Helltides aberrant cinders

Did the Helltides drops of Aberrant cinders get nerfed? To me it seems that I had gotten way more cinders last season than this season when playing in the Helltides.
It’s so bad now that I have stopped going there unless I run out of mats.

It was feeling fine for me until today. I feel like they nerfed them hard today. I got into a helltide with half an hour left and couldn’t hit 300 cinders. Half the mobs I killed literally dropped zero cinders.

yea it’s horrific now. 1 cinder per huge pack.
Buff the chests to 5 steel. Make a recipe at alchemist to use idk some other farmable material to make steels or something… I have like 40 eggs and 0 steel

The drop rate seems to bugged sometimes. I just watched Kripp experience the same crap I personally saw a few days ago. 20 minutes for 200 cinders. No matter how big the packs are - literally nothing drops.

Just a complete waste of time and the living steel chests are bugged as well as they won’t always show up. Four chests in tide and only two showed up today. I managed to conjure one of the missing ones out by rezoning but couldn’t get the other one even when I zoned. This stuff is annoying as hell.

Same noticed a nerf to the drop rate, same seems with the seasonal item blood lure

Helltides are the worst part of the game and are mandatory for anything that resembles gearing.
