Shadow Nerfed Lock Drops Are Ruining Temple Building

guys, if you don't have much time like streamers to play the game, you can consider changing strategies in the temple.

don't do snake layout in the temple.

do tree branch and farm atziri.

you can farm temple but stop whining because you can t do the perfect whatever russian techniue garbage. I have a snake, if there is no spymaster well, put smithy or whatever can connect to a garnison until you get a spy and so on.... no block ? Well, put something at the end of your snake which will probably be destroyed instead of your snake head. And don t forget to put whatever you find in the middle for stats and for decoy.
Stop with those perfect snake non sense. The russian garbage needs to get several spy MEDALLION (more rare than block medallion) , garnison medalion, blocks.... well it s a non sense. Perfect on paper but impossible to make alive.
And sorry for my crap english

I think it's not so simple silent nerf. Its dirty mega nerf.
I have more than 40 runs. I had reroll medalions. I need Thraumaturge room to complete first snake.
Nothing.
6 room we can see at the start. 13 rooms total + 2-3 for the roads (so about 16).

For 40 runs its 180 rooms checked. Divide by 16 its 15 guaranteed thraumaturge rooms (if it's realy random rolls with same weights).
My friend only found one for 20 rolls today.

P.S.: Sacrifice chamber only one on the map... so 6 room x 40 runs = 180 \ 15 = 16 thraumaturge rooms. Not zero.

So, someone don't gets locks. Someone don't gets important rooms. Easy controll.
Saw a lot of post on redit and here. It's NOT unluck. Math don't lie.
But someone who talked about no changes mid league did.
GGG your answer pls.

Seems like this is a thread for people with bad RNG or not enough leveled spymasters. If it wasn't possible to sustain locks, playing more would just ruin your temple faster. So the whole casual vs streamer thing doesn't make sense.

Just go see Cutedog's stream. He's always oversustaining locks with multiple spare with 9 lvl3 spymasters, for multiple days played.

it is not just locks nerf ... they also reduced drop rate of omens of light and spawn of those mobs who drop it
they try to "fix" economic but cant.
OoL - 20 div
whittling - 20 div
fracturing orb - 20 div
they try make us think it is normal in current overinflated situation , but many people cant build profitable temple to be able buy overpriced recourses

league is absolutely ruined, and they prefer shady things instead of to be honest, apologize and fix in a right way without hurrying

did you ever think that maybe GGG doesnt want people locking their temples so easily anymore?

league is ruined how?

the economy is destroyed, but the league is not ruined.

nothing is stopping you from clearing all content even in a destroyed economy.

because even with a broken economy, most things are still very affordable ( aside for the top tier gear)

so please show video proof of what you are unable to do due to the ruined economy... ( something that has to do withi playing the game , not trying to play auction house simulator 2026. )

If your only issue is you cant flip tiems or make profit off selling stuff on market because of economy, well I don't care, because playing the market is not the purpose of the game. The league is not ruined because you cant scam newbs anymore.

and it shouldnt be easy .. .but FROM THE START

but the thing is that they didnt tell that they reduced locks drop, omens drop etc.. this is why people complaining
if you dont care- we dont care about you

what else to do in this game after 1 week of each league ?
pre-top gear is quiet easy to get after 1 week (ok at least 2 weeks) after league start

but nof there is nothing to do for most of players because they dont rush, dont build snake temple week ago, didnt get top gear yet... so they cant do that now because temple is too hard to build for those who just started to do it, and top gear is not affordable because of whittling , omen of light, fracturing orb cost 20divs each, so people cant farm currency, and they cant farm recourses because it was shady nerfed too

looks like you are just trolling here

i have the minmaxxed temple with all the tech and everything is tiered up, outer layer is purely spymaster garrison chain, i ran 120 crystals today and maybe 2-3 locks dropped from spymasters in total, my second chain is already regressing

doesnt seem feasible to call this rng when i was constantly drowning in locks before with worse setups
