I'm a patient man but this is getting ridiculous

I am now 1 for 30 on chest drops for T2 gear. The capper was the T1 glove choice I just got from SP. Has the drop rate been nerfed? I don't mind running them but c'mon throw a dog a bone now and again.

Doesn't matter the dungeon, they all seem to hate me. Took 12 runs to get the Karru drop and havent seen anything since. Getting kinda old.

    yer it took me quite a few runs to get decent loot choices

    what about greed runs? are you a cw because theres usually 2 x in group so your chances on need are down to 50%...

    Trying to gear up my GWF, but haven't seen a boss drop a set piece yet either for any class. I do run with another GWF on occassion but he is geared and would decline if it dropped.

    Yeah, I'm pretty sick of this myself. I can understand why campaign would take so long b/c your boon gains and expanding dungeon/gear options are a big increase. Going from T1 to T2 isn't a major increase from what I'm seeing. I'm an HR andonly have half of the T1 gear, then I still have to pick up T2 gear... and then I want dread legion weapon set... it seems like I'll be at this for some time.

    Yeah the RNG really gets on my nerves in this case too, I have plenty of toons and they all need this gear. I just end up buying it when the prices get low (relatively) because my luck getting T2 armor to pop from these chests is just ridiculous. I've ran each of the dungeons more times than I could hope to count (I'll just estimate) and I've gotten T2 from TOS 3 times (probably out of 50 runs or so), T2 from Karru twice (out of at least 80 runs), T2 from FH once (out of at least 60 runs) and from SP 0 times (out of at least 90 runs).

    Unfortunately for me the helm is always the most expensive piece and I have little doubt I'll end up buying it eventually after getting nothing but more **** RAD from the next 10 SP runs I do...


    So yeah, at least you aren't 0-90 for the helms (any of my characters that has one, I had to buy).

    Don't even mention T2 set. I don't even see T1 set dropping in chests. Been farming SP and ToS for the longest time, but no luck thus far. Funny though i got my HV parts from Karru and FH with only 1 try each. Must have used up all my luck there.

    And thus far, I haven't seen any T2 parts dropping from boss. Not the HV at least.

    Thats pretty much how I feel, When the BoP went live I got all 4 pieces of my HV set in 5 runs, had to run FH twice and I became a big fan of the change. Not so much anymore though.

    I have a guildy who heard a theory that if you all ready have the item then the % chance goes up, He ended up buying the boots on the AH but not equipping them, sure enough his next run he got the boots. When I run my guys that are geared through the dungeon to help guildies I too seem to have much better luck at getting T2 options. It just seems to be the guy I am trying to gear up that has no luck.

    Guess I'm one of the few that pug'd it and skipped t1 sets. >_>

    Only thing I need are shirt and pants and thats a loong ways off from crafting.

    I'm actually half way on a second set of t2 gear..

    Went for forest lord first, now I have the royal set half way there.

    Seems more like plain ol' RNG to me. Not some hookey you gotta have X on you and Y in the inventory and then you gotta dance the tango while quacking like a duck to get it to drop...

    Nope. Was doing ToS, got T2 armor piece three times in a row.

    RNG is a *****. I ran like 20 T2 without a hint of a set piece. Then, blam, 3 of them dropped in 4 runs. Random is random (and if completely unchecked, a bad idea).

    It's just random.... Once I ran with my guil mate 35 times to get his avatar helm from the chest (we split and sell boe drops)

    Then in my hr I got my full royal guard set in 7 runs... 1 tos, 1 sp, 2fh, 3 karru...

    It's just luck. Keep at it. It will happen.

    Oh yeah, you're the guy I added from the Karrundax runs yesterday?

    That RNG does suck, especially since I received all of the items from the run lol.

    Felt kinda like a HAMSTER afterwards. Regardless, sorry about your luck.

    I know I sound like a broken record already, but they really need to expand what the unicorn and drake seal vendors have to offer - so as to make repeated runnings of the dungeons worthwhile, even if the RNG god hates you...

    I did 17 karrundex runs (getting T1 trash on the first 16) before getting my gloves. I do think they need some sort of failsafe on drops. If you haven't gotten it in 10 runs it should be guaranteed on the 11th or at least keep upping the chances with each failure till you get it.

    Finally got my helm from SP yesterday. Keep chipping at it guys.

    Now I only have ToS left to run.

    Sigh

    exactly not sure why the drake seal items are what they are.

    seals are BOP, you should just be able to buy the T1 (unicorn) or T2 (drake) items you want from the vendor using seals. just like MC and VT.
