Thread: Yet another undisclosed update, this time to market equipment?

Was there yet another new, undisclosed update to the game, one that prevents legendary equipment from dropping in the market and that also changes what equipment is available to purchase depending on character level?

When the first round of "major" updates started on July 2nd, the appearance all but ceased for legendary market equipment, but there were still common equipment items in the market. In fact, in the two weeks between the 1st and 3rd "major" update, I only saw ONE legendary equipment appear in the market. Before July 2nd, there was at least one legendary equipment every 2 to 3 days, even if most of them were only for Kobans.

Since the last update on July 21st, all I have seen have been rare and epic equipment after EVERY market update, and still no legendary, and the commons have disappeared completely. This is not just a coincidence and has to be some new feature. I don't mind commons disappearing, but where are the legendary? Is the drop rate so low, they're non existent in the market now?

All that is mentioned in the last patch notes was the fact that market equipment prices were being lowered and would no longer cost Kobans. Nothing else was mentioned about changes to market equipment, appearance rate, or what items would be available.

You're wrong. Several people dropped legendary equipment in market since last wednesday.
It's all RNG, you cannot make any realiable empirical hypothesis with a sample of 1 person

Well, I'm not wrong about it actually happening to me. Also, I'm not wrong by asking was it happening to anyone else due to my own personal results and observations. I HAVE only seen one piece of legendary equipment in the market since the Feb. 7th patch, and that was about a week and a half ago. And after the patch on the 21st, there have been no commons in the market, either. So clearly something has changed. Different results are being observed other than what has occurred since the 2.0 patch up to the patch on Feb. 7th.

Also, I actually mistyped the date in the first post. Sorry about that. I kept reading the date in the patch notes as written 7/2, which I read as July 2nd, instead of 2/7, which I read as February 7th. It's what I get for typing all that after first getting up in the morning.

legendary equipment in the market is super low. it literally drops like once every few weeks on average. ever since HH2.0 was released I have not got a single legendary item that was solo statted for my specialization and maybe 1-2 that were rainbow statted. not sure why you think that legendary items drop every couple days - they are super rare (i can not even recall the last time I had one in my shop)

After 2.0 patch, I was seeing 2 to 3 a week in the shop up until the most recent patch series. Most were for Kobans, so I only had the chance to buy 3 or 4 with in game currency. If people can get girl drops easy, and some can take months to get one drop (that's me) and that's accepted around here, is it so hard to believe that legendaries in the shop appeared more often for someone else other than you?

or maybe you accept the fact that they do not drop multiple times a week and you got lucky and now are back to what droprates are supposed to be - super low

Not really, I didn't know or not, because I had never seen otherwise, so that's why I was asking in the first place. But if we are supposed to only see one legendary in the shop every 1 or 2 months, or less, so be it. Makes no difference to me in the long run, especially now since those items were nerfed a few weeks ago.

I have 3 legendaries in my shop right now. Half the time I never have the cash to buy them anyhow. I did the math recently and the cost per affection is the same no matter which item you buy so it really doesn't matter what's in the shop. It all costs the same. So whether you buy a bunch of little ones or one big one it is all the same.

And noting that the post was about equipment. Equipment is totally overrated anyway so don't get too upset.

it is the same for epic+. I did some calculations like 3/4 year ago and some of the lower affection items were a bit over average
