Description

Hey, I know it's RNG, but I used to get more consistent outcome in the past.

I started running
The Countess
in Hell before
The Summoner
and
Nihlathak
. Guess what?
I barely have any
Key of Terror
. I did I did less than 50
The Countess
runs before I started going
The Summoner
and
Nihlathak
. After that, I started counting them.

After 97 runs (each time I farm all of them, and in very little cases I die on
Nihlathak
just due to my stupidity) - I dropped 2
Key of Terror
, 10!
Key of Hate
and 3
Key of Destruction
.

Anyone else has this weird feeling they changed the
Key
drop rate?
I usually could give
Key of Terror
away for free, now I got to trade to get them.

They definitely have not changed. I highly recommend running them on p7 if you can find full games and you'll see a HUGE change.

Also fwiw, I run
Nihlathak
almost exclusively (he has the best drop rate) and ive gone 130+ runs without a
Key
. And ive also gotten 5 keys in 3 straight runs.

97 runs isn't enough to average out drop rates when it's like 1/13, 1/12 and 1/11. Need to get to like 1k.

"weird feeling" is the
Key
term here. rng is very abstract and hard to grasp and even harder to imagine.
so no change, just your mind playing tricks on you.

Feels the same to me. I have hot streaks and I have long droughts. Same as before.

Feels same to me. Have collected only 2 sets this ladder though (still tedious)

Had a Dream about getting a

How often do you
Key
run though?

I had 22 D keys drop on day 2 of ladder and that was over maybe 300 runs? So just below average.
7
Back before ladder, I did like two torches per day worth of
Key
sets, selling them for
Gul
to accumulate reliably a
Vex
/day. Thats how I afforded my
Jah
for my first Enigma (roughly
Lo
Lo
Ohm
back then, or 20 torches worth of
Key
sets selling unid torch for
Gul
).

Now I know better, so I mostly run
Travincal
, and only will start running keys once my smiter gets up and running (almost there he is lvl 80 and fully geared).

Back then people were still complaining about not getting the 1/12 chance reliably, and how drops had changed.

While I have not done too many runs recently, had partial sets sold as consequence of farming countess for runes and 2 complete
Key
sets to prove my barb could reliably farm ubers (Grief/Death
Demon Limb
and dual angelics, with Treachery/Duress combo).

Check out some RNG histograms, they are not random :) They will definetly be consistent in some ways, and after certain amount of rolls, you'll see that.
I played diablo 2 for years, and d2r drops, especialy recently feel really weird.
7
The only hunch that I may have is that they increased the drop of lower runes (
El
to
Ith
) in Hell, as I have seen many more
El
s than I remember, this being even more with
Eld
(which I had not seen many in Hell before). It may just be RNG tough.

It took me 110 runs to get my first
Key
drop from Summoner back in March or so, if that helps put it in perspective. Then the next couple
Key
drops came after 10-15 runs or so each. RNG can be a BITCH.

When I'm not slaying demons, I'm usually out hiking mountains.

RNGesus is a fickle lord. Today I've done 50-60 countesses and have gotten 1
Key
but
Ko
,
Um
, and 2
Mal
from her.
