My first 20 runs or so fighting Baal on hell diff in t12 I was getting double drop mythics and now all the sudden my last 20 I have literally gotten zero mythics did they do a hot Nerf? Or am I having a really bad streak of luck?

I think they indeed toned down the drops I was getting every 2-4 kills a mythic now I’m barely getting anything in the first 5-8 kills. Might be an insane bad luck spree too from my end..
He has a few different drop “bundles”… some are good. Like the 2-4ga item shower, or the 3 sparks etc. Some are not great though.

Yeah, 100% nerfed. My buddy and I were farming him independently and came to the exact same conclusion. Zero Mythic drops from Baal in T12 in the last hour or so.

Ah yes the ol’ Exploit early Exploit often philosophy, while everyone else has to suffer after the nerf bat.

That’s crazy. I’m not even in T12 yet so now by the time I even get to kill him once he won’t even drop anything. Why let early players benefit but not a everyone else?
We have Blazing Scream doing 150s in under 2 minutes but they are focused on making sure nobody gets mythics or sparks?
Then they should make him no longer T13 difficulty if the rewards don’t match.

I’m not convinced that it’s nerfed. People were saying this yesterday and when I checked my drops felt the same as before.
Im not getting mythics from him anymore is that what you guys are experiencing?
Really takes the fun out of it.

Same results here, I’m assuming a nerf. Seems a bit typical that Diablo iV was showing some progress to make it fun, adding in some of the fun things from Diablo III, adding in some farm items, etc and they need to reduce the fun meter.
These dev’s do not understand a basic concept:
The more stealth nerfs on farms without introducing new ones the more likely people will stop playing..
The season already got flooded with bugged farms that tons of people took adventage from might as well let it be and make it look like you’re “trying” to do better next season

I was wondering the same thing. My friend and I were doing Baal runs like we were back in Diablo 2 and having a great time, but now it’s like it’s an entirely different loot pool of trash items. I’d like to know if we just got extremely unlucky at the end of our session or if there was a nerf. Either way, it sucked and we logged off.

Sadly this is what happens when you have devs that don’t actually play their games. Like you said, you were having fun and knowing you have a good chance of finding something keeps you playing.
In the devs eyes all they thought was oh crap people are going to be done with the season already, we need to stealth nerf this and that will force them to play longer.
What they dony understand is that actually has the opposite effect. Who cares if some streamers are able to gear quickly, the rest of us don’t play the game like a full time job.

Baal drops items? I didn’t know. I killed him 2-3 times on T12 and didn’t see anything. Worse than a nightmare dungeon boss.
Crazy this still happens, changes done without official documentation given in the form of hotfix/ patch notes in its entireity, makes you wonder..
Drops seems same for me, tried 6 Baal runs post patch, got 5 mythic items and 1x mythic seal, 1x mythic talisman.
They could just be throttling mythics per hour on a character or account level. Now that the word is out on how to remove the crafted tag from mythics all you have to do to complete your setup is farm the hell out of sparks and you are good to go. But knowing Blizz they will patch that out too and forget to turn the mythic drops back on.
Man this just took all the wind out of my sail. I was loving this season more than any other season I’ve played. I loved having a good old school D2 style farm that actually dropped things I need.
I would actually get enough mythic Leoric crown’s to believe that I could eventually get gem strength transfigure.
I just did 15 runs and didn’t get a single item that was useful. Before I was getting a mythic or sparks or a ber rune maybe once every 5 runs. Then they got rid of upgrading 3 mythics, then 3 to 1 to remove the crafting tag. I am done for the season.

Yeah every 2-4 kills a mythic?? yeah ok was that while you were riding your special unicorn mount in your own special server inside your head.
You DID NOT find a mythic every 2-4 kills you didnt even find one every 2-4 hours or days.
You are a LIAR! I would love to see any proof of this.
After about 10 more runs I’ve decided that something definitely changed. Earlier today I was getting 1 or 2 mythics nearly every run, tons of multi GA items, mythic seals, etc, and now it’s a dead farm. Yeah he occasionally drops a decent item, but it’s nowhere near like it was earlier today.
Either I had the most consistent luck for 3-4 hours straight, then went on a total dry spell out of nowhere, or they changed something. I believe they changed something, but who knows.
The issue continues to be, they are being pushed by the suits to make sure we are ENGAGED. In other words, total immersion in the fruitless pursuit of pixels!!! YEAH!!!. I am at a point of saturation again with this stuff, and faster even than last season. Rolling through pit 120s and able to park everything other than T12 Mephisto and Lilith. Pure DPS checks, and my 50-60Trillion crits, ain’t cutting it :). Stupid math.
