Yep, also had mostly 20 upgrade gear, now I’m finding gear with 30+ upgrades… I went from being close to top-tier geared on 5 different characters to mid tier overnight.
Yeah the awesome Random drops are called “Super Loot” apparently. Though in 7.10 they had the RNG set-up incorrectly, and WAY too much Super Loot was dropping. With the current 7.10b, Super Loot is supposed to be more rare, so I hope you farmed it last night.
They are to set-up the new difficulty, Nightmare.
EDIT: TrendyNET is re-buffing the drop-rate of Super Loot in 7.10c. Everyone was complaining that it wasn’t fair that other people got Super Loot easy, while they would have to farm for it. Wow, bunch of whiners.
Well, they did need to re-patch the loot in 7.10b, they set the loot threshold far too low by accident. People were finding garbage gear on the final wave of insane spook. You had to get to wave 19+ on insane survival to get any decent gear.
I do like that the giraffe buff is retroactive, although the giraffe I have is still meh at best.
