AD change and Boss drops

in General Discussion (PC)
Has anyone else noticed that in ECC and ETOS the bosses don't drop anything anymore. i run both of those 6 or more times a day on multiple characters. in every case i get AD but never anything else. In ECC he used to drop something, every once in awhile but now its nothing but some AD.

maybe i'm just unlucky but i thought i'd ask here and see if anyone has gotten anything other than the 3K AD drop. and, after you get the 2 drops the boss drops nothing. so i'm seeing this as a net drop in total AD. since previously i could at least salvage the drop if i didn't need it.

    I havent had a drop from any of the end bosses either t1 or t2 since the AD switch.

    Dont know if that is just really bad rng or not (but ive run about 20 since the switch)

    I have a feeling that they messed up really bad on the drops, since a few patches ago. I used to get purple and blue stones from the dragon runs in WoD, now its all greens.

    after 2 reg TOS runs this am got nothing but seals on drops not any AD at all and the others in group did not get any ad either so Dungeons are bugged right now that's 4 runs 2 days no ad at all just seals of lion and seals of pegesus and level 50 to 61 blue items on all boss drops

    This is just completely random. I had a run yesterday with 2 purple 2 blue and 1 green. I've also had runs with no stones at all.

    If the Boss is killed outside the boss room no ad drops
    There are more than BIS players in this game
    RIP Real Tiamat, RIP Real Demogorgon RIP real Temple of the spider. Why remove non bis content to give to bis players ????
    FORCING the majority of your player base to play 4 mod old dungeons and trial will have a bad result on player base
    Changes are getting so bad i would rather prefer no new changes (RIP ICE FISHING in winter fest)

    I did get Chest piece from eCC right after patch but it is possible that they mess with the drop rates

    Did you check the log? The reason is the AD drop is not obvious. You need to walk around the corpse of the boss and pick up AD in various size of chunks (more than 20 chunks if you check the log). As far as I know, nothing shows on the screen that you pick up AD.

    There is a pop-up in the lower right corner indicating you have picked up AD (so long as you haven't rearranged that UI element). It's the same indicator location where other items added to your inventory are displayed. But... there is no visual element on the ground, other than the boss corpse. Going forward, Cryptic should add a visual object near/at the boss corpse, like all other loot and seals have...

    the AD's automatically get added to your raw ad's in your bag. I note what I have at the beginning of the run and then at the end.

    It's RNG. I've seen drops off multiple end bosses in various dungeons.

    P.S. They definitely nerfed J-boots though.
