Library upgrade malfunction

[neoncity]

Having researched Chapter 2 of the Pottery section in the Library (see image)



the promised chance increase of finding Cider and Metal should be 20%.

The original starting values were 30% cider for Fruit Trees and 40% metal for Gold Mines.
Upon completing the Chapter 2 research, the actual change was this:





Both have received a 10% upgrade, as opposed to the 20% as mentioned in the research description.

Additionally, on a minor note: the Army Size: 6 annotation seems to have been overlooked.


Thank you in advance.

The above issue repeats itself for the Hounds, Chapter 2 Library upgrade.

It states that it "increases chance of finding Fur and Leather by 20%".
However, the actual percentage only goes up by 10%.

Can Nexon please comment on this?
Thank you in advance.

I've noticed that the latest update has modified the Pottery, Chapter 2 research to now show a 10% increase.
Fair enough.

However, the Hounds, Chapter 2 one remains unchanged.
Is a similar change to be expected, or will we actually be getting 20% on this one?

Thank you.

Heyo -- to answer your question, the game team is performing a lot of game re-balancing, which would explain the change your noticed. It's hard to say exactly which stats will change again, if any at all. Any display issues that were confusing or seemed erroneous were addressed in this latest 1.2 update so let me know if anything isn't adding up.

To all CM's,
Although a shame that the original 20% bonus as a result of researching Pottery 2 in the Library was dialed down to 10%, I guess this was a balancing decision.
Not the end of the world.

However, Hounds 2 which claims to give a 20% increased chance of finding Fur/Leather, in reality still only adds 10%.
Since we're nearly 2 months further down the line, I'm hoping a status update on this can be given.
Really hoping they can at least leave this one on the original 20%.

Thank you in advance.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I've passed this on for investigation. It would be helpful for us to have more information on how you were able to calculate the 10%.

 

[Wvolf]

The game team has confirmed that the Library upgrade for Hounds Chapter 2 gives a 20% increased chance of finding fur/leather.

Hey Wvolf,

What I did is check the deer's starting % (chance at leather) prior to researching this add-on.
For me, it used to show 30%. Now, having completed Hounds C2, it's showing 40%.
Same for foxes [previously 20%, currently displaying 30%].

Thanks for following up btw.

 

[Wvolf]

Thanks for sharing that info with us - As it currently stands, it seems like Hounds C2 is doing what it should. The game team will be keeping an eye on this.

 

[neoncity]

Forgive me for being slightly confused, not trying to make anyone's life any more complicated, but - 20 to 30, or 30 to 40, isn't that an increase of just 10?
Am I missing something/misinterpreting the upgrade? Or does it not affect the % shown for the various animal types?

Thanks again!

 

[Wvolf]

The game team has confirmed that 20% is correct. This is not clearly shown for the different animal types.

Just had the same issue, and I really don't think that the animals are actually giving 20% chance, as I'm still getting hardly any fur and leather! The calculation is easy as deer and fox give 20 as standard, and after upgrade should give 40, however it says 30 under animal info, and like I say there's no noticeable difference in frequency of drops! This issue sucks as I spent a lot of food on that upgrade and was looking forward to getting extra items and it seems to have done very little. So are you saying Wvolf that the number under animal info is what is incorrect, and it is actually giving us the full extra 20% even though it only says extra 10?

In fact, I've been hunting deer all morning, probably around 9 or so.. And have yet to get any leather. Surely if the percentage is actually 40% a time, I should have got some by now!?
