What happened to the loot

[Stone Sausage]

I've been playing this game since day of release and all the way up until the update I would find 1-3 rare loot for every 1-3 rare enemies I defeated. Since I created a DoTH character I haven't seen a single rare item and only once every handful of main bosses do I get a magic drop. No vendors in the game sell rare loot either, and only a few items in shops are magic. I went back to playing on the default league and now all of my original characters are facing the same problem. This is a bit frustrating because all orb drops have stopped for me in Dawn of The Hunt, I slogged all the way to Vaal and have only received one orb of transmutation which I have been saving for a worthy weapon and previously relied heavily on crafting my items. My witch on default mode has +40% rare loot found from gear I've had equipped since before this problem occurred and it appears to have no effect now. I can't seem to find any threads on this issue and am wondering if this is just the worst streak of bad fortune ever or if this is a known issue.

Game is still fun but its getting increasingly harder to progress through the game.

same, currently lvl 55 ive seen about 6 exalts (1 every 10 levels) cant even bother to "craft" because its not worth it and i just dont have any currency!

i just use my currency on trade to get better gear which somehow everybody else is finding except me!

GGG is looking into it. Drop rate is significantly reduced in campaign somehow. It's a pain in the ahh

Thank goodness, I was starting to feel like I was imagining things for a minute there.

yeah got to act 3 with 3 exalt on act 6 now with 10.....

It is for real. I just finished Utzaal straight through to Black Chambers on cruel to get to end game.....INCLUDING killing Doryani I got 6 yellow drops. FOUR in all of Utzaal which is a huge zone. I killed two tough yellow mobs back to back and no yellow drops. Utzaal is a huge zone and it netted me 4 yellow drops. That is terrible.

My rarity increase is 91% not nuts but not terrible either.

edit (it is actually 93)

END of A2, 7 rares, 0 uniques, have absolutely no defence against A2 boss. Is this ruthless from PoE 1??? My gear is just blue **** FROM VENDORS.

From 0.1.0 to BS.

Opening chest after chest of white items, or empty. Vases are always empty. Rares drop whites... after such a massive nerf to builds and talents, having the drop rates so bad as well is just exhausting.

Tencent is working on an in-game store so you can buy currency, rare gear and uniques.

It was a bug that players can able to loot and collect items. That was unintended... -_-

Some people have really good RNG while others have dog crap. So it makes some people fly through the campaign while others like me and the OP have a real hard time with it. by the time at the end of Act 2 i had 2 unique's that didn't increase player power one bit so they don't count and a full set of really low quality rares that didn't add much damage to my build.

0.1 was pretty decent as you could kind of keep up with decent gear with a mix of drops and buying from the vendor. Now in 0.2 there is a lot less stuff to sell as well which in turn is hard to swap around a build as well due to the limited amount of money or buy from the vendor / gamble (why is there a respect cost, that is stupid).

I could call this a joke, but it feels like a correct answer.

Patch definitely didn't help. Running low Tier maps now and have rarity at 103% and drops just are not coming. I ran 5 characters to 90+ int he old league and didn't have a single character above 100% rarity until my Warbringer was 96 and only then ebcause I used that shield that made sockets like +700% which has been nerfed.

Despite having far lower rarity on those characters all of them it felt better than this.

[BEEP!]

Yea I'm actually stuck in ACT final boss because I straight up can't find upgrades I'm lvl35 now and I'm still using gar from lvl15-20, even going back farming previous bosses for a solid 5hrs and still nothing better than what I currently got even crafting isn't helping.
