Chaotic Gear

[stmty9]

This may not be a bug, but I have killed 40+ mobs that drop the chaotic gauntlets and boots patterns since the patch, and have not received any pattern drops. I have tried in guk, city of mist & Karnor castle. I think they all have a 50% chance to drop the items, so if it takes about 8-10 or so, I consider that bad luck, but with the amount of mobs I have killed, I am not sure what else to consider.

Let me know if this is legit, or if I am crazy.

Thanks.

Can confirm that it is still dropping with 50% chance.

I've killed another 20+ mobs with 0 drops. Do they drop less frequently if you out-level the content? My guys are lv 58 (100% AA xp right now). Are the drops rates lower with certain players or anything? I mean this is getting ridiculous. I've killed quite a few Sentry of Sathir and callers of Sathir. Not sure what to do if I spend this many hours getting lousy gloves. I haven't killed as many that drop boots since they seem to have more PHs than glove mobs.

We will take a look to make sure it's working right, but they are for sure set to 50% in the database.

I am going to have my buddy come see if he can get some drops. I will also keep trying to see if a restart may have fixed a glitch or something. I don't like to pester you guys, but I also don't like working on 11 50% drops for 4 days and no results

UPDATE:
Just killed another 10-15 mobs that drop gloves (same ones as before, though I have tried some in guk previously) and still no drops.

This morning I killed mobs in Guk and Karnor's that should drop Rusty Chaotic Boots and Gauntlets, and got no drops. I did get other Chaotic drops from other mobs, just not the boots or gauntlets.

I remember from doing Chaotic for my 6 characters, gauntlets were so frequent that I had to let several pairs rot because I already had them. This was before the recent patch.

For what it's worth, I've also been camping a few mobs in Sebilis that should have a ~25% drop rate for a few items I'd like for my guys, and they're just not dropping. I've killed Brogg at least 15-20 times and he's only dropped one of his 50% items once, and the other 0 times. Commander and Pickler refuse to drop the weapons they supposedly carry, after a similar number of kills.

Either we're getting EXTREMELY unlucky with the RNG, or there is a problem with some loot tables.

I think V got most of them. Found a few lingering at 0.5% drop chance. Fixed now, but won't take effect until the mobs respawn once.

Fixed boot drop rate on:
Hangnail (karnor) to 50%

Fixed gauntlet drop rate on:
Froglok Yun Priest (lguk) to 50%

They are all 50% or higher chance now.

Excellent. Thank you for the reply. We will test as soon as we can (today or tomorrow) in Karnor's as well as the mobs mentioned in Seb.

I was in Karnor's Castle killing the following:

http://www.thehiddenforest.org/webtools/items.php?id=2651 gloves
sentry of Sathir (12+)
caller of Sathir (6+)

http://www.thehiddenforest.org/webtools/items.php?id=2657 boots
Hangnail (3+)
skeletal scryer (4+)

Still no drops. Does the server maybe need to be restarted? Are all 4 of these accurate in the tables, or just the ones you mentioned?

I'm still seeing lower-than-expected drops as well. Was in Guk for 2 hours killing the mobs for chaotic armor. 3 bracers dropped, 3 helms dropped, still 0 gauntlets and 0 boots.

In Sebilis, these items are still not dropping despite killing their mobs multiple times: http://www.thehiddenforest.org/webtools/items.php?id=2884, http://www.thehiddenforest.org/webtools/items.php?id=2886

In each case, the "other" 50% drop rate item (according to Alla clone) has dropped. If my 2 hours this afternoon was the first time I had camped these guys, I would think it was just bad luck. But I'm not so sure, when you factor in the other 6-8 hours that I've camped them since the patch.
