I think it's because they are doing something else to Odyssey in the future
probably

something is in their Alpha version of the game and part of that incomplete code accidentally got ported over to the Prod version of the game
kind of doubt they have seperate versions any more, can only have so many of these mishaps before you call it into question

Feels like gear is loading faster after zone. Anyone want to check if they stopped spamming us with as many unnecessary 0x01E (inventory completion / count-to-80) packets?

pretty sure you mean 0x01D? in which case no, they still send over 400 of them per zone

:(

Feels like this is the kind of thing they'll never fix.

Did you try pairing it with Magic Critical Hit Damage + gear / atma?

Belligerent bang has something to do with the remaining chests, not the one you just opened.

If this is working as intended it's one of the most stupid things they have ever done with the game to date.

I agree completely, but it should be obvious that this is what they're aiming to do. I don't think the items will be saturated, but they'll certainly enter the same type of territory where it's as viable or more viable to aim to buy them from trove as it is to actually do the content.

How many people do you know who actually do a daily omen boss to try to get their desired body, even considering how many are able to solo or multibox it effortlessly? I'm picturing that kind of situation for shinryu drops, at least, and probably a decent dent in Lilith mercs since this is instant.

Eh, I already have that ***but Shinryu anyway. There's nothing wrong with making the items that everyone else has already had for years drop from another source. Playing catch-up is no fun for anyone, so two places to get something is a nice bonus

Unless people are going to pretend that they are angry someone might get helped by getting a piece of malignance a bit easier

I mean c'mon, who cares

I think it basically tells you that there is loud thud in remaining chests.

It's one thing to add stupid stuff as mentioned, it's another to destroy the foundation of why people play the game with high reward rates. There should not be this many high ticket items being showcased in 5 pages from non-content.

You are overreacting. It's maybe 5 pages, but there was some people with stored orbs doing like 12+ of them. What chance would be fair to get Sroda item for example? Remember you only have ~4.5 orbs per month max? So like 50+ per year? You should be able to get at least 2-3 good drops per year right? So what's so shocking in several people getting few good items if you have results from half year (or more) worth of chest on avg probably. SE can't balance this around people having 16 x 99 chars, because then regular person with 1 x 99 would not see any good item in years.

Not surprising, but the "Attack increases with number of alter egos in party" on Sroda Ring does not appear to be working.

1562 Attack with zero trusts. 1562 Attack with 5 trusts.

I went and tried it engaged. 1502 Attack engaged with 5 trusts. 1502 Attack engaged with 0 trusts.

Did you check with checkparam or equip screen? It's possible it's applied in a way it doesn't actually show on either, as well, which would make it pretty difficult to test. Imagining they coded it as an enhancement flag and add it directly to attack(or ratio) in real time, rather than having attack itself directly vary with trusts and have to update values every tick.

Seems like if you open 8 chests, one of the remaining turns rainbow(loud thud) or gold(thud), while the other remains brown(mimic). Not sure if 9th can be noise or not.

If you open 8 boxes and you only have 2 left, one changes to rainbow and that's a loud thud.

Someone said he got 2 left and none turned to rainbow, so I assume it was a bug or maybe it's just a big chance for rainbow to happen, but it's not 100%.

EDIT: Thorny got it right probably.
