Ambush is wrecked

Who cares? Ambush is already the most enjoyable league they've ever made. If bots can find them normal players can as well. Look how cheap maps are. I'm thrilled with the change.

lol, you can get to maps easier, but nothing drops anyways, so what difference does it make

the strongboxes wont ever happen anyways.

only to the super ridiculously lucky. im 100% sure their drop rate/spawnrate/chancerate is already lower than that of a kaoms to begin with

just common enough that 1 or 2 people a week will post a screenshot of 1 on reddit.

Stuff does drop believe it or not. You just need a good build that can speedclear maps. You don't need much MF either, clearspeed is more valuable.

Just yesterday got my 2nd windripper.

congrats, you got insanely ridiculously lucky

now realize that in order for you to be in this position,

dozens of other people go weeks with nothing, at all, of value dropping more than maybe 1ex.

get it?

Perhaps, but I got an eternal out of a random blue arcanist box this weekend. That is 1 more eternal than I have gotten in 1500 hours of farming content. Love them boxes. (Got a montreguls week 2 from singularity mod in 77 shrine as well.)

i've probably opened in the range of 200 arcanist boxes

highest i have gotten was a regal orb

and i always roll them to at least +additional items.

I've had my string of badluck. I've also had my string of mediocre luck.. as long as you clear fast you will get drops(especially in ambush).

I also got an exa from the previous map yesterday and 5+ more over some weeks(3 from arcanist). This is all with a 0 MF, 0 quantity build(I ditched my 300/50 MF summoner since it cleared slower).

Clearing fast is very rewarding. I tend to do lower maps for fun so that helps a lot. Doing maps in 5 minutes guarantees you'll hit some goodluck.

nope. nothing drops. i'm a walking talking counter-example to your claim that items drop. they do not drop. nothing drops.

i clear just fine. i'm two levels higher than you in ambush. my gems didn't even ding 20 the first time until i was halfway past 91, that's how efficient/fast i was (very few deaths as well).

edit: i whirlblade everywhere and i kill packs very quickly. shrug. i'm fast enough.

That shows me that you have cleared far less than me. Like I said I enjoy doing low maps for the huge clearspeed(I don't value leveling as much). At level 90 my gems are 19 after I reset them to level 1(for 20 quality).

I don't really know how to respond to your claim though. Did you really get no uniques/rares worth 1 exa in all this time? Like I said, I've had my string of badluck and mediocre luck but I find that's enough. 10 chaos items are still quite good to sell, you don't need big ticket items.

max 2ex.

is game with fucking shit drops. needs less variance, more evenly spread out drop distribution vs monsters killed.

it fucking enrages me that i can kill so much shit and get so little.

or it could just mean yoou die a hell of a lot more than i do while leveling. gems don't lose exp when you die.

edit: or i guess you think i play the game wrong. should have been chaining Dunes instead of Shrine/Shipyard/Courtyard/Palace
