I've been playing with a group for the past 3 days about 12 hours a day, and we've noticed a few changes in drop rates and quality drop rates.

I'm almost 100% sure that they nerfed drop rates without putting it in any patch notes or it's a bug.

Anyone else with this issue?

(BioWare, if you are nerfing drop rates, don't. To get the inscriptions we need for a build, we'd have to get hundreds of the same Masterwork/Legendary.)

Hey - update on what happened here.

In our Friday changes, one of the edits we made had the side effect of increasing certain drop chances. This was not intended. Once we identified the problem we changed it back to how it was before. That was about 11 hours later.

Took a little time for that message to make it around internally and to make sure we understood what happened and how to avoid it going forward.

It’s never our intent to make changes without being transparent, so we wanted to come in here to respond and clarify.

Note: we did intentionally change the drop rates of rare items in certain chests, per the patch notes we posted
