Dread Ring Dungeon Rewards

OK has something changed with the Dread Ring dungeons? I pick the dungeon to get the Greater mark I need, finish the dungeon, open the chest which says it has the treasure trove inside and for the second time I don't get one. I really needed that mark, so am I doing something wrong here or is this just crippling bug number #646,942,601?

    It's not a bug; they removed the greater marks from the end chest. I can't cite a source off the top of my head, but this was known on Preview before Mod 6 came out.

    If you choose the "Coffer of Celestial Artifact Equipment" for 11 Celestial coins, you have a pretty good chance of getting the epic marks. They will be random of the 3 types and account-bound. Otherwise, you can buy them off the AH from people who saved them up from DR pre-Mod 6.

    Actually you still can. I've gotten several post Mod 6 from the Dread Ring Lairs. The difference is that in Mod 5 the greater marks were a guaranteed drop (assuming you were looting on the correct day). Nowadays it's only a CHANCE to drop the greater marks. You might get a blue mark or a lesser mark instead. When Sargent Knox gives you the quest, inspect the rewards before accepting. The treasure trove should tell you what it will drop and when.

    Instead of greater marks, you now have a chance for lesser, normal or greater.

    Yeah, I should have said they removed guaranteed marks.

    Also, in case if you don't notice, you no longer get epic gear, not even rare, from the boss chest. It is a piece of green trash now.

    Yeah, I'm sad that most the campaign gear is gone as well. I really liked the variety of visual appearances we had for equipment. I'm hoping they bring them back later as new lvl 70 gear or at least as transmutation items.

    Cool looking gear transmutes will probably show up again in future lockboxes.

    That's the catchphrase. Variety of other stuff, too.

    Sure, most DCs ran HiProfit, most CWs HiWeasel, and most TRs Swash or Prof. But most also morphed their stuff. It also had made sense to have alternate gear for that special tête-à-tête with the boss, or Tia-têtes-à-tête... ...now some prefarm oldie still in etrnal is a delightful counterpoint to the uniform.

    And that you can't even get the old stuff for morphing makes this even worse, yup.

    Another thing successfully destroyed with this Mod.

    I can't fathom why they would remove the guaranteed marks. It's caused the prices to skyrocket and folks with a poor relationship with the RNG such as I will get the green garbage 99 times out of a 100 and have to buy these things for inflated prices from those the RNG has taken a shine to. The fact that liar Knox still says you get the greater is just an extra slap to the face.

    So much of this Mod feels like Cryptic had what they wanted and were ready to release it on time, and then the PWE bean counters stepped in with all sorts of dirty tricks to extend grinds (like the drop quests you have to kill 50 mob groups to get 5 items) and frustrate players in that chase of the almighty dollar, euro, yen, bhat, dinar, what have you. Seems they are out to strangle the golden goose to get that one last egg out of it.
