Drop rate in game

fede

In the last month I am getting in Master Demo Gold and Castle never all blue ring +1 most of time. I am starting to not buy more legendary key, for my its is very sad expend 20 minutes to form a party in Master demo Gold and 40 minutes doing CN and get blue rings.

My concerns is if I am the one with bad lucky of it is happening to you. Thanks

The RNG and drop rates in this game are... shockingly horrible.

For now, there exists an alleged BUG that lets you decline chest contents after previewing it (press decline), saving your key. This BUG is the only thing that makes Legendary Dragon Keys usable, because the drop rates are so bad that you would be losing value on every key otherwise.

They recently announced that they were fixing this BUG without adjusting the drop rates, which resulted in a huge outcry from the community. After a long a clumsy silence (during which some poor community moderators attempted to defend the change, resulting in even more vitriol) they backed away from the changes and said that they would only fix this BUG in tandem with a revitalized drop system.

So for now, the drop rates suck and you can continue using the BUG to get some semblance of value from your keys. They have made it clear that even though it is a BUG they do not consider using this an exploit (so you are safe to do so with no fear of repercussions). Once they revitalize the drop system, hopefully everything will be unicorns and sunshine.

The drop rates are impossible. I run the same instances every day for months and still haven't gotten 1 haarl's book, not 1 artifact, not 1 +5 ring. Basically you have to grind every thing to death until you can just buy the stuff.

We are inundated with that stupid book, we have started stockpiling them in our guild bank. As far as getting any good drops, in all of the mDemo's I've run I've gotten one +5 ring... a ring of ambush... on my healadin... and I don't pvp on any of my characters.

Frankly I just play. Don't read too much into it, don't think, don't wish. You want something bad then be prepared to pay hefty bad to play with the drop rate % which they set. It's close to non existent is what I would say and you would have to pay a morbid amount to get close to what is decent and still you don't own a thing on their servers.

The drop rates are an extreme turn off. The content is getting stale. It's something to do to pass time. Spend a fortune to play with random? No thanks I'll pass.

I was lucky getting one of the +5 rings I need for my DC. That was pure luck and my worst PoM run of all time on my GF.
