I have run at least a hundred T16s and have never seen a T17 drop, what could cause this?

Hey, returning player, is this normal??

I do not have Singular Focus.
I have all four voidstones.
I have a level 97 and 98 character.
I have run at least 150 or more T16 maps. It should far exceed this, but I haven't been counting.
My atlas is full of "Upgrade Map Tier" nodes.
I currently have 104 T16 maps sitting in my stash after spending a whole day running at least as many.
I am using NeverSink's uber strict filter.
I am able to sustain t15/16 maps with no problems.
I get currency and gold drops.

Here is my character, and I am using my Atlas Tree 2:

Could I have some kind of bot flag? This should be practically impossible shouldn't it?

Here is my atlas tree. https://imgur.com/a/f9rLvhv

I am going to get a fresh copy of NeverSink's filter and use a less strict version.

I have no clue what else to try.

Buy any T17 and drop it on the floor in a map, just to make sure its not the filter. If it doesnt show up as loot, you know its the filter any either change it manually or adjust strictness.


My initial thought was that your filter likely outdated and doesnt even know T17s exist.

It's a good suggestion. I bought a citadel map, loaded the copy of NeverSink's Uber Strict item filter I have been using for the last week or so, and dropped it on the ground. The Citadel map does appear, suggesting that my filter is not the problem.

Just to make sure:

The screenshot shows you are in a party. Is that a buddy of yours you are running maps with? And if so, are you using his mapdevice (which means his atlas as well) or yours?

I just traded with that person. I am playing solo and using my own map device.

Hmm k.

Thats all I got. I guess you´ve been really unlucky then

that is really odd. i have terrible drop rates with things but even i dropped at least 20+ of those maps. could be a bug, nobodys rng is that bad

Must be a bug, I got like 4 of them in the last 20 minutes.

Is there any chance you have the voidstones socketed in the wrong slot? They are supposed to be socketed in the middle of the atlas and not to the side.

Reason I‘m asking is because you are mentioning being able to sustaing „T15/T16“, when T15s should not drop very regular with all 4 stones allocated.

If thats not the thing it heavily depends on the numbers of T16s you have dropped that are eligible for upgrades. For example at 120 maps its give or take 1/3000 to get that unlucky, which is in the realm of possibility. At 1/200 we are moving into „unluckiest player in the league“-territory.
