Feedback on the new HHM

General
After months of ranting and showing my displeasure towards papaya, I gotta admit that I was pleasantly surprised when I saw how they revamped the drops in HHM. You(papaya) still got plenty of issues to solve (the game is still heavily p2w) but it seems like you are starting to pick up and you're getting back on track. So cheers to that, I hope to see more updates and/or events like this one, and I wish you the best of luck in doing so!

    Hahaha! I knew this is just for show. They did revamped the drops but how are the drop rates and no exp seriously? They really like to fool players, they just pretend to give us something but the truth is most of the time you'll get out of that DG empty handed. Before they messed up with horror DG I usually get 2 illipia parts in just 3 runs now 0 in 6 runs. I'm a hardcore grinder but if something like this pisses me off then it must mean that it's bad. They are just fooling around with us and what they are always pushing for is their dshop.

    @NZX005 indeed, there is still no exp, so they should fix that one out, however that's really not what that dungeon is used for (leveling), so imo its not such a big deal if mobs don't yet give exp (or if they ever will). You got crespo/ib2/164/185 dungeons if you want to level so don't make a huge issue out of the fact that mobs don't  give any exp, hence no rune triggers. 

    Also, no offense, but don't try to make it sound like you (or anyone here for that fact) got 2 ilipia parts in 3 runs, on average, because it isn't true (yes you might have gotten lucky once or twice to get 2 ilipia in 3 runs, I got a sealed spell dragon, a luna box and polar bear costume in a single run once, but that doesn't mean that's the average drop rate). Also, the fact that you got 0 ilipias in 6 runs yesterday doesn't mean everyone got the same, you were just unlucky, that's all, I did 10 full solo runs yesterday and I got 1 frigid horn, 3 ice dusts (so 2 ilipia parts), and plenty of other stuff (1 seedbox per run, a megaphone, a hm ticket, etc), which all together isn't that bad, actually is bit better than what it was before (just 1 or 2 ilipia or luna box per 10 runs on average, and I did plenty of runs before they removed it).

     Anyway, the biggest improvement has nothing to do with ilipia barts/luna wep boxes etc (those are just bonuses), but with the fact that its way easier to get psd now. You have a chance to get spell dragon (even if the drop rate is probably similar to the wr in hm) or psd (drop rate even smaller) directly from the bosses, which helps a lot, but even more than that, the fact that they added the 5 seed box is huge, because they will be on the market now, and there will be more of them than before, so even if you don't get spell dragon or psd from the bosses, and you only get the sealed version, its way easier now to get 5k seeds, thanks to that. Also the fact that they made the sealed earring tradable is also huge, this benefits everyone, the players who need money (from selling it), the players who need the earring but aren't lucky enough to get it in dungeon, or for high-end players who need it for their alts, but are too lazy to grind hhm (from buying it), and also papaya itself (more players will now get the sealed earring, which means more dshop seedboxes purchased). So it's a win-win for everybody.

    Last, but not least, the vital gems are also pretty dope (50 vit per gem is huge), adding those now, in addition to helpyron pants (which can add up to 300 vit) and boots (which a guildie of mine said it gives crit dmg instead of crit res, which means either a translation error, in which case boots can add up to 20% cd, either a codding error, which is most likely true, then boots don't count in this equation), makes it way easier to max on vit, without trieste armlet, meaning more options to build a char with full vit without having to sacrifice anything. (You can either go with full vit gems, full vit gloves, helpy pants and 2x wed armlets for the shield recovery and heal stats, or you can go with 10% gems, helpy gloves for mastery and crit res, and 2x trieste to max cd, or other various combinations which best suit your class)

    All in all, I'm not trying to defend papaya, or to pick a fight with you or any other player, the fact that you ran out of patience is normal by now, thanks to what papaya did so far, I'm just saying that this is the first update, since ever, where they tried their best to please everyone, both the players and the company. Just give it some time, keep on doing HHM's and after a while we could both agree that this was a good update.

    @Razeeer
    I pretty much agree with what you said. There is just 1 problem. Sealed spell dragon is not tradeable, it is still binded, even the pieces you drop after latest maintenance. ( I know it is supposed to be tradeable and it is most likely bug, but still :P )

    @hovnocucak I didn't knew about that, and as @NZX005 said there is also the problem with the mobs not giving exp, most likely a bug as well, probably will be fixed during the next update(s).
