This may be the wrong Thread, probably Topic for small doubts is the right one, but I want to quote what Mmarvin said in this thread.
First of all, my question:
I remember we used to have double catch rates events in diamond, and they were indeed
double rates and not +1 stage. For instance,
catch rate was boosted from from 1.5x to 3x. ( check this post from 2018
http://www.padventures.org/forum/showthread.php?40647-Mankey-Business&highlight=Mankey )
Nowadays some event descriptions are "higher rates", but other event descriptions (like Easter 2020) are "double rates", even though catch rates are not double rates but +1 stage, meaning 2.5x.
This question has been in my mind for a while now and I wanted to know:
Why did you decide to change that? is there a specific reason?
I want to take this opportunity to support Mmarvin's suggestion to increase catch rate to 2x, like he is suggesting here:
Is possible to increase catch rate of diamond from 1.5 to 2x? Isn't a so big boost, and 1.5 don't help that much. [...]
Since it was already said that a rework to the Catch system is not happening any time soon, I believe this little extra boost might do the difference to make catching a bit better in Diamond, but not the same like in Platinum.
Also, this way, every time there would be an event with "double rates" or "higher rates", we all would know it's +1 stage, and catch would be 3x, like it used to be before in Diamond during such events, and it will still be less than Platinum server, which would be 4x.
...
If increasing catch rate in Diamond server to 2x would not be possible, then could you please at least increase catch rate to 3x during events in Diamond like before?
Thank you in advance,
Nando~
