Strange. The very next hourly after my comment made me face 10 monsters!
However during the past 24 hours I only had to face 5 of them!??

That's why I made my post.

I always play the hourly in 'Nintendo' level as the higher levels are still deadly for me. However the equipment drops vrey rarely exceeds the average level. Is that normal? Do I have to play in BT or IWTBH mode to get higher quality drops?

No, but I think there's something wrong with the quality equation.

I think this patch nerfed the quality bonus as I began to got av in IWBTH clear bonus which didnt exist in 0.6.7

not sure about the drop chance, but I am pretty sure the bazaar prices are much worse than before (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

the quality bonus is seriously broken

but I like the monster naming rule, I really don't like to fight monsters with meaningless name

If an equipment piece doesn't get a certain PAB, it does not count towards the quality rating at all.

I was considering adding a relative penalty for every stat it doesn't get, but then people would bitch and whine about getting fewer "high-quality" items.

So there is a separate roll for PABs, it seems.

Sucks. Now you can get a legendary cotton with no PABs!!! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Rolling a Exquisite should have one sure PAB
Magnificent 2 and legendary 3.

Sucks to get a legendary and then have no PABs on it (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

most of the equipment drops im getting has no PABs (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) so i dump it into the bazaar for little credit :'(

- The system no longer allows typographically similar numerical substitutions on names of existing monsters (that is, o=0 and i=1=l)
-- Existing monsters that took advantage of this need to set a new name.

I notice that Oyz [MID=26577] and 0yz [MID=29261] (both giants) are still active monsters.

I also have noticed that a little over half my equipment drops have had less than 2 PABs (probably poor luck).

Because most of my equipment drops are from completing hourlies and turning in trophies, I have seen a drop in average credit income (I'm usually in CrysFest).

FSM on IWBTH:
Arena Clear Bonus: Superior Cotton Shoes of the Fire-eater
Noodly Appendage: Fine Estoc of Slaughter - FINE...and no PAB.

Are you fuckin' kidding me? [attachembed=14617]

That's not poor luck, it's a common thing now.

I feel really good for saving all those chaos tokens

Alright, here's something that might be good:

All equipment drops with the same PABs they originally dropped with. Depending on the quality, they may get additional PABs on top of those.

Just a basic rundown: Every piece of equipment generally drops with one or two PABs depending on the quality (I've once gotten a crude axe with only STR, so yeah). The higher the quality, the greater the chance at getting more random PABs. The maximum possible would be all six PABs on the same equipment. That would also be incredibly rare of course; on par with Legendary equipment. Speaking of Legendary, they would also have the greatest chance of having those. Magnificent and Legendary are guaranteed to get 1 and 2 additional PABs, respectively.

I dunno, this idea needs tweaking of course, but it's something I randomly came up with.

but I like the monster naming rule

Unlock a slot, select a Class, raise it to PL25, find out that the name you wanted is already taken, and then see how you like the "naming rule". (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

And you didn't expect to be screwed over like that? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Seems melees can go forever now thanks to focus. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

At least on normal. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Yeah, on lower difficulties focus is a big help now. So that's good at least.

The drops suck now though.

Nope. It returns measly mana, honestly.

Not worth 25% OC.

Eh, better than nothing. I cast Regen II while spirit stance is up and turn it off right after, stun whatever's left on the field and recover it. It helps a lot.
