is it even possible for them to nerf ur drops?? or even ur account for that matter from gold drops?

Clerihew · Jul 20, 2006, 06:09 AM // 06:09

I know that it is random but I totally sympathize with the OP. I usually get very poor drops in UW / tombs etc. when I play necro or monk and better drops when I play ranger. But ranger just isn't as fun.

The God of Drops hates necros! Grrrrrrrrrrr.......

Maria The Princess · Jul 20, 2006, 06:14 AM // 06:14

in most missions, my monk gets best drops then my ele and my ranger both put together. everytime i see its a gold (in chat message) its for me,

but UW loves my necro more then monks. im the one getting all the rares and purples AND i get the first ecto most of the time...so maby based on location?

/random

2 runs isn't a sufficent number to distinguish patterns.

Maybe not, but I've been playing for about a year now and the pattern of monks constantly getting good drops isn't hard to miss.

samifly · Jul 20, 2006, 09:02 AM // 09:02

Yeah. I would think monks would get the worse drops, since they tend to stay away from the fighting, and they dont really kill anyone unless if they arent smiting.

My drops are generally crappy whether I am on my monk or not. I rarely see a gold drop at all. When I do, they aren't very good. If there are good mods I can almost never get them to salvage. In 1120 hours of play I have only ever had 1 black dye drop. In the many ToPK runs I did I only ever had a total of 12 ectos drop most of which was for my Ranger not my Monk. I am scared to even try UW since it will mean the other person getting basically all of the decent drops. None of you people need to be talking to me about bad luck with drops. My luck is super crappy!

Felessan · Jul 20, 2006, 10:28 AM // 10:28

I have my monk from the beginning (beta testing) and get the worst drops ever.
I had in my monk career a total of 10 gold drops (that over a period of two years or more...lost track of time when I first started).
What I can honestly say blue drops are huge. almost never get white... or gold or purple.... oh well I learned to live with it

Liu · Jul 20, 2006, 10:47 AM // 10:47

Its just not strange, random is random (Yes, I have said this before). So, you could have 100 gold drops or zero, and there wouldn't be anything tstrange going on. Just crazy, insane luck.

NOTE---Do NOT mention this Psuedo-Random crap.

Raiin Maker · Jul 20, 2006, 11:58 AM // 11:58

The ammount of gold drops depend on how many you have had before, my mate is a necro, he get loads of golds, but does not farm.

Drops depend on how many you've had before and if you got one from that area before: thats why when you go to a place like Grenth Footprint for the first time your more likely to get a green.

My monk got the most drops, or at least always among the high end share of the drops, when I played her through missions. I was convinced at the time that drops were influenced by overall damage done or damage prevented during play. I still believe it to be a major factor, but its obviously not the only way its determined since an idler does get drops assigned to them as well.

I noticed that if your party is out of your map range, drops seem favor you. This is an experiment that tried with my guildies. I sat for 30 mins doing nothing as my party kills all the mobs in fow. After a while in afk, 4 shards dropped for me in a row, but this could just be amazing luck. Btw does your chart include all chest drops? cuz I've already done " The Deep" a few times already and have never gotten a gold from mobs before. Never in my gameplay do I ever get many gold drops just from kills

Nvwa Strider · Jul 20, 2006, 04:34 PM // 16:34

never saw so much golden drops for the entire team in the deep, even purples....
with great luck maybe 7 golden DROPS during the whole mission for the entire team.
5 Golden chests might help, thats allready 60 golds, but you need luck for that too.
I dont get much golds myself, but strangely i get a lot of greens and i mean a lot with my ranger.

I also think its based on activity. IF you heal, enchant, hex, take and deal dmg a lot its more likely that the drop will be yours. I have seen one guy taking all the golds in the mission while not even purples dropped for others.
Anyways, we can guess what we want, you wont find out until someone got the actual code.

The Great Al · Jul 20, 2006, 04:59 PM // 16:59

Whoever believes this guy has clearly never played the deep before. No one gets 15 golds in a run, and golds do not drop with a 33% probability.

Don Zardeone · Jul 20, 2006, 05:10 PM // 17:10

Get more results.

ducktape · Jul 20, 2006, 05:12 PM // 17:12

Or maybe the drop ratios are unbalanced in your party because some members have been to the deep more times than the others and are starting to trigger the anti-farm code. See here for a related discussion

This post has a basic explanation of your drop rates decreasing based on each subsequent visit to an area

you will NEVER get the farming code if you complete quests even if you play the same area 1000 times in a row. READ the actual pop-up box that everyone refers to as the "farming code".
Someone said earlier you might have triggered the farming code from another area and brought it to the Deep. This is also BS. If you get the farming code, it affects your drops in the CURRENT area you are in. Once again, read the pop-up message and stop crying "farming code" just because you didn't get gold drops on every mission/quest.
