I'm having the feeling that the primal/ancient drop rate is slightly lower in S15 than earlier, but haven't been able to confirm it anywhere. Anyone else experiencing something similar?
Also did a (small sample I know) test of upgrading DH rare bows:
Total: 40 upgrades
Normal legendary: 38
Ancient: 2
Primal: 0
Wasn't expecting any primal, but 2/40 ancient is lower that what I expected.
(Was looking for a better Yang's, but none of the 30 legendaries was of that sort. Got a almost decently even spread across the board apart from that one: 8 Cluckeye, 6 Odyssey's, 5 Leonine, 5 Windforce, 5 Etrayu, 5 Kridershot, 3 Raven's, 3 Uskang)
Cluckeye is slightly overrepresented and Yang's is really low in this sample.
I don't know if it's just bad luck on my part, or maybe I'm a bit spoiled and I became hyper-focused on drops, but season 15 has been rough. Seems like until I craft it I can't get it as a drop. I just completed the season journey, and I think I've improved over previous seasons-but man this one sure felt lite on the drop rate.
Of course with double the cache I was able to craft pretty readily, so perhaps that was the point. Still had fun-for a game I picked up sometime ago I've more than got my money's worth.
To be honest, I hope Blizzard removes some of the RNG out of the next rendition of the game. I would rather farm two to three times as long for mats for guaranteed recipes -- i.e. use x + y and you're going to get crit chance, or whatever. Compared to doing an hour of public T13 bounty groups yesterday, rerolling a pair of shoulders 30 times and never having them come out ancient. That just causes massive frustration. Give me a guaranteed recipe -- 50 bounty mats instead of 5 for ancient.
RNG is RNG. It’s the same reason why I still haven’t gotten the whinsydale wings to drop for me. Been 2 years and still nothing.
I probably got a crap ton of ancient furnaces to drop for me this season though. I have 2 useful primals. A primal thunder fury. You got to strive to deck out your follower with primals.
Even if blizzard did some manipultaions on RNGs, there is no way you can prove this. Assume that a chance to get a primal by rerolling is 0.002%. And say they secretly decrease this value to 0.001%. There is no single ordinary user who can prove this manipulation. Only speculation is possible.
So I dont know. I just hope blizzard is still honest with the gamers.
So, finally, after quite a few cube rerolls of Yang's, this one popped
Still thinking what I should reroll - will likely sacrifice AS and might put CDR on it, as I'm a bit low on that from other gear atm. Can change it to AOE later I guess...

Conspiracy confirmed.
@admin Why on earth is my pic not visible ?
It's visible while editing. Disappears on preview or final post.

RNG is RNG.
I did my 70 grift on HC 2 days ago and already have 6 primals. It's totally random.
And may the odds be ever in your favour.

You need to use a third party site for images. Most people use imgur
Obviously I did, since i can't upload Images into the forum.
The image Shows while editin, then vanishes in preview and final post.
Strange, since i've done this several times before here, without any glitches.
Probably a bad luck but let me say this:
