I logged into the game today and tried to farm the crucible, but I noticed that for killing monsters I get much fewer Traces (from 4 to 10), I can’t even fill out the Echo strip before I get to the Echo Knight. Was there some kind of nerf or maybe that was bug? I used to get MANY TIMES more of this resource.

I think it got bugged. For me after like 4 runs or so i started getting much more traces, that i was able to get every echo.
