    Tomorrow's maintenance

    It's so disappointing that during tomorrow's maintenance notes there is yet again no fix for loot. How long do we have to wait?

    Anyone write that there will be corrections? These are only our wishful thinking. Massive only looks at the "problem"

    A long time, if there is any fix coming at all. They probably need to rework their loot generation algorithm, and ensure the results meet whatever metrics they're using. That includes ensuring there is differentiation between the different difficulty levels, gear scores/player levels and loot sources. They'll also want to try and balance long-term player engagement. Hand out god rolls too frequently or slowly and people will quickly complain about how the loot is unrewarding again.

    Usually it states it takes a few hours.

    dudes , loose the ilusion that there is anything to fix in their POV, you are only fooling yourself, cant you see the signs ?

    this is how they want the game , nothing less nothing more, all you hear will be the usual we know and we are discussing it too and only because its either that , telling you the truth or silence, nothing else will happen.

    Don't be ridiculous. Hotfixes in these situations take hours or a few days at most. Nobody is asking for a full rewrite. Massive is simply being Massive. Ambitious, but rubbish. The whole Div2 is going downhill ever since the TU8 arrived. Just stay away from this trainwreck of a game if you want to keep you sanity.

    Um, yes, people are. Rainbow loot and attributes or talents that don't make sense (e.g. mag size on a shotgun) are the result of an algorithm that doesn't have any restriction on what gets rolled where.

    Thats the thing, for some, the metrics they are using are probably meeting the results they are expecting.

    I get a lot of rainbow and a lot of stuff I am not looking for, but I seem to mostly find what I am looking for in a time frame that I feel is not unreasonable.
    I know thats not the case for others but I can not be the only one.

    So if Massive runs a test internally, they are probably seeing that x build "should" be achievable in x hours, which is what they are aiming for. Unfortunately, for some reason, that doesnt seem to be what everyone is experiencing.

    The problem is everyone has a different expectation of what a reasonable timeframe is and how many pieces you are expected to trash before finding something usable. Even what is usable differs vastly between people.

    yepp devs ands totaly on ignore mode regarding the loot. they can answer **** stuff. but the important stuff , just ends up under the table.. where noone cares for it ...
    they will only care for stuff like this, if the playerbase will start to act ...

    the only way this game could see some change would be the day they came in to work and the servers were empty , only then something would happen , but that is NEVER going to happen so...
