As the title says, game put me and 1 other guy into a chaos gate and no one else - which made the thing impossible. We got to the final boss but couldn’t get him down in time. It used up our daily ticket too. Used a load of pots and plumes as a result - seems very unfair to be put into an impossible situation, made to use items, when you have no actual shot at the reward. My question / support request is twofold;
Is the fact it was just the two of us intentional game design or did it break?
Can I have my pots and plumes back considering the game literally gave me 0 chance to actually complete the gate?
yeah South Vern, was ~1.5m past start but there were still people entering when I was - or at least, there were people by the portal. The second guy joined me after I’d torn down the starting barrier (we got the punika layout). Just seemed kinda strange as I’ve joined just before the portal closed before and still had ~15 people in my gate.
3 months ago you could jump in whenever, these days, if there’s only a handful on ch1 you better wait for the next timeslot cause you don’t know how many are on the other channels, sure… has nothing to do with player attrition … ideally this crap content would scale to the number of players inside but hey… game design 101 eh?
I am sorry to hear you were not able to complete the Chaos gate and therefore lost some valuables. Unfortunately, none of these can be returned once consumed but you may pass on your feedback in the Feedback section of the forums or you can also submit your valuable feedback by filing a web ticket here.
oh, do you like talking well about BAD DESIGN ? That is not good.
Its not scaled based on people.
30 people will kill it so fast, you might have hard time even getting contribution as a sup.
Sometimes i can only kill few bosses even on dps, because my pc is so slow it gets obliterated in seconds.
Meanwhile worst it is for new players - they cant finish low tier chaos gates at all because of that, since some are downright unbeatable unless you get at least 5 people or more - and gl with that at low tiers.
if you dont tear down the starting barrier and just leave then it wont count and you can do it in the next hour.
There are around 3 times it happen to me.
And I am 100% sure it wont count if you dont destroy the 1st barrier.
At what hour did you go? Because I’m Sunday late night there aren’t that many ppl playing since they might have things to do on Monday, so going in in late night Sunday and entering almost 2min late sounds normal for me that there wasn’t many ppl to join you in Chaos gate
Never said it’s a good design. My relic set bonuses not working there, cannot enter in party, lower tiers of gates scale you down to the base level etc etc. I’m not a fan.
ty all for the feedback, I think as mentioned it just reflects very poor game design. Chaos gates are equalised but not balanced per players in the gate; would be more sensible for the game to effectively hold a gate until at least 5-10 people are present and then let you continue, or to balance it to the number of players present. Nothing in the game should be impossible with just 1 person, including the old islands, but sadly that’s just not true. Lesson learned! As a friend pointed out, I went in at the same time as the first set of Adventure Islands became available - that probably also contributed.
why not remove chaos gates altogether? I’d rather they make treasure maps random drops from chaos dungeons and then actually make FUN dungeons to explore, because let’s be honest, chaos gate means hoping for rage rune that never drops and then tp-ing out without bidding on a stupid leg map for 5k+ gold only to LFG three other guys with blue or purple map to run another stupidly simple “dungeon” where you only pick up dropped loot from the already dead “boss” if you happen to come second… I mean… wtf?! ditch this crap already and create something that is actually fun?! I stopped doing gates btw…
I mean they’re several thousand gold in income per gate you do so thats a nice reason to have them =p even if they are super repetitive - that and the copium for a relic map
