Stop buffing then nerfing the loot!

Trust me, the loot was nerfed, any idiot with a scintilla of a neuron can discern this

It was, plain and simple fact.

So plain. So simple. I ran a quick map while you were here losing your beans.

And, I don't know guy. I think we might be okay after all.

thats the problem though,

if you dont giga juice via 3-4 towers into a map, this isnt an outcome, your lucky if you use a T16 map with no tower juice, to get a Rare item from a RARE.

or an exalt.

you shoudlnt have to spend 3 hours maneuvering around maps, to line up towers into a farming spot.

they shouldnt buff loot around towers, towers should be the icing on the cake,

not the **im not running this map without towers**

its crap.

I've got a couple of those and I haven't noticed a change since 0.2.0g. They seem absolutely fine.

I legitimately think you guys are just paranoid.

Yeah dude, I absolutely do nothing of the sort and you can look at my post history for me telling others that they don't need to do it either -- I don't waste any time "maneuvering around maps" but I do complete towers when I can and no dude I'm not using good T16 Waystones on unmodified maps why tf would you ever do that?

You don't have to "giga juice" but you should definitely be doing towers when you can and saving your good Waystones for good nodes - that's just basic stuff.

Oh, and I ran another one since my last post. Not quite as juicy but still a perfectly reasonable outcome (~20ish exalts):

I do exactly what you do, been on T15’s for a bit now and haven’t seen a single divine.

I’m not saying you’re for sure BS’ing and just taking screen grabs of stuff you’re pulling out of your vault. But the experience you’re claiming to “prove” with a random ass screenshot sure as hell hasn’t been my experience.

Oh, you're not saying it but you sure are f'ing implying it aren't you? How very Fox News of you.

Here's my inventory next to the node I just completed. No "giga juicing" just a regular node between two regular towers on my way to nowhere in particular:



Here's the first ~1m50s of the map on video (including the divine drop):

For some reason the latest NVIDIA update has made it so my captures end when I ALT-TAB or I would have the rest for you. I'll keep posting as long as anyone needs help coming to terms with the difference between a little bit of bad luck and a conspiracy by GGG to stealthily nerf drops in order to... I don't know? Like guys they have your money already and I promise you they have better things to do with their time than try and tweak a few f'ing percentages on drops to squeeze a couple more nickels out of ya.

You guys are out of your collective minds sometimes. A "stealth nerf" for "obvious reasons" that "can't be trusted?"

Giantbomb#0840 が発言:

I'm not even going to begin to be gaslit that was the loot wasn't nerfed.

Good of you to get ahead of the absolutely natural reaction to your paranoid delusions.

GGG has done shit like that a milion times. [Removed by Support]

For the record, I’m not convinced they massively nerfed the loot, I wouldn’t be surprised if they made tweaks - i.e. decreasing quantity but increasing rarity in response to the feedback on large quantities of useless things dropping, and players noticed the change and interpreted it as a nerf.

I’m just pointing out you can’t trust random screenshots and clips people post online to try and win arguments. Pretty obvious stuff. No need to have a meltdown over it.

Usually the most trustworthy people are the ones that devolve to insults and name calling when called out.

It's not even a question. It's definately been nerfed.
Not by a lot...but its's less loot than it was.
Doesn't really bother me because it's still enough to be playable and enjoyable.

But....you guys saying they havn't reduced the loots since the buff...nah your just plain wrong.
It's actually very noticable if you were specced into strongboxes.

But...whatever - i'm still having fun.

Holy lord could you possibly give me a break with this self-righteous dog water? Like dude you are the one who very clearly and openly accused me of doctoring the screenshots I've posted in this thread. Like sorry I called you out for what you were doing and now you want to act all saintly like I'm the one being mean. Please don't pretend you weren't absolutely implying that I was doctoring screenshots and making up evidence because that's 100% what you were doing.

Here's my tree guy. Very much specced into strongboxes very much have not noticed what you claim to be very noticeable which maybe you're just very much noticing randomness and your brain is trying to make a pattern out of it as our brains tend to do?

I noticed that they seemed have nerfed it about 15 hours ago.

There was a sharp and noticable drop off in loot between the morning and evening sessions. (I'm time zone GMT +2)

I was running the same character in the same map area. Same juice level on a set of nodes and running Rare-d waystones and getting no EX drops like before and only Augments and the odd regal.

Lots of crappy Rare items which are just shard fodder in the evening.
In comparison before the rares that did drop had Tier 7 and 8 mods on them and triple resistance armour items.

A Noticeable and considerable drop in item rarity.
