Not a Bug Nightshadow badge drop rate lower

I personally didn't feel any change. Gathered 45 of those today.

 

I've seen similar reports by other players

 

i farmed at the map with nightshadows and windraiders.. got 91 badges in 2 hours (shad, 3~4 shot'em)

 

We didn't change the drop rate for the badges, that would've been announced with all the other changes. All I can think of is that it might be an unintended change since we added other items to the drop table, so adding new items = lower drop rate for badges? I'm not entirely sure how it works, but the drop rate is still the same as it was before in the code. That hasn't been modified. We can go double check for you though ^^

 

I personally felt no change.. but I did start on the second last day of event.

 

It seems interesting from reading the few posts here and I'd like to know if anything was changed unintentionally as well since new items were added into the table

 

Can confirm, these used to drop very easily and now they're a bit of a struggle

 

same here

 

Is this generally how drops work in Maple? You'd assume each drop has an independent chance, but what you're essentially implying is that each item is in some sort of an item pool where you only get one of several possible outcomes.

 

Honestly dude I have no idea how a 20 year old mushroom game works, I'll go ask pasta to look into it and see if that's how it works and if we can adjust the rates to be how they were before (if it's true that adding new items lower the drop rate of badges)

 

That'd be great, thanks! Sorry didn't mean to imply you knew the ins and outs of the codebase, I'm just very interested in nerd shit like this

 

Here is what I got farming in Cavern of Valor for 45 min; pretty similar to OP. Ignore the hearts and Firebrand badges

Honestly thats faster than what I normally get when I farm on my bishop. However my bishop clears mobs twice as fast so hard to tell if the drop rate is lower than b4...

As an aside, has anyone tried farming badges on a bishop and on an atking class? Haven't done enough exchanges on my bucc yet but I have suspicions now that mage ults have a droprate nerf for badges.

 

It's not strange, that's how RNG works; sometimes it's fast, sometimes it's slow. I don't think there's such thing as a "buggy channel" when it comes to drop chances...

 

When i was card hunting i always went to ch1 cause i seemed to drop cards faster... LOL
