1k+ bags opened and only 2 exotics, did they nerf the amount of exotics u get this patch?

[TallBarr.2184]

opened over 1000 bags when patch hit and only got 2 70s exotics, did they reduce the amount of exotics u get across all bags?

 

[Etria.3642]

Yes, mf no longer applies.

[Nor.2057]

good thing i opened all the ones i hoarded before patch got like 11 from aprox that amount but common unidentified ones (had 812% MF)

[TallBarr.2184]

i'm not talking about unidentified gear btw, i opened 1000 bags from events in the open world, like the embroided pouches, boxes, etc. The amount of t6 u get seems reduced aswell.

As I understand it exotic drops from those bags should be unchanged. All they've done is replace blue, green and yellow drops with unidentified gear. So if the drop rate has gone down it would be a bug.

 

How many exotics would you normally expect from 1,000 bags?

2 exotics from 1000 champ bags isn't anything close to unusual.

 

Specific example (from late 2015)

* 25001 Embroidered Coin Bags

* 127 exotics (including named-specific-to-this-bag), i.e. 0.5% (1-in-200)

* 831 rares, i.e. 3.3% (3-in-100)

 

Using 0.5%,

* The chance of getting [0, 1, 2, or 3 exotics](https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=0.5%25+chance+of+success,+1000+trials,+less+than+4+successes) from 1000 bags is 26%

* For [0, 1, or 2 exotics](https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=0.5%25+chance+of+success,+1000+trials,+less+than+3+successes), it's over 12%

Usually more then that but i guess its random.

 

Is there any reason why some bags still drop green/blue items on a lvl 80 char, mushroom cashes for instance.

Sure, 74% is 'usually', and yes, RNG will give you good streaks and bad streaks; you're just having a bad one.

Caches were designed to approximate direct drops from low-level foes, compared to Embroidered Coin Purses, which are guaranteed from champs and have better loot.

 

i.e. it's always been designed for some bags to drop better loot

 

[Ayakaru.6583]

from now on, magic find will affect how many, and the quality of the lootboxes you get.

but no longer their contents.

0% or 300% magic find means (for example) 10 more bags for you.

but each bag will still contain the same chances as the other guy with 0% MF
