Item drop rates in Visions nerfed by arround 90%

i see people complaining that there is too much loot in visions, why are the drops butchered now? 20 visions with 3 to 9 floors and only 12 legendairy items, arround 300 db and 100 yellow items. It went from i have to travel 2 times to base to sell all my items to im not gonna play the game anymore cause this whole season is boring to play.

Is this after today’s maintenance?

yup. someone has to test it too cause i think im loosing it, my frend tells mee that he gets still the same ammount of drops and that there is no hotfixes to what im saying.

I sure hope it’s just bad luck, because if it’s been nerfed like you said, they’ve ruined it.

Drops are unchanged on console, we didn’t receive a patch yet.

There might not be a patch if it’s just a server-side change.

Consoles play without servers, apart from a query wether a season is active.

Droprate changes on console require a patch

Just tested it and it seems ok to me. Got 2 full inventories of legendaries.

Just did act 3 and 4 runs and the visions were nerfed 100% (didn’t get a single vision…). EU server.

It would be server side on PC. The Diablo client doesn’t “decide” anything.

Seems fine to me. Still fast to fill bags.

The loot explosion seems to be lowered considerably. Just had a small, two tier vision with little loot drop and then a multi-tiered one where there was no explosion of whites, blues and yellows like there used to be. There was still a good deal of legendaries and also an elite level with an explosion of dbs (Sage bonus on follower). This is EU side.

The loot has not been touched as far as I can see. I’m still drowning in it when I run one of these.

Fine here. Only thing I noticed is that clan loot chat is broken again. Sigh.

did a couple rounds of bounties. fissures still spawned like usual. the levels aren’t all “good ones” anymore. you still get them, but they are like 1/6 from what ive experienced. One fissure took me 4 trips to sell all the legs. Others I got a few here and there. The normal mobs aren’t dropping legs like elites anymore. that’s the difference.

Worked fine on my machine. Had a floor with all champions that gave me 18, then the next floor was all normal enemies and dropped 10.

Look OK to me

I ran all 5 bounties solo. The drops seem unchanged.

Keep in mind that the first 4ish floors drop very little, so if you hit the end early it will seem like nothing dropped. But as the floors go on, they seem to still drop the same amount. In three of the visions, I filled 2+ stash tabs of just legendaries.

As for the vision spawn rate, I only got nine across all acts, which feels low. However, the bounties themselves will influence the number vision spawns. Bounties like Maghda, Belial and Zoltan Kulle don’t have much to kill. While others like Kill Araneae, kill Cydaea, killing 100/125/150 mobs, or searching entire zones for Triunes, captives, etc, will have you killing a ton of stuff.

And, this experiment was an n=1. So only 9 visions during the run can’t be used determine/suggest any changes to the spawn rate.

I ran like 15 fissures. I got 3 bad ones. 10 pretty good ones. 2 super awesome ones.

Don’t know if its real or placebo… I usually run temple of the first born to spawn them… something about killing such a high number of mobs feels like they spawn quicker.
