Still waiting. We know they were changed despite claims that they weren't. The question is when are you going to do something about it?

They don't have seperate loot tables between the Viscera at an emergency or the one at a seige.

You would end up getting too much loot, and be happy. This is not the desired outcome.

Because the Volge in sieges appear in massive numbers compared to emergencies the volge in sieges have a lowered drop rate. This is so that the volge in emergencies didn't get *their* loot table nerfed.

Still no official answer? Bug or feature?!?

Trick said they have a team on it look at everything to see what happened.

Yes as they have told us...

Of course they were. This is the one thing done to try and mitigate the new lag they knew a lot of loot drops would cause in Volge Sieges.

I'd also say that recent loot rate drops have occurred in all areas of the game. The latest patch indicated they had done more to address stability issues-it's likely they are constantly only reducing loot drops as THE way. We all know it's happened before. I also think this is why there were so many problems with boosts (my conspiratorial nature is surfacing).

I think it's part of why clan stuff always stopped working on boost weekends-if you had a loot boost weekend along with clan, self, and group boosts the game would just stop working.

I think it wasn't only the loot (weapons and such) drops were lowered for the Volge emergencies but even ammo, scrip, and salvage--even with the perks on for things.

And over the last couple of days when doing emergencies, I would do them and get nothing, no drops of any kind from any of the Volge.

You and I discussed the BMG. So, prior to this patch and after it I started back in using my BMG in earnest. I did tests using it on people that needed healing and on doing damage. Prior to the patch, I had so many drops it was hard to keep up--after the patch, significantly lower amounts. I did Sutro tower last night for a time--using a detonator and sometimes got zero drops from Dark Matter. I know I don't have the loot tables in front of me, but I know what I'm seeing.

Soo...any word yet on this item?

So this question was dodged on the live stream.

We still want to know what's up with the volge emergency nerf.
