Have you seen any drop since they increased it ?

5 times 0 still makes 0, even if you use Shades's Math.


I've lost count of the Shrouds I've run since they "increased" the drop rate (at least 15 spread out among 5 characters). The ONLY dopants I've seen anyone get are the people who got them on 20th end rewards.

I'm sure the devs get a good chuckle out of the big joke they pulled on the "powergamers" (which apparently means "anyone who's at least one Greensteel item" to Turbine) - "You want GS deconstruction? Fine - you've got it now. Oh, by the way, you need an incredibly rare item to do it with too. HAW-HAW! SUCK - ERRRR!!!"

Don’t forget the load of shit “significantly increased drop rate” for boot ingredients!

You guys! You are being to hard on them. If they make the changes we are talking about then the game would be super successful. No one wants that.

I'm sure Vargouille is disgusted by what the marketdroids did with GS Deconstruct.
The point is that the Dev that worked on it seemed to be really keen for us to have Yellow Dopants easy to get.

But things like that ends up to marketing and sales department, where the marketdroids saw a mik cow in the making and just went for it... and basically disgusted all the people that were really interested in it.
If for the price of 1 actual dopant they would have sold a stack of 10 I would have spent TP on them. As it is no way I'm going to waste 400 TP for dopants.

What drop rate ?

Anyway it all boil down to the fact that the drop rate for commendation is abysmal, they are bound to character, the raid is retarded, and a few more reasons not to run it.
So basically the change they make is to give incentive to run it as their statistics show people have stopped running it a few weeks after it appeared. ( good luck, with all the stupid things in that raid, the lack of interesting loot [ especially for Clerics ] and the ressource drain that clusterfuck is you'll have to make huge changes to it before people run it regularly en masse )

You know!  The “dramatically increased” drop rate they introduced in Update 3!

I'm loving Borderlands 2!  Big Daddy and I are running a playthrough together, he on an assassin and me on a siren, and we are having so much fun!

Ah, I was still in Europe then... with months long Risia games ( well 3 month long ), Months long Festivuult ( 2 month usually ), Month Long traveller ( 4 month ), and Modules that were updates ( minus the F2P part ) packaged in bunch of two. ( so Module whatever was Update 1 and 2, module whatever +1 was update 2 and 4, module whatever +2 was update 5 and 6 )

So I wasn't following the US forums at that time.
