Started having an odd problem yesterday. Nearly all items I encounter have Tier 1 affixes. I am currently level 80 and have been progressing through the monolith. I ran about 50 monolith runs yesterday & today and every item’s affixes were tier 1. If I get a rare with 4 affixes, they’ll all be tier 1.
Prior to yesterday I was receiving what seems to be normal rolls. Every once in a while I would get a purple drop. But generally there was a wide variety of tiers on items. That doesn’t seem possible for me any more.
This also includes items in the shop or acquired through the gambler. I don’t think I’ve seen anything but tier 1 through the shop or gambler in a couple of days.
Needless to say this is making my character hard to progress.
Same bug as I reported a few days ago. Certainly seems to be some bug in the code. Since there hasn’t been more reports, it might be character specific issue and not happening to everyone. Hopefully getting fixed soon .
@SirYodi Whew, glad to hear it’s not just me. I thought I was imagining things. I asked in global chat and everyone just said it’s RNG… And it’s really odd, since it’s like 90-95% of the time. Everything will be Tier 1 and then a random affix will be Tier 5.
And I 100% agree with you, the game feels pretty pointless when you run into this issue. I guess it’s time to try a new character.
Just had this happen on stream on a SSF low 60s VK. It affects all drops and vendors, including the gambler. Here is what it looks like when you have it:
Note: It only seems to affect lower level characters, and ends around level 70 or so. My level 100 Paladin is unaffected by it.
same bug to me .
Playing with lvl 95 FG on monolith area 80, played 3 echos, all had T1 drops and only T1-T6 drops on reward chest.
i include my logs Player.log (34.7 KB)
It seems a different problem, but maybe related.
My case is the opposite, char lvl 92, loot in lvl 80 timeline, all drops T1, loot in lvl 55 timeline being T1-T5
Did some more testing. The Stolen Lance (62) timeline drops the tier 1s only, but Fall of the Outcasts (55), and Blood, Frost, and Death (75) appear normal. I tested vendor after an echo on each and it seemed unaffected, still almost only tier 1s, plus the reward chest was all tier 1s regardless of timeline.
Hi everyone! Sorry to hear you’re having this problem. We haven’t encountered this issue internally, so we’re going to need to collect more information to work on resolving this.
If you’re having this issue, does it persist after restarting the game? Is it limited to certain characters? Certain timelines? Please post your log file after it happens.
Additionally, please add your Saves folder (in the same location as the log file) to a .zip, along with the name of the character(s) having the issue, and attach it here or send it to me directly through forum messages.
Having access to a character that is experiencing the issue should make it much faster for us to determine what’s causing it. Thanks!
In my case, mage, char name Antonio, lvl 92, only char played since this (I levelled from 91 to 92 during this test).
Playing echos 1 to 6 timeline lvl 80, all items inside the echos (monsters and chests) dropped with only T1 affixes, the final chest between timelines with normal drops tiers 1-5. Relogging didn’t make any difference.
After patch 0.7.9.e, same char, timeline 80, next echo (7th) same results, even dropped one T6 in final chest.
Changing to timeline 55 played only one echo (I think it was 2nd), all drops ok, final chest also.
Returning to timeline 80 without relogging, 8th echo same bug as before, inside echo all drops T1, final chest T1-T5. Player.zip (5.7 KB) Player-prev.zip (3.8 KB) Saves.zip (64.4 KB)
As I don’t have played since then, I upload last saves and player logs. Hope it helps.
Character is level 68 Spellblade, Sir_Yodi. Been having the problem for about 8 levels now, although the loot has improved over time. Tested quickly before posting this running level 62 timeline, where the problem has been the worst and it should still be the case. In later timelines problem is less severe and in level 55 timeline it is non-existent. Player.log (27.1 KB) Saves.zip (57.5 KB)
P.S. Currently leveling a new character to see if it works better, but haven’t reached monolith yet.
Save folder and two log files inside.
I have not played a lot but 2 for 2.
Character Mirageron, level 75 sorcerer.
Monolith Ending The Storm Area level 80(scaled)…
Last night, only tier 1 affixes in the instance itself. Reward chest outside seemed fine.
Today, the same on my first instance after installing new patch.
Computer has been shut down (or in the state they pretend are shut down these days) and the game patched in between.
I noticed it last night, I am quite sure that was the first time ever. It was not the firsts tries at that monolith ever.
Did one more with same result after zipping the data.
Went back to The Black Sun (level 68) and all seemed fine in my single instance.
Went back to Fall of the Outcasts (level 55) and it was also fine.
.
And it’s really odd, since it’s like 90-95% of the time. Everything will be Tier 1 and then a random affix will be Tier 5.
. Nice work.
