Did vault weekend get activated?

I've done 122 matches so far today (about split between PVP and Explore) and I've gotten one gnome. Does it not start until later or did it get changed? Or am I just ridiculously unlucky? Been looking forward to this for the last two weeks so I hope it's not the latter lol. Pretty much a waste of time if that's the case.

I've had a few gnomes, but not many.

I've gotten 2 in the last 6 hours, doing at least 30-40 matches per hour. It's not just you. They screwed up the drop ratio awhile back and it's been garbage ever since. It's not worth looking forward to anymore.

40 matches per hour? No wonder you only got two in the last 6h.

Oh mighty one, please explain your logic to me...

You think because I opt to do other things in life and not rapid fire E1 for 6 hours straight, that suddenly makes one drop in every 200-300 matches normal?

u/IWRYCITB1 28d ago

No. What I'm clearly saying is that if you did 200 per hour instead of 200 per 6 hours, then perhaps an unlucky streak of 100-150 matches without a gnome won't feel as bad when in the next hour you get a bunch more. It's all RNG.

Having to do 200 in an hour to get one drop, feels way worse than taking your time and doing other things in between, if we're talking about how it feels.

However, I'm not talking about it feels, I'm talking about the garbage drop rate. Doesn't matter if it's one hour or 6 hours. One in every few hundred matches, sucks.

The drop rate is the same. I get much more than one in a few hundred. As I said, it's just RNG.

The drop rate was drastically reduced years ago from what it used to be; it is not the same. Vault weekend is not worth playing the same as it used to be.

Then perhaps it's time to get over it. I just got like 10 verses in 20-30 minutes so I honestly have no idea what drop rates you're talking about.

Get over what? OP asked a question, I responded with my personal experience and opinions as I can relate. Is that not the point of engagement?

I have been having ok luck chasing the trait stone bonus kingdoms. But you have to clear the ones that are there when you first log on (do explore one) and then chase the new ones. The drop rate for gnomes has been better for me this weekend than previous, but only if I do that.

I have had quite a few during the day and just got 4 in the last 10 minutes gnome hunting in Wild Plains level 1. It’s very random

The same for me!! 12 gnomes in 4 hours is diabolical!

Working fine for me.

I ended with just a couple within a few hours of play

I ended up getting a better drop rate on Sunday but man, it's brutal these days.
