No Inf and Prestige in Arena?

I'm not getting inf or prestige for arena kills since I19 went live.
Anyone else noticing this?

I wonder if that will bork PvP IO (and shard) drops?

Yippee

Same thing is happening in zones. No rewards are dropping at all.

No inf or prestige, though. Interesting.

nothing in RV either. Played for several hours (like 12) with bro-in-law. No inf, prestige, insp, shards, recipes.......nothing.

I wonder what is up. If this is a way to stop PVP IO farming, how will they determine a PVPer from a PVP farmer? PVP recipies are too rare already, without them making it harder.

I tested for 2 nights now and not a single drop. I also noticed that instead of the rep always being 0.01 for all rep valid kills, it's 0.00 every now and again.

I was full on salvage on the toon doing the killing so I deleted one. No salvage drop either.

Something's up!

I'm also not getting any drops of any kind in zone.

I don't know what percentage of PvPIO drops are being generated by farmers, but I bet it's pretty high, at least 50%. Can you imagine how high the prices for PvPIOs would be on the market with the supply cut in half? Farmers keep the supply high.


Never argue with stupid people. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

It's probably a bug with the addition of shard drops. given that we've been farming rikti monkeys for two months, i think they will punish us by taking their time with this bug

hmm... can you say stealth nerf till they find a way to stop the farming.

Hope you all got a lot of inf cause PVP IO prices are about to go through the roof.

The real shame is that if they find a way to nerf the farms and don't increase drop rates its just setting the table for even more price gouging and increasing the odds off people taking sales out of game into RMT trades. You want my +def proc? Sure, just paypal me 20 bucks and its yours.

Not sure about arena, but spoke with a few people in broadcast in RV. No one in the zone (including me) was getting influ or drops of any kind. One other person who was on for hours in another pvp zone also confirmed no drops, and that was out of the ordinary. Wonder if they made pvp IOs for sale only now to make people buy GR? Like the guy who suggested stealth nerf, can only speculate as it's not in the patch notes...

"the reason there are so many sarcastic pvpers is we already had a better version of pvp taken away from us to appease bad players. Back then we chuckled at how bad players came here and whined. If we knew that was the actual voice devs would listen to instead of informed, educated players we probably would have been bigger dicks back then." -ConFlict

They also said rewards not dropping when I15 launched was a bug, and we all remember what happened after that.

Another night of "testing" completed and 0 drops.

Damn. No more PvPIO's (God knows the devs aren't going to fix anything. They're much too busy making animated tails, and new dance emotes, woot!!!)

Wow, this thread got cleaned up fast. Are drops fixed yet?

Nope, but it looks like Arena temps work.

Did drops come back after the patch today? (I'm at work and can't test.)

To be honest, I am enjoying how high the prices are climbing with the supply cut off.

Inf and prestige did not come back, so I'm assuming the other drops are on vacation as well.

If you're ever bored, just open the avatar itself in a new window and refresh it a lot.

Now I'm sad, because the characters with the ability to pay base rent for the SG and VG bases I have my PvP IOs stored in are on my second account, which has been cancelled.

Well the latest patch notes mention rewards are fixed.

Time to start cheating! I mean testing! Time to start testing!
