Has loot really been fixed?

So far i had 2 divines drop which i spent right away so i am ready for maps. nothing valuable dropped since. This is the poorest i have been for many leagues now. also the lake is terrible, i get better loot from yellow maps.

is this some strategy from GGG to get players to play more? its not gonna work in my case. i will probably just quit the league early.

Based on the patch notes; no, loot has not been fixed. It's still quite off, and especially poorly balanced amongst the various subsystems.

From what we've seen, it's unclear whether it's a result of some sort of stratagem, or if it's just some people stubbornly unwilling to admit they were wrong, and doubling down on some decisions they made.

My campaign run as an inquisitor had more currency drops, but not enough to warrant a "fixed" measure on the currency. There's still a considerably less amount of currency.

Some areas are very densely packed with yellow monsters (cathedral rooftop), while others only had maybe a handful in the entire area.

Beyond is irreparably butchered, and so is the corrupted currency. Harvest is still mostly trash crafting that should be mostly early to mid game. The campaign lakes clearly had almost no drops.

The lake essence monsters are like fighting the incredible hulk. Even difficulty 2 essence monsters have more health than kitava did. I'm an inquisitor, so I know it wasn't resistance. It was brute, raw, life and regen.

I played YESTERDAY.

Unless you are playing juiced up maps in 6 man groups with dedicated magic find gear, your loot hasn't changed at all in the core game. Problem is that last league mechanic, Sentinel, gave so much more currency than Lake of Kalandra.

My bet is on bigger things actually that they are not prepared to talk about so instead we are left with an incomplete semi broken system till it happens which could be next league or even later for all we know.

Currency drops are fixed for alch and go. Crafting is still in the dumpster and gear quality is being carried hard by AN fractured drops. With the current state of Beyond I don’t think we’ll ever see the old levels of return in super juiced maps. Can’t say that bothers me at all though.

This is not accurate. The loot changes affect everyone not just juiced up 6 man groups or dedicated MF.

I run a couple of maps today and it seems that the monsters drop more or less the same low value items as before. But bosses only drop rare objects, nothing else. Not even a scroll or an orb of alteration. I would appreciate if they drop some currency.
