    it's funny, i am playing d3 s20 atm and one thing stands out when it comes to loot: more the better. not less. ya 99.99% is crap but it doesn't matter, i can take the trash and use it to roll the dice again. i am not the fan of less loot thing they got going on here, just feels so unrewarding compared.

    Joined a random group last night doing a Coney Island mission on heroic with 3 directives. The loot was actually very good so it is out there.

    Possibly only the 3rd heroic mission i have joined that has had any directives included so maybe this is the way to go for better rolled drops.

    I don't know how much you play. I would put god rolls items in line with exotic drop rate.
    I've had about 10-12 exotics and had about the same of god rolled items in 170 hours of play time.

    That is very very very very poor for the items that dropped. A lot of the exotics were **** rolls. I think I only using 3 of the god rolls items the rest were duplicate or garbage god rolled items.
    It better to just glitch and speed run until they fix everything.

    It's centered around luck, so some players have better drops than others, but I have very rarely seen seen max damage roll or max anything on my gears so far.
    And when I do get a max roll on something the other rolls end up being abysmally low.
    (Not to mention that the last Exotic drop I got was like two-three weeks ago and the roll was appalling too...)
    And since the numbers in this game are so big now, a few percent ends up being quite a bit.
    You can replace one of the rolls though, or extract the max roll and put it into another item.

    The numbers matter sure, but if you've +85% weapon damage from gear when you could have +100%, it's not really a game-breaking difference.

    For a few gear items, I'm already very close to the end of the line at 90 hours played. Given that over that 90 hours, much of it was spent without even the theoretical possibility of getting the best loot since I was sub level 40, I doubt there would really be much for me to grind after another 90 hours if I just grinded away. Not much that had actual tangible difference, at least. A few better rolls, but we'd be talking of small differences.

    The point I want to make is that if they significantly increase the loot drop quality (well, I'd argue that for exotics, they could and maybe should), then that will also decrease the amount of time until all your gear is so good that a better drop simply has one or two percentage points higher attributes. The time to get to that point is already quite small compared to most MMOs.

    The difference is night and day compared to pre TU8 where I literally had no more than 3-4 god rolls in my stash after a year of playing. And I definitely see better loot consistently playing in harder difficulties. Yeah, you won't suddenly start getting perfect pieces raining from the sky playing heroic, but it's not hard to put together a strong build in a matter of days.

    The only thing I think is a bit under tuned is the amount of loot that drops while playing solo, because the enemy density is lower and there are less elites, you get a fraction of the loot you can get playing with a group.
    See I see these assertions of god rolls. A max role stat and a god roll item are quite different. I have a wyvern kneepads with 10 skill dmg and I rolled 12 haste that is a god roll. Having 12 haste in my library is a max roll, not a god roll.

    Getting a wyvern with 14 weapon handling and whatever the max roll is for armor regen isn't a god roll. It is a wyvern with 2 max rolls. Unless you are making some janky build that uses at least on of those 2 stats and then you can reroll the other

    1. It has been 2 weeks now since I moved difficulties from Challenge to Heroic and I am yet to see god rolls even on at least a singe stat attribute
    2. Named and exotics that drop come with very low stat attributes
    3. The harder the contens, the more time you are just wasting
    4. Soloing CP4, Heroic bounties with directives on and the loot is still trash (Thank you Drew)

    The list can go on and on and on but the morale of the developers minds is "They will always be quicker to patch whatever benefit the players even when it is not game breaking but less interested to make us feel powerful through grinding"

    The heck they even patched the DZ loot quality to a point that taking a spin to the DZ is pointless. The only god rolls I have ever had was a Police M4 with max AR dmg and health dmg a few days before they patch the DZ.

    They even made sure to ninja nerf the crafting bench and now crafting is just a waste of time and materials.

    They took away what used to make feel powerful and all we do now is getting one shot by red npc dealing over 1mil dps.

    No wonder Faye Lau has joined hands with the Black Tusk and people are using the damage glitch.

    INSTEAD of releasing contents, fix the long standing issues such as loot quality and talents not working i.e unbreakable not proccing but going on cooldown when the armor is depleted, striker not stacking

    They said Elite player can do legendary mission with 5 directives solo. But u know how ridiculous that is.

    I stopped doing Heroic missions and CP4 for farming. Same garbage as on Challenging but challenging with PUG gives much more loot with much less effort.

    Just had a few hours of global heroic with all the directives added. farmed the zone with chest pieces and backpacks and did all the CP's. Loot was the best I have had since hitting 40.

    Apart from my gloves and knee pads everything has been updated to better gear today and with the maxed out rolls in library I have some decent pieces now.

    SHD level is 144 so its not like Ive only had a few hours since hitting 40.

    Heroic and all Directives is the way to go it seems, solo for the LZ anyway, actually enjoyed it a lot as you have to be on your toes with no map. Hardest part is the special ammo they use as its a bit of a killer really so some healing skill is needed really.

    Not sure I would add all to missions as you don't get a second chance like in the LZ but it was good fun and the loot was very good.

    Grinding Target Zone Fenris Today trying to better my Gloves....

    I got ZERO pairs of gloves even close to the ones I'm currently using....

    Zero Exotics....

    One Fenris Chest I made "GOD" but actually sucks, since it came with skill haste and a skill talent....I use NEITHER of these...

    G28 Rifle I made "GOD" which again, since I never use Rifles....a waste of space.....


    And I broke the other 300 pieces I collected as nothing else improved my library at all....


    Can we get the RNG fixed...take away all the crap attributes, and boost the %age on drops....

    Tired of seeing pieces that have only 2-3% on them, when they should be rolling way high for the difficulty I'm on....
