Guild Wars 2

The patch is supposed to have relaxed the DR on loot and events, but my experience has been something very, very different.

I’m not a farmer. Never have been. I think I farmed once when the TP was briefly down one night (after the DR system was added) to get some mats for crafting level 30 gear. I mainly play for zone completion and really only do events if I happen to run through them. I never ran into DR before, and always got tons of loot from dynamic events, regardless of how many I did in a short time.

After logging into the game after the 10/7 patch, I am getting virtually no loot in DEs, even the first one I did. Anyone else experiencing this kind of thing?

You might just be on the tail end of the RNG.

If you got no loot on your first DE, then it’s not diminishing returns really. It’s either a bug or just really bad luck.

Give it a day or two and see if it’s still doing the same thing before blaming it on DR.

I’m not blaming it on DR precisely. Moreso, I’m just noting that after the patch I’m not getting any loot from DEs at all. I’ve done a few of them at this point and I think I may have gotten 4 or 5 drops over all of them.

Hm. I’d definitely say if it persists to report it, cause that’s really not normal if you just logged in and nothing. But I’d also maybe wait a bit to see if, again, you’re just having a bad night. None of the people in my guild that I’ve talked to (about 40ish people) so far have said their having issues, but it might be server related? I dunno.

I did about an hour of east gendarran fields after the patch and got like 5 greens… more than I usually get :\
