With the release of 4.2 gazelleskin treasure maps have been awesome. The canals opened about 90% of the time, we would make it all the way through at least once based on our RNG luck. A couple hours later we would have loot, 500k gil and 2-300 tombstones of mendacity.

I feel with these recent patches and hotfixes the numbers were played with. Our canal portal openings immediately dropped to 40-50% and even then we barely made it into the canals. I believe I got us the furthest to floor 5.

Tonight was miserable. 16 maps. One canal opening. Made it to floor 3. We burned through some thief maps but didn't make it that far in (which is to be expected).

I understand RNG, and that whatever algorithm SE is using is absolute garbage. Failing 95% four times in a row on a tree? You hear that story way too much for how improbable it is.

So. Has my group just had bad luck these last two weeks, or are people seriously noticing a drop in how often you get canals and how often doors open to the next floor?
