    We checked in with the dev. team about the drop rates of Inferno Totems and Kupo Nut Charms.

    They let us know that they are looking into the following options for the drop rate adjustments:
    • Increase the drop rate for both items
    • Make them have 100% drop rate, but reduce the number that can be obtained at one time
    We would love to hear your feedback on the above two options. ^_^

    If option #2 keeps it so that you can trade the totems/charms that are still in the loot pool, that one sounds great.

    EDIT: and to be doubly clear, if option #2 means that it's one 100% drop of a totem/nut for the party, one totem/nut per run, that would not be good. Someone pointed it out that SE would be that crazy, and I agree.

    The more I think about it the more wary I get. Some clarification if this is per-person or per-party would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!

    Remove totems/charms, keep weapon drop the same, have weapons drop to loot.

    This. It's not the drop rate that's the problem. It's the fact that we have no control over distribution and see perfectly good weapons rot in the treasure chest.

    Just for clarification does this mean a 100% drop rate per individual or "per win" as a group? Like for example would this mean 1 guaranteed totem drop per person or per party?

    I've got about 90 wins now I think, maybe 350+ fights in total. 5/7 on weapons and currently have 6 totems so I'll be done soon but for future reference I really do think 10 wins per weapon is a fair time investment, hardcore or not.

    - Make totems/nuts untradeable

    Does "reduce the number that can be obtained at one time" seem a bit vague or is it just me? I am not sure I understand. Does that mean it is guaranteed to drop for like... 1-2 random party members, instead of a 1% (rough estimate) chance for every individual in the party to receive something other than dark matter?
