They're back in, but the patch to fix the drop rate isn't live yet (last I checked). That means if you kill or die within 5 minutes, your timer resets.

And my understanding of the drop rate is you can get the chane for one to drop every five minutes; but in that 5 minutes time, it doesnt matter if you keep killing/dying, it gets reset at five minutes after last chance for drop? And can you view rep in the arena? |

If I'm reading that correctly, I think a lot of people are going to be very happy.| If you defeat someone who has recently defeated you, this will no longer restrict you from receiving rewards from the PvP defeat. The PvP reputation timer is now no longer reset from a defeat that doesn't earn reputation. |
edit: No, I didn't read that correctly.

I think you did. Now we can afk farm without messing ourselves up.

the way I read it is you still get a roll every 5 minutes, but now it is every five minutes even if you defeat someone every 30 seconds.

Been 'testing' it in the Arena since about 1pm (eastern). No PvP IO yet.
We don' need no stinkin' signatures!

As has been stated multiple times, assuming a conservative drop rate of 1 in 100 (I was getting closer to 1 in 80, but YMMV), and 12 kills per hour, it's gonna take you 8.5 hours per drop. Halve that if you're getting 12 kills per hour per toon.

PvP fix build was rolled back...don't waste your time trying to farm these yet.

I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.
Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.
So sad to be ending ):
