Currency Nerfs
|
I think this is definitely for real in Bestiary, but I'm not sure about Standard - could they have nerfed the drop table as part of adding nets to it?
Either way, it's obnoxious. |

" since patch i have ran about 100-120 guardian maps only, in that time i have dropped about 70 red maps and about 30-35 guardian maps *atlas 157/157 no sextants but harbinger mod on every one Currency is less than normal- no exalts, 1 divine, 1 annul, maps are less than normal, unique item drops remained the same (versus 3.1) there have also been more maps dropped from the boss of each zone than ever before - about every 3rd or 4th boss will drop a red map. Edit: maps i am running are uncorrupted versus in abyss they were all corrupted- most likely map drop #'s are similar and most likely not nerfed I got a fever and the only prescription, is more cowbell!

yea I got the feeling that instead of currency we get those net drops. I hit level 90 and I was checking my currency and I noticed that my non trading currency (like gcp, sextants, blessed orbs, vaal orbs, chisels) was basically non existent. (e.g. I have 1 white sextant and 1 yellow sextant dropped so far, wtf?)
But instead I got 400 strong steel nets and 70 traumatical nets... Running 5 spider forests feels like running 1 shaped vault from last league. So its either the missing biscos (which I cant believe tbh) or currency drops got gutted for nets. |

" It's not Biscos, I never use it and felt the change massively. The Bestiary "BUFF" of having 1 rare monster less per RARE item craft which is completely useless, shows that GGG are trying to heavily cut down the currency and amount of items that are brought in the game. It's a complete no brainer to buff legendary mobs as an example, I haven't seen anyone who would be against that idea but that's not what GGG wants. This last patch and GGG being completely silent on currency nerfs basically confirmed that things are going to be shit at least until the majority has left.

These were my drops from 48 Shaped Dunes (T12), all maps chiseled/alched and always with one sextant active. 94% atlas bonus. Usually the sextant mod was extra mobs. Currency does feel nerfed imo, even though I got an exalt, first one this league, took me until level 92. Map drops seem fine though imo.

That seems way worse than I was getting last league just doing alch and go.

" 12 chaos and 33 alchs LOL this is enough proof, he even did several breaches wich only gives nets btw...... |

OMG Sourtimer im done with this league........

" The best part about this is that if he uses all his currency that he picked up, he can't even run the maps again and has to sell currency to buy alchs / chisels. Keep in mind that these were also 16 Master sextants, which means that if he exchanges ALL his currency INCLUDING the lucky exalt. Considering all costs of mapping covered, he has gained nothing / got a deficit. As I've said, GGG has nerfed the currencies 100% and didn't put it in the patch notes, hoping that people won't notice it and won't get angry because of it. I've mapped too much to not notice a difference. It's literally 2x worse than before. Also a lot of people don't notice the difference because they know the "Bad RNG" argument and feeling or are just too used to map mindlessly and just use the currency once needed, not putting focus on what they're gaining while mapping.

We still had people 2 weeks ago being happy about the changes to biscos, sextants and breach. Where are those people now, are you happy with being poor? Others saw that you need to be flipping or bossing when you want to make some decent coins. And for mapping quantity got even more important.
