Q:

Was the rare > exotic ratio in forge nerfed? I feel like I"m getting less exotics now and I heard some people talking about how it was changed.

A:

Stealth nerf since patch. Put 4×80 and you might get a lower lvl one. Like the bad RNG wasn’t enough. Had to make it worse somehow.

Ohai! This thread again!

Just to let you know, Zomorros uses RNG when determining when you get an upgrade or not. RNG stands for Random Number Generator. In laymen’s terms, it means luck. So if you aren’t getting Exotics from your forging, then you’ve hit the bad luck wall.

The only tried and true method to beating bad luck, is to throw more attempts at it. So keep at it!

In GW2, Trading Post plays you!

I’ve been throwing in 4 level 80 rares and have gotten out some level 78-79 exotics…… this isn’t supposed to be happening, is it? I’ve also put in 3 level 80 exotics and 1 mystic forge stone and have also gotten out exotics lower than level 80. Today. Just now. I’m currently trying to find out what’s wrong (if anything).

It wasn’t a stealth nerf…well maybe..kinda…
They did announce in the patch notes that toilet was being tweaked to effect the rate of what gives. They didn’t say how tho so it can be considered some what of the stealth nerf.

Odd anyone would think that the mystic toilet needed a nerf. The concept of being able to get too much from it is totally laughable.

Zomorros was just being too generous before, I guess.

Well, obviously. There weren’t enough people on the forums QQing about throwing in 6000 rares and 2000 exotics and getting zero precursors.

Yeah, stealth or not it looks like a nerf and very tasteless one at that. They just nerfed the kitten out of loot in most ways on the 15th.

No, just tossed around of 20 rares on MF, and got back 4 or 5 exos.

Some days, no exo at all, some days high exo rate. But surely, not a increase in rate (As they’ve said it was going to be)

Where did you see a mention of increase in rate?

I have only seen mention of increase in variety and no change to precursor rates.

The Mystic Forge is going to get a lot of changes this year. To kick things off, we’re adjusting the way Zommoros distributes rare and exotic rewards a bit, allowing for more variation in output. This is just a stepping stone to further changes that will make the Mystic Forge a much better experience in the future. Please note: the rate of precursors will not be affected.

We are heroes. This is what we do!

RIP City of Heroes

Not sure how recieving items of lower level than the items put in is a better experience but ok if you say so….

On a tangent of future, when will that be? I mean there’s changes from 2013 that still haven’t been implemented

Maybe lets not change things until the changes are complete because there tends to be a habit of changing things partly and then not touching them for a year which results in a terrible experience for that year.

Let us buy vendor mats (eg spools of thread) in 250 stacks, end the excessive clicking.

Maybe they felt that players wanted the Mystic Forge to be more like a slot machine.
Like… the Players are thinking " Ok, I Put in 4 level 80 rares. let me click the Button… Oh, a level 80 Exotic. That was boring, I was Hoping for more excitement. The NOT KNOWING, if i might get a lower level White item maybe? That would have been thrilling to experience, the utter loss of the items??? gee, I wish that there were more variety. That way I could recreate the feeling of Plunking 1000 quarters and the thrill when I finally get 5 dollars out … let me post on the forums."

No one saw this thread???

The mind is its own place and in itself, can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven.
