    What BB fail to realize when they change things is all the time (and money for some) invested by players is changed too, so no weapons in loot means players have to change how they do adventures, all books invested in specialists like finding that extra deposit like my geologist hasn't found for months is worthless too and causes players to get angry that they are no longer getting what was paid for / earned.

    How can players give positive feedback when all the changes are negative for the players and the game?

    Must be, because I got Granite loot every single day during the past 3 weeks, so seems like the code doesn't apply for me.
    But before the Combat changes, I had 50 Dark Priests dry of Granite (at 50% chance).
    Other than that, we need to realize that while BB is surely aware that Granite is more popular than Saltpeter, in their eyes, Granite is a loot like any other and from what you can see, they consider 10 Saltpeter as desirable as 1 Granite. Which, in the long term future, might even hold true: A highlevel max player is more likely to lose cannons than upgrade a building.


    (wow, successfully derailed)

    I'm not getting any more or less Snow than previously.
    On a side note: Rarity search just came back with 50 Guild Coins and a Rainbow snow on my Lucker.

    Well, I played minimum of 3 adventures a day and gained 50k ewl's and 15k tit ore but got 2k granite during that run.....
    So i speak from my own expirience. I do not think that command applies on single player, rather it applies on half the server. Just like collectables during the event. Some people constanlty are short in 1 collectable group, while the other group on the server gets those.....
    As for your witty remark; don't quit your day job.

    The buffs drop percentage hasn't changed, most of u are just having some bad luck that's all.

    Its a 1 in 11 drop that you'll get a rainbow so if u have 15 scouts its still only 1 in 11 chance for each.

    Anyone else experience that they lowered the % of finding Bag Of Rainbow buffs? Sending out around 15-16 fully upgraded explorers but haven't got a single Rainbow buff for more than a week now.

    Probably just bad luck but would be interesting to hear what others say...

    month or 2 ago (about when i finished upgrading last fast scout) it seemed to get more random. lot more 1 finds and a little more 3 finds per round of 18 (21 chances total with luckys bonus finds). i even had a few times of 0 - that had literally never happened before!
    up to that point it was the most non random random thing ive ever seen. it was like 90% of the time they would come back with 2.

    answer to question: have not noticed any change.

    I'm finding pretty much the same buffs with my lucky's and the same treasure balance with the treasure searches in general. Haven't noticed any change.
    Sorry, but I've slept since then...
