    3 medals in 1000+ battles!! that is bad.. I get 2-3 medals in every set of 8-9 bally runs I send off to NPC5s. I have a CRAPLOAD of useless freedom, courage and wisdom medals accumulated that I couldn't go through if I wanted to!

    all in age2 btw.

    @redbarron: Yeah, online games tend to die out on ppl in due course of time. They just aren't made for -forever play. Design always has flaws. At the later end of things, they become repetitive, monotonic. Too many trolls that just don't like to experiment on a daily basis. bn there, done that, quit a position with a game cuz they just weren't ready to spend money to update the game. I like Age2 for that, its been given a longer lifetime than age1, well, at least, that is the intention I can see. Some things are annoying, but I see they usually get to them. And the kind of board violence you see is nothing uncharacteristic of a similar sample of ppl (esp on the internet) anywhere at all. I think, overall, they do a good job (evony does), a bit of Q/A and customer liasion seems to be lacking once in a while, esp b'coz ppl go talk to them expecting to be stonewalled, so they bomb with letters worded like that from the beginning I can imagine (not everybody, but some I do suspect). This hurts the rest that are just wanting genuine issues solved. Nothing new there either!

    Medal drop rates are fine. It's the items that doesn't drop at all (i mean yeah i have a chance to win 1 billion at a lottery too... still the probability weighted sum is crap). If anything about medals, justice are a bit too hard to get. Freedom, wisdom, courage etc etc are very easy. Rose and cross aren't that hard either if you are a dedicated player. Honor are a bit more difficult but still quite ok. But the item drop rates are a joke at the moment. Evony doesn't have to be so extreme by nerfing it with dividing the probability with 10 or probably much much more.

I like the game but I am not willing to spend more unless you give us normal items back, like normal teleporters, speakers, holy waters, mich scripts, amulets etc. These should drop on any barbarian town. You want this to be a non pvp type play style? You cant take over you cant do anything but colonize...
    I am not asking for a 10% drop rate on any of these items. Im only asking for maybe 1%-5% tops. Speakers, holy waters less valuable items for the game should have a higher drop rate.. mich scripts maybe .05-1.5 % drop rate. Normal porters maybe 1-2%. Armor scripts should be somewhat low as well 1-3%. Gem drop rates are fine medals are fine. As of now everyone on the servers ALL have the same complaint LISTEN to them they are the customers and the customers are always right.

    after 2 wks of endless npc plunders ' i havent had not a single drop of an item ' gems/medals yes have droped fine ' i raid over 50 npc's a day and have done just to prove that the posts in here are correct and it just doesnt drop items...over 3 wks ago i was getting items at least 2-3 times from my npc raids ? are you telling me the drop rates are as they were before ... i think not sorry its a fact .... tried and tested for 2 wks ?


    I think that choosing between the aforementioned material (racism, profanity, nazism) and spongebob squarepants is a highly exaggerated extreme.

But the items are still out there and drop at the correct rates.

    As Domi indicated in his post, it is obviously not intended for players to win literally hundreds of valuable items in a short period of time.
    Dawnseeker, I have listed the items I believe are supposed to drop from either npc's, valleys or other players. If I am incorrect please let me know.

    Medals
    Cross, Rose, Lion, Honor, Nation, Justice, Freedom, Wisdom and Courage

    Items
    Truce, Mike's Script, Teleporter, Hero Hunting, Holy Water, Speakers, Lost Armor Scripts, Delicate Gems, Flawless Gems and Amulets

    Materials
    Iron Ore, Wood, Crude Gemstone, Thoroughbred and Fabric

    Below is a list of what I acquired in the last 5 days of playing. I attacked npc's, valleys and other players.

    5 Day Period ? 339 Attacks
    32 - Courage Medals
    12 - Honor Medals
    15 - Wisdom Medals
    25 - Lion Medals
    8 - Freedom Medal
    22 - Flawless Gem
    106 - Delicate Gems
    1 Mike?s Script

    I play about 4 hours or so every day. I would consider myself to be an average player as far as time logged playing goes. As you can see from my reports, the only thing that dropped for me in the last 5 days outside of a gem or a medal was one Mike's Script. Variance or no variance, I would have expected that every player would have acquired at least one of every material and most of the items in the amount of time I played and the number of attacks sent. I would hope this would be more in line with what the game designers want right?

    As you look at my reports, what are you thinking? Looks good you have no problem with them? Or there are way too many medals and gems being dropped and not enough materials and items?

    Right now I am estimating that if I continue to play at my current rate, it will take me at least a year to level all of my hero gear from level 2 to 3. Since I would prefer to not spend money on hero gear and use it on other areas of the game, is this a time frame I should expect it to take me?

    I am hoping your answer to the last question is No.

    Medal and gem drop rates on my Age II server make me VERY happy. Pre-"fix" drop rates for treasure on my server also made me very happy (I will concede that they're higher than Evony may like, but high drop rates weren't keeping me personally from spending money).

    But now, post-"fix", If I wasn't extremely active, and hitting hundreds of targets a day, I would have no idea that other forms of treasure dropping were a possibility.

    On my last server (whose drop rate is similar to my current server), in two months of active war, I got exactly two treasure drops (one mich script, one holy water). So while I'm happy that the drop rates are somewhat higher on my Age II server, even post-"fix", they may not be high enough to keep less active players grinding (since they don't even know return is possible). Who knows.

    lol, on server 93, it took me 6 months before I got a single extra Michaelangelo Script for my rally spot!
    medals themselves were a pain in the behind!

    i have to agree with everyone else that since the fix the drop rates have fell to almost nothing. i play on na7 and realize that the rates at which items droped before were way to high. i have 51 lost armor scripts and 25 mich scrips left after having used close to 30 of them already. now when i attack npcs all i get are gems and medals as well. i did manage to get 1 holy water the other day but that is out of 500+ attacks since the fix. i attack 18 lvl 5 npcs twice a day along with other random valleys and the lvl 10 im hitting right now for my justice and honor medals. the medal drop rates are fine even the rose medal drop rates which most people seem to complain about. i started an account on na16 and got all the rose medals i needed before i was even out of bp. please fix the rates at which the items drop. you cant go from one extreme to the other and not have people complaining.

    Didn't really start calculating the time I spend on Evony or related activities until I saw your reply. I really should spend more time on something that's meaningful in my life.

    lol, practicalfool, thanks for your opinion/warning/reminder

    Well its true.. going from one extreme to the next is not right. It needs to be put someplace that both sides can agree on. Most items that are the movers are prolly the advanced porters and hero items such as materials for upgrades. And location's of the heros. Normal teleports, holy waters, speakers, and the other items that no longer drop that used to make the game fun. They need to be put back into circulation either by drops or gifting. Speakers and holy waters are already, I think normal teleports should be giftable.
