I've always said perfection is the enemy of progress - I can sit here forever fiddling with these numbers until I feel like it's 'good enough' but y'all have been waiting very patiently.
We're going live with some pretty inflated loot numbers. None of the drop chances are set up, so basically everything will drop in somewhat equal numbers.
The loot tables have been split up so 'normal' items are rolled separately from collectibles. This will make normal items appear much more often, as intended, rather than regular items struggling to appear due to rolling against ultra rare items.
Rare items are also pretty, well, not rare right now, so enjoy that while it lasts!
