About 12 hours ago I killed Remorhaz as a GWF and got a BOP TR dagger.
Is this a bug? Should I have gotten the GWF class weapon? Has anyone else obtained an item from that event they cant use that is BOP? Did it happen after the patch last night or before it?
The first day 4-6 people in my guild all got class appropriate purple BOP items from Remorhaz.
Since the last patch a bunch have been getting items that are not for their class, and again BOP.
It would be one thing if they were BOE and you could sell them. But if we are going to have to deal with a BOP loot table with items we cant use while trying to get our gloves/weapon, the grind is going to be really bad.
It's actually intended. Why? because they devs want players to only be able to get the Icewind Dale items if they are able to visit Icewind Dale. That way players can't receive the items if they don't have the requirements to visit there. Keeping the area it's self still viable.
BoE and BoA would cause characters, even fresh 60s, who haven't got to Icewind dale yet, to be able to get the items there without even visiting it.
If you receive an item for a different class, it's salvage or sell.

Killed these epics plenty of times but I can't manage to beat RNG to get above uncommon drops (few rares with ice cores and whatnot but no epics after 20+ kills).

I'd have a suspicion that sooner or later, there will be a 'Loot Ward' to ensure you get appropriate loot from an encounter. Now for just 3000 Zen! $Cha-ching$!
If I may add always try and be apart of the epic encounters from the beginning or asap. This usually nets me a good drop of a rare enchant at least or crafting mat. But then again the rng in this game can be a little lop sided.

**** happens. Only violet item I ever dropped in Remorhaz was... worth 3k Raw AD and nothing else. Guess it's better than nothing, but really annoying. There are other things way more important than this small issue though.
Strange I have dropped 3 epic items from Remo not for my class, a dagger for TR, a bow for HR, and a main hand for a DC, the first two were bound to char I believe, the third one for the Cleric was bind on equip. I gave the it to a cleric friend of mine and he equipped it fine. Funny thing is they were all of the same weapons group and why the first two were bound but the third one wasn't makes no sense to me.

Elk Noble items are BoP and Hammerstone items are BoE.

BoE or BoAccount would be my request. I guess it's cool you be a few thousand RAD, but I would prefer BoE/BoA

That would be preferred IMO, but my best guess is they really want to make you work for your item. So you don't get it on your first few tries or so.
