First fragment drop of the day bugged or nerfed (9.1.5 Update 39) [Closed]

Update: After further testing, RNG is pure evil!

-- Original --

I noticed a change to the way the first fragment drop behavior has changed. Before the last patch, I could go through each of the public dungeons and grab a fragment fairly quickly. Since the last patch, I'm either rolling 1's on a cursed die, or there is a bug/nerf. What it feels like is there is now a cooldown when triggering the initial drop bonus or certain public dungeons are bugged. My observations on the troubled dungeons so far:

• Gorne - ran through half of the dungeon before my first drop - before the last patch, I could do a few groups of mobs and maybe a boss or two.
• Spire of the Crimson Coin - ran around the dungeon 2.5 times (about 10 mins?)
• Silent Halls - ran through twice but didn't get a drop (was too tired to continue hah)

If no one else has noticed a change, then I guess I can attribute it to my typical crap luck.. if others have noticed, then either there was a stealth nerf or a bug was introduced. Anywho, thank you for reading!

i dont know if i noticed any changes, but my experience with these increased first drop chances is they definitely seemed to happen much more commonly from the bosses than random mobs

Yeah, when the initial increased drop rate released, I noticed this too. But, in my recent run-a-rounds I would also give each of the bosses a couple slaps, but they were quite stingy.

I don’t have the latest update yet, but my experience so far is the first one per day drops fairly quick, but if you log off and come back hours later it takes longer for the second one that day (but first one since login) to drop.

I get them from mobs too so it’s not just bosses.

After further testing, I might need to chalk it up to horrible horrible.. did I forget to say, "horrible?".. horrible RNG. So nothing new! The pub-dungies that were previously consistent in their stinginess, gave their first fragment quite quickly.

We can close this report. Now, if we can report on how evil RNG is, a DnD cleric might need to cast a Turn spell on it. Thank you all for your views/replies! Much

We are going to close this thread at the OP request since this issue has since resolved itself.
