Did drop rate changed?

Did drop rate changed guys ?

it wasn’t like this but the past few weeks feels like a grind to get a decent drop.

at 328MF i used to get at least one unique per Hell Andariel/Mephisto P3 and only sometimes get blues and yellows in one run. but for the past few weeks bosses seems to be dropping less.

Arrrr Ennnn Geeee!!!

i know what RNG is. but there comes a time when it wont feel random anymore

Do you play SP or MP?

If you play SP it is possible that you get too consistent with your farming route and most likely find the same stuff. But I assume that you just have bad luck since it would be pretty obvious if always the same items drops.

There dry times, sometimes you’re super unlucky and then you find 2 HRs in a single cowrun :man_shrugging:

Single player offline and yeah the farming method i use is straight forward and repetitive. which is why i noticed the changed. i mean, Random is fine but 2 weeks of lame drops is … weird for me.

Idk, then I would just try to change the map, or constantly play with random maps, I acutally do that in SP.
Or just change your farming route, do Meph before Andy or something.

In battle net launcher you open gamesettings and you can set a command line:
-resetofflinemaps

That way you will always have a random map without the need of open a game in a different difficulty.

thanks ill try -resetofflinemaps …

If you haven’t seen it yet, give this a look, as it sheds some light on how drops for superchests are generated based on your prior actions:

If you have a static map, you tend to find and keep following the optimal path to points of interest, doing similar and sometimes the same exact actions each time you do a run.

I wonder if it only effetcs chests or also monster drops.

I’m willing to bet it also affects monster drops, but the question is what other variables are at play? Moving or not, how many hits it takes to kill them, what type of damage kills them, the damage amount of the killing blow(which is often random itself), what direction they are facing… There’s a lot more variables to source from with a monster versus a chest. :dizzy_face: :exploding_head:

He appreciates the game for what it is, unlike someone who likes to spam their garbage mod on everyones thread.

Your mod needs work, get back to it.

was googling and quite a few were saying over 400 mf goes down on drops, the right mf is like 300 so going remove some stuff, but will do it at end month first I want to get my 500 mf and see what happens. Will keep you updates(if I remember…you know age mind lapsus :slight_smile: )

I don’t think so. Best thing to do in this situation, is roll a new char, mix it up. Try some unusual build or something.

The only consistent winner I have found is horking council over and over with a barb. Even that gets boring.

This season I found x2 tal armors, x1 on my zon with zero MF off trash mob in arreat plateau. Another 1 from hell baal, on my necro summone with 200 mf.

i just realized that i wasn’t complaining about no good drops.
it seems that the drop rates are indeed working.
i think i am complaining about getting a lot of greens and yellows stuffs that i already have a million times over. repetitive drops.

does level affects the rates that a rare unique item will drop ? im currently level 93 and i farm andariel on time tweaked terror zones in hell difficulty. maybe i need to up my level a bit ?

Lvl91 is the last sweet spot which gives a massive improvement to drops from superuniques (highest treasure class becomes available).
Increasing your level more will have very minuscule improvements.
And your level doesn’t affect if items drop gold/green/yellow/blue. That is your magic find. That has diminishing returns, so it increases chances of a unique a bit, greens noticable, yellows even more noticable and blues a lot.

thanks im currently on 327MF im thinking i may have to reduce it a bit to experiment.

The sweet spot is 250 mf.
