Why weren't these in the HoT Patch Notes ?
Source?
Be careful what you ask for
ANet may give it to you.

Look at the fractal dungeon forums, there have even been sample test .
Anyone who has done fractals (steady) pre-hot and then after can you drop rate was nerfed severely .
The developers have always been selective with what they include in the patch notes, it’s a bad habit I hope they can break
Resident smug Englishman on the NA servers, just because.
So, no source, as in you don’t know if it’s a bug or the drop rate was deliberately changed.

It’s annoying when they blantly nerf something, leave it out of patch notes and then “Roadmap” it and fix it months later and everyone praises them like Anet can do no wrong .

Have you done any fractals or do you just sit on the forums all day? (we already know the answer)
Yes ascended chests have been drastically nerfed. Maybe they’ll buff the rates some since so many people are upset about this.
I dont think it should be as high as before but it would be nice to know that you have at least a decent shot at a chest 40+. I think the reason they did this is to incentivize crafting asceneded. As it stood before it was much cheaper and smarter to farm fractals. Now maybe the pendulum swung too hard.

Yes it’s a “Bug” of course it is .

It may be deliberate. It may be a bug. Neither you, I nor the OP knows at this point so asking for it to be in the patch note without knowledge of which it is jumping to conclusions and making statements without a proper foundation.
I’ll let yall go ahead and finish your rants without trying to point out logic to you anymore. Have fun in game, ^^

If it was a bug that they were working on a fix for, there would be some acknowledgement by now. Judging by their lack of response, they intentionally made this change and are hiding from us because they know how kittened off we are.

Could give them the benefit of the doubt in it being a bug. And no, there isn’t any guarantee that we would have heard confirmation or that they are working on it. There have been bugs in the past that we weren’t sure “if” they were bugs, or intentional, and they didn’t say anything until after the checked into it.
Granted it could be intentional too, and was subsequently missed in the patch notes. Goodness knows that’s never happened before (sarcasm here). The issue with patch notes is that they are a compilation of information coming from an assortment of internal sources, and then posted. So sometimes things get missed or mixed up in the communication flow. So cut them slack on that, the people that write them up can only give you the information they in turn have been given.
Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.
They are looking in to it. Whether they’ll do something about the horrible fractal rewards in general is another thing.
“The reaction to the core changes to make fractals more approachable by playing one at a time has been really positive – but there is some work to be done still in the smaller details like balance, XP, and reward rates.”

The old “Road-Map” excuse, please it’s been 2 weeks since hot and in those two weeks there are been an large amount of people bringing this up, and not even one direct comment on it, just some random quote from a interview . Right now they are deciding on how to word it so that people won’t get upset or say it’s a “Bug” and then back-pedal . The difference between drop rates pre-hot and post-hot are light and day, and it’s just bluntly not caring about the player base as they can’t make up their mind and just try to shuffle in stealth nerfs .
