Spymaster's lock drop nerfed. 100%

Yesterday I had 70+ rooms, one run I only got one lock medallion, that run I lost ~20 rooms. Tried to rebuild it but lost 10 rooms every run first, then lost 5 rooms every run, currently down to 20 rooms which is affecting medallion drops even more.

Just now I noticed they changed the Spymaster description:

From "High chance to get the Juatalotli's Medallion" (ONLY)

To this: "May drop Juatalotli's Medallion, Uromoti's Medallion, Xopec's Medallion, Azcapa's Medallion or Puhuarte's MedallionMay drop Juatalotli's Medallion, Uromoti's Medallion, Xopec's Medallion, Azcapa's Medallion or Puhuarte's Medallion".

They added more medallions to the pool. What a dick move.

Thats the end of the league for me



Xopec and Azcapas are the extra slots medallions which can't drop once you max your storage at 6/6 and 60/60.

Puhuarte's is the reroll medallions one which isn't so bad when building.

Uromoti's gives you a random room to hold which also isn't too bad for building.

Spymasters have been dropping these since mid December.

People probably haven't noticed the low lock drop rate because spymasters gives you stuff to build your temple up very quickly. You only notice it when you stop building and need only locks.

Big change is that spymaster "may" drop, that wasnt the case for level 3 spymasters. I dont see why you are trying to sugar coat something that have ruined the temple and lead to people quitting the league. If you read rest of the thread I wrote that I played for hours and had zero progress, does that sound like the typical mid december temple experience?

Patch notes says this:

"
Updated the descriptions for Temple Room Cards to more accurately describe what the Room rewards as well as which Medallions can be found in a given Room.


This was an update less than a week ago. People have been complaining about lock drop rates for over a month.

I think December 30th was the date they changed medallion drops in spymaster rooms.

0.4.0c Hotfix 13

Added a Diminishing Returns to the Modifier Values applied by Rooms. This doesn't kick in unless you have four or more of a given room type placed. This change will have a minor impact on average Temple setups, if at all, but have a relatively high impact on top-end Temples. These Temples were causing drastic server performance problems, and in often cases crashing. If you have enough rooms placed to engage the diminishing returns, it will apply to lower tier rooms first, making sure that your higher tier rooms benefit the Temple as much as they can.
Juatalotli's Medallion can now only be placed on Tier III Rooms. This will not be indicated on the Medallion's hover text for now and will be updated at a later time.
The rooms which bonuses are increased by Golem Works or Spymaster room types have been swapped. This is to promote different varieties of Temple setups. Having the Legion Barracks and Spymaster feed into themselves was resulting in very repetitive Temple layouts, this should improve variety and add additional importance to some other room types for building optimal Temples.
Fixed a bug introduced in a post-0.4.0 hotfix that caused Temples to spawn more Magic and Rare Monsters than intended, especially at lower levels. This change has only a minor impact to higher level Temples.


Due to hotfixing these issues, some of them will present incorrectly on your Client until next restarted. Other changes like the description on the Medallion, and descriptions on the Spymaster and Golem Works room types will be incorrect until our next patch. These will function correctly but will appear bugged in some cases, apologies for the inconvenience and confusion this may introduce for this time window.


They didn't specify exactly, but they changed alot of rewards for spymaster and golem works and tried to diversify temple builds with that. Additionally they said the descriptions will be wrong and fixed at a later patch, which just happened with the latest hotfix.

There's no proof for that unfortunately.

I think everyone can agree on doing changes like this mid league is so out of touch I cant even begin to describe it.
Like I said before, if they intend to do changes for 0.5, that I not necessarily agree with, so be it. But doing it mid league for people trying to build their temples is just demoralizing.
I dont say ive read all the comments on temple building, but I havnt seen a single one so far asking for more build variety NOW NOW NOW.

i agree with you that drastic changes should only be made after the league has ended.

it's not good to make drastic changes mid league.

I usually get one lock per temple run now. Problem is spymasters never drop anymore, so no option to boost up the rarity percentage of the alchemy labs.

snake is cancer and ggg is not doing enough.

ggg needs to step up and completely remove medallion locks from the game.


Yeah if the snake is still around next league I won't even reinstall. No interest in setting up the most overpowered mechanic for 2 weeks and running that nonstop.

Meanwhile a league ago people cried for drastic changes mid league because "this is EA and it should happen all the time!"
