Jewel drop rate has been decreased,AGAIN!

Nightmare Elemental Temple with SS rank used to give you a jewel almost every time you completed it. Now you get one every 5 matches.

There was already ridiculous before because you had to complete around 100 matches with SS rank to get 80 jewels and now you have to complete over 400 matches. I

It's almost like they want to give you more and more reasons to leave this game for good. Your playerbase is shrinking every month and all you do is add stupid crates with reskinned weapons ( M4,AK,they like those two) and VIPs and lower the drop rates for the Black Market and Zombie Mode. How about you fix that client error thing? Hackers that go under the map don't get any error and if a legit player slightly glitches inside a box you get kicked out immediately. At this point only whales "fund" their game.

  • How many times did you test it? 100? 1000? It was always a chance. You were lucky. Now you ain't. Unless you can prove this claim by doing it a couple of thousand times, the data is not proving anything.

    A couple of thousand matches? LOL

    It was a chance mate,but that chance got lowered. So you're telling me that i was "lucky" 40 times in 50 matches and now,suddenly, in September i was "lucky" to get 20 jewels in 60+ matches? If the chances stayed as high as they used to be i would've continued to get jewels almost every match.

    Remember when Crater Dawn was released? AK Buster was an easy win and after a while they stopped dropping.

    I don't need to complete this mode thousands of times to realise that something has changed. The game is full online so they can change little things like this without shutting down the servers.

  • This is false.
    When the patch released a GM claimed the drop rate was around 30% if you completed SS Nightmare.
    I doubted it since it sounded pretty high.
    After 350 games, I'd say 30% is pretty much a correct drop rate.
  • Wouldn't be that strange if they do lower the winning % of crystals. There have been so many players that farm them and then sell them, a thing that isn't good for a game's economy in the long run, As there is a thing called inflation. Making it harder to get them will equalize supply and demand in 6 months or so. Z8 might also think that people are getting free ZP a little too easy, i don't think they will be to happy if a lot of people are getting their hands on VVIP's for free, by just grinding a lot. Free crates and such is one thing, as are 10.000 free ZP and a give away of a couple of VVIPs each year, but remember they are still a company that needs to make money.

    That said, I don't think they lowered the winning % of crystals yet. That the winning % of the AK is lowered is false. I begun playing crater-dawn very late, and I'm drowning in AK's now. When i upgraded mine to silver, the next box i opened was an AK. I have also gotten many AKs in boxes that i don't get because i have max number already, so i get to reopen the box next time i login. If you have trouble getting AKs, it's just rotten luck.

  • I stop playing ZM ET for a while, maybe doing couple of runs each day when possible, currently doing events only but I remember the latest games completed (around ~50) the drop was so little, maybe 1-2 in those 50 runs. Also feel like the drop rate changed.

    Are you sure you were lucky 40 times in 50 matches because that sounds fake. I used to play up to 60 to get close to 20 jewels, never passed 21jewels after more than 12 hours of playing when map was released. The win rate is the same in my opinion.

    How do you know it? random claims because you got no crystals in like 10 games? Have you ever had probabilities and percentage math in school? You can't go ahead and say "facts I tried it" without trying it a looooooot of times.

    It's like when they make a survey of 1000 people then saying that they have the definitive opinion of all the people in a country, like before an election. They are almost never right.

    No, they aren't. But 1000 represent a majority better than doing it 5 or so times and not getting some crystals.

    Yeah, but think of the comparison of the two things. How few percentages they test with those thousands and still get it wrong. Then think about how many times he have to run through EM Nightmare and win to get a answer in comparable accuracy and will still probably get the guess of the percentage wrong.

    He tries 2 times, wins once and its 50%
    then he tries 2 times more, and wins both times, he believes it's 75%
    He tries 6 times again and wins none, he is at 30%
    Getting harder the longer he tries until he starts to come up to the level where he have played so many games that he just have to guess the 0,01%.

    I wonder what the percentage of him getting it exactly right is? :p:D
