Since days I don't get any more spheres that give me 30 favors

AnduinTryggva · May 18

I have about 6800 favors collected for my fraction but I can't remember when the last time I saw a sphere that grants me 30 favors for my fraction on the nightmarket.

It is really weird.

(On a general note: I think it is not fair if only a limited number of players having taken part in the fight can pick up that sphere. Every player that has contributed a certain minimum amount of dammage should be eligible to pick up that sphere before it vanishes).

I think this could be improved upon in the future and Id be surprised if they dont. My suggestion is to use the favor potions. Especially right before the Skirmish Boss dies for more favor.

I don't even get the point of the spheres. Like genuinely I want to know why the player isn't just granted X amount of favor on mob kills automatically.

Favor should be rewarded/earned automatically. It is very easy to miss the glowing orb when there are still skills going off, I'm looking at you mystic/energy orb .
Not a player friendly design at all. @ZOS_Kevin

I haven't been able to figure out what triggers them. Sometimes I'll have them after every trash pack almost and then next time there'll be none and I won't see any more for days. It's weird

I didn't even know those could give 30. I've only ever gotten ones that give 5.

It seems to depend on the faction you've joined and their standings.

Mine are Goad and they give 15, but I hear the ones from Eyes only give 5. I assume Ruckus give more since they're in last place for this contest that means nothing.

I don't recall ever getting a favor sphere that gave more than 5, but I'm also in the Eyes faction and the amount of sphere favor depends on your faction. First-place faction gets the least (5 points, I think) and third-place faction gets the most (30 points).

lillybit · May 18

Yes they give 5, 15 or 30 for 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Made me wish I'd gone Ruckus!

Those things pop up when you’re still fighting one boss after a roaming boss is dead, or over in a corner where you might miss them if you went another way. I don’t get too upset since they’re only 5 points for me, but I don’t like the way they are handled. Why don’t I just get the points from killing the boss?

EDIT: just noticed a really bad typo there

Usually by the time I've noticed them they're disappearing.

This. I can't tell you how many times I've run up to an orb and it disappears before the "collect" animation can finish and I get zip.

I don't think the orb mechanic is compatible with the chaotic pace of Night Market and I hope the devs do a QoL pass on them.
