did the drop rate change?

[Doreiku]

i made a new char and noticed that there's less drops from mobs and most chests dont drop gold or loot

[Schnarchnase]

Yes, drop rates are ridicolously low in the early stages. It made leveling worse than ever before.
And new players had been complaining about how unenjoyable it already was...

yes its horrible now, im done with the season unless it changes. Back to poe while i wait for LE's update on April 2.

Consumable potion drops were removed, this is largely why it feels like a lot less is dropping and why sometimes chests are empty. They actually increased unique drop rates by 8%, gearing isn't any more difficult than last season.

They should probably replace the missing "potion drop" roll with more gold or something so you never have an empty chest, but otherwise it's fine.

absolute BS, all you have to do is play for a few hours to feel how low the drop rates are. Go look at the AH , normal Satanics are going for millions, how is anyone going to able ot gear up to do H4 and H5? and if i remember they said uniques going up for bosses and lowered for regular mobs. I hope this is a bug or there will be a mass exodus soon enough.

Idk how you guys are playing but i had half the stash tab of satanics (trash mostly, but still) and enough runes for a few runewords when reached hell1. Maybe try killing more mobs on the way to hell. Chest drops seem to be lacking though, maybe it's just because of lag no idea.

"Nerfed the gold dropped by treasure goblins when killed.
Nerfed gold drop amounts from monsters.
Nerfed drop amount of Legions from 6 to 5, drop amount of ancients from 4 to 3."

These are straight from the patch notes for season 6, they 100% nerfed the drop rates no matter what people tell you.

I did play for a few hours, and I needed to buy the new uniques storage tab to store the ridiculous amount of satanics I've been picking up. People listing things for millions doesn't mean they are selling for that.

This is from the patch notes:
"- Added a 8% increased probability to drop unique items"

Anyone telling you they nerfed drops is making stuff up. You probably just had a run of bad luck, or aren't killing enough enemies.
