Since the April 15th nerf I’ve noticed that my Magic Find is only effective inside Fractals. It does not work in Dungeons, Explorable Dungeons or World.
I realise this is an extremely difficult bug to report and actually convince people that it IS in fact a bug because of the RnG nature of the problem. I expect a lot of “just bad luck” and “mine works find” comments, but please don’t waste time posting that here, this thread is to try report a genuine problem that I am experiencing.
I have 159% Magic Find. This is not a huge ammount, but enough to ensure greens/yellows from dungeon runs … until the nerf.
Before April 15th Nerf:
I monitor my loot closely and it is pretty average but consistent. I would get at least 1 rare item per dungeon run without fail. Even if this was a sigil, but in most cases a piece of armor or a weapon/accessory. I would have enough rare items to salvage an average of 5-15 ectoplasms a day. I would also have enough items/loot to salvage each day to complete the “Agent of Entropy” achivement on a daily basis and increase my MF by a decent amount.
After April 15th Nerf:
I continue to monitor my loot closely and it is pretty poor but consistent still. I now NEVER get a rare item from a dungeon run! If I manage to get a rare from world events or fractals and salvage it, I do not get ectoplasms at all!!!! I use the Mystic Salvage Kit. For example, I did world events today and managed to get 13 rares salvaged for 4 ecto’s using Mystic Kits. That shuld not be possible! This means that MF is not coming into play when salvaging in the world, even when using the “best” kit. I realise it’s RnG and ecto’s are not garaunteed, but when you compare to prior-nerf, there is a very noticeable difference. I also don’t get anywhere near the same amout of loot as before and the loot I do get is 90% blues 10% greens. this means I now complete the “Agent of Entropy” achievement every 3-5days and rarely increase my MF. Again, this is a massively noticeable difference than prior to the nerf.
I don’t know if this helps or not, but after the patch, I had the bug where my dailies did not reset for a week. This was a bug that only affected a handful of players, and I suspect may contribute to this problem.
