Oh..and Valkriss...grats! You got your FSon the same day I did! 20 Jan w00t!

Lol i just saw you killing NPC's at this moment i am get my master swordsman LOL.

Been killing meatlumps for 2 days straight and no crystals... best thing I got were locked containers... all which had no crystals in them. Whats the deal ?

bleh

Hi, I hear it said nothing has changed, Yet b4 patch 6 I was picking them up from chunkers and sleemos on average one a week, as I didn't camp them, but did mug them everytime I saw them while passsing thro.

Now they have all dryed up, nothing has changed eh, well it sure look's like something has.

And I doubt it's the only thing.

Oad

As much as I hate to admit it, I do think that there is more to this than simply removing the junk from Act II. There was a ratio before (rudimentary but fairly accurate) as to the number of locked containers that would drop for every crystal that you would acquire. I have exceeded that number 4 fold now and have no crystals to speak of. I agree that locked containers are not dropping as much (perhaps due to the Act II junk removal), but crystal drops have gone the way of the Dodo! I have had none.

I've looted 90+ containers in a week of camping, and 1 stinking twin crystal. Tell me again that the drops didn't somehow change and I think I'm gonna cry.

I will add my voice here ...

At first, I also thought it was just spawn rate change due to the removal of act 2 stuff. But I have killed thousands since patch 6, and found ZERO crystals af any kind. Before patch 6, I averaged about 1/500.

I don't really think they are lying, I believe that some of the changes they made have had unintended consequences that they have not yet realized or addressed. I have done enough programming to know how easily this can happen with very complex systems.

One other note. I have enjoyed using the "treasure maps" before, even though the loot was nothing much. But they are not working anymore since patch 6 ... what's up with that? Another bug? Or maybe are they planning to use the maps in other ways, but don't have it working yet?

(And yes, I have sent in a ticket/bug report on that.)

Just start looting NON-STATIC SPAWNS and you get loads of crystals, gotten 6 this week, 4 twin 2 singles.

(Non-static spawns: Jawa missions, thug missions, all that stuff)

been running jawa missions for 2 hours and not even a locked container
