I for one can't wait to be disappointed!

EDIT:
Quote:
When entering the content with a Venus Orb or Mars Orb, the final treasure chest will undergo the following change, except in the case of mimics.

Venus Orb: Increases the chances of receiving a rainbow chest.

Mars Orb: There is a chance the chest will remain a wooden chest.

They made it WORSE to use Mars orbs!

There's a chance you don't win when you win. Pure genius Fujito. My faith has been restored.

I'm cautiously optimistic about the rainbow chests actually having good stuff.

A rainbow loud thud is pretty much "Ever won so hard, that you lost?"

There's always been a chance you don't win when you win?

Before Rainbow/Gold chests were added, you could get 8/9 noises and get garbage.

There's never been a guarantee you're going to get anything good, including a loud thud, no matter how many chests you open. Some runs you will just get ***. Like always.

Got 10 platitudes instead of my 10 Deeds of Heroism for watching the monthly chocobo race.

Gonna quit playing until they fix this, seems like a rollback situation.

Seeing all of these removed is awesome.


The devs are basically telling us to switch to Venus Orbs now, as they upped the chances of getting Loud Thuds and decreased Noises while nerfing Mars. That's fine with me, because it means if you have a stock of vouchers you will get through them faster.

I'm interested to see what these extra "hints" are in the messages.

As I understand it, they're talking specifically about the chest that upgrades when you 'win' the game by successfully opening the 8th chest. This didn't exist until the adjustment that brought gold/rainbow chests.

It doesn't matter that you thought the reward was garbage, it matters that the chest upgraded and your reward came from a different loot pool. The point of this update was to remove the junk and make the event more rewarding, so a gold chest is now a LT and will actually feel like winning. The problem is that mars orbs will have a chance to not upgrade at all, which is not a win.

They'll fix it, but they will never roll anything back. Not ever.

I hate AMAN Trove with a passion as it's a glorified gambling machine designed to get players to cough up more money for alts.

In saying that, these changes are welcome. I am sick and tired of farming up vouchers to maybe see 1-3 Loud Thuds a month net me a shard, a cursed item, or nothing... because I already have whatever the drop was. This is a positive change to the worst "content" in the game.

Odd they didn't remove the amp from the loot list. That one is still a real kick in the teeth.

Well considering how fast they updated it, I kinda expected them to F stuff up. Guess I am putting off doing Peculiar Foes RoEs. Don't want to not get my rewards.
