Dungeon Loot - Complaint
It’s RNG… bad luck
It’s RNG… bad luck
No it’s not RnG, it’s a considerable reduction in drop chances. Everyone in my guild that I’ve asked about this has shared teh same opinion and also noticed a significant reduction in dungeon loot.
But, on the positive side I’m not having to use “Mystic Salvage Kit” which means no need to buy Mystic Forgestones from the gem store, thus saving me money.
You buy Mystic Forge Stones?
“Memories are nice, but that’s all they are.”
This is why stealth nerfs are so bad. Because there have been stealth nerfs in the past, people will always suspect they exist every patch.
Not sure why Anet can’t just be straightforward — the trust of your customers is probably more important than hiding a nerf that people are going to discover anyway.
I’m reluctant to post this because A-Net will likely realise there’s something they overlooked and nerf this, but Fractals are still dropping loot as they used to!
For arguments sake lets say that a full fractal run is equivalent to a single EXP dungeon path ok? With the same amount of bosses and chests/loot.
I just completed a full fractal run, and a run in SE P3. Here are the results of the loot…
Fractal:
White/Common – 0
Blue/Uncommon – 9
Green/Masterwork – 14
Yellow/Rare – 3
Orange/Exotic – 1
Pink/Ascended – 1 (Ignore this, since it’s irrelevant for dungeon and only here to show high MF chance)
Dungeon:
White/Common – 1
Blue/Uncommon – 12
Green/Masterwork – 7
Yellow/Rare – 0
Orange/Exotic – 0
Now I certainly do not get an exotic item every time, so that is also kinda irrelevant. However, I used to get AT LEAST one rare per dungeon without failure! I am yet to receive a rare in a dungeon since the nerf.
This is not RnG bad luck, this is a clear and blatant nerf!!! It’s not like I’ve done one dungeon and gone “omg QQ no loot”. I have run multiple dungeons since the patch.
The loot dungeon chests now contain feels like we’re back at launch day. first they worked their kitten up to improve the loot etc now they just take it all away… sooooooooooo
Well if they dont like handing out gold perhaps the drop rate for recipes could be increased. I’m an a.c. running freak and I’ve gotten one recipe drop after over a thousand hours in there. Common kitten horrible loot.
Fractal chest are supposed to be a bit better than your normal dungeons at higher fractal levels (in theory) since it will take longer than say a normal dungeon. Each fractal will have 1 end chest so that is like 3 + final boss chest whereas normal dungeons you hit like 2-3 chest per run that take very little time.
