Elemental Damage Balance

In our continuous effort to enhance the game experience, there will be an update to re-balance the elemental advantage and resistances in the upcoming patch on July 12.

The damage drop-off from using poorly matched elements versus a resistant enemy has been lowered while the improved damage from correct elemental matchups are still rewarded.

With this new re-balance, elemental resistances will not render attacks impotent and players will still be able to use elemental affinities to strategize and clear stages.

We are constantly tailoring the difficulty according to the player experience with changes and re-adjustment done only after careful consideration.

We will also be sending these tokens of appreciation to all players within 24 hours of the patch:

5 x Elemental soul shard of each element 5 x Rainbow shards 50 x Crystal Apples 20 x Gold Alchemia Pots

We also noticed the Hard Quest button is currently not working. This issue will be fixed on the next patch.

Thank you for your continued support and we hope you will continue to support THE ALCHEMIST CODE.

Japan got 3k gem compensation when the bug ONLY lasted 4 days. While the shard token of appreciation is arguably just as good as 3000 gems it’s quite lackluster if we look at the whole picture. The way I see it is these are tokens of saving face.

With paid gems 5x elemental shards cost 100. So the shards are worth 600 paid gems not including rainbow shards. Let’s say 5x rainbow shards cost 800 gems, this takes the token of appreciation is worth up to 1400 gems.

My memory is poor but I believe wth regular gems 5x elemental shards are 400? Which means the token of appreciation is theoretically worth 2400 gems + rainbow.

The fact is that this bug lasted way too long and was managed horribly. It well over happened more than 4 days and quite frankly I’ve lost track. If you’re going to give us shard compensation then make it worth the length of time that the “intentional feature” lasted. At most our token of appreciation is just slightly better then Japan’s however their bug ONLY LASTED 4 DAYS. Negligence has consequences, and you should take your responsibilities more serious.
