Legendary Drop Rates aren’t just a single digit that is bumped.

Some players may think that there is just a single percentage that we are stoically refusing to nudge. That’s not the case.

Consider this for example:

When someone says that “drop rates suck”, what do they mean? YOU know what that may mean for you personally, but does your opinion overlap with everyone else? With a majority? With a minority? With X percentage? With Reddit?

Here’s a list of things that “drop rates are bad” could mean, and bear in mind that every single answer would have a different improvement method:

Does it mean players are not getting enough drops overall?

Does it mean players are not getting enough drops in a certain location/expedition?

Does it mean players are not getting enough drops at CT15?

Does it mean players are not getting enough drops at CT14/13/12… etc.?

Does it mean players are not getting enough drops in story mode or playing in campaign?

Does it mean players are not getting enough drops in quests?

Does it mean players are getting enough drops but not the items they want?

Does it mean players are getting too much Armour? Too few Weapons? Or vice versa?

Does it mean players are getting enough drops but not the item they want in the location they’re farming?

Does it mean players are getting the same item over and over again (Cannonball for example)?

Does it mean players can’t seem to find one particular item?

And is that one single item universally difficult to find or for the reporting player in question?

Does it mean they’re encountering droughts every now and again or that the drop rate is always bad?

I’ve seen arguments for pretty much every single one of these individual questions and many players have very specific opinions on each of them.

In this very thread you have /u/Vohsbergh saying that CT15 drop rates aren’t good enough.

You also have /u/Duncanavfc saying that drop rates are fine, but what drops is not.

In other threads you have players saying that Legendary drops like candy for them on CT15.

In still other threads, the Cannonball set has become a meme because of it’s high drop rate compared to other items.

Some (perhaps many?) of these complaints can be alleviated with a better understanding of the system.

Other complaints may well require a drop rate buff, but before we get to that, we’d want to understand which systems are okay (with a proper understanding thereof) versus which ones in general need reworking.

We’re also aware of requests/suggestions for Tiago to rotate his shop and how that could help alleviate some of these problems. However this, much like other great suggestions for QOL improvements (such as Transmog), would require a lot of design (and reviewing of the overall drop design) and coding to implement. I’m not saying it’s impossible, but it’s not something that can be done at the drop of the hat at this point in time.

Just to wrap it up:

Many players can be unhappy with “the drop rate” as this monolithic idea.

But why they’re unhappy can be down to a multitude of issues. And a multitude of issues require bespoke tweaks.

  1. I have over 200 hours in this game…The game knows what I have in my inventory, I should not get duplicates while I'm missing other pieces. Example, i had 2 Robes of the Lava Lich in my inventory, and I got 2 more in one run…it was a a complete waste. There should be targeted runs, and legendary drops should be increased. I agree that CT15 gold should be guaranteed Legendary. This is not a pay to win game! We should not have to grind for Hundreds of hours to complete builds. If this was a MMORPG, I could see the rates being low.

  2. Let me ask a simple question? If we spent money purchasing a game then what does it matter what the definition means? Just make it better! Assign certain gear sets and weapons to certain expeditions. Split them up and just make their weight the same! Why do they treat us like we are trying to break a game we purchased? What happened to just listening to what the customers are saying? Why dissect it? When I am dissecting a persons conversation usually I am buying time because I don’t want to deal with it.

  3. Dude the drops for legendary is ridiculous I should have to be grinding this much to make the build I want for a game I spent on, I can’t make a single complete build for any of the classes yo these guys are really ticking me off and they keep trying to buy time it’s irritating. How on earth y’all even get torrential chest piece as example is beyond me.

  4. When you gold on an expedition, only the first 4 items are effected for legendary drops? I think a targeted system for farming would be awesome! Great video sir, cheers!

  5. Well I'm not here to slander but I dam sure will criticize. I can't rob a bank and expect not to go to jail. So they can't put out a broken product and expect people to be happy. If I sell u shit, I can't get mad if u throw it in my face. Fixes and patches are half ass done and take way to long. Hell most of the time things are not fixed. The community is simply throw shit back. Don't put it out if you can't take. That's just MY OPINION 😏

  6. One thing that I have experienced is that sometimes in expeditions I have seen my teammates get 1-2 legendries while I get 0. What would be nice is a trade system amongst teammates at the end of an expedition run. I mean the game is PvE, its not like we are competing against each other in a PvP system. It would be a good way to utilize the duplicates that we get. Also, a rotation on legendries in the shops would be great as well. Even if were just once a month would give you a chance to purchase the pieces you're looking for.
