I did three runs (3x zerg -party, 3x succes) and only first run got Tier3 Hoard Reclaim... so patch did some fixing BUT patch cant FIX low server population.
I hope groups are allowed to enter Tiamat and graphical glitches will be fixed...
Oh, for those who cry that Tiamat is too "eazy", make "Legendary Tiamat" with all doupled but same timelimit and same droprates for items, hardcore guys needs challenge and feed their pride, :rolleyes: .
Like I had said, they needed to lower it by a factor of 20, there is just no purpose to level 3 and 4 the way it is now and it's only going to get worse as fewer and fewer people do Tiamat.

I assume people were saving up for when this patch was coming, then emptying all their stuff the first day and now we're back to 8% x-)
The patch did improve the situation a lot. The problem is everyone enters the WoD just for tiamat's encounter and linu, noone cares to farm some coins and coffers (I honestly just sell those on AH). What do you expect? 5-10 players donating 100 coins + couple of coffers enough to beat 5th tier? Nope.

Tiamat's Hoard more accurately adjusts to recent server population for contribution percentages required.
Population is not the problem, number of players contributing is
They need to change it from server population to population of players in Well of Dragons. Possibly some kind of count based on around the time Tiamat resets (:25-:30 of the hr) til Tiamat's doors reopen (:00 of the hr).
Server population will included Bots not doing any meaningful content, which would be a unfair hit to the player base. And why should players in Sharandar, Dread Ring, Icewind Dale, etc. effect the player's attempting to do Tiamat.
Could at least make it only count players that have received the quest from the Harper to enter Well of Dragons.

I belive that's how they did. Basing it on the SERVER population online would be just insane
This basically. I still get R3 and higher reclaimations when I go in. Of course it all depends on peak hours. During off-hours you can't expect to get a R4. What do you expect? That if there's only 20 people on the map and every one donates 1 coffer you'll get a R4? That's ridiculous. It should take some effort to get that high.
Im not expecting constant r4, but more than what i usually see which is 5-10% and not even unlocking rank 1. maybe its the time zone... which do u say are the peak hours? im usually playing around 6-8 pm and maybe 1-3 am in eu time zone....
Another reason why people prefer to sell coffers and don't bother with coins is very little chance of success. There are so many bugs, that even if you donated enough to reach tier 4, and even if you got good and geared teammates, you would likely lose because of head not showing bug, clerics phase stuck bug and no rewards bug. I personally won't grind any coins and coffers until everything's working fine.

My favorite is the "X number of players leave because it's not a zerg group, another X treat it like a zerg anyways, so you fail, pretty much guaranteeing you won't see the decent drops anyways." :-p

Yes, people had tons of coins from endless TOD grind, and used most of them on the first day.

If they want it every hour the number needs to drop considerably.
