Playing during normal rates

Author Content Date
I found myself playing a lot during the recent double rate events and really started enjoying and getting back into soma.

But as soon as they end I log on and have no enthusiasm knowing that the time/reward ratio has just halved and I need to put double the time in to feel any reward like I felt during the events

Does anyone else feel the same?

Could we see these x2 drops permanently?
Could we see regular weekly x2 events? (Weekends for example)
Could we see more mobs to farm for endgame items? ( currently 1 spawn of 6 elder magmas)

I currently log on to then log back of 5 minutes later

Anybody have any thoughts?

I just lvl on rested when the event ends, once rested done I go to mags n just farm drops or pk. lvl 15-120 during all those events so not complaining^^

Yes. The events ending are a real downer tbh. I am in the exact same boat as you.

I kind of feel like permanent x2 leveling rates would not be the way to go but a good buff to rested might make it a little bit more rewarding.

Freemode rested and faster rested.

X2 permanent is too fast, but current rates are definitely too slow IMO. X1.5 would be the ideal change I believe.

Maybe with drops instead of a rate increase, we could see CTF drop’s boost boosted and maybe even add +20% drop rate increase alongside the 10% xp rate increase for owning Conti.

It's the rested thing imo deters people from playing, I'd personally go for like 1.5 rates but completely remove rested from the game
So many capped chars now so the casual vs nolifers isn't really relevant anymore

Not really fussed about the XP rates as am sure these would be more palatable if the drop rate was increased.

Do like the idea of increased rates at the weekend :D

If anything needs changing, increase how quickly you gain rested rather than increasing rates. Drop rates are fine the way they are.

The trouble with any x2 events that are held on Soma when it’s over players do feel abit disappointed the next few weeks afterwards and UC drops, the trouble with this last event was it went on a lot longer than normal events are held and so after the first few weeks it became the norm for most players and now it feels more like a bigger grind to some farming for items than before.

Each time rates are increased players feel there about right and over the last year they have been permanently increased 3-4 times, all we seem to do is ask for more, more, more......

If you feel hsoma drops are a grind give dsoma a try for a few weeks and then you will see a BIG difference regarding drop rates.

Enjoy the events for what they are and try not to sound too greedy within the following week of an event ending with posts asking for more.

this would be a good idea but it can't be too quick to gain.

People are always quick to point the finger and call people greedy, because they want a busy server and thriving economy, which increased rates clearly bring. I wouldn’t call that greedy myself but each to their own.

As has happened a few times already, if double rates are left on permanently, then after a short time these rates of leveling also appear slow, because they have become normal, and the user count drops again. The user count rise will be temporary but the game be changed permanently. Its like a strange trick of psychology.
At most i think it would be nice to have 'peak hour(s)', happy hour ? where rates are fast one or two hours a day or a fews hours on weekends.

ok another 4 hours not 1 drop but drops are fine? maybe they are on hsoma but dsoma is the pits, no wonder no devils farming, What's the point on all wanting x2 exp when you wont be able to gear it as there is no drops?
