Too low drop of stones... Why?

I have the feeling that the drop of gems is cut drastically with 136 release. Since the new patch there is no drop of ordinary and clear gems!!! Only gems with impurities and very rarely crushed gems! The ordinary gems are mirage!!!
Can anyone tell me why should I farm any more? Why should I play this game at all???

 

It's DSO, the most expensive free to play game ever. How dare you think you can farm gems, GASP, buy them like BP wants you to.

*that's sarcasm btw*

 

i agree with you!!!! lol. this hotfix for example. nothing of what they mention was done, but surely more drop cuts wasn't forgotten. LOL

 

Oh no, not another conspiracy theory thread!

Every time someone's luck takes a turn for the worse, they want to blame it on the developers changing the drop table. I don't know about you, but over the 2.5 years that I've played this game, I've had weeks where it seemed like I could do no wrong and things were dropping left and right... Then there are other times where it feels like I'm in a drought and dying of thirst. This game is governed by a Pseudo Random Number Generator. Sometimes you will feel lucky and other times you won't.

I'm very glad that the botters are gone for the most part, but they did serve one useful function. They reported their drops to a central server so it was very easy to track drop rates over a long period of time. I'll share a secret with you all... The drop rates didn't change noticeably (allowing for standard diviation) over the 6 month I was watching the Bot's drop rate site!

So, Stop complaining and get back to farming so that when your luck shifts, you're there to take advantage of it.

 

Agree 100%. With psuedo-randomness, we will still see high-and-low peaks and troughs. These are normal. The devs and programmers have better things to do than lower and raise the drop tables every time a new release comes out, people!

 

I check the drops for skew and normalcy on a regular basis. (Sometimes I spend 80 hours a week playing this game. It's a long story.) The coefficient of reliability indicates when something is not right, like a glitch in the program. There are some other indicators of a normal distribution, too. If it appears weird, i go to support, as requested.
When you see the same instance repeat over and over, you have to wonder if the program is glitched or defective. After all, a system error can trash a perfectly good program. With lag and disconnects clouding the game play, why is hard to call sometimes.
How's the battle against Disruption in Service going?

 

Guys I am not as well versed as many of you are in Drakensang gameplay but it would seem that the drop rate, as with most every thing else in this game, is on a curved scale similar to that of a sound wave, rising and lowering on a particular basis which is unknown to me and the regularity and cosistancy of that wave, could very well be on a curved scale in itself, ... but by playing for several hours at a time in a day, I find the drop rate and regularity on Frags, CoT's, as well as armor verses coppers, changes consistantly ... Now please realize that this is just my gameplay experience ... which may or may not be the same for you ... I also personally find that if you are not a level 45 "God" like player, who cant really get any stronger and reached max, and you are in an area that is above your level ... the drops are consistantly better no matter what you are farming ... If you aint dying... You aint trying! ..... Oh and Happy Halloween one and all!

 

With this patch, nothing has really been done, all type of drops are very limited, anderments gems weapon. All we can notice now, is that they want us to spend more and more money!

 

They have no idea what they're talking about. They just started playing a week ago so........

They drop rates really hasn't changed. Like they said, you have good days/luck and bad days and crappy luck. If you wanna play a game where you "win" every single time you do anything than this is NOT the game.

I can't even think of anything sarcastically to say about this

 

The casinos take use predictive models to take billions of dollars from people who believe in luck. They call it "entertainment," and regulators insure an appearance of legitimacy about the payout schedules. You're sure to be welcome there.
Of course, some people find being fleeced a form of entertainment, but most would think that perverted.
