Any rare loot. This has been happening much more in the last 2 days. It was my understanding that they would at least drop one, and that's certainly been my experience. Is this a bug or just really terrible RNG? Thanks.
I've noticed this happening when I went from 4 stacks to 5 stacks especially when it was a yellow mob I was killing. I've yet to notice it with 5 stacks except for one time this weekend I killed a rare with 5 stacks of NV and received no loot what so ever. :/
I have NEVER had that happen to me either, and I've got 300+ hours.
Here's a common scenario that happens and players mistake it as a bug:
You have 4 stacks of NV.
You kill an elite mob, and now have 5 stacks of NV.
No rare items dropped.
This is working as intended. Like the post above, if you are 100% sure that you had 5 NV stacks PRIOR to killing the elite pack, and no rare dropped, submit it to Blizzard. I cannot vouch for this bug, nor can anyone I know.

When you kill your 5th elite pack in a run, you're not guaranteed a rare item. You get the 5th NV stack *after* the kill and *after* the loot is determined. In the one rare case that happened to you this weekend there was probably something else. Was it a rare or an elite? Rares (violet name plate) don't necessarily drop a rare item, even with NV5. Was it a yellow or blue ("champion") elite? Sometimes you miss one of the champions, and since you're already at NV5 you don't really see if you killed all of them - you can only be sure once you get a rare/legendary drop.

I understand that I don't have 5 NV til after the loot was determined. It was no issue for me as I figured that was the reason. As far as the other issue when I had 5 stacks, it was a yellow mob that I killed. I killed it going through a door way. Nothing on either side. Maybe it fell off the map. Who knows. Not really complaining. Just sharing my experience from this weekend.
All that makes sense. As far as I can tell I'm already rocking the 5 stacks, and killed all the elites in the pack, but as for falling off the map, I guess I wouldn't be able to tell. I'll keep an extra eye on it from now on. I mentioned it because in the hundreds of hours I've played it appears to be a new phenomenon. Thanks for the input, ya'll.
