17 explorers, no eggs since last update...

This achievement has multiple tiers. We do not expect every player to reach the maximum tier.

I won't disagree with that. However, I am a L50 with a good base of explorers and I play a lot, so they are always out on searches, and prior to the mid-event change, I was on track to hit that maximum tier. I no longer am, and I don't think the "shovel" change can fully explain that.

This is nuts i used a LOT of resources to book my explorers -- i just had 4 of em all come back from medium searches with ZERO eggs... and my luckies who i paid to get and book are coming back only 15% or so of the time w/ eggs.

Hi everyone,

In the latest changelog, we talked about the explorers:

• The Skill "Sturdy Shovel" works now as intended when Stripy Eggs were found by an Explorer

If you had this skill level 3, the explorers would bring back approximately +37% of loot, instead of the intended +9%.
This is why explorers are finding less eggs since the latest update. The chance of finding eggs has not been changed.

Cordially,
BB_Endesmor

Endesmor, this is an absolute BS *twirl the cape, distract* response and you KNOW it.

Your 'excuse' somehow says that BEFORE the change and FOR ALL TIME(?) that a few books in a FEW of our explorers affected ALL OUR explorers?

The simple fact is ALL explorers are bringing back VASTLY less eggs than before. Not to the amount of 37-50% but LESS THAN HALF, easily less than half. ALL EXPLORERS even ones with no books.

I don't know if they paid you extra bonuses to write up that obvious LIE(Not even bs here, your outright LYING to the customer because if your NOT your gullible and dumb as a sack of stones to believe what u just typed) Good one there with customer service champ.

This was a change that you COULD claim as some big mistake 'oops we messed up' and tweek it back, but instead your gonna sit here and do this?

The drop rate of eggs in adventures has not been changed.

Oh look, whats this? an insult? WHO do u expect to ever reach that tier? Since, as you said its a ONE TIME RESOURCE, people can't 'catch up' next year, this is the ONE AND ONLY chance. And you got ALL of them max allowable explorer players who have books allocated into all of them saying they WON'T reach that tier. so I ask JUST WHO do u expect to reach that achievement? If the players who have ALL the explorers and ALL of them are booked up, and ALL of them being sent out with no downtime are not the people you expect to get it, WHO will?

Totally agree with this post. The BB explanation is crap and we all know it. Not like it is going to change anything though....

"This achievement has multiple tiers. We do not expect every player to reach the maximum tier."

OK but you're not giving us a reasonable alternative achievement to get the Easter building to level 6 WITHOUT having to do expeditions (of course I suppose the same answer applies here: "we're not expecting all players to reach level 6 of that building"). It's unfair to force even level 50 players to do expeditions in order to get the maximum building level, nevermind the lower-level players. So you're dangling a carrot ("upgrade the building to level 6 to get 190 extra settlers!"), but no way for the average player to get there within the given length of the event.

Unless the point is to force people to do expeditions. It won't work

And again BB is pissing off their own customer base, potential gem buyers. I have 8 explorers with the shovel skill (including luckies) and 9 without. The drop rate of eggs was drastically reduced (not only numbers but also the chance of getting it on ALL EXPLORERS EVEN THOSE WITHOUT BOOKS.

BB your PR is a total disaster because... of your treatment of your customers. In other words - you have a PR problem because... YOU have a problem. Your bad customer rap is due to your own decisions, your own responds and your own doing. I hope that someone from UBISOFT will (by some miracle) read this and get hard on you for creating such bad rap for your own company and your own product and for ultimately lacking any skills into fixing it. Without either insulting your customers or completely losing any credibility.

I think they should admit they got adventure numbers reversed with the explorer numbers in achievements
I had max adventure achievement in one day and may if goes back to what it was get explorer max
the explanation of shovel working would only alter the results by a few eggs /search
20% of 40 eggs is 8 and 9% is rounded up 4

I'm especially unhappy that the explorer eggs got changed mid event to be worse now that I have the event quest for my explorers to bring back eggs.

I feel like BB stepped on my *******. Mid-event, no less. I watched people breeze through this quest and now I'm stuck waiting for explorers to come back empty handed over and over.

Gee, thanks.

People who play every day should be able to achieve this though, no ?

[Atma-Darkwolf]

i play every day, even (laugh if u will) have alarms set for the luckies9Since they only take 9hrs or so) so they get shipped out at least twice a day.

I do my regular login-logout cycle every 12hrs roughly, collect loots, run a few traitors(during event)

18 explorers(3 lucky 1 special 11 savage adn the 3taverns) and BEFORE the 'fix' I was on track to gain enough via the explorers(that achivment) having just hit around 1575 eggs(JUST hit the 1600 tier after update actually, from explorers sent before downtime)

Now Im at maybe 2000. If this keeps up(roughly around 100 eggs a day from explorers, where before update I was getting 5x as many) I will NOT reach that final tier.

This coming from someone who can sit down and spend 5 hrs playing adv, and micromanaging the game every 9-12 hrs(with alarms set to make sure no explorer is down for long)

I cringe for the poor new guys, or even those who have a few savages. No chance in bloody heck anyone in those shoes could pull this achievement off.
