Since the patch, the cinders are not dropping anywhere near the rate they are supposed to. I spent 40 minutes farming a Helltide to only find 450 cinders. Hoping this is a bug and not a horrible idea for the new norm.
do you happen to remember what zone the helltide was on?
Good question. I think it was the Kehjistan - Scouring Sands one?
I saw this severely reduced drop rate in Kyovashad
It is just in Kyovashad, just finished Hawezar and did 900 in 30mins
Dry Stepes just finished and I was only able to get 400 in the hour. Yesterday, I could get 10 chests in that time frame.
I just did the Helltides in Dry Steppes, and I was getting 0 to 1 Cinders per pretty good sized mobs.
Same for me just now in Hawezar. In 30 mins I could easily get 1000+ with my rogue now I barely got 300 in 25 mins , a big pack of mobs were dropping like 1 or 2. The cinders from chests work ok but the others from mobs 100% it’s buggy . I`m not sure what’s happening but it did happen to me yesterday aswell think it was in Kehjistan. This ultra sucks and requires a hotfix
Later edit: Somehow closing the game and re-opening it did seem to fix the problem and mobs started dropping cinders properly
I’m also having this low cinder drop rate as well. Just happened in the Gea Kul helltide with very infrequent drops, just like the previous posters. This is after the latest hotfix.
