+1 i cant farm skull fossils now : (
but on a real note i heard that new mons were added including ferroseed, cottonee and many more id guess. imo this completely absurd because:
1. One of the biggest reasons ppl supported this change was on the hope that those rare t8 mons would be removed but instead more were added?
2. It completely destroys the story purpose of this quest. Its the Sinnoh newspaper know for having only mons native to sinnoh. adding mons like ferro and cottonee (unova mons) makes legit no sense based on the story as it breaks away from the original games. adding these random t8 mons just seems like a way to nerf solaceon even further in a way no one ever asked for and id guess no one will support
3. Ferroseed needs MS (other than event map) and there may be other mons like this as well. This is what makes this change really really dumb coz it suggests u need MS to do this quest which is just crazy unfair for the large part of the player base as its expensive, and the fact that u need to have ms just to do this quest makes the rewards much much less worthwhile.
Also, Yes, there are ppl with 8 accs who "abuse (xd)" this quest but the amount of ppl who do id have to guess is pretty miniscule considering the amount of effort that comes with having to finish story in 4 regions for 7 accounts (excluding main acc). For those who argue u can just buy story service, there is also effort with that. The min ive seen story service for 4 regions is around 1 mil and that x7 = 7 mil. 7 mil isnt ez just money to just stumble upon and thats considering u get the cheapest story service + finding someone who is willing to do it for that cheap x7 times. After all this they only have a 1/3 chance (i think it was 1/3 not 100% sure ) of getting rr per account so pretty much guranteed 1 or 2 rr with 8 acc id say (idk the actual math). Considering i left out things like catching all the mons needed on all 8 accs, having to remember to login on all accs everyday to keep ur streak (hardest part for me b4 the change xd) the rrs are a pretty reasonable reward id say and this gave a small steady flow to the rr supply. THIS PART IS JUST MY HUMBLE OPINION PLS DONT KILL ME. **sidenote i almost dont want to believe the 1/3 chance for rr (right?) based on previous experiences of me and my guildmates but i guess we just gotta trust staff on that which is pretty hard to do considering they just dont give any info on stuff like chances etc.
Forgetting everything i said above, id also like to add that timing of this change was just extremely poor. The suddeness of this change was just so off as if it was something they thought of that morning or sumthing. Ive seen their priority list, and of all things this was the most important? really? I understand making those changes like fixing digs/exca, server porblems, things that were promised years ago like auction house, dc problems, an island that was supposed to be released 6 months ago, etc. I could go on forever but i get that these things take a long time to implement and i respect the grind of staff to make these things possible, but was solaceon really on the top of the list? yeah this change is somewhat reasonable in some aspects but was it so game breaking that it had to be done amidst all the other stuff? correct me if im wrong but solaceon has been going on for so long, there has been so little people complaining about the abusing of this quest if any (i havent seen anyone complain b4 the change), what was the reason for this time and no heads up?
I dont mind some aspects of this like the fact u gotta fresh catch all the mons now. It balances it i guess but the additional changes really seemed more of a huge nerf than a balance.
ty for reading this whole thing if u did. bye : )
