Magic find aside, the biggest factor in the number of legendaries you find is your kill speed. And of course, unless you're filthy rich, the higher your MF the lower your kill speed, so that balances out a bit.
People love to say "I farmed for 10 hours and got no legendaries", but we have no way to know how fast or slow they farm. They might have 10k dps and kill an elite pack every 15 minutes. They might explore eveyr corner of every map and break barrels instead of killing monsters. They might have a bizarre build which prevents fast killing regardless of gear. I've seen some builds that make my eyes water, one WD profile I saw had no mana dumps, only "free" spells* and defensive ones... What's worse, he complained of bad damage and asked for help, then got belligerent and defended his build when we tried to help him o.O
* WD "free" spells actually cost a tiny bit of mana, I don't know why - they might as well be free like the other class' free spells.
In short, make sure you've done your research on your class' various builds, and check youtube for AH guides - it isn't horribly expensive to get decent gear, but you need to put some effort into getting it at a good price. I would suggest to also check youtube to see how other people play, but a lot of the videos I've seen are not played very well & don't kill very quickly.
They should definitely double the drop rate of legendaries. At this rate ive invested 2 weeks and not one decent legendary has dropped. Thats not how it worked in d2.
Too much time, too little of a reward. This is why people quit. This is why people are frustrated. You need to balance a lot of things about this game, but balance the itemization and affixes and drop rates.
But at the same time, kill speed and how geared ur character is makes a huge difference, if u spend 5 minutes killing 1 champ pact vs 5 minutes killing 5 champ packs, you will greatly increase your odds.
I'm sure I'm not the only guy on d3 who hardly ever finds legendaries....does blizzard plan on upping drop rates on legendaries anytime soon? Its kinda bs that I farm for hours on in and find maybe one or two items that MIGHT sell in the ah for a couple hundred thousand.. if I've missed something in the previous blue post or somewhere else please inform me. Thanks!
I really hope not, since the last patch i have been getting on average 1 legendary per 1-2 hours played.
But before that i didn't see one legendary for 50 hours played, so its just luck, and high MF
u must be very lucky than because i saw 1 legendary drop in all my hours of play...
Please lend me some of your luck ok???
As everyone will tell you, its all just random. I didn't find a legendary after the patch for 3 weeks (and 25 paragon levels), but then suddenly I got 9 legendarys in 4 days.
While I think it is pretty random, I started playing again just yesterday and got a legendary handbow. Maybe I was just lucky lol.
I think they should at least double the dr on leggys...i mean I kill fast, farm fast, but no legends...i got almost 200 mf (w/o neph buffs) and still nothing..I farm act 1, 2, and 3 ....atleast in d2 I would find something within 2-4 hours of gameplay. I know this isn't d2 but you can't put out a game like this after d2 and expect people to play it and like it as much as d2.....
After the patch I have only seen 1 legendary drop for me and it was crappy one, but tbh I would like the drop chance to stay like this I mean I want it to feel special when another legendary finally drop for me, if legendaries start to drop more and more then it will just be like another item without any special feeling that's only my opinion thou
found 3 legendaries / 2 sets since 1.0.4, lvl29 Paragon ..
Well atm I find myself very hard to get an upgrade, every drops are just trash that I cant sell in AH for 10k so Im running only for paragon lvls ... very frustrated about drops but I love this game, what else can I do but keep playing?
