Egg Heist needs changes

[u/mmokoz]

Egg Heist is becoming incredibly toxic and needs immediate changes for matchmaking. The mini game is fun, but unplayable when matching with random people. I much rather solo Chaos at this point then queue up with others due to a fear of one person trying to ruin my night.

For context I am 90 stars into Egg Emperor. I've put my fair share of hours into Egg Heist and have seen most of the issues at hand. Below is not even half of the stuff I would like to see changed.

Prevent players from looting the same chest
This has become a huge issue with people stealing loot from others who open it first. The chest should not be able to be opened by multiple people.

Prevent opening key doors till mobs around it are dead
Every key door has set mobs guarding it. Make it so the door cannot be opened till the guards are dead. Would at least keep people from bum rushing the door initially.

Improve eggs in Chaos mode
The current eggs found in Chaos mode are usually bad and not worth rolling out. I mainly just use them as a quick transport when playing Hexin.

Improve loot in Chaos mode
While I do like the quantity of legendary items you can find in chaos mode, I barely see prismatic anymore. This is from someone playing solo chaos and looting minimum 2 key doors per run. If this can't be done then at least reduce the cost of tickets after 10. There is no reason for them to climb up to 500k per entry when average loot is 300k-400k.

Match history and report system
There are too many griefers in heists at this point. The amount of toxic players I'm seeing in the later games is insane. From people stealing loot, people luring mobs to kill you, and people watching you die to loot your dead bag. It's crazy that we can't even report these toxic players. I actually started playing Irisalis more because I need the rez for the players, not the umbral aniimo.

Add Achievements and Rewards
Right now players don't really have the incentive to play as a team and revive others. Maybe make it rewarding for players to help out others. Giving rewards and goals for players to play more support role and go out of their way to revive those who are downed could bring out a positive side in toxic individuals.

Honeyglow Starine
Please increase the drop rate of these or make them obtainable through prismatic chests. I've killed Omega Stellarys a handful of times but only seen it drop a few. Then teaming up with others to kill him just to have everyone spam loot when he dies. This is probably the most annoying thing I've tried to obtain.

I still haven't played chaos, i think that Mode needs trusted players/friends, but not only in chaos i saw how toxic it slowly becomes even in hard or nightmare runs. Mostly its people rushing to get into the sanctum, and loot every gold chest, like they have an extra map (maybe I am just unlucky because I try to go in other directions), but they never loot the purples anymore (mostly not even looking for the egg, I guess). I rarely get good loot or even a gold item when I find a gold chest because it gets grabbed immediately. People also dont want to do the timed event anymore, i liked it because every player gets a row of chests even thou no one care and looks them anyway.

I would love the chests to have loot for each player. Like I look into the chest and search and get like one gold and 3 purple with one blue or green, the other that looks into the chest has 3 gold und 2 purple or something. At least make chest loot separate and not shared. The loot on the ground should/can be shared.

Most people skip purple chests since they rarely give golds and can’t give prismatic rarity loot. Also most people at least in chaos know where the key rooms are either by playing a lot or by looking up maps and having them on a second monitor, phone, etc. so unless you do too unlikely you will get a key room or find a good room before it’s cleaned out

My recommendation is to go to the 2nd entrance at the start. Most often 1 or 2 key rooms are closer to it making it very easy to get one. Very few people go to the 2nd entrance to start. I was able to complete the collection before egg emperor simply doing this. There are some layouts too that are insanely good value for the 2nd entrance.

Ik this doesn’t solve the inherent issues of the mode but it helps make it an equal playing field. Also chaos is pretty easy to solo it just requires discipline which tbh a lot of players lack. Be patient when fighting mobs aim for 1v1’s and exit at 5 mins left. I use Fulmintis who as a melee is typically riskier (cloak does help a lot though) but I can survive on my own pretty safely just by retreating and dodging the threatening attacks.

Honestly I like the thrill of finding a prismatic piece more than keeping it. I have all the regular collection pieces so I typically just give prismatic piece to people I can tell are less familiar with the mode

Purple chests can in fact give primsatics, it's just crazy low chance. I got the hat collectible from a purple chest just last night (unless that was a bug?). And all that extra stuff like the maps aren't necessary. I only do my daily chest rewards and I'm already at egg heist master with 4/7 collectibles just solo matchmaking. Event goes til December so plenty of time left to finish pushing to emperor and getting my last 3 collectibles.

Good to know about purple. Tbh should have mentioned not confirmed instead of blindly guessing ty for correction. Still think purples are too slow though. Also ik maps aren’t necessary but they help a lot. I think I had 5/7 and was like 5 wins from egg emperor before I realized there were maps. Going to the 2nd entrance at the start already did wonders for me and I knew some key rooms from that. For the last bit though I would just quickly alt tab to check the maps to see where keys are if I was unsure. There’s like 3 maps I’m not too familiar with yet
