0.4.0d Hotfix 2

The core of the issue here is that GGG gave us a problem to solve, the temple requires locks to solve the problem. So we solved it we got clever with placement (takes a missive amount of time investment) added enough chambers that have a "high" chance to give the medallion and other medallions as well and we get nothing all of the sudden. You took the problem that we were meant to solve in a great mechanic (long term time investment on the temple gives amazing rewards) and made it unsolvable. RNG isn't even supposed to be a problem because we can negate it with more and more spymasters. Even if diminishing returns was a thing that implies that the first X would still be at 100% functionality. What a lot of us are experience is negative returns. The outlier runs shouldn't be getting 4 locks in a run it should be getting 1 to no locks, but right now its reverse.

man oh man, I wish GGG simplified crystals obtain for temple, especially to the end of the league...
I got 12+days /played and would love to build a new temple, but.. just to place architect in the right spot and 2x rooms in my snake took me 200+maps farming for crystals.. It's such a cancer, I cannot take it anymore:D

It is what it is with GGG, if you want to have some fun, you got to feel a lot of pain first for some reason...
Roo was right, if Jhonattan created cond-oms, it would say on a packet ''10%chance to have holes''

Locks arent a problem…the problem is doing 25 temples and not getting a single spymaster. Anyone else?

300 runs and not getting a single sac chamber. anyone else ?

Same problem for over two weeks.

LOL 3 run with 16 spymaster T3 and ZERO lock

GGG, its beyond time you address this.

"High chance for Juatalotli's Medallion".... then going multiple runs without seeing one while spymasters drop treasure vault medallions?

nice shadow nerfing again lost half temple cuz no locks in 4 runs GG GGG nice company

Hey,

One simple feedback on temple. Let me see my current count on temple red things without the need to go to temple e.g. current count in maps says I'm "6 of 6" I go to temple I'm "24 of 30”. Please reduce cognitive load. P s. Love what you guys do. You are awesome. Stand fast and stay true.

I'm not sure how anyone can say with a straight face that locks weren't shadow-nerfed (or bugged) after the hotfix—especially if you ran a fully upgraded 70+ room temple pre-hotfix.

This isn't a simple case of 'bad RNG' but law of large numbers at this point.

It's also entirely possible there's some negative scaling going on where having more spymasters past some threshold causes them to drop non-lock medallions (especially room re-rolls).

Almost all of my locks (averaging under 2 in the long-term) come from T3 garrisons, smithies, or alcs (meta tech 11 spymaster temple).

It's a fact. If I manage to get at least 1 lock (if I'm lucky), it's usually the smithy, alchemy or garrison.
