Chest Upgrades Less Frequent Since Twitch Drops?

Hi Eternal fans. I’ve been playing a lot of Eternal over the past few weeks, after a month or two long break, and I’ve noticed that chests seem to upgrade far less frequently.

I also know that Twitch Drops are a thing now, and it’s got me wondering if DWD has quietly nerfed chest upgrades to help compensate for Twitch Drops.

Is anyone aware of anything like this going on? I have no data to back up my suspicion, so it’s really just a gut feeling right now. I’ve had 2 chest upgrades over my last 30 games. Perhaps I’m just going through some bad RNG?

Anyone else feel like something has changed? I’m hoping to hear that other players feel like everything is the same.

Cheers.

Twitch drops aren't even here yet?

True, but they’ve been testing the system and giving Drops as a result and the Twitch Prime loot was massive. So it just got me thinking. At this point, even if they have changed up their upgrade drop rates, it’s too early to assert that it’s better or worse than what we had before Twitch Drops came along.

I got 2 consecutive chest upgrades the day after the last drop test. It's just variance.

That’s good to hear.

AFAIK Chest upgrades are pegged to a 10% rate. I doubt they'd go in and adjust that based on what is effectively a promotion. They're ramping for launch. Undercutting that ramp doesn't sound like something they'd do: DWD has historically designed FOR ftp'ers rather than against them.

I had a bronze to diamond upgrade and three forge chests upgrade from bronze to silver at the same time within the last day. Although, I recently bought the 7000 gem package, so maybe I'm just whitelisted ;)

I've actually been getting far more frequent chest upgrades since the Twitch Prime Booty. Granted that's probably due to me playing more frequently but still it debunks your theory.

Just to add to the discussion with my own anecdotal evidence. I've had the same experience as OP. The past few days I've had 1 chest upgrade out of close to 30.
