I've gotten 7 skulls on RC release, 8 Skulls the day after, and 5 today- None of them contained a cursed anything. In fact, the only time I got any cursed blade was from the Loot Chest. and those took forever to get. 3 rare cursed in 3 loot chests, vs 7 haunted bones and some brights in roughly 20 skulls.

I was able to level my stave up quite a bit though...

Well unfortunately there isn't anything we can do man. I'm sorry. If the topic is taken more serious and compromised things can go 50-50 for the community and devs just to be fair. That's all i'm saying..
 
A friend of mine in game whose name is Lawrence Stormfury proves how broken the system currently is. He has spent 24 hours looting, over a period of 3 days, and has only gotten crap. I'm talking sessions where he loots 30+ skull chests and only finds garbage in all of them. Very few of them reward him with famed, and those that do are often duplicates of each other. One instance of this is when he got 3 demon fang knives after looting 3 different loot skull chests. The only legendary he's gotten is a silver freeze, and he's gotten that legendary 4 times counting this instance.

I'm also going to mention how casual players have gotten legendaries after only looting for 20 minute periods. Both Lawrence and I witnessed someone get a blade of the abyss after only 20 minutes of looting in the gold room at Isla Tormenta. Lawrence has seen this happen 4 different times, and I've only seen it once.

I understand that the TLOPO developer team wants cursed blades to be more valuable and rare, but this system of hardcore looters being, for lack of better words, "cucked", while casual looters often get one or even multiple legendary cursed blades. Their system in its current state is far too unfair in my and many other people's opinion, and could use a rework that makes cursed blades easier to get for those who actually put the effort to get them, and don't loot for 20-3o minutes then drop the game, them come back days later to do the same thing.

I do wish they would change it to make loot gradually get better as you loot during a session.

Besides the profanity part of your context you are 100% correct. I do agree and this still needs to be compromised with the team and their community. It's an unfair lack of judgement.
 
@heavyhussar Exactly, we work for hours upon hours to get nothing and I'll see someone walk in, get a famed cursed and walk out. Where is the logic behind RNG in that? I understand it's RNG but shouldn't that chance be extremely low?
 
Legendary Cursed weapons should appear 1 in every 30 loot skulls, and famed 1 in every 20. It would still be hard to find, as it takes hours to get 30 loot skulls.

EDIT: In case it wasn't clear enough, I'm saying that this is how it should be added.

Hello TLOPO staff, I am here to mention something that a lot of the other players are experiencing within the community. Also I'd like to congratulate you guys on your success on the release of Ravens Cove. However, this complaint is regarding to the completion of Ravens Cove quest line afterwards.. After a player would finish Ravens Cove, the player within the game would obviously go loot Tormenta or Ravens Cove's mines..Now.. From my personal experience within POTCO's 2013 looting system it was much more greater as in percentage of loot drop rate(Cursed Weapons amongst the proper areas). Just getting one rare cursed blade is almost close to impossible or either just slim to getting a famed. A rare cursed blade should not be this extreme for a drop. I know this because the old game itself had a higher percentage drop rate within obtaining rare cursed blades... While in TLOPO the percentage is extremely low. This a major problem that most members of this community are talking about. If the staff team hasn't been affiliated with this response from the community then that's a little lacking to not speak up about this issue. Proving something like this would make your team a little skeptical about my complaint. However, my guild consists of high levels that have completed the Ravens Cove quest and other community members that have also completed Ravens Cove that i'm friends with outside of the guild. I believe as a team like you guys are aware of this low drop rate and needs to be looked into when it can, the population hit 1000+ players online yesterday. It will drop if the low percentage isn't fixed. Most players are discouraged by this low drop rate and questioning the loot system, I have seen some players already walk away and give up even after finishing the Ravens Cove quest line when looting for the other Cursed Blades besides the 3 fames you get for free after completing Ravens Cove's quest line. Deflation is a word you wouldn't want mentioned within the community and neither do I want that. I want this community to grow bigger.. But this will discourage many Looters to leave the game with strong feelings - Sincerely The Grief Guild And Friends!

Without actual data to show, claims about drop rates are only personal experience estimates. In my experience the drop rates seem the same as or higher than POTCO. In the days since I completed RC I have received one regular famed and one legendary (BTW the LEGENDARY came from a regular CHEST, and NOT from a skull chest).

Some of our guild mates who loot many hours a day have received multiple famed/legendary cursed @Tyler McDyess, @Charles Warmonk already. I certainly don't recall getting a famed cursed or legendary cursed every week in POTCO. It's been less than a week and I already have a legendary cursed weapon. Again, this is only my experience and I have no real data to share.

I remember in POTCO, it took me months before I got my legendary cursed weapons. These people are acting like it should happen in the matter of days.
 
Its to be expected. The looting system is random, just how it was in POTCO. Some people will get lucky, and others will not. Given the degree of randomness there's always going to be the outliers; Those whom get a famed/legendary on their first couple kills and those whom loot for hours or days and get nothing. I'm not saying that TLOPO's loot chances are 100% accurate to POTCO's but if you want to get closer you can't look at the outliers which it seems is what everyone looks at. And if you have a problem with outliers then you have a critique with the system as a whole and not the chances, and given people's dedication to the RNG in this community that won't be changing.
