Loot in multiplayer

[Ice Fox Kyo]

We have tried multiplayer with my friend a while ago and discovered that while I'm hosting I get gold and green loot normaly as in single game, but my friend keeps getting ONLY WHITE loot though we went far enough already. Have anyone faced the same problem? Can it be fixed somehow?

Survival bonus affects loot. Maybe that's the difference?

[Ice Fox Kyo]

What do you mean, please? As it seems odd that we went almost all the first act through and my friend got NO item except white ones at all.

What difficulty are you playing? What mode?

RNG is whacky in bronze and silver, unique and set items are VERY rare. Even rare items (yellows) are true to their name. This changes in gold difficulty with a good survival bonus.

Survival bonus is a metric that rises when you are in battle. The higher it is, the higher level enemies are scaled to. It affects loot drops, too, and it resets on death.

Also the Survival bonus effects better loot drop chance if it's higher and it only resets if you die and respawn (it can also give you a chance to survive if you hit 0 HP the higher it is). So if your friend tends to go down that could be effecting it as well.
