Well do you remember when the change occurred? My guess would still be that it most likely happened with that patch, perhaps because the patch overwrote some setting or table on the servers, but I'm not sure. (It seems unlikely that it was this way since June 1, since it wasn't listed in the news post, and it doesn't seem like EME intentionally changed it from the comment in this thread. So most likely conclusion is that the patch did something for whatever reason.)
35 games of fraywind on Sunday
21 dragon scales
11 feedstock
3 lakans
SOMETHING changed since Tuesday.
This is horrible horrible drop rates.
Don't give me "RNG is RNG" you think we play this game for RNG? Seriously do something about this.
I'm not saying anything about whether they've actually made a large change to the VM rate, I have not tracked enough games (and I doubt any single person has for that matter) to say with any reasonable degree of certainty that rates have been nerfed. Though for what it's worth, I have seen VM mats less often this week than last week.
The obvious time a change would have occurred would be whenever they added Lakan's Scales (this past Tuesday?). This is because there is literally no way to add something to loot table like this without affecting the rates of other items. There may be a remote possibility the patch affected it, but I highly doubt it because I'm pretty sure they just have a power hour prize template table and enter in the prizes and rates they want on that, there's no reason a patch would affect that anyway. However, that table had to be changed to add Lakan's Scales, which would contradict the official statement that "nothing was changed." My guess would be if a change to VM mats was made intentionally or accidentally, it was then.
Haven't gotten any of them, just mats in 15 boxes. ._.
Yea the rejuvenation or the poor amount of fs out of a victory chest is dissapointing.
Another thing, Talisman of lakan is a possible jackpot? I never seen that :silenced:
Well, from what we've seen before, patches can often revert things to their default values and cause regressions with various things (events, merchants, etc.), so I think they may have to merge events from the current build to the new build before it's released to ensure continuity (since new patches overwrite everything with their built-in values -- cause of many many patch regressions over the years). If that's the case, then this "change" could have happened whenever they did that merge (which could be weeks ago). But anyway, it's just speculation. (If the Talisman of Lakan isn't dropping, as the person above suggests, perhaps it was some sort of error, or rather than doing the merge they actually reimplemented it in the other build? Who knows...)
All other 48 were feedstock and dragon nails.... These jackpots sucks hard time!
Where are the badge of loyalty, lakan's banner and the other talismans? Dungeons huh? Well not everyone likes that crap, so we can't have the BIS Gear just because we preffer PvP over PvE? Makes sense! -_-
When you do 15 games in a day and 14 of them come with VM mats then next time you do another 15 games and none f them come with VM mats, you can be reasonably sure that something changed.
@counterpoint Honestly, nobody cares if it was the patch or the cows in the server room. Something has changed. That much is obvious and should be acknowledged and addressed.
then those which doesn't want to craft VM gear won't be doing BGs, and your que timer goes sky high. They just need to give it a proper rotation and not totally RNG, so 2 or 1 jackpot keep appearing.
and remove battle potion crap from those boxes, we can relate to HP but we are all getting battle potion from every where.
