Pretty Sure Ritual Got stealth Nerfed on or around Monday or GGG Bugged it.

TLDR: I'm convinced GGG either bugged ritual or stealth nerfed it on Monday.



I rushed all the ritual nodes ~60 points to get them and another ~10 to block the other content, so done by the time I hit t11(red) maps. By early Monday morning, ~5am est, I finished my atlas. In the time time from league start to atlas completion I got ~10 div worth of raw currency out of ritual (definitely very lucky). Specifically though in this time period I was consistently getting ~40 ritual splinter stacks, and about an equal number of ~15 ritual splinter stacks.

After sleeping most of the day Monday then getting back on to start to actually farm ritual (goal was 40% deli t16s with 100+ quant). I immediately found ritual to be MUCH less rewarding. For the first 30 maps I chalked it up to bad luck. Then something dawned on me, and I started paying very close attention for the next ~50 maps. I had not seen one singular stack of ritual splinters bigger than 14 splinters. I reroll the max amount every map. Every map I get minimum 9k tribute. I've earned MAYBE 1 divine worth of raw currency.

I have an extensive map pool I'm putting together to run this weekend and actually put some hard numbers down and record what I get. But so far the only explanations that seem plausible for the lack of splinters is that GGG either stealth nerfed Ritual or bugged ritual with a different change.

Have any of you noticed anything similar with Ritual? Are you still getting 40+ stacks of splinters?

Spiders are not bugs.
Got a raw divine and plenty of splinter stacks in the 30-50 range today.

every league mechanic that makes it onto the map device to be purchased for a few chaos gets the hammer, maybe they just forgot to do it initially

That's good to hear, makes me hopeful that I am in just a near impossibly long bad luck streak.

How much tribute are you getting? Was it a 1 off ritual in a map or are you specc'd in the tree?

its just tinfoil hat i been doing ritual since day 2 fully speced and i gotten only 2 divines out of ritual and im level 97 so nothing has changed rng is rng
Ritual has been pretty nice to me actually. And I only have Sacred Lands and Occult devotion allocated (basically, I use it as more meat for Delirium and the rewards it gives are a bonus).

I don't think so. Do you have any proof of that or are you just trash talking?
It's my ritual to start with fully speccing into ritual every league. And every league I'm like "I shoulda known better"
