EZ Server

I ve noticed since yesterday patch something annoying   :-\

The pop rate of chest, ornate chest and mini named (tarticus, thanatos and rat-man) as been lowered, i usually farm PoD 1 hour the morning before going to work and get 3 crystal and some chest, then i do it again when i come back from work, get some more crystal and start poping named at water or fire tiki, but since yesterday, i have to clear a ton of dragon to finally get at least 1 crystal ... and i didnt got too much chest too :/
(for example, this morning i played almost 2 hours, cleared all the way to water tiki, and after water tiki, the fire tiki to the beach, and runned to the barack and the waterfall and come back to fire entrance and came back to water tiki, and only got 2 crystal and 2 chest :/ usully with all those killing i would have got much more  ::) )

So is that was intented to work this way or its a bug after the patch  ???

Thanks for taking a look and have a nice day ;)

I've noticed the exact same thing. I have cleared pretty much the entire fire tiki side of non poisoning dragons and have gotten 1 chest.  I remember cause I got on a "I'm going to get one more chest beffore I go to bed" and I was killing well into repops before I got a second.

1 in 8, or 1 in 10 would be a great rate....but it seems really bad now.

Yep same here.

Ezry and myself were clearing almost all of t1 and noticed that minis and chest drop rates seemed to be very low. Then as soon as i mentioned it to Hunter i got 4 minis in 5 kills.

Sorry but I have to LoL at this one.  Jydyta and I were some of the first to farm pod t1 and iirc it took 50 kills to get our first chest.  You guys are spoiled now...

Ya ya and you had to walk to the nexus uphill both ways..we all get it.

You also got to enjoy points per kill in LDONs and some other nifty things that no longer exist.

But i digress.

Chest spawn rate hasn't changed at all. But, the augment combine components drops have been doubled.

Actually it was getting to PoK uphill both ways back then before SFG took over ;p

I'm bumping this again because I've just killed my way across PoD T1.  From the Zone around water tiki, through the big central cave, and out to the barracks past fire tiki.  Not 1 chest has popped for me.

I'm just moaning and complaining.  I know after I post this like 3 chests will pop in a row....thats what I'm hoping anyways.

Well after I posted I started keeping track:

65 Dragon mobs killed in T1
5 mini bosses spawned
5 plain chests spawned
0 ornate chests spawned

Now depending on how the code is written depends on rates.  But as it stands 7.5% per mini boss and chest events each separately. Or 15% chance of some type of spawn either mini or chest combined.

It sucks when your a ranger soloing lol.  Think out of the 2 hours, I got 3 useful aug components.

If anyone else wants to add to the count...we can get a greater sample size lol.
