T2 Dungeon Keeps Dropping T1 during event for chest

edited August 2013 in General Discussion (PC)
So I ran Spellplague during the event several times this weekend in the hopes of actually getting what it says on the description out of the chest in the end - a "T2 head piece" like maybe the Miracle Healer's Helm. But instead all i got was T1 <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>, and not even head peices.

what is the drop rate suppose to be for T2 during the event for chest?

And Shame on you Cryptic for making me run dungeons all weekend for absolutely nothing. I could just spend $10-20 bucks on Zen to get my remaining pieces, but htat would defeat the purpose. I want to earn them in the dungeons, but at this rate, it doesnt seem like its ever gonna happen. I think im just about ready to move on from this game cause of <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> like this.

    Aren't they planning to change the chest loot system in the next major patch?

    This might help resolve the issues you mentioned.

    Read this post, especially the bit about the DD chest. Then tell me you won't get what you want.

    I'm not so sure, honestly. If the game determines randomly, ahead of time, which three sets you'll get to choose from -- T1 or T2 -- then you may find yourself still picking from three different T1 items when you get to your T2 chest. If, on the other hand, the T1s-dropping-in-T2-chests thing is unintended right now, then dinohedron's post doesn't explicitly assure us that the bug will be fixed either.

    Here's the relevant quote:

    We’ve changed how the special chest from the Dungeon Delves event rewards gear. Previously when the chest rewarded you with a piece of Tier gear for a particular slot it would randomly be one of three sets, each with a different stat allocation and play style focus. Now when the chest rewards you with a piece of Tier gear you will be able to pick which of the three sets you want! The chance of getting a particular slot remains unchanged so it will be much quicker (and less up to the whim of the RNG) for you to complete the specific set you are looking for!

    The bolded statement doesn't appear to be true of T2 chests now, so I have no firm basis to assume that it'll be true after the patch. As far as I can tell, current T2 chests offer you one piece from six different tier sets (three tier 1, and three tier 2), or they offer you random jewelry.

    In any case, under the current system, you could wait for hell to freeze over before you assemble a full set through boss/chest drops alone. Under the new system, it looks like the process will be significantly faster, but I'm not sure it'll be anywhere near as fast as people on the forum appear to believe.

    You have to admit that it will make getting what you want much quicker more than likely.

    ill believe it when i see it... I bet they will still be handing out T1 <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> 90% of the time, and just giving u a choice of which of the three T1 peices of <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> do u want. But at least when it finally does pop T2 loot, i will have a better chance of gettng the set piece i want.

    Yes, sorry. Please see my edit (the developer quote got cut off the first time I posted, along with everything I wrote underneath). Given how often I get random (and usually <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>) jewelry, I'm not sure how much faster the new patch will make useful-loot acquisition. Notice dinohedron's phrasing, actually: "Previously when the chest rewarded you with a piece of Tier gear ..."

    It looks like jewelry filler ain't going away. I can count on two fingers the number of times I received tier gear at all from a DD chest. On both occasions, IIRC, I got a T1 piece in a T2 dungeon.
