    Default They need to raise the drop rate for Ancient Swamps!

    I have been playing the Ancient Swamps lately and although on some level there are quite a few bosses there are very few pink or/or purple drops. They should raise the drop rate because all I have gotten are whites, yellows, and 1 or 2 greens!

    My personal opinion is that if they raise drop rate we will wear all the same.
    It is ok for me, probably less drop rate is better ;-)

    The drop rate depends on luck and on how many characters are currently in the game
    5 People- 5%
    4 people- 8%
    3 people- 10%
    2 people- 12%
    1 person-15%

    I don't think that is the case. One of the devs posted recently that drop rate has been fixed so that it does not depend on number of players. A single player has the same chance of getting loot in any given dungeon run whether they are solo or in a group of 5. You will of course get more stuff running in a group since you can clear the dungeons more quickly.

    The drop rate is perfect!! It does not need fixed at all. If they make items drop more, then everyone will have pinks again and the game will not be balanced.

    The drop rate right now is perfect. I love going to Towne and seeing no one wearing the same equips as me. It makes me feel ultra super mega fantabulous.

    Love the drop rate. Wouldn't mind a slight stat increase on rare drops.

    The drop rate could be a wee bit better, but it's not terrible. I agree that top level items should be slightly better relative to their more common counterparts. I also feel like there is a huge gap between drops of greens and purples. I get a ton of greens, almost as many as I get yellows. I get very few purples, almost exactly as few as I get pinks. Maybe the rate of purple drops could be boosted a little?

    I'd say the overall drop rate is pretty good right now, but it would be nice to see one of two things:
    1. Increase purple and pink drops a little, but I emphasize...just a LITTLE. I don't want it anywhere near where it used to be.
    OR
    2. Make purple and pink stats so amazingly awesome that it makes them being so rare completely worth it. Since good drops are more rare I am very happy when I get them, until I see that that stats aren't very good. For example, I got a lvl 35 purple sword from the swamps and I was so happy until I saw that it had 15 dps LESS than my lvl 30 weapon. I haven't checked the DPS post-patch today though, maybe that's been upped.

    Agreed. I want legendary legendary, meaning I may have never seen one before, but I also want them so good that it is worth the days of looting it takes to find them. Right now legendary item are hardly a better then their counterparts.

    On a side note... Alot of items in the swamp are beautiful, but so far have seemed to have terrible stats. Maybe this is just the decreased drop rate that makes it seem that way.

    Although the drop rate is a bit low, I think it's great.

    Only the players who're willing to grind for the select item of their choice will receive it, rewarding them for their efforts. Better looting system IMO.

    HOWEVER, for some of the pink/purple drops (and green, for that matter, considering some are as good as the legendary and epic loot), the really rare, high leveled items should have a slight stat bonus increase, just to make them worth working for.

    Agreed. My level 30 Snipers Bone Tunic has the exact same stats as my level 35 Snipers Croc Scale Leather except an increase in armor. That doesn't seem very legendary >_<.

    This might be a solution to the problem:

    There should be even more rare items that are blue, red, black, and Gold/yellow.
    Items sorted by quality and rareness:
    Grey = Trash
    White = Common
    Uncommon = Orange
    Green = Rare
    Purple = Epic
    Pink = Legendary (the pink needs to be a brighter pink so people can more easily tell difference between purple and pink)
    Red = Mythical
    Bright Blue = Magnificent
    Black = Unconprehendable
    Bright Pale Yellow (or Gold) = Unimaginable

    i think the "legendary" idea is the idea that the game is pocket legends. Not to mention legendary kind of already implies "godly" status.

    Ok, then just put legendary at the end. Like this:

    There should be even more rare items that are blue, red, black, and Gold/yellow.
    Items sorted by quality and rareness:
    Grey = Trash
    White = Common
    Uncommon = Orange

    Black = Unconprehendable
    Bright Pale Yellow (or Gold) = Unimaginable
    Pink = Legendary (the pink needs to be a brighter pink so people can more easily tell difference between purple and pink)

    Devs please consider implementing this idea, and post a poll to see if people like the idea or not.
