Diamond Quest Sucks

I wish I could use peanuts to purchase a percentage boost for rewards. It would be cool if 1000 peanuts increased the reward chance by 1% or something.
-
@Virusrev_MLBTS That could be a middle ground since peanuts do transfer if you don’t get the cards.

SD Studios has no respect for its players time. I’ve done the most recent Diamond Quest 5 times, and have had over 50% chance to get the epic cards every time, with one time being at 63% and another at 70%. I’ve gotten the Ottavino card once, and haven’t gotten the Jung card at all. I hate wasting my time and that’s what this mode is. If I complete the map and don’t get the cards, my percentage should automatically be increased for my next run. Stop making people grind for so long you get one card because the game decides it just doesn’t want to give the card out. Please SD Studios…please start respecting your players time. We’re the ones who pay you f***ing salary.
Soooo I don't think you understand how odds and statistics work. Just because you have a 70% chance doesn't mean it's guaranteed. Also feel like you are probably leaving out alot of information because I played this exact quest twice today. And got each 1 at a time on each play through on Allstar (58% rewards chance) after completing every challange and beating the sweaper. So either A) you are super unlucky or B) you are losing your stadium challenge your rewards. Also the majority or the player base loves DQ. It has been an awesome way to make stubs, packs, and rewards to sell when you do get them.

@yankblan_PSN no, conquest is different. There are no perks or penalties in conquest, and the rewards in conquest are guaranteed upon winning. I like the idea of Diamond Quest; I just don't like that it heavily relies on moments and showdown.

One time I played a whole little league game and didn't get ice cream after.
Uh, everyone knows you get a snowcone, not icecream. Duh.

- I do understand how statistics work. I’m saying that basing the rewards on percentages is dumb. This is not a casino. If I complete something 5 times I should have received the reward at some point.
- I’m not leaving anything out. My luck has just been horrible. While I haven’t been able to complete every spot along the way, my odds by the time I’ve reached the stadium challenges (playing them on all-star) have been between 52% and 70%. And I’m not talking about the “rare”BIAH packs. I’m talking about the epic rewards. The first playthrough I got the Otavino card, but not Jung. My subsequent 4 plays I got NEITHER epic card.
I’m sorry. You can say that the majority of the community loves this mode, but I don’t think that’s true. I think the majority of good players do because they can play the higher difficulty levels to further increase their odds. I have never said to remove this mode or even to change anything on the first playthrough on a map. But if someone completes the map and beats the stadium challenges but does not get the card, their odds should go up a bit on their next run. You may like grinding and grinding, but not everyone does. That can make a small tweak and make it more enjoyable for more people without taking any of the challenge away for the hardcore players on their first playthrough.
-
@chrisham8380_PSN . OK so what I'm understanding is your mad because you can't get the rewards from DQ, so why don't you just buy the cards instead? Complaining on here isn't going to help you get the rewards
-
@sbchamps17_NSW Because I shouldn’t have to. Do what you’re saying is “You’ve had bad luck, so buy it from someone who’s had good luck.” That’s such a cop-out. I’m making my opinion heard (because that’s what a forum is for) and I’ve given a solution. What’s wrong with my solution? Why are so many people on here opposed to it?
-
Because you can't just come on here and complain about it and think that everyone on here will give you what you want

This is great, and make the stock unlimited so we can grind peanuts to get our percent up.
-
@sbchamps17_NSW but coming on here and voicing one's opinion can help sds to know what fans of the game like and dislike about a new mode that was introduced this year. It allows them to tweak things to appease the majority of players, and let's face it, most of the player base are casual players that are playing on allstar or below. Now is more important than ever for fans to voice our opinion whether you agree with them or not.
-
@sbchamps17_NSW This…is…a…forum. It exists for us to voice our opinions. Just because we don’t share an opinion doesn’t mean either of our opinions isn’t valid. If SD Studios is actually a good studio that cares about what their fans think, they will at least read and consider my concerns. And I’m not the only one who feels this way. Do I “expect” them to do what I’m asking? No. Will they ever make a change if they don’t know some people way want one? No. So let me voice my opinion and stop trying to de-value my experience.

@chrisham8380_PSN Just get lucky

@TripleH-4481_PSN said in Diamond Quest Sucks:
That’s the real key. By making the odds bad enough people will just break down and buy the cards. Ultimately they would rather make $500 from 10 people than $100 from 50.
The amount is the same but hooking the whales, streamers, and addicts is far more profitable for them than casual gamers actually enjoying the product.
Money above all else and they are making that painfully clear. That’s the sad part, knowing the line in the sand has been drawn.
From who are they getting $500?
Not me.
I have every non LS card I want. Am 5-6 LS cards away from Beltran. I have 300K in stubs. And I haven't spent a dime on stubs.
-
@Begel_MLBTS Oh my God….its so easy. I never thought of that…just get lucky. Thank you so much for your immense wisdom and your fantastic solution…you muppet.

@Pergo_MLBTS The problem is that you can go through and succeed at all of the spots, and if you aren’t good enough to play on the top difficulty modes, then it can all be a waste of time because you didn’t get the rewards. I’m all for letting the better players get items faster, but for mere mortals like me, if I fail to get the item because of random percentages, the next time I try it my percentages should increase. It should not take me more than two successful runs to get the cards.
I don't really see it as a problem. The percentages are there up front so you know what you are getting in to. I don't play the stadium challenges on the highest difficulties either. Highest I will go is All-Star because I don't want to risk losing everything. Even on Veteran and All-Star I get the rewards most of the time. It's worth the risk to make like 15k-20k stubs for about an hour of playing.
But that's why I play on rookie. You only get a 2% bump to veteran and another 2% bump to All Star and it is simply not worth the risk to me.
I mean if I see 64% on AS and 60% on Rookie, I'm going Rookie all day.

@chrisham8380_PSN so you come on here cry whine and complain constantly. Then argue with people who disagree with you and if they still disagree with you it’s name calling. Maybe the internet and this game isn’t for you.

Well unfortunately I do have a hard time believing you have a 70% chance on allstar because even when I pass every challange and beat the sweeper my odds have only been 58% on allstar. And again it doesn't matter it's not a casino. 58% is 58% regardless, it's the same issue people have with packs. They see 1:50 odds to pull a diamond and automatically assume that since they have 50 packs they should pull a diamond. Problem is that those odds are for each pack separately, so every single pack is 1:50 just like beating the stadium is 58%. I'm sorry you've have bad luck, but that's just odds. Next DQ is way better then the other off line modes for farming stubs and packs. Mini seasons takes a whole day and while I get more packs through most conquest maps it's a 1 and done. Most average players can complete a DQ map in 1-1.5 hours. So it is feasible that someone can play 4 DQ maps before someone completes 1 mini season.

Can we stop calling it DQ because I always think we're talking about Dairy Queen and then I get sad?
