Curse

Ok, now here's the deal. I was soloing Gates of Kryta and outside Bergen Hot Springs on hard and very nice items were droping (5+ golds, tons of purples and whites, lockpicks...) I used a standard Mo/D build, and i was doing 1-2 runs per day, nothing special. But now, only shit is droping to me. I do whole run (south side of Nebo Terrace + whole Cursed lands), and i dont get even a single gold item, or lockpick. Even purples and whites drop less, i was getting about 5K just for selling all that merchant food, but now i dont get more then 2K. And, i repeat, no golds. I repeated runs to be sure, and now i can confirm it: i am fuccked up! I don't know why is this happening. YES, i turned on Hard Mode. And NO, i didn't overfarmed, i did 1-2 runs per day. And YES i tryed many times, and i always end up with no gold items and reduced amount of other items. If you want i can do run and post shots, if u dont believe me. I just put this thread up so somebody can tell me wtf is going on, or is this happening to some1 else too...

... Loot Scaling ....

You are not cursed, ANET never really removed the farm code like they said they did. Get used to it though, ANET is always saying 1 thing, but doing another.

Yeah, im pretty sure they forgot to take out the anti-farm code or put in a weaker one.

ive seen gold drops drying up recently too. even tried doing duo runs around a few places today since that is supposed to net us better runs but not 1 gold drop in over an hour of farming various places, although i wasn't totally pissed cos i was testing builds

who knows what code they are sneaking into these recent small updates

I've been seeing something similar in the R/Rt margonite runs lately, the farm code seems to be alive and kicking

Mesmer in Need · May 13, 2007, 06:49 PM // 18:49

Ive realised this also. Im afraid anet is a big fat liar, and when they said "Repeated map entry no longer reduces loot." they didn't mean it.

Have you read what i said? Undead farming worked perfectly for me, say last week, but now is terrible. I asked around in Bergen, other people are still getting golds, like before. I dont.

As for all of you guys saying anit-farm code is alive, i repeat, i was doing this only 1-2 times per day, it isn't a big deal. Some random guy i talked to today in Bergen said he does about 5 runs/day and gets at multiple gold items per run.

They aren't lying, the drop rates stays the same no matter how much you farm. Also, there are many places with good drop rates, such as the Underworld, bosses, and colossal scimitar farming.

i guess ur just ... unlucky then

Covah · May 13, 2007, 08:53 PM // 20:53

They reduced the areas where lots of bots are. IE> Bergin.

rohara · May 13, 2007, 09:07 PM // 21:07

i'm pretty sure they removed the anti-farm code. i've been soloing bosses in HM like crazy trying to get tomes, and no matter how long i farm them...they keep dropping the goods.

Jcon · May 13, 2007, 09:09 PM // 21:09

try this, do the show of force lightbringer farm, or any other farm that u can do a party of 8 and still achieve what you wanted. After a few runs, your drops may reset. I've been doing this with my necro and the zehlunah farm, and when my drops dry up I go back and find about 5-8 good runs before they dry up again.

Elnai · May 13, 2007, 09:34 PM // 21:34

Repeated map entry no longer reduces loot. Maybe thats true, but perhaps its just like killing monster X reduces loot from monster X. Anet needs to straighten this out.

Turbobusa · May 13, 2007, 10:26 PM // 22:26

they just removed the text message, so its not totally a lie >_>
I've seen my drops reduced to crappy white items too

attackofthecold · May 14, 2007, 01:56 AM // 01:56

:'( Happened to me too... I got in late on the farming craze and i was getting atleast decent drops... (not as good as people where saying) Since then i've been getting worse and worse drops every run. Even now Gates of Kryta doesn't even give a gold each run. I've tryed just about everything to try and fix it and it never works. A-Net lied -.- i'am with Turbobusa in thinking they just removed the text message. Or changed the farming code to something else...

drakun01 · May 14, 2007, 01:59 AM // 01:59

I can't remember the last time Jade Brotherhood dropped a gold for me >.<
It definately wasn't 'removed' persay. I think it still exists in different form.

krypt1200 · May 14, 2007, 04:54 AM // 04:54

The farming code is definiteley still there. I quit for about a week after I started getting shitty drops. Logged on, OH America has favor during the morning, hopped in, 5 ectos in a 15 minute run.

ryanryanryan0310 · May 14, 2007, 06:10 AM // 06:10

I agree the code is still up and running. Was getting crap so I toke 3 days off. Farm for 1 hour today got about 25 gold and 7 dyes, farming different places. Sadly they were all crap but improved my wisdom title.

NEOgeo · May 14, 2007, 06:19 AM // 06:19

there is no farm code , repeated map entry or even kiling the same monster type doesnt reduce drops .. what does reduce drops in an area is thousands of ppl farming the same area, find a better farming spot imo
