    Less gear drop again!

    After patch 6.1 I had experience really nice drop gear rate, but after last maintenance from last Wednesday 18.12 I saw there is no more nice drop from enemy's in all targeted areas. All drop and all others stats to it are really crappy. Is it me or are I am just unlucky??

    It will be nice to hear something from DEV about actual drop rate?

    Thanks

    For 2 weeks or so after 6.0 everyone I know got decent gear drops, and that allowed us to recover after some of our builds were rendered useless by the gear changes. But since then the quality of the stats has plummeted. This is clearly not plain and simple RNG, it is slanted.

    Example: I found 6 pieces with DTE in the high 40's or low 50's immediately after 6.1, since then max has been 29. Despite farming harder. It is the same with other stats. I am currently playing to improve my gear but it is so pointless I am on the verge of giving up. Only one of my friends is still playing this game, despite them all having 2000 or 3000+ hours in Div1.

    I keep hearing from so many players that the gears scores have dropped to the floor, it has to be rigged. But I think we always suspected that to be the case.

    TU6. Was mostly useless GS500 gear on Heroics, to now a one or two useless GS500. The rest which the number of pieces vary, but the rest has changed to about 50% useless Purple and 50% HE that is below GS500 that is useless. It has all been useless, but the chance of those god rolled items is getting farther and farther away from ideal. It almost feels as if I have been given the loot pool from a lower WT.

    Inexact but less frequent.

    Still no luck finding a damned Merciless either despite spamming JTC on Challenging whenever I do feel the urge to play.

    Real tired of how crappy the loot in general is, lack of in-game stat ranges (to know if stuff's worth keeping) and well... I made a thread about it a while ago so see my points there.


    TL;DR bump up the quality and simplify the damn loot tables already, there doesn't need to be a million variants for a given slot. That kind of RNG is fine in a game like Borderlands but not here.

    The stats are meaningless; in some instances no matter the situation you get a chance to use armor kit and take cover with verbal warning.

    I’m other instances, you are going down no matter what.

    Ubisoft really only wants us to keep playing on a mandatory-online server to farm data on us while we farm virtual gear.

    Since the apparel cache update they definitely tone down the rolls on the gear knowing people are going to farm hardcore to get the apparel caches.

    Yes gear has gotten worse , more items with stupid low skill power and haste , The devs / mods keep well away from posts like this . if they do answer they say it is just RNG . That must be joke of the year now..

    I went back to ODZ today and got a black widow , Thought great need to try it, setup my LMG build and it came out at 33k .. lol must be 33 peanuts and they lost the bullets , as it does NO damage .?..I gave up and.left the game in disgust . . away to look for a game that i feel like i can progress , this game does not allow you ti advance even a little bit ..

    99.99% of my loot is garbage. I don't know if I can waste my time on this game anymore.

    I don't thing the devs understand that by them making you farm for weeks for certain gear items like i genuinely have then it gets to a point where the wait isnt worth the result you know.

    I have Gila and Wyvern unlocked on craft aswell and they are both the pieces i need so i can craft or deconstruct for mats right.

    Yet the majority of the wyvern chests come with a passive talent (looting/crafting) and its infuriating. 100% something is off with Wyvern and its costing me my mats and currency everytime judt to get Mad Bomber, Payload, Passives.....


    Seriously. Craft 10 Wyvern Chests now and tell me your results
