Zonureskin Maps - Portals and Dungeon Chambers

[EyreJane]

Has anyone else noticed a reduced number of instances where portals appear after digging for treasure in a lvl 80 - 8 person map? It seems to me that it used to be more common before the last patch release. Anyone else notice this?

The chances of advancing to the final chamber in a dungeon is also extremely rare. I have done over 100 maps and I have yet to raid a final chamber of Lyhe Ghiah. Prior to the last patch release we would get 'saved' almost every other dungeon but now it is more like every 50 dungeons you get 1 save.

I really want that Dungeon Lady title. If anyone has any tips on getting that - let me know!

I swear to god the portal spawns and save rates get worse after the maps aren't current.

RNG is RNG is RNG. strings of bad luck lead to the fallacy that the system is "rigged" when in fact it is working as intended.

I like the analogy but how do you quantify “luck” with number of portal spawn and save rates? I’d love to know what those rates actually are. Then I can move on from thinking there is a glitch somewhere in the system that’s preventing me from getting that Dungeon Lady title.

I think the loot is worse too..

lol they're not going to reveal their RNG formula!

I will agree that the loot pool for this latest patch is not the best. there's almost zero chance of getting the golden beaver minion, and most of the time you're still getting things like seacloth and the cloth-softening powder, and enchanted elm lumber (which even your retainer can now bring back for you).
