Guild Wars 2

I know the notes said drops were adjusted for the positive, but I’ve just killed 2 champions back to back in Orr one with a blue bow and one with nothing at all. I’ve also noted that the amounts of greens have decreased dramatically since the patch. Heck I did Jormag and got nothing but blues which seems odd based on the notes. Is it me or are there others out there noticing the same thing?

Go to the new Dungeon for loot now :-)

Yep, I farmed Cursed Shore for 5 hours on Friday, and I ended up with only 1 rare compared to the 2-5 rares I used to find an hour with less than 100% MF. Veteran and champion drops were poo. We’re better off repeating FotM over and over again now.

Which is beyond annoying.

I enjoy farming. It’s relaxing and I don’t have to put much thought into it. Get out there for a couple of hours, put on some music, and just chill. FotM is fun, but it’s not the same experience as open world farming.

I too actually enjoy the nature of framing at times. It takes no commitment, nor mental or social and it’s a way of progressing to towards a goal entirely in your own terms.

But with the nerfed drop rate people are now resorting to Dungeons for farming money/loot. AC and FZ are rewarding 50 – 80 Silver for 20 minute runs and have a fair chance of dropping loot. HotW drops a lot of loot too.

The open world is seemingly unattractive in comparison.

Unfortunately, your anecdotal evidence isn’t evidence at all.

You may FEEL like drop rates were lowered, but unless you’ve actually created some form of data then it’s a pointless comment.

I certainly haven’t noticed a drop, but I also don’t have any statistical data.

New dungeon doesnt drop anything good anymore except for the boss chests every 2 levels. Loot was abysmall after this " nothing was changed just maintenance" update.

Before that my group got tons of yellows out of chests even from level 2 in the fractals. Now every chest I have opened in the last 30 fractals (up to level 12) was 2 green 1 blue, no variety. Always 2 green 1 blue.

If there was a luck factor, in over 30 chests there could have been 1 yellow no? I don’t believe in endless streaks of the same loot constellation.

This was not only on my char, my whole group noticed that the loot was totally crap today. We joked that when we did fractals they were nice and even rewarded us properly and now A-Net nerfed the next thing that was enjoyable and made us good money.

Seems like a trend to nerf all the good stuff.

You sound surprise. have you play gw1 and all the awesome solo built that got bumrush? My all time favorite 600/smite
