Drop Rate Increased?

[kiitz]

Anyone notice drop rates increased?

I got 3 pink drops yesterday in probably... 6-8 hours of total play? I had a friend get 5 pink drops the day before that.

Before the update, it would be common to do a 3-4 hour farming session without seeing anyone get anything. Since the update, I feel like I usually see at least 1 pink drop if not more.

Anyone get this feeling, or am I just getting a good luck streak?

Which maps are you doing in the first place? :p

[CanonicalKoi]

Are you talking in the Sewers or elsewhere? I haven't noticed any increase in Sewer drops.

[Echelong]

Well consider yourself lucky then, from what I and a lot of friends have experienced is a nerf to drop rates.

God I hope so

You're riding on a lucky streak, man! Those runs were fun and especially rewarding to see your FF Plate and FF Shield (Jackychiu/his Mage alt got the bracer at the same time) drop.

anglfyr noted a MM robe and something else in consecutive runs, post-GCD. I personally experienced two MM robes in three runs, but that was pre-GCD.

The devs haven't said anything officially since the update, but I'm still on the belief that it's all random as usual.

You're just lucky kiitz.

I played a good 10-12 hours last saturday and i didn't get a single pink. Plus, i only saw 4 pinks dop during those times.

Yesterday i play for a couple more hours and finally got one.

[Riccits]

just luck! :)

Just talking Sewers. I wouldn't go to Plasma Pyramid for a few hours and hit the boards claiming drops rates for pinks have increased! lol.

Okay, I guess I'll just consider myself lucky then :)

I think its just because in my mind I was thinking - if they leave the GCD as it is, they HAVE to increase drop rates, or people will go insane. I guess with the GCD "fix" which made it feel faster, its about the same speed as before.

Just lucky. I'm going on 30 hours of sewer runs without a pink. But i'm sure my luck will turn soon. Typically I would get a pink every 5 hours or so. Enjoy it while it lasts! :)

2 in one day yesterday, fury shield and sewer queen robe. Maybe 8 runs tops. Luckiest ive been yet.

[kiitz]

Yeah, great tanking on your "fat bird" :D

Jackychiu was the one who got 5 pinks in a day. 4 of them Sewer King leather! I'm actually using one now in my dex load out on my bear now while he is selling the rest.

Looking to hit 56 tonight (and maybe my GF will finally hit 55 on her mage).

I havent got a pink drop in over three weeks, and ive even had a few 10hr play days over that period of time. Consider yourself lucky.

[jakaniz]

Same with me, 2 days ago got mm staff, sewer king leather and sewer king scarab within 4 hours. But none yesterday. Chalk it up to luck and mine seem to have run out lol

[Major]

I'd say it's just luck for sure. It's been like a week since I've got a pink in BS :( lol

[Suntv]

Definately luck. Yesterday I "lived" in Hideout and gained 17500xp without any pink drops, only a handfull purples.

[kiitz]

lol, alright. Definitely seems like luck. Well, I'll just be happy I've been lucky recently then :)

I'm going to try to keep better track of my boss kills/drop frequency. Would be interesting!
