[quote name="Vhyxalas" date="2014-08-17 23:05:43"]Hooray for tail feathers! A serious and non-complaining question to the admins, though: why are Fragment sell-values being [i]reduced[/i]? Like, seriously. I get you're trying to rebalance the Coli, but making stuff that's actually a decent source of money less worth it...just kinda sucks. I'm sure everyone at least appreciates the advance warning this time. But this puts [i]another [/i]damper on future festival grinding sessions..[/quote] It's not our intention to make coliseum less profitable. We're trying to balance it and how it behaves. That's going to mean a combination of treasure adjustments, drop rate adjustments, item additions, item removals, and new items. Hybrid fragments - that drop in higher level venues - saw a buff to coincide with the nerf, in addition to the smaller buffs and additions we've been implementing as we go. If an enemy had a 0.5% chance to drop a might fragment that was reduced from 500 to 400 treasure, you'll see an average .5 tr loss per battle for enemies that had that item. (It's really quite small, because fragments don't drop commonly.) If an enemy receives a new trinket that is not replacing something, but all new on its own, it's an increase. Example: adding a trinket that drops 60% of the time for 26 treasure results in a 15.6tr average increase per battle for that enemy type. We're adding in a lot more common drops for many enemies, and will continue to do so. Unique coliseum drops result in less lootless battles, items that correspond better with what you are slaying, and greater control over the loot tables and reward curve. While some updates will have more decreases and some will have more increases, in the end we hope to have a well-rounded coliseum that feels good and rewarding to play! Please hang in there with us!
