Early Access Feedback - So can you fix temple lock drop rate, or are you intentionally killing the league - Forum

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.

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.	Posted by SaiyanZ#3112 on Feb 2, 2026, 4:10:14 PM Quote this Post
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.	Posted by BPJ2021#8950 on Feb 2, 2026, 4:30:16 PM Quote this Post
