I decided to take a dive and burnt through 1200 shards getting my 2 Vecna sets. Was happy as it only took me a week or so of casual solo play.
Even happier now since in the past months of running that chain l have not seen a single item of mine drop.
On top of that only the odd Aug and odd named item, but usually Zippo!
What become disturbing is that l chose to reroll every chest when l was farming and got my items in decent time and effort. Since that time, and with no rerolls other than the occasional time when in a group and higher reaper, little to no drops
I regularly run Shan/ cogs, IOD, Salt, R/L and Vecna.
None of the others have this issue.
I remember when there were a lot of complaints about Sharn but no matter if an item l have drops, there are always other things dropping here and there, enough that you don’t feel like you getting force to pay for every little thing in this game.
Funny story, got my first rare weapon from Vecna just yesterday. Turned out to be a LS which would be my weapon of choice right now. Unfortunately Useless because no set bonus with it, and my Dino LS’s are much better still.
They could do so much better with just a little more thought into player enjoyment
I should also add that this wouldn’t be an issue if they came out and said they were dropping the rate from 33% + 1% per reaper level to 8-10%.
Simply put, when the game mechanics doesn’t match or come close to the advertised rates, it’s going to leave a poor taste in the players mouth and not so Fun game play time
