I opened about 30 large chests this afternoon, and saw nothing useful at all.

 

The only difference I noticed is less level 1-7 weapons, but most of the loot was between level 8-15.

 

I've opened about 700,000 gold worth of chest. Is 8-15 the target area for loot for that many chest opened?

 

It doesn't seem to be very improved at all yet.

 

The only uniques I saw was a level 9 sunless staff, and a level 10 Audacity aoe dagger.

 

I was really hoping for a better improvement than what I've seen so far.

 

I'll give it another 100 large chest before I make my final decision on whether the loot system is still crap or not, but for now it still seems awful.

This was the first improvement of many to come for the loot system.

 

Some quick comparative numbers for you:

 

Your odds of getting an item level 15+ was roughly 1:9. It is now 1:5

Your odds of getting an item level 1-8 was roughly 1:2. it is now 1:40

Your odds to get a Sulevin Blade before was roughly 1:12000. It is now 1:10000

 

In the coming weeks I'll be working on shifting some of the items around to different rarities, hopefully updating it once a week very slightly. We've also got a lot more uses for the raw resources as well now (with more coming!).

Like I said, I'll go in to much more detail on Tuesday during the stream but this was just the first step and modifying the loot progression as a whole. The quick and dirty of what went in today is that there are three 'tiers' for equipment and I have smoothed out the curve for which tier you'll be likely to pull from depending on how far along the 'item progression' you are.

 

I should also mention thats the odds to get a SPECIFIC Unique. Your odds to get any tier 3 unique weapon are about 1:174 (up from 1:277). Your odds of any unique are obviously higher.

 

Using the Sullevin Blade example, here is how the system breaks down what you got (in the most non-technical way possible):

 

1) You get an item

2) You have a chance for it to be tier 1, 2 or 3

3) IF you rolled tier 3 you have a chance for it to be a Tier-3 item of either armor, weapon, accessory, upgrade, or a rune for the tier you rolled

4) IF you rolled a weapon you now have a chance for it to be normal, rare or unique

5) IF you rolled unique you now have a chance for it to be a 1h weapon, 2h weapon, bow ...etc.

6) IF you rolled 2h weapon you now have a chance for it to be a Sullevin Blade.

 

So basically #2 has been drastically improved. Next will probably be #3 and 4 relative to your item score.

 

You're welcome to wait until the next drop of improvements before spending gold BUT I will say that on top of my plans to add a bunch more rare and unique items in to the tiers I also might pull some out

Can the dice roll for superb runes be adjusted so we are not constantly seeing purples in chest only to see another rune?

It sure can!
I can't recall the exact split between each item type but how would everyone rank their needs for high end items?

For example:
40% weapons
40% accessories
10% armor upgrades
5% runes
5% armors

Hoping they up the inventory space. I haven't run out yet, but I salvage junk fairly quickly.

Not coming on Tuesday but I'm going to look in to what's required to change this number.

I think you should be banned.

This user will be getting raider greatswords for the rest of the week! *fist shake*

Odds of getting 4 Caliban's at 400k gold earned, around 334 chests?

 

Ya know, just for laughs.

Depends if you bought some with Platinum as that would increase your equipment level. I can tell you the number would be difficulty to read and seem like an error. And just in case you thought I was serious about the Raider swords. If I had that power my account would have 4 Calibans too!
