able to be fragged! If you want to take the risk, you might be able to turn in your Coda Caves crystals in exchange for one that hums a bit.

- I'm not talking about coda cave crystals, I'm talking about ALL r160 AND r175.

So the r160 anf r175 is not 1 for 1 now? Any idea of the average of how many crystals per items is?

Did this just happen yesterday when they added the crystals to the mix or has it been changed for a while?

- You're going to have to work that out for yourself I'm afraid, or start a thread in general discussion. This thread is for feedback on the lack of news.

lull means that the HPC payout ratio has been changed on those rarities. They used to give you an HPC iirc 100% of the time, and now they reduced it without mentioning it in the news.

It's not 1 for 1 now? They changed the rarity of HPC given out? This is the whole reason I keep shards and coda crystals, is so I can get at least 1 HPC for each shard/crystal. This sucks. I didn't know anything about this.

- that's correct the ratio has changed and there was no news about it.

Just when I was finally beginning to focus on building my HPC count. Ugh! I'll still frag the shards/crystals but it's a bummer.

Add me to the complainants about not being informed of a huge ratio change like this.

At the very least, a Site Update ping would've been appreciated. Why didn't that happen?

Same. :/

they seem to be 50%, not 100%, according to the news post comments

I don't really think this needed to be announced though a line or two about it in the news certainly wouldn't have hurt.

I noticed this last night when I was fragging my coda caves crystals and I'm unhappy that we weren't notified. This is the second time in recent months they changed the crystal ratio on us without saying a word :/

Murph thanks :)

no problem! :3

Yeah, they're usually cheaper than things that give close to 100% (or 100% idk I don't frag often to know), so it makes sense for them to have changed. Glad I got my shinwas temple shard when I did.

It would have been nice to be informed. I guess when they add a huge hoarding item to the mix the might want to do some adjusting, but I don't why someone couldn't let us know.

Maybe the 'if you want to take a risk' could be seen as a hint that it wasn't 1:1 anymore, but it's unnecessarily vague.
