With cross play and episode 21 coming out last Friday (US), and the census updated yesterday, it seemed like a good time to checkout what items are currently equipped - no-one appears to be moaning about drop rates So what's going on..... Notes: * Data are from the census as of ~12:00 GMT (10th Feb 2016). * Data are dependent on a character logging off with the items equipped. * Data are from US & EU. * Census identifies items are either "rare" or "epic", thus vendor 138 items are classed as epic - 140 are drops. * Only subscribing/legendary members can access episode 21. The numbers: Code: Quality Rare Epic Epic Item 136 138 140 Chest 6688 4378 3658 14724 Back 6829 3778 3389 13996 Waist 7088 2425 3381 12894 Legs 7311 2474 3621 13406 27916 13055 14049
I think they finally nailed the drop rate. Things are not dropping like crazy but also not scarce enough like to make people mad. Elite runs seem to be giving at least 1 elite piece by run most of the time, making the run worth it, as opposed to those 3 to 4 green loot runs we had before. Idk if intentional but i like it, not too over the top and it allows you to gear up both roles at a decent speed, which makes modding worth it again (as opposed to getting your piece only days before you needed to replace it )
I have gotten several runs with 3 rare drops in one run and have gone several streaks of 9 bosses without a drop. Both seem on par with expectations.
