Thread: Change the rewards on lab flips

    Change the rewards on lab flips

    SO i get an 805 on level 2 easy. Aldebran gives me a level 2 chip. Minos Taurus gives me a level 2 chip. REALLY????????????
    Why do the harder bosses which take more skill or more of something give such crappy rewards? I should be rewarded something for this better then a stupid chip that I wont use for like 2 years once i get enough to make a level 15 chip. Aldebran and Minos Taurus take some skill to reach and, depending on the level of lab your playing, to beat as well. They both should have better rewards then level 2 chips. Why should I or anyone invest the time to get powerful enough to beat these bosses and to get a high enough score when all they five you is level 2 chips. And yes You can get a spirit plan form aldebran or 10 gems, and yes you can get 100 gems from minos taurus. But you get level 2 chips more often then not from these bosses, I would prefer the lab tokens over chips. Ive fought aldbran close to 125 time or more now on various lab levels and gotten 2 spirit plans. Ive gotten 10 gems maybe 5 times. Ive gotten lab tokens maybe 10 times, the rest of those fights gave me chips. This is pathetic imo. Please remove level 2 and 3 ships form these bosses. Level 2 chips are the most useless reward in lab. Yet I seem to get them more then anything else I get in lab. I get level 2 chips as often as I get tokens and thats with getting 2 tokens just for beating the guardian and scoring over 500. Ive had streaks of 600+ scores where I only get the token form the guardian and the token for scoring 500+. The flips need to be re thought out and changed to be commensurate with the level of difficulty of not only the boss but the lab level as well. Level 2 chips on Minos Taurus on Level 2 easy is completely a slap in the face to any player. Getting it on level 1 easy for aldebran I can some what see. If level 2 chips are a flip item, you should only see these on the first 2 bosses of level 1 easy, and the first boss of level 1 normal. After that they should be replaced with a better item, like a level 3,4,5,6,7,or 8 chip depending on the boss and level. More spirit plans since the rate on server 1 seems to be 1 spirit plan per 75 or so 700+ scores. Maybe add in some blue and purple medals. Perhaps a leader card on minos taurus. Add in a 50 gem reward for aldebran in higher lab levels. This is the most frustrating part of the game for me besides waiting on the new heroes. Lab flips are a joke and need improved, not only the quality of items offered, but the drop rate of spirit plans. I mean if you never get a spirit plan to drop it will take over 6 years to earn enough tokens to get all of your spirit plans through tokens. And even if you get 5 spirit plans to drop it will take about 6 years to finish all your spirits. Please change the flip rewards immediately.

    I've been a lot more lucky in terms of spirit plans from 700+ scores, to date, 4 from about 30 odd attempts, most of my 2-3 runs a day result in the 600+ score region. I do share your frustration though as I have had a handful 800+ scores and on every one of them have been "rewarded" with either a lvl 1, 2 or 3 chip. Second the above post.

    I've gotten the same from Act 2 Easy.

    Aldebaran gives a level 2 chip (no ironheart plans in the options at all)

    Minos Taurus gives a... STILL a level 2 chip (and STILL NO ironheart plans in the options at all)

    Seriously.

    4 plans in 30 700+ scores???????????????????????? You have to be kidding me!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ive heard on servers other then 1 that they have a much higher drop rate for plans in the lab. People who have actually gotten LB plans dropped.

    This is ridiculous.

    I don't think there's any conspiracy vs server 1 Matt.

    It's just bad luck all throughout, or they lessened plan drops recently.

    I dont think its a conspiracy. I think the drop rates are significantly different for spirit plans on server 1 thats all.

    Would it be possible for you to talk about your lab strategy? Sounds like you've figured things out that I haven't about achieving high scores.

    It actually differs per difficulty level.

    For example, in Act 1 Easy, the strategy is to get as many destiny tiles as early as possible, to get as many +bonus moves.

    Once you get below 10 moves, start to map out your way towards the last tile in advance, avoiding any destinies along the way.

    I've cleared level 2 normal with a 700 score about 60 times give or take a few. I've gotten 208 tokens, 150 gems, 2 Lightbringer plans, and so many chips I want to cry. (about a 3% drop rate, compared to the assumed 5%)
    If my score is going to hit 800 I will just go to the end and tank the score.

    A plan drop rate about every 100 tokens worth of 700+ scores I can handle.
