epic token farming = rediculous

[theforgottenqueen]

I think the new drop rate of the epic tokens is rediculous! I have ran 7 epic quests and have .9 epic token fragments to show for it.

The no timer system was needed to allow players to reach their epic destinies, but changing the token drop rate was a whim decision. If you remember you could farm 20 tokens in a day before the update by running the epic challenges.

With the new drop rate I will have every seal and shard possible.. with no epic scrolls mind you.. and maybe 10 tokens after ~40 runs

My suggestion is to put at least half a token in each epic chest (that had a token before)

actually my real suggestion is to return things back to the way there were 1 token per epic quest because what are the tokens used for besides hearts of wood and empty epic slots?

number of tokens needed to completionist
13 classes x 20 .. 260
number of tokens to slot red/yellow or blue on 3 or 4 epic items.. 30 x4 120

under the old system you would still have to run 390 epic quests to fill all those goals...

It's a marketing plot!

Since they are phasing out epic slots (why offer customizable gear when you can offer random gear ) they want to decrease drop rate to avoid people having too many token to spend on hearts, hence people will keep buying hearts from store.

I have not had any problems with tokens, but running on epic hard seems to have a lower drop rate for seals and shards. I ransacked small problem on epic hard with 2 toons for 1 seal. I have one shard from e-deeps on hard- the two runs on norm yielded no shards. Otherwise, I have been shut out.

E deeps does not guarantee a shard drop anymore?

All the epic hard runs I've done have dropped a shard for every party member, I could understand why epic normal and casual would have reduced rates.



On topic, I've actually been getting more tokens a day than I used to before the update (although I never farmed the boring challenges for tokens). Now, I can just grab any character and any party make-up and quickly complete epics.

More epics run per day = more epic tokens, even if you get fewer fragments from quests than before. Some quests even give more than before the update, Evon3 for instance gives about 1.5 tokens, at least on epic hard.

You could farm EH chains, full token + 30-40 fragments. (had fun running this without a trapper my 2 fav traps in the game in here on epic )

Between fragments dropping from most FR mobs and challenges (destiny grind) I certainly wont be having token issues

Ran it once since the update, no shard for me (EH)

OP, You might want to do some research before you make your first couple forum posts ranting about something you have bad info on.

it's not that bad, with the expension of different epic diff it's not a bad scaling. annoying as it makes the collection longer yes, but then again it leaves more time for me to get those 20 raid runs for items

Since pretty much all of my epic items are junk now compared to even the RANDOM gear out of the new stuff, I don't really care about epic tokens any more. Probably never going to slot another epic, and I'm nearing the end of my TR grind so I don't care much about hearts of wood, either.

Not saying it's nice, but I figure it's quite possible that in an update or two when they finish their "epic pass", epic slots may disappear altogether.

Heck, why not make a True Heart of Wood the reward for 5000 favor in the process?
