Loot Drop Rates Weekend Feedback thread

[Justg]

Hey folks!

We have had several changes to the loot drops with the last two updates, particularly:

• Loot is now dropped based on the items' rarity (as opposed to the old system where loot drops were chosen 'randomly').
• Bosses now drop loot every time they die.
• Mobs drop loot per-player, so 5 players get 5x as much loot as 1.
• Decreased trash loot drop rates to compensate for increased boss loot drop rates

In essence we are trying to make the bosses drop more meaningful things and thinning out the trash a bit. Please let us know how it feels over the course of the weekend.

THANKS!

This does definitely affect farming, it seems...Anyway, there's nice bonuses too due to the boss drops. I'm not really sure..Do devs even have a serious problem with farming for gold? After 30 thats what most people do.

I like that rares drop less but there needs to be a better trading system. It should work while your offline, you put what you have and what you want. If someone offers what you asked it's auto traded.

Example I put I am looking for X item, and am willing to trade any of the following x items for it. It would create a real value to certain items. 1 person says pink for pink, the next has to add 500 gold in order to better the offer, etc.

The percentage of drop rate was decreased way to much.
And there are alot of bosses that still don't have promised drops.
Lil bill from Lost Expedition.
Sparky from mega maze.
Dead-eyes from mega maze.
Those are a few off the top of my head.

Yah there are pinks in le I've found a few but nothing really for my class..but anyways I'm happy with the drop rate now u think it's fair and now makes the rares well actually rare now lik they shuld be ...and also lik I've said in other posts this will good for pvp to will actually make ppl wanna farm more so they can be better ...jus my opinion anyways

[Splurd]

mmm its abit hard to farm for loot now. I am not sure if I like it, it is hard to weight game balance over personal greedy needs and wants.

I think this will separate the best of the best. Now not every person will have the best items and trading will actually be beneficial.

I love the drop rates since new update I don't think finding legendary every second is classified as fun I was actually starting to get really sick of the drop rates everyone was getting godly and I believe u should have to work for what you have not doing 2 dungeon runs and already having 20 purples n pinks. Good job spacetime I like it alot more just make 2 way trading and it will be perfect!

Whoa. I just played a game and got about 15 drops within 6 minutes. They were all trash but it's still very suprising. This was in LE btw.

Ya this is very true trading will be alot more useful now that the godly drop rates are at minimum and it even has me lookin to trade right now and that's what I believe makes a good online rpg, can't wait for the 2 way trading and pvp !! thanks for the posts justg keep up the great work.

I'm liking the new loot system. So far I've got a pretty proportionate amount of loot, as opposed to the random amount previously. I also like the idea of more people, more loot. It helps to discourage solo farming.

[BestHyun]

well i would like to know what the previous drop rate for pinks were, and how much it was dropped because i haven't found a single one for 10+ hours o.o.

[TheBaconKing]

I have been playing pretty actively since Friday. I have only seen maybe one Purple. Also before y'all updated it so the trash doesn't drop much there hasn't been too many drops in general. A ton of junk items mostly.

I posted this in the update thread before i found this thread:

Loot table are looking VERY badly messed up for forest haven, lower levels etc. I just created a new character and went back.... I'm now getting 25-30 level items in forest haven.... this shouldn't be possible. This leaves a large hole for farmers. (25-30 level items sell for much more, and contain more legendary items.) I have run into more pink and purples in forest haven than I was in Lost Expedition. Furthermore... I'm getting like lost expidition "ice" and crypt "bone" items in forest haven. Something doenst seem right.....

I still support rare items being rare... i'm just letting you know there is a current loophole in the system.

[Splurd]

I actually prefered the previous drop rate.

right now I am getting alot of white and greys, which is frankly not exciting.

I got more excitement when I got Orange whatever bow of fred.

Sure, it was useless vendor trash but I was like, zomg I got item!

Now I'm like, oh look, another frost king bow. *junks*

[BestHyun]

has anyone even seen a pink drop since the last update? how do we know that its even possible yet? lol

[doot]

Played about 5-6 hours over the weekend, soloing King's Forest and partying up for LE. I didn't see a single purple/pink. I agree that it was way too easy before but this new drop rate is ridiculous.

I don't think I'll pick up the game again until the drop rate for rares is increased or until the next expansion. Too much for work for such a young game whose sole purpose at the moment is getting drops. It was different with older games like UO, EQ, EC, etc. when they were still trying to figure things out and an adjustment like this wouldn't be a big deal because there was more to do in the game, but with PL, there simply isn't. Max out your guy, and hunt for drops. If I spend 5 hours of my weekend and my net gain is zilcho, then it can be very discouraging. In regards to drops, you guys should really find a happy medium between this update and the previous one.

[BestHyun]

another good thing to mention i guess is that since this is a mobile game, it should be more rewarding than a pc game since most people dont play excessively. i just think the rates should be increased a lil bit for pinks since ive never heard/seen anyone finding one since the update.

[Dexterity]

Havent even seen one green drop since this update...
