Yip something is def up with drop rate at the moment.
I think they messed it up, Im sure they'll just hot fix it without ever mentioning it to any of the players.

I also don't get why they bothered adding legendary weapons with horse shit stats, I know they said they would fix the stats..but I've already dropped 2 lvl60 and they were hard to get...so they worth nothing xD Only the legendary drops after the fix will have decent stats...apparently...

My suspicion is that detaching the AH from the Drop-rate tanked the in game economy. Worst part for me personally was have most of my gear boost Gold Find and not getting anything higher than 200 gold drop every once in a while, while Spooner who has all of 2 items with minor gold find boost gets drops of 300 on a regular basis.

I think the problem is damage control, they are responding to what people are complaining about too quickly without proper internal testing and in so doing changes that where meant to fix things, like the Drop rate, have now been fucked up. For this I blame Blizzard for caving to pressure and releasing the game early & the quadrillions of people who moaned about the game until it got released and are now moaning because some of it is broken in so doing forcing the devs to make drastic changes to what is a very finely balanced system.

I have 146% MF gear that's on me constantly, so I don't have to bother swapping out..and it used to be good until the latest patch. It feels like its a wasted stat..Nothing decent drops anymore..Im farming Inferno Act 4, drops were awesome...

Also the pricing on our AH is fucking crazy...The American and Asian servers the prices are much more reasonable...Not quite sure what to think about that..

If I had to sell my DH gear now, I could ask 15m for it and I'll easily get it on the EU server, heck I reckon I'll get offered more for it, where as in the stated I would be lucky if I got 5m for it.

AH prices on the EU server are INSANE! people are asking 900K+ for a Radiant Star emerald! lets not start on Orange items those are a different story altogether.

They must hate me then lol
I was so pissed off, 5 stack NV, lotsa MF gear and I got no decent drops last night
Maybe they adjust every players looting xD So say if you get good drops for 2 days they'll make sure you get shit drops for the 2 days after that xD lol

Yip I have found some bargains on there..but its mostly these unholy numbers... 200 000 000 for a lvl60 ring with 12% IAS and 25% crit dmg...I lmao because I have one of those and it dropped from an easy mob lol

Yet people will purchase the items, so I guess it makes a good gold sink then...

That's the thing about random drops and the AH though. You can get the best item in the game from anybody in Act I inferno come 1.0.3. Or you can farm forever and just get crap.

Considering how useless the Blacksmith is, the AH will get my gold.

 

[Murph]

I'm also getting heavy lag at night - second night in a row.
It goes away eventually, but it comes back. Hungry for moar.

Yeah my lag was very bad at 4-5PM yesterday, but last night around 9-10 it was much better.

At lower lvl's yeah but on inferno with it lvl'd to exalted you can make some simply amazing gear.
I've made 2 Gloves, I can't remember stats but they were pretty awesome, 1 sold for well over a million and I am using the other one Will check stats on it tonight. Also considering it only cost me 50k + mats to make a glove, I'd say that's a pretty good return.

Yeah but having something you pump a fuck load of gold into at low level but only gives a usable return at max level is stupid & screams of shitty balance.

I agree with this. I blew 30k gold on training my blacksmith yesterday, just to find out the new items he could create for me were shittier than the ones I already had.

Right now, the blacksmith simply isn't worth the gold investment, especially since gold trickles in so slowly.

So besides waisting gold you got to waist more making the idiot make 10 of the same item in a hope to get him to make something reasonable.

 

[Weasley]

That why they are making Jewel and black smith cheaper in next patch

That pisses me off. There should be a hidden modified based on your character that ensure items that are crafted or Dropped have at least 1 class relevant skill. Im not asking that everything that drops be perfect for my Char but fucking hell getting a Mighty belt with +45 to Dex & +50 to Int for a character that doesn't use either is retarded. I know its part of the random magic slot machine but its still stupid.

How is 900k an insane price for a Radiant Star? Have you worked out the cost in actually making that thing?

 

[Avatar]

Yeah, the gem prices for radiant squares have gone from ~8500 right before commodities closed to ~3000 last night; normal squares went from ~5000 to ~1500, so it's a massive drop. I've seen insane prices, but not so much on the commodities.

dex gives dodge and int gives resistance ... how is that retarded?
