I put some cash into the game to get through the Zortah levels to find that I need 40 "uncommon" NPCs to advance. Awesome... I've got a dash of GP left over, enough for 2 full tanks of gas (about 7k energy total). I eagerly anticipated hanging a handful of uncommon pelts on my wall.

What I got was a sore clicker finger and ZERO mission NPCs. I did get 92 flamehawks though, so it wasn't a total loss. (Actually it's 96 if you count the four that were already on my tab when I started.)

If only I had seen the signpost 100 levels ago that said, "ATTENTION: SEVERELY REDUCED GAME ENJOYMENT AHEAD"

I suggest that Flamehawks go from "Extremely and Ridiculously Common" to just "Common". That would be a nice start. I don't dare dream they'd ever become "Uncommon", since I don't ever get those.

Do what I do... be patient and do something else.

Captain Crunch this is a game of patient.

Take Xzien suggestion and do something else while you wait patiently.

I understand it's a game of patience. I'm well over level 400, and I've been here awhile. It was a matter of throwing my rant at the prevalence of Flamehawks in the game. The rage was not as much getting no uncommon NPCs as it was getting all Flamehawks, all the time.

I trust you can understand the complaint. It's a common one.

From the sounds of things, there needs to be a new NPC race or two which START at level 350, with some new drops, and the full spectrum of NPCs (common, uncommon, rares and elites). There also needs to be new missions, and maybe even some new "status" planets like exotica.
