Titan Chest Vent Thread / Bad Titan Chest Loot / Is Titan Chest Loot a Joke?

[Garanwyn]

@Ultra

I agree. I can still vividly remember that around 80% of the time, titan chests give 3* or 4* unfarmable ascension items every time you open it until several months ago where titan chests seldom provide the desired items.

You are vividly remembering a time that didn’t exist.

Here’s actual data from February 2018:

(Take 2) Titan Mission vs Monster Mission Loot

I did keep track, but only have data on 14 of them so it’s hard to draw too many conclusions. In those 14 I’ve gotten one 3* ascension item, one 4* ascension item, one epic troop token, and two epic hero tokens. Based on that limited data the titan chests seem to have better odds than regular chests, but still lower than they should be IMO. In fact, so far I’ve found five days of Mystic Vision loot seems better than the 5 days it takes to fill a titan chest.

And it’s always been like that. People have been complaining about titan chests and calling for improvements forever.

@Blitz

Also just got my titan chest for killing 5 and it was all trash…unreal…i would expect i would get something better from titan chest than just a single titan kill…they really havent put much thought into this. They should really review the matrixes they use for treasure drops…they wont, but they should…

Here’s from an Ideas & Feature Requests proposal from August 2017:

@ViciousVP

Congrats!
You beat 5 TITANS!
Go you!
Your reward?
Junk …

What is the actual point of these chests

As of recent, I seem to get better loot from single titans (tier 9 loot) than from the whole titan chest. I think random is okay, but this seems a little strange.

What is the actual point of these chests

Well that’s why mercing is still a thing. Titan loot > titan chest loot even individually quite often, let alone in aggregate.

@Revelate

Titans come and go and I’ve rarely gotten anything useful from a titan chest…

If they were providing high-quality ascension items 80% of the time, then we would never have seen this Ideas & Feature Requests proposal from November 2017:

@tunafish

In hopes to improve ascenion item drops, this is what i propose.

1. Change 5 kills to 7 kills. That essentially means every week, you get this chest.
2. Contents should contain 1, 3* or 4* crafting item, 1, 3* or 4* RARE ascenion item, 10gems, and a flask. This would mean every week, you have a BETTER chance of getting an item that would help.

@Ellilea

We whine and whine and whine… Yet to no avail

Come on guys, this chest takes 5 days of successful titan kills to fill. Yet the rewards are the same as for the daily chests. It’s really lame.

@Wormwood

At the moment I’m receiving loot from a chest reward lvl VI. I’ve gone trough 2 chests so far and so far I haven’t received anything different than what I can get by simply going through the campaign.

March 2018, complaining about Titan Chests being nerfed “over the past month:”

Please fix the loot tables

So I think the secret is out now that the probability of ascension items dropping has taken a nerf. For the past month I’ve noticed an increased rarity in getting pretty much anything useful. See the recent gains from my 5/5 titan chest for example: [20180311_190743] For something that takes a minimum 5 days to fill, this is quite pitiful. Sadly, this is representative of every 5/5 chest I’ve filled for the past 5-6 weeks. Other things along the same vein: elemental chests not dropping epi…

April 2018:

Improve loot for titan chest!

It takes a while to fill up the titan chest with 5 kills, then after that time to be let down by mediocre loot is very irritating! Oftentimes I get better loot from the individual titan kills. The chest requires more time and effort to complete, so the reward should increase accordingly. SG, Please improve the quality of loot in the titan chest!

17 4* AM drops across 3 months on two accounts, and only one of those came from a titan chest.

Titan Chests

Why is Titan Chest so under rated when it comes to loots? It take days to get a chest done and the loots are nothing different than what I get from a regular or raid chest. There should be a higher chance of acquiring ascension loots based on the difficulty completing a chest instead of adding the ridiculously or same old fairy tale “it’s all random”.

And on and on. When you have several decent chests in a row, it’s easy to remember things as always having been that way. But the loot was never all that great–not two years ago, and not now.
