Discussion: How to "fix" the Curious Carnival of Horror Event

Tue Nov 22, 2016 11:41 am

Well, there may or not (?) be some problems with some aspects of this event, but, enough babbling, how would you "fix" the event? 

Here is one quick suggestion:

There are five chests in Bonus Encounter of every difficulty, a random one will drops a certain amount of Unrefined Gems + event itens, 17~20 Unrefined Gems on Legendary in this case.
Fix:
Make all five chests drop Unrefined Gems, 4 drops on a low amount (3~5, don't drop event itens) and the random "chosen one" keeps dropping the same what is already dropping (17~20 Unrefined Gems + Event Itens) .

This way, people that can only kill 2 chests can gamble a little and don't feel like wasted their time by not getting any Unrefined Gems for not killing the "chosen one"

With this change people that can't kill all chests will at least be able to purchase more in the bazaar, the ones that already can kill all chests, well those deserve better trade ratio in the bazaar as its already being discussed here:

Edit: Bad Typing and some value change

sounds good if all chest drops unrefined gems so players won't feel like a waste of time after killing afew chest and notice they don't have enough time to kill chest.

My suggestion:

I think able to tell which chest is the 'real' chest might help too so people can use strategy to focus on that chest instead of all the chests. The "Inspect" function would help a lot.

This is an a-mei-zing (kill me) idea!! This would direct people to use inspect more and more!

Oooo the idea of having all chests drop gems sounds cool

Like, true chest will have higher HP than other chests?

Could be? Just some sort of difference in stats would be the most immediate idea I can think of. Or higher def?

then everybody would just pull the right inspect box - what strategy is that?

it should still be random, with the correct box having more jewels and the rest maybe 1-2 jewel

Why not just create another kind of treasure box with different looking? The inspect part simply waste the player more time and gives the same outcome.

Perhaps the game can add a new potion that allows player to reveal all present enemies' information. And inspection will allow you to check the revealed information.

there's actually a way to know which is the 'right' chest. I happen to notice something when my game shuts down and I need to reopen the game and the game asked me if I wanna resume the battle. and then somehow I noticed a glitch which I have been making use of it while I was doing my gold quest.

now, whenever u enter a battle the system will assigned what will be dropped when u kill the specific monster.

for example, 8 unrefined gems and 2 dolls IF u kill the designated chest, and this is fixed once u enter a battle. there's a lot of people saying is difficult to burst the right chest if u probably only have enough fire power to burst one and u would like to be the right one for the unrefined gems, so what u do is at the chest stage focus your fire on one particular chest, if u happen to get the right one then just continue with the boss stage, BUT if the chest that u pop gives u only gold, what u can do now is just wait for the infernal gates and see which chest is the hobo taking away and u will know which is the right one. simply shuts down the game and reopen it and at the title screen u will be asked if u wanna resumed your battle, and it will go back to the first stage and now u know exactly which chest to pop!!!

hope this help and hopefully I don't trigger the alarm for them to fix this. anyway, for those that understands me, use your brain and u can work out how to apply this trick to help u to go down faster to deeper stages for the gold quest
