Just amazed they chose during the Easter event to make the changes to the explorers; wouldn't have hurt to delay that until after the event given all the other bugs introduced previously.

So you changed the rules drastically after a week when quite a few of us had decided the expected amount of eggs we could reasonably get? You then didn't tell us about it. Did they actually check this in the game or did they just check their internal update list? Have they run a couple of hundred searches to see if things actually work as they should or are they once again just assuming things are working because they didn't mean to change anything? Past experiences have thought us that the devs and programmers are rather useless at their jobs. Like insisting that the explorer event bugs were just graphical glitches when the forums was full of proof of the opposite. How do they manage to deploy so many bugs to the live server? What is the test server even for?Originally Posted by BB_Ravel
What are the percentages for finding eggs? We could help to check if enough of us just reported our findings but it's hard to do when we don't know what to expect. Why is basic information always obfuscated and hidden?
I also have 3 lucky explorers and since the maintenance they have found zero eggs not only that but they no longer bring back buffs, granted it was only wheat field buffs and the likes but now nothingand all my others are not bringing back very many now
I think BB should consider a week or so of free refunds of all books for those who invested in the turdy shovel. This would allow people to revise their choices accordingly without incurring any losses of science resource.I also have 3 lucky explorers and since the maintenance they have found zero eggs not only that but they no longer bring back buffs, granted it was only wheat field buffs and the likes but now nothing

Sorry Ravel but I cant see how this is working as intended.
If you want to convince us you need to give us the following info ;
1) chance of x,x,x eggs per search
2) confirmation if luckies are supposed to have extra slots(s) for eggs or not
because I am seeing massively different results and with the returns I am getting I think I am now at risk of not making the 3200 achievment where i was well past half way with only 1 week gone
Thats with 3 luckies, 7 fast and 3 tavern
So explain how many explorers we are expected to need to be able to achieve the 3200 with these find rates!
You want reimbursing for the fact that now they are working as intended your not getting so many, good luck with that.
When it comes to Gene pools and shallow ends they can be found at the bar drinking pina colada's
Yes, i have Trouble seeker on all of them.
Normal and speedy explorers were bringing up to 2 slots of eggs, lucky ones were bringing up to 3 slots.
After the maintenance all explorers bring just 1 slot and if in the past from my 15 speedy ones, up to 5 were bringing one slot of eggs or none, now i get 5 drops of eggs from them ...
Hate to say it guys but mine seem to be working normally through out. They have not brought back huge amounts all the time, just in the middle range, with some bringing back the top amount balanced with some bringing back none at all. Maybe those who had a good run in the first week are now getting the negative side of the overall percentage, and are therefore seeing `foul play' on BB's side where none really exists. Having said that, I don't blame you at all for thinking this way, I said after the inter server event, that trust was never going to be the same again between players and BB if they kept `their workings' hidden from the players, combined with the amount of bugs that turn out to effect `working as designed' aspects of the game.
For those wanting the conspiracy theory, a cynic might combine the drop of in egg finds during the second week with a `happy hour' as even more compelling evidence to the cause
I would like to add that I like the improved Diary's and updates. We are getting a faster flow of `useful' information from BB_Ravel and the dev team. I just hope it lasts longer than when improvements in this department happened on test....which didn't last long
Are we to be told of adventure changes or not? 1 Month on and still SNEAKY RB changes have not been mentioned
How were we to know that the turdy shovel wasn't working as intended?? Its description is "allows finding x% more loot on treasure searches". Eggs are found on treasure searches, ergo eggs are loot... Had BB bothered to post the chances of find x amount of eggs per search, then we would have clicked ages ago. But for them to have us believe for, what 2 years now is it? that they had previously been working as intended is just mystifying
My three fast and three normal expolorers brought more eggs than my lucky ones in total,respectively for each type. I have 3 lucky and 5-6 long/very long searches only results in one of them bringing eggs, so to find this much egg they have to have 5-6% chance, wow so much luck to share. Also no more double egg loot in lucky. I'm not complaining the about the number of eggs found if ever found, but the ratio to find. I can't believe BB while this many people complains from this same problem assuming this is working as intended form BB's perspective. Some naughty wabbits might have eaten the four-leaf clover and stole the power from the UNlucky explorers formerly known as lucky explorers.
