You got 470 Great Honor Leapstones in one run? Wow! 
Thatâs insane
Many attribute this as a bug, but I really donât think thatâs what it is. This problem came with the integration of the ark pass, of course, as the pass already brought âmanyâ materials then they reduced the drop in the dungeons to not get multitude of them, by doing that they controlled the progression. On my first run after the patch I noticed the reduction but I wasnât sure, until I saw people on the forums commenting on this. My final read is that this was intentional.
they should give out 10 resonance potions for each charakter you have and then im fine.
Right around the time the priority pass was implemented. Itâs like⌠all of the mats we would have normally received we just taken away from dungeons and given to the priority pass.
Im literally the opposite,every single day for the past 4-5 days i have gotten a gold gate appear on my main character after the second stage.
The nerf is in regards to the amount of materials dropped. Not luck on if a portal spawns.
Yes, Iâm weird too. I play other characters and I get a lot more gold or colored portal
I think because you do it every day it goes down if you look there is a percentage meter that brings you more gear if it is full at 20% or 50%
i wish lmao cba to split the stack just imagine itâs 4
Can confirm I just did a 1310 chaos dungeon and the Level 2 boss gave me like 2k silver and 4 guardian stones. It doesnât happen every time but it is definitely bugged.
Yeah around there.
Bumping this, on day 3 now of elites not even dropping loot sometimes.
Room 2 boss didnât even have silver on a run.
This is going to be big issue. Here is the ripple effect if the hotfix is not applied asap.
1- Lot of player have alt and tried to push for Valtan, if nothing is address, this group will burn out and leave.
2- Since drop rate is low even with Alt. (6X max free slot), people will go to those RMT site and buy gold to buy out the mat. Then, in turn this will lead to an increase of bot activity.
3- With the increase of bot activity, it leads to longer queue time and consistent server crash in some instance yesterday was playing abyss dungeons Oreha hard and Alaric. The player from UNA server are really suffering like literally I see his name on the list but his character took 2 min to load in the entrance. In the Alaric one, the bard just straight DC and got back min later. This is happening more frequently since the Glaivier patch. So base on the Steam chart we have 613K players, but half of it is bot. Imagine the strains it give to the server with those amount of bot.
4- With Increase queue time, many player gets frustrated and will leave for other game as seeing in some of the Thread. Something similar happening with Tera so ultimately the game will be shut down this year in summer. We always sell lost ark respect playerâs time, but with previous points it does not so far.
It is like a vicious cycle this thing with many ripple effect. Legit player who want to push for Valtan assuming with 6 characters can longer do it in a legit fashion so some might go to RMT and just buy out the gold and buy out the market which we have seen with the recent huge increase in price and the Gold to crystal exchange rate. Basically, this huge increase in market price will benefit those bot farmer as they sell the mat at higher price and then sell gold to user.
At the end of the day AGS, Smilegate and the legit players will lose. In term of AGS and Smilegate if those persistent issue are not address promptly it show the players they donât care⌠So if the suppliers donât care why the players should spent money on the game. I already spent 1.6K$ in the game with 12 alts and skin, but if thing continue in this path or unresponsiveness, it doesnât give much confidence to invest more in it in the Cash store. Why would player invest in a legit manner when the RMT offer better return on investment (not recommended) ? This is why those RMT are propping up like weeds in a garden.
Have confirmed that SGR is actively combing through data to look for any changes â once everything has been checked (twice, at least!) I will let players know what the outcome is!!

Thank you very much Roxx to look into it.
Yeah this is pushing me to want to take a break.
I just finished a non rested 1385 chaos and got 48 destruction stones. At that rate, if I ran the 2 chaos per day, it would take 8.5 days (~17 runs) to get enough destruction stones for 1 honing attempt at 30%. Itâs just wasting my time.

THANK YOU. This is absolutely the biggest, most impactful thing you can tell people.
I donât want passes. I already put the time to do the runs. I want the mats that should have dropped.
Thank you. Would not have raised a brow and just considered it bad RNG had it not been only doing it in the 1400 Chaos and the elites were at least dropping anything at all.
Can you please escalate this further? - there are some players that are doing 1400 chaos everyday and if it is indeed bugged, then thatâs time wasted for those playersâŚ
