Purple Rain..! Please let this just be bad rng. | Forums

I have notice a distinct uptick in the rate that Superior/Purples that are dropping. After an hour of play I am averaging 50% purples, this feels like a significant increase from what it was before patch 3.0, which was around 20%. I hope its just me and this purple rain isn't working as intended (well to be fair given the context of that reference lets call it light rain).

Just thought I would give a heads up in-case anyone else is experiencing this and is chalking it up to rng.

Anyone else seeing unusual results..?

Sorry further details, sample size was 70 items dropped, WT5 gear score 480 and above.

I too have noticed a preponderance of purple items dropping when I played yesterday. I would even go so far as to say my purple drop rate was greater than 50%. I'm in WT5 with GS of 496 (previously 509).

Purples are good for recal attributes so not all bad... the problem I am having with drops is they aren't being flagged in inventory as new items (consistently).

The ratio of purple drops has always been bad....but last night was the worse I have seen. Where it used to seem like a 50/50 chance a drop or box item would be purple now its more like 90% chance. And to add insult to injury the 10% high ends are 90% as useless as being a purple in terms of being an upgrade or useful for recal.

And I cannot recall the last time a purple item dropped that had any attribute with significant amount that it was worth keeping for recal.

As far as I can tell they are completely worthless. Capped on mats so not worth to deconstruct....I just vendor to amass more currency that is virtually useless.
