ofcourse you don’t, why would you? silly. 
so everybody here is part of the ‘We’ you’re talking about then, yea, sorry my man, i was wrong, my bad. 
Precisely, In a way the kill count is much less predictive but percentile base.
I’d be okay with character-bound DPK as well, but preferably with more variance. Honestly it kinda takes a little bit of the magic out of grinding when you know when something will drop down to within like 20 kills.

bumping this because i hate the dpk system
You guys are ridiculous.
You blame dpk when in fact you have a problem with drop rates being too low (or counts being reset).
I read on the dpk topic that each maintenance, dpk isn’t reset to 0 but to a random number. Have you tested it ? I was too lazy to…
Dpk will be okay if they lower down the number instead.
Some classes need the orange versions, though, e.g. Skull Smasher, because there’s currently no other way to get a good mace with matk as main stat for transcending. Good thing I chose to switch my main and now run a physical Cleric build, no drama later on to get the mace and I can use my 2nd pract on the dagger or shield (purple Lion of course), no idea which one I should get …
ktos patch notes (test server)
"Changes to Item Drop Methods
- Item drop rates will gradually increase the more kills the player does to the enemy being killed.
- However, this drop rate will reset back to its original rates under certain criteria."
Idk if it means they’re going to rework dpk.
Possibly this means a self-DPK , not channel based.
I hope to god this is an actual change to the dpk system and trickles down to ITOS soon.
DPK is the 2nd largest cancer in this game behind afk farming.

It is the top cancer imo. AFK farming is mostly only to dbf and dp2 anyway. It may be a noob repeler but oh god. DPK is an old player repeler. You realize that its pointless to git rank 8 mats and then quit this game. I settled with violet while some on my friendlist just gave up that crap and quit. kek

Ya I told people the 3rd week rank 8 was out to go ahead and focus their money into a purple weapon once I discovered how absurdly impossible it was to farm the 50+ mats for each orange, I had the artinloium done, had all my undamaged mourning bird wings farmed and had the maps all to myself b/c at that time the mats werent public, I was just using korean info half-as* google translated and I couldnt even get 1 fkng mat with no competition. Would farm for 3 hours and then 1 random guy passing through the map would kill 1 mob and get my drop.

The afk farming has completely ruined the market on Klaipeda though. Corporations like Jace and his merry band of sorc and necro cronnies have driven the price of everything through the roof due to the fact that they have been playing with monopoly money for the last 7-8 months. It has more of an impact then simply ruining 2 maps, and it continues to spread, large parts of Forest of Prayer are being swallowed up now as well, it will just continue to envelop everything. And we havent even mentioned the warlocks who occupy and empty entire maps for instanced clear vouchers.

Reworking it does not solve the issue at all.
It needs to be REMOVED, cause it cant be fixed to the player’s satisfaction.

So, instead of blaming the low drop rate, you blame the dpk and the random guy ?
Plz stop the bullshit. The odd of having a random guy stealing your mat is the same as getting the mat in a RNG system : it’s absurdly low.
It’s not, get your sht straight.
RNG is RNG
Killcount is killcount

Just because the end result is the same of not getting the drop doesn’t make the system any less retarded. Whether someone steals your loot or the drop rate is low you should never go full retard.

Nice partial quote.
What do you even hope to accomplish with that ?
That’s arguable. One is Random NG. The other is guaranteed loot every n mobs. Both are the same amount of loots if you farm long enough.
Now, why everyone are now whining about dpk ? Because they want their red weapons.
Why don’t they get them ? Because drop rates are abysmally low.
Hes trying to tell you that you are wrong, clearly we all need to type a bit slower for you

It’s not the same man.
Because they set the amount to something absurd so it takes forever where if it was purely just a random chance you could possibly get it on the first kill. That would absolutely slay your “same time” theory because if you got another within an hour it would take months for someone to catch up in the current system.
That’s why people are disagreeing with you. Because what you’re saying makes no sense.
