So can you fix temple lock drop rate, or are you intentionally killing the league

Ive been working on the first spymaster corner using russian tech, with only 5 spymasters. Today I have done way over 10 runs and I have gotten a total of 1 lock, I was losing my mind going back and forth on that corner making new rooms and loosing what ive made. It feels so devastating reading that they have changed so that more medallions can drop from spymasters now, if I understand it correctly.
I dont see the reason why GGG has to change stuff mid league. As a dad gamer first now I have had the opportunity to delve a little bit into the temple and now it almost feels like a big waste of time.

update, I actually got my second lock now and I forgot to add that all my spymasters are level 3.

I am quite new, only 7 rooms in chain. Rest are randomly elsewhere. For a week now can not build longer, anytime I got a new room it will get demolished next time.
Then waiting 4-5 more cycle to get another Armory and rinse and repeat without enough Locks to keep it there.


You really need to watch somebody work on one to figure it out. I watched snoobae85. I did the uneithical layout. For a starter, the ethical version is way easier. But up til 11 rooms, 1 room is removed, then at 22 2 rooms, etc. You have to put feeder rooms in the middle to really get started. Hopefully the destabilization will take those before your chain. Build a path straight up, and put rooms hanging off of it for the temple to take. Until you have like 5 or 6 spymasters, locks are hard to sustain.

There is 2 months left to the season. I dont think temple will be around in next season, at least not in present form. So only start if you have alot of time to play, because it takes along time.


Also you need to kill the aritect multiple times to get 6 medallion spaces, and a possible 60 crystal quantity. Yes, its very tedious.



You only need to kill him once. The extra medallion space and crystal slots can randomly drop from many rooms while you're building your snake. That's what I did.
Yes Im super sad about this I cant even sustain 2 locks for my EZ temple. Way too much variety of medaillons drop from spymaster. I dont know why they decided to kill the temple building 1 month into the league its very frustating to watch GGG do that kind of stuff.
Sounds good. It seemed easier to get them from the Arcitect, but whatever works. I found I had to kill him alot to get ideal placement for him though, so it worked out.

0.4.0d Hotfix 3

Updated the descriptions for Temple Room Cards to more accurately describe what the Room rewards as well as which Medallions can be found in a given Room.

They actually nerfed drops by adding other possible medallions in the spymaster loot pool by saying "as well as which Medallions can be found in a given Room".

by sayin it like that it kinda went under radar. Theres your explanation for getting less locks, pure nerf gg.

It use to say "high drop rate of quixapotl" or whatever medallion that locked it. It doesn't say that anymore. There is the shadow nerf that went unoticed by the way they sneakily took that phrase out.
if they fu. me i fk them i go helldivers 2 and w8 0.5 but for sure im not going to buy anymore mtx and other pack for$$$ stuff cause i feel fkd cause i join game 2 weeks after league started soo i did get cancer temple nerf from gg which wont let me compete with others. Thats all end of story now its 6 hours since i start "building" my temple and i get not even one room forward

You already gave them your money and say you'll be back for 0.5. That's exactly what they want. GGG doesn't care about long-term player retention, just league populations during their first 2 week launch. They openly admit this in interviews. If you actually want GGG to adopt a different MO, stop showing up for league launches. Play Standard or something else.
ggg listens only to traders, they nerf thing only when MUH economy suffers , fun doesent matter to them
