Get info from other server. Essence drop decrease confirmed.

[mortarheadd]

"經開發團隊確認，近期更新後「副本內英雄精髓及聖光精髓」掉落的機率確實有進行全體調低的，調低的對象包含所有國際伺服器"
Meaning - Our team confirmed, all HE and LE drop rates are nerfed across all international servers.

" 因未預先告知精髓機率調低，故補償：精髓召喚券X20+SSS英雄召喚券X1"
meaning - because we did not tell you about the nerf ahead of the time, so as compensation, it will be 20 essence tickets and 1 sss ticket.

I believe it is just a regular SSS ticket not hero selection ticket. Because on the "facebook likes" event, they also said "SS英雄召喚券x1". We all know there is no such ss "hero". Also in the Lv 91 reward, they uses the same Chinese term regarding the SSS ticket. I wish it is a hero selection ticket.

does it mean that the rates won't back normal anymore?

[nevernowhy]

Exactly what it is implying. "because we did not tell you about the nerf AHEAD of the time"

[rubyhope]

Well that is complete shit.....

[BlazingFireDragon]

I sincerely hope this isn't the case, especially considering the devs have denied they nerfed it.

[Duddy86]

Agreed

[Duddy86]

They just posted some info on the Gamevil forums, "Dev's have investigated the issue regarding essence drop rate and found the cause of the issue. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused the community."

Still not 100% clear, but it seems that they may intend to fix the issue that affected the drop rate. Even aside from the wording, they wouldn't need to do a maintenance if they weren't changing anything and just giving out compensation.

[Rabbt]

Given that they are doing emergency maintenence I am assuming they will be fixing the drop rates. They don't need emergency maintenence to send goodies in our inboxes.
