With the buffed Helltide we have a source for everyting a loot hunters hearth straves for.
-
Good Legendary droprate…Check!
-
Unique drops and possible Uber Uniques…Check!
-
All required mats in the game (included Boss mats)…Check!
-
Good monster density and fun events…Double check!
But outside of Helltides the game feels so empty and unrewarding now, it’s not even fun to compare.
I ran my first NMD 47 to unlock Pits…All I got was 1 Blue and 1 yellow wand till the boss room.
The boss itself dropped 3 Legendaries but thats it.
Same for the rest of the content so far…No idea if Pits will have better drops (esp in higher Pits) but so far the game kinda forces the player to farm Helltide 24/7, becasue the rest of the game gives way less rewards for the effort.
Esp. NMD…are they bugged atm loot vise or is this very low droprate on purpose?
Becasue thinking about the fact that I have to run over 100 very unrewarding NMD to level my Glyphs to 21 leaves a very bad taste behind and kinda demotivates…And this for every character I want to play this season.
Hope that the droprate in NMD is a bug and will be fixed in a future hotfix, so it’s at least on par with Helltides…same for the rest of the content outside of Helltides.

You’re complaining about the very thing we have been asking for.
I don’t want to be showered with loot to sift. I do want drops to be exciting and meaningful.
They are moving in the right direction. Now we just need item bases and blue items to mean something and many different types of items added.

Welcome to dragon flight. I mean D4. Nothing rewarding outside of a few events at max level.

I have no problems with loot reduction itself (Esp if its quality over quantity)…Quite opposite, I was one of the first who asked for it.
But at least give all activities in the game the same loot for the effort.
I don’t want to be loot showered either like in Diablo 3, but only 1 blue & yellow wand in the whole NMD47 run is a bit over the top reduction, don’t you think so?
I don’t ask here to bring back loot rain like the seasons before…I just ask to bring all activities on par loot vise.
Because if 1 activity excells loot vise all the other activities will become obsolet…this kills the farming area diversity and limit us to Helltides farming only. 
Totaly agree with you…Legendaries should deserve the word “Legendary” and all rarities should be kinda useful in endgame.
But this is not the point of this thread.

I would agree if they didn’t call gutting and nerfing cleaning up. I mean MS as a only choice just sucks. But yet i can still roll a garbage stat like %distant when i am a barb. One foot in the right direction, the other is wearing a clown shoe.

NMD needs to reward a lot of gold, without good tree of whispers this season has been terrible for gold. End up selling gear which feels odd.
D4 isn’t a bad game. It’s not an amazing game. It won’t stand the test of time like D1 or D2. I think it has potential to catch up to D3 for sure. For me it’s about a 6 or a 7 out of 10. It’s a middle of the road game. I hope the expansion makes it more worthwhile. And i really hope they fix the rubber banding and lag issues. I really feel for HC players for this game for those reasons alone.

Well I do not think the problem was the quantity of items that were dropping, the issue was the quality.
What they should’ve done is, and this for whatever reason gets pushback in these forums, is a loot filter. They could’ve easily kept the quantity of items that dropped without having to sift through garbage by giving us a filter.
But for some reason they refuse to do it.

to be fair, i am here because i kind of ran out of things to do on helldivers 2 until next warbond
to my surprise s4 seems a lot better than s0-3 combined, i am glad to give it another go
if they keep this up i am probably going to buy the DLC!

Running NMD, I tend to see a decent amount of drops. Mainly yellow with a few blues, but the boss is where it seems to have the better drops. I believe you are guaranteed something from killing the boss.
Let’s face it everyone knows why we do NMD. It’s because it literally is the only source of glyph xp. Sure, some dungeons are for the tree of whispers, but typically I just let the NMD cover it if I happen to have a sigil for one. Where else do you put this xp? You have to tread carefully on this, because you could literally make an area obsolete because of efficiency.
Hell Tides are great, I love the meter where they swarm you. But if you want quick and fast loot. Summon the boss, people will show up and it just gets deleted.

I think the new system is a better template, base to build from, but as is right now, in game something about loot in early game i am just not as engaged with it, there is no reinforcing gear now, and i kind of miss that element. I still need to give it time, i am still in the finding it jarring and feeling lost with it so i am aware this will shift. But idk atm leveling i feel like i just want to find all these dam manuals so i can see my options.
So i am pretty much ignoring loot atm. Getting my first leg did feel better than previous and so far so they have kind of made a difference there. Which is a good thing, since they are better than rare not rare with powers.
Hopefully it gets some fine tunning at some point. Much like destiny 2 did when they reworked there loot.
Do you open all the chests in your NMD? I feel I get at least 2 rows of stuff to vendor after each one. I know it isn’t the insanity of the vaults where I would fill my inventory 2x in a single vault, but that was a bit over kill too.
Helltides I am only swimming in loot if i stay at the summoning boss area. 10mins and my inventory is full of legendaries.
Feels like a good start - now if they could add like 3-4 different variations to Helltides that would be awsome.
I agree NMD’s are in a weird place but the PIT and UBER BOSS runs are still great!

It was cool to make safes and walk around the open world following the heralds of Malphas and we needed to make the tide to collect forgotten souls. Now we only have hell tide and pit. I miss something, even more than 100 is super fast, the items are in place right, but we need more progression, preferably not power.
I am so sorry I ever bought D4 I should have stopped at D3. I should have waited and learned from everyone elses experience.

It’s ok just learn from this experience. I certainly did.
