Actually, no. I didn't know that. I didn't play the original and not many people I speak to are actually very helpful. That certainly clears that up. And while I don't expect you would be any more pleasant considering the tone of my post, you have to realize I didn't know this. I never said I don't like games of chance, I simply expressed that it appeared something was wrong. Given my previous misunderstanding, if I was getting no Perfects when I thought I had a 50% chance, then something would have to have been wrong. Since apparently I did in fact only have the 10% chance, the results makes more sense.
And I'm not sure if it's the descriptions or the effects that are incorrect with the Opal, but would be nice if that was corrected.
I've played like 10 times now. My maze is awesome. I've killed every boss through normal, and was about wave 44 of Extreme tonight before quitting. After not getting a perfect for about 10 straight rounds, I just stopped in frustration. It's dumb.
I realize this game is based on chance, but the percentages have to be off. To illustrate this, I would love to post a screen shot, but I don't know how. Anyways: I rely on my maze to do the work, so I always upgrade my gem chance as fast as possible, usually only doing 1 or 2 25 minerals upgrades on lower combos depending on what I get. This means I have gem chance level 8 before 30. The last game I played I quit because by round 44 I had upgraded lucky chance to leve 4, and didnt get a perfect gem for about 10 rounds, literally. With an additional at what should be a 50% chance to get perfects, I didn't receive one in approx 50 gems. On top of that, I also only got like 3 flawless gems in that time.
I'm posting this now, in frustration, because this is not the first game I've played like this. It seems that in many of the games I've played when I don't upgrade lucky chance (or maybe just 1 or 2 times) I get more Perfects than when I do actually upgrade it. I've asked others about this, and it seems to be a typical thing. It makes no sense.
Any chance your numbers are off? I ask this legitimately, because even the Opal's "attack speed increase" is off by 5% at each level: If it says is should be 15%, it's only 10%, 20 is 15, 25 is 20, so on and so forth.
Losing one player is not gonna bother you I'm sure; but I don't plan to play this again until I've seen that simple math changes (or description updates) are addressed. Way too frustrating to play something that requires so much time just to be dicked around by 'chance'
