Thread: Medal rates on new servers up?

  1. #1

    Default Medal rates on new servers up?

    Just as I was getting ready to whine about the low drop rates of medals on new servers, I got a whole bunch of them in a row on server 32. Over the last few days, I had launched over 1000 attacks and gotten only 3 rose and a few cross, but just now, I got 2 lions in a row, followed by 3 or 4 cross within 10-20 attacks. Of interest, I did have ballista casualties on one and cavalry casualties on the other that I got the lions back to back (lv4 deserts) and thought that might have had something to do with it, but then I started getting them in bunches just spam raiding. Has anyone else noticed this?

    It's probably to give an advantage to newer players, or you are just really lucky.

    I don't think so. I continued and did several hundred attacks today, and am getting them roughly 10-15% of the time. That's more than statistically significant, given that prior to today, myself and everyone else (on new servers) have been getting them at a rate closer to 1% of the time on average over thousands of attacks. Maybe they are programmed to be abnormally low for some time upon launch to get the most sales out of rich "need it now" people, then increase it back to normal after some time has passed, so as not to drive everyone else away? That would make more sense than just outright permanently cutting the drop rates to the absurdly low rate that they were at before.
