I've been trying my damndest to get the hang of this game. Spent many hours playing against NPCs, trying to win. I've played two games with other players, and I've been told by a few of them 'you lose almost all games you play'.
This is beyond disheartening. I collect the music scrolls in game. And someone thought it would be a WONDERFUL idea to lock one of them behind this game of all things achievement wise.
You start at 1500 points, and you slowly gain them if you win, or you lose them pretty damn quickly when you have a loss. The one time I came in second place I gained 9 points. The first time I get 4th place, I lose 29 points. This is beyond depressing if this is just an inkling of what kind of BS I'm gonna have to see just to try to get one damned item.
I don't play on a heavily asian datacenter, so this game is probably gonna die off in a few weeks at best, and I won't be able to collect the orchestrion roll that was force behind a damned achievement for this game.
And this isn't the first time they'll have locked people out of achievement based rewards when something dies off.
Do people actually run Seal Rock anymore outside of the rare instances you're forced into it if you dare to do the roulette? You need 100 total wins just to get the glamour from that, but that's pretty damn difficult to get anymore now, isn't it. And I have a feeling it's going to be the same thing with Mahjong once 'enough' people get their achievements, leaving everyone who wishes to get an item shit out of luck because of it.
But seriously SE, thank you so damn much for this. Orchestrion rolls are something I've always enjoyed collecting and running dungeons/instances again over and over. Until now. Thank you for this BS.
If it were for winning X times, then I could actually deal with the heavy point loss. But for you to get knocked down hill that much faster than you can dare climb up, it's a kick right to the crotch.
Bad enough with the absolute shite drop rates of music from Halatali HM (40+ runs now), and whatever the dungeon name is for Siren (20+ times) as it was already.
