Devil's Assault Nerfed?

[Bogenbroom]

So last night I did my first Devil's Assault run since the update (EN) and the 4th chest appears to no longer be dropping ingredients. Was this an intentional change? Was it not WAI before and now is?

So, since it was in the players favor, you know what they say!!

It was a massive game unbalancing mechanic, so it had to be changed.:rolleyes:

Do you mean shroud crafting ingredients? If so, I'd expect EN to have a pretty low drop rate, as in, not guaranteed. It's anecdotal, but I'm sure I've had EN runs with no ings plenty of times before the update. Try EH/EE.

From what I recall EN drops tokens like candy (usually get 2) but is balls for ingredients. EH/EE drops those more frequently.

I've been doing periodic 3 man EN runs on it for a couple of months... maybe once or twice a week. This was the first time chest 4 has no special items... meaning no shroud ings, epic tokens/fragments, boot materials... nothing. I didn't see anything on a change in the release notes. And if no one else is seeing a difference I'll give it another whirl.

My guild has been farming EN for tokens the last couple of weeks and while I couldn't say specifically which chest (other than one of the three after completion) we've all been getting GS mats with some regularity

To clarify, the Epic chest still appears to be working as it ever has, it is the fourth "regular" chest that had been dropping GS mats, etc before and, at least on the one run I've done since the update, now is not.

On the 2 runs I've done (both EN as I have never seen a difference in token/mat drops due to difficulty) since U19 I have gotten 1 token, 1 small and a large scale from the 4th chest. About what I expected.

Ahhh, many thanks! +1 to you!
