Toxic drop rates

128+ runs of dural in the last 5 days and not a single unique. Worse part is I’m back on a work site with limited internet.

I’m curious to know why and what stupidly obnoxious mind frame the devs were in when they made the drop rates for Uber Uniques so low that they literally do not fkn exist.

Why do you have to waste so much time chasing items that theoretically should have dropped after 100 kills? This is absolutely beyond a joke and most people would agree that NOTHING should be that hard to obtain in any game.

All that this creates is hatred towards an otherwise good game. Some of us want to make our favourite classes as strong as possible, perfect even, but get burnt out trying to do so and even lose satisfaction once we get said items after them being so stupidly hard to get.

This is not Warcraft. Sort this insanity out and please increase the drop rates on the Uber uniques.

All I want is a damn Doombringer

Highly doubt that you never got a single unique in 100 runs. You might not have gotten the desired one. That’s some other story.

I’m not kidding when I said not a single Uber unique.

Normal uniques yes, Uber. Not a single sight of one

So like Hunter’s Acclaim Board? A loot bag with a random Uber after every 100 Duriel kills? That may not be a bad idea.

ARPGs are about grinding for items with small odds to drop. It is theorized that Uber Unique drop rate on Duriel is ~2%. You went 1XX without a drop which sucks but in a macro sense that is unheard of. For instance, I got my first uber unique in my first 30 runs or so (Shako) which is well under that theorized 2% rate

In an ARPG I want hard to chase items. Not the original uber unique drop rate (lottery level) but current 2% on Duriel would seem to hit the spot to me as a D2 player. I know I can get the items but I also know it good be a long grind.

Im skeptical of OP
Ive done maybe 80 duriel runs?
Ive got:
-Doombringer
-Visage
-selig
All normal uniques

it’s rng m8 so there is allway’s the surprize element and on a personal note i like it this way then it’s verry rewarding when and if something drops.

it’s not because you had bad luck that it doesn’t exist.
it’s already , in my opinion , a bit too common now.

People often say they got dozen of Uber unique, in my opinion it shouldn’t be a thing, being able to get dozen of ubers so quickly just goes to show how too common they are while they are supposed to be the rarest of them all.
but that’s my take.

Well the first sentence states unique, so it wasn’t clear if you mean Uber or any unique. Half of the folks reading this would skip all the remaining text when the first sentence sounds silly.

Last part of your post states Uber uniques, so it’s either you mean Uber uniques in the first sentence or you mean this on top of what you were complaining about the generic uniques

Can someone explain to me why their initial comment: “This season, you’ll know someone that got an Uber” turned into “guaranteed ubers in X runs” in people’s minds??

I’ve done at least that many I have yet to see a single uber

Easily said when you have a drop lmfao

Is that better or worse than “my specific ip was preselected by the low quality rng generator as the proper initial conditions” trophy?

Its diablo game with RNG. We dont need a repeat of D3 participation throphies. The drop rates fine it is as now they are uncommon unique of uber D.

I got 3 in 60 runs, my other frend got 3 in 3 consecutive runs and my other about a dozen in 250 runs.

Keep at it, may the RNG gods be in your favor.

You have a participation trophy, congrats lol. 3 out of 60 is giving you ubers for existing, relative to what others are dealing with.

Ppl get so salty on the own entitlement beliefs. Tho I do believe a lot of it has to do with D3. It wasnt an aarpg but turned into an ok arcade game. They could have replaced loot with class meta tier powers and removed loot all together.

It was carzy to play something that just spoon fed you.

Next season i might have bad luck and thats ok.

The true issue is the capability provided by ubers should be in the class toolkit. The ability to push a spec to the limit should not be only available through the trash that is the duriel farming loop. If ubers are to be used anyway, let them drop with the same chance from any activity.

I hate overland and questing. The game is boring enough in lvl 90-100 nm dungeons. As it stands, i dont even log in anymore because theres no chance that i can see anything that might make me use my brain.
