Can a Ubisoft rep please tell us what you did in the above patch, because i think you have been Nerfing. Since that patch, for me the drop quantity has dropped and the quality. I have not seen a dark green drop since that patch. "All" boss drops are yellow.

It's up there, just check the changelogs subforum.
I will eat my hat if that's all they have done. I have just this minute finished a S&D mission in Stuyvesant that was tougher than the HVTs I did today, which included something like 10 Rikers, one of whom was a boss bullet sponge. I know it is only a S&D, but I did not get "one single drop" out of that lot, zero, nada, not even a grey!Originally Posted by Surveiller Go to original post
I haven't been getting drops from any named bosses today. I spent 90 Intel and have nothing to show for it (some group mates got loot, others did not). Ran DZ and took out some named bosses in dz6... No drops. I had to turn the game off for the day. I'm sure it's a bug, but come on now, can we get at least a functioning product for like 30 minutes please.
If this has happened and I think it is too much of a coincidence not to have why does Massive and or Ubisoft keep doing this? Once again I just finish a bunch of "critical" S&Ds, which included yellow elites coming out of the woodwork everywhere. All three gave me a blue drop each mission. On my way back to the safe house to collect my reward, I bumped into three lev 26 Rioters, dropped two of them at once and 1- shot the third. And I got a purple and a blue drop just for that.
It's the same here, I did a weekly HVT with two of my friends and it was like a swarm of yellow 32's coming over. All over the place, three different waves, one was regular LMB soldiers, one was shotgunners, the next was combat engineers. You can only imagine 8 combat engineers with turrets up, it was mayhem-ish. I noticed the increase of difficulty in any activity across the board between Friday and Saturday, and the decrease in drops.Originally Posted by thefixerman Go to original post
And the most annoying thing, you get involved in a S&D and then you get the regular 25-26 NPC's involved and they hit hard now, and move in packs of 6-7 now. Every single time they spawn out of nowhere because we probably complained so much there are no NPC's roaming the streets, and well, now we do have them. They mostly drop nothing after the Friday's maintenance; make them drop something, at least a few credits, anything, I don't think we need white drops from them.
And also, the drop rate from the S&D is clearly nerfed, no matter what the patch notes say. Probably someone at Ubi/Massive was too worried we were going to rock the purples they were dropping? Or we would get too many mats/credits from them?
