Coalition rewards are in!

So, with all the high tension right now between D3 and us the players, I really expected today to see a huge overhaul of the game before this fiasco created by pure greed destroys this game for all of us.
Instead I find that the weekend event Revolt against the consulate has had its rewards altered as well.
No longer will the too coalitions at least have the chance at increasing there mythic collection the only way it seems possible in this game to this point with the horrible drop rates.
No, we will now be given an AER rare only. Something already guaranteed in the packs.

Thank you for another slap in the face

These aren't coalition rewards -- at least not mine.

Coalition events and a chance to win a mythic was the only thing keeping most top players in the game... this IS THE END GAME! You know the place you work to get to? And you have totally messed it up by replacing a guaranteed mythic with 7.5% of a CHANCE for a masterpiece.

Oh, and the top 5 award for the new individual event tomorrow?

Old event reward for top 5:
AER Mythic, 125 G, KLD Fat pack
New event reward for top 5:
KLD Booster, 30 crystals, 20 jewels.

WHY guys? You replaced a mythic with 1/20th of a mythic? And reduced the other payouts? Way to reward the extremely difficult task of being one of the best .1% of an event. Don't worry though, all reward tiers are just as brutally nerfed.

Forget you guys. I am going to ask everyone in my coalition, our feeder coalitions, as well as affiliate guilds and everyone else I have ever met in the game to refuse to spend another penny on this nonsense game.

FINALLY. They took away the free mythics 200 people got every week. That's a good change.

Bad change
They totally ruined them. Like, completely and utterly butchered your coalition rewards. It should be more like 75 Unobtainium and 100 xtals for top 2 now, and 50 Unobtainium and 75 xtals for top 10. They really don't get how ridiculously worthless the Unobtainium is at this point do they.

Edit: Changed to Unobtainium, thanks bken

D3 Dev team meeting this AM:
"Well the entire community seems to be outraged and on the border of quitting the game."
"Well lets roll out the new event reward which we have SIGNIFICANTLY decreased, that will keep them happy!"

It makes NO SENSE!

I have been spending money, in the "hopes" that I will be able to get in the top ten so that I can earn better cards in a top ten coalition.

Now that hope is gone, so I have no more reason to spend money on your game.

This kills the aspirational draw of getting good enough to join a top tier group.

I got my first #1 finish in silver to earn Planar Bridge last Inventors Fair and am finally considering moving up to gold with the eventual goal of applying to one of the top groups. They absolutely earn and deserve the steady stream of mythics they get and joining that rank did represent the 'end game'.

Now it's just a faster rate gain to earn a broken card lotto ticket.

They need to reel this thing back in before they lose everybody. My wife and I aren't whales, but we have spent about $150 each since August when we started, which isn't peanuts.

The conversation this week could have been if Exquisite Archangel was worth it. Now it's whether or not to switch games.

While you reading this Brigby could you ask Dev team to remove the single biggest insult which is this recent patch ?
can we go back to pre 1.10.2 please ? [rant over]

crazyinsanity

I couldn't agree more. I will join you in not spending any more on this game. And I have been purchasing special offers 3-4 times each month lately.

I can see Hibernum will reading this.....we await some sort of reasonable or even semi illogical explanation for continuing to alienate all of us that give a rip about this game.

Flaricus

I am with ya Barbar, miss chatting up with you guys on Slack, this is slowly pushing me even further away from the game as before.

andrewvanmarle

Getting that mythic when you ranked top 10 with your coalition was absolutely the draw to do well, to get up at 4 am to clear your nodes and to tinker at your decks till they are as perfect as can be.


Dear devs: please reconsider: instead of a mythic we get 3.75% of a mythic when playing top 10, this is really not worth grinding for. A good reward is part of what makes an event fun. The drive to earn a mythic was what built the coalitions and the community.


Big time players are allready leaving, and if that continues you end up with no players at all.

I really want the game to last, and I've'spent enough on it to consider myself a whale, I'd'be sad to see this game go...

For the time being I'm'not spending money anymore. And this doesn't'get better i'll'move on to something else just like quite a few ingame friends allready have.

Looking purely at Progression rewards for a Platinum player, the weekend used to yield:
95 Crystals
2500 Runes
2 KLD boosters

Now combining the two weekend events, we get:
45 Jewels
60 Crystals
2000 Runes
2 KLD boosters

So technically we are getting more over the weekend than before but for more effort as we now have to play two events. This is based on the assumption that 1 Mana Jewel is worth more than 1 Mana Crystal.

For OGW (2-day event) then and now it's:
KLD Rare
90 vs 55 Crystals
1000 vs 2500 Runes
2 KLD boosters

So this one is quite a bit worse unless you are in severe lack of Runes.

The good news for those chasing Mana Jewels is that you get 3 days worth of Jewels relative to Trial of the Planes for the weekend progression for 120 Jewels a week. If the weekday Single-Day events yield Jewels too then coupled with a little more from coalition rewards, Platinum players could be getting a try at the MM (Mythic/Masterpiece) Roulette every 3 weeks instead of 4 at the cost of 900 Crystals instead of 1620 Crystals.

However, you're going to have a hard time earning 300 Crystals each week now looking at how rewards have been adjusted, and this way of playing pretty much excludes you from ever spending Crystals on the normal packs for other cards. It's going to be tough to collect all the cards when the next new set comes out.

Collecting feedback is something I've been doing ever since the patch was released. Rest assured, I will be compiling all the sentiment the community has been providing, and relaying it to the developers.

PastrySpider

Ok, look. I really try hard to give you guys the benefit of the doubt. I try and be positive and offer constructive, actionable feedback about this game but I am nearing the end of my patience.

Can we please have someone address why the decision was made to drastically cut the value of top coalition rewards before half my the coalition walk? And please don't try and make the argument that 30 jewels is in any way an equal substitute for a mythic.

andrewvanmarle

Then please collect this feedback: chasing mythics with my coalition is fun. chasing a handfull of unobtanium jewels is not. I've'stuck around for a lot of player experience downgrades, but this takes the cake, and this one makes me seriously consider hanging up my cape. (i.e. quit)

Dear D3,

I find the disconnect and lack of true connection between the devs and the customer truly disheartening. In what universe besides absolute and utter greed does this plan improve the game. The lack of input that is received and input into this game is astonishing. If you want to kill this game D3 you have started the avalanche.....good luck saving anyone after this horrible play at cash.

Pre patch
Drop rates = horrible
Coalitions = working and improving
Rewards. = decent but could be better

After patch
Purple gems = insane madness due to pulling bad cards from random pack after grinding out a ridiculous = amount of matches and tournaments.
Drop rates = broken further due to less packs giving a chance at something good + nothing done about dupe rates of mythics and rares.
Coalitions = breaking down due to rewards not being worth the grind.
Rewards = no one wants purple gems we want mythics. How hard is it to guarantee a none dupe mythic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good job D3 on destroying your product.

Well done!!!!

This has to be your CEO's mission statement since no other possibility for these actions would make any sense.

Goodluck,

daddystyx

What is your address dude because I would like to post you a big stick to relay that sentiment with?

(This is a joke by the way before I get hit with a forum ban for threatening behavior!)

Don't you mean unobtainium.

I always purchase my planeswalkers with the crystal's I earn over the week by completing events and quick battles.

By slashing our crystals for progression, and coalition rewards it is effectively reducing my ability to get these planeswalkers without spending money for crystals.

Nice.

Ya think? Lol, good luck getting mythics when you get a little deeper.
