Has your loot quality dropped drastically? | Forums

[GFlack]

This is a trick question. I do not think it has gotten worse, mainly because I did not think it was good to start. I do occasionally find a piece that I can add to my library, but if it wasn't for the library this piece would be trash. Other than that, I rarely find gear with more than a single quality roll. I do see a lot of named items, but again, then rolls on these items make them worthless. I won't talk about exotics because I rarely see them.

Overall, the statement of "turning down the amount of loot in favor of better quality loot" seems to have been greatly exaggerated, or at least, the term 'better quality' is not defined the same for everyone.

Idk man... Just did DCD heroic and exotics seems to drop fine to me...



I know i was lucky and the chance of that was 1 in a trillion.

Has your loot quality dropped drastically?

Yes


This week for whatever reasons, I've seen a sharp decrease in stat rolls on gear, weapons and mods.

Running mostly heroic missions
Couple of legendries and couple of Raids on normal
Some level 4 control points.

On average the stat rolls are around the 50% to 60% mark
Less then average, stat rolls are around the 20% to 40% mark
One or two items per hour have around the 70% to 80% mark
Have seen zero stats above the 80% mark for this week farming heroics and level 4 control points.

Possible they are changing the best stat rolls for legendries only?

I agree, loot just feels horrid right now. I’m not even necessarily talking about exotics or named items, but the rolls on regular old gear have been abysmal for me, playing most everything on Challenging.

It’s interesting though, my dad got himself a console for Christmas so I bought him a copy of the game. He’s been struggling, so I deleted one of my characters and started totally over so we could play together without figuring in the scaling for my endgame level characters.

And it looks like they even nerfed the loot in the campaign. Granted it’s been months and months, but I don’t ever remember pulling gray items out of the yellow control point rewards containers before, but my new character is level 7 and I’m still getting them. Oh cool, here is the exact same gray holster that I got from killing a red NPC outside! It ups my armor by like 5 points, gee thanks!

Anyway, yeah. Bugs aside, loot is the biggest issue for me right now.

My favourite drops today.

Went farming For some ALPS for a Healer build.

had two masks
One back pack
one Holster
I need skill haste and skill repairs 2 of those dropped with 2 red attributes the other two dropped with health and Armour regen

Also dropped a Strikers piece with yellow ? and a Providence with yellows

So that was a waste of time

Why am I getting red DPS gear dropping with only yellows and skill yellow gear dropping with bloody reds or blues. it's been bad today and those weren't the only out of whack pieces .

Seriously, do different servers have different values for drops? I have been getting the rainbow drops for 3 weeks, how come people noticed only now?

For me, it's because since this NY update that max rolled items were so easy to get, now that my library is banked up nothing new worthwhile is around. End-game max stats are collected too quickly now, so the game is becoming really boring.

I've been doing the same and have had the same luck as you. They need to weight the other stats on gear towards what the primary stat is. If the primary is yellow then the other stats should have a larger chance to be the same color, perhaps 50% for the primary and 25% for each of the other 2.
