Let's discuss the current state of chests and drop rates

Continuing to track Seasons Chests in the following thread, along with my most recent commets:

The things that continue to stand out to me:

• Clearly Seasons chests have a modified loot table different from the normal Dungeon chest assortment even after taking into about the “QoL Improvements”
• The addition of shards IMHO is still a poor choice. I can get shards from lots of places in the game currently (adding more shards has already been done a number of times so this is a case where the marginal utility of additional shards is poor). More items should be present particularly since people want the items for set and goals completions
• The quality of the items is bad. So far not a single Epic item. At this Level chest with over 50+ chest instances, is it too much to ask for one Epic drop? Once again, you need jackpot items to make this process interesting. Farming for “supplies” every single time is not fun
• Speaking of jackpot items, still not a single relic. Talked to lots of people, not a single Seasonal relic from a chest (perhaps one has happened, kudos). But honestly if you cant give us quality items then you at least need better chance for relics. Remember we have been told that Relic rates from chests have been “improved” 4 times to date. How bad were the drop rates originally if we are still not seeing any.

EDIT: one person messaged me and said they got 1x Red Gear. Do I hear 2!
