no matter who makes the kill.
Thats why farming bb is so useless.
At least 2 galok spaw points are occupied from afk pets/necros.
And theres always other competiton(I guess bots?)
And questing ppl too.
Even on a low pop server like fedimian…

I could not drop absolutely nothing lately, no 315 mat even after a thousand kills, one portium after 3 runs and no artiluniuns after 3 full runs at 290 dg too! Argh, guess I will just go back to Rabi-Ribi, cannot play it like this.

I’m in the same situation. I’ll try to farm 315 mats but I’ll just get one or nothing even after a thousand kills. Nowadays, I’ll just log-in to do saalus then wait to do ET with my party.
In other note: Persona 5 is really good and actually rewards you for your efforts.
Also dem waifus.

Please, this shouldn’t be a thing. 1,027 kills for the ornament to drop? It’s ridiculous. Please update us on this @STAFF_Yuri

From my farming of 5 orange weapons since the update, I can pretty confirm that the dpk is still channel bounded and for each drop rate of orange mat is 1/2000 and scale down to kill number. I had a 1972 dpk kill drop and the next drop with in 20 kills.
That means if your first drop at around 700, the next drop rate is 1/1300, In the most unlucky case, you get the 800 for the next time and the rate change to 1/500 and you can still get 400 dpk number for the last one.
If you are lucky, you can get 400 out of 1/2000 and 300 out of 1/1600.
But I believe there is also an minimum number of kills required. I’ve never encounter an lucky drop below 150 before it scale down below.
THIS IS ACTUALLY A BAD MECHANISM.

Sounds to me like they just need to adjust the rates and test their crap but as usual this is asking too much of them.[/quote]
Is it that hard to sit in an empty map spawning 100 of the same monster to test drops? I know they can spawn them and this is what we used to do on the RO private servers for drop testing as an admin.
It is either: Yes, this drops too much. Or no, we need to adjust the rates after you spawn them repeatedly to see if it works.
Does IMC do this? Prolly not and just plugs in numbers.

-> Runs a server illegally and on top of algorithm someone else wrote.
-> Tells it’s the right thing to do and doesn’t even understands the source code.
Oh, well.
Tilted af.
Bless your soul.

Hello @STAFF_Yuri, you already have some information on this subject of dpk ?. Please let us know. ty
Not quite, since I’ve also occupied with FAQs and relocations on going. but I already prepared some questions for it, like… what is it, what is it’s goal, what do you want to do with, sort of an interview-ish thing. My goal is to update this on Dev blog.

Seems like Staff yuri stated that the current drop rates is really what it is.
Not sure about that, yet… I’m a bit careful about this since I didn’t received any information about it.

I see, if you have the chance to talk about this issue to them, we are here waiting for the response.
As you can see everyone is concerned about this.
Thanks @STAFF_Yuri.
RO testing was done via bots on actual iRO. It wasn’t done by people making private servers. Private servers isn’t the solution to the issue. I feel that IMC has perhaps a lack of developers and programmers. There’s a lot of miscommunication occurring. Thus far every patch has managed to make an issue for the server. Every patch day we expect something to go wrong; we’re literally trained to expect the worst.
I would not be surprised if 1) A patch broke the new DPK system and it’s now mal-functioning with no one addressing the issue due to the changes in Korea.
- They nerfed it intentionally without speaking to the community.
I think it’s the former and not the latter. @STAFF_Yuri already addressed that she’s bringing up the issue. I’m going to wait patiently.
At the very least we have an IMC staff member addressing the situation. Sure, I’d love for us to have an answer today or tomorrow but that seems unlikely.
It isn’t going to prevent me from farming either way.
