Did GGG stealth nerf STRONGBOXES last few days?

Been running boxes for a week straight and for the last few days.. I drop.. ALMOST NOTHING.
The most valuable thing I see is 1xDIV in 10-15 T17 190% currency map..
I dont even run Containment anymore because it is just not worth it.. it is only worth running Containment if you run full group.

So now if you count out 1DIV dropping every 10-15 T17 maps the most valuable stuff I drop are SCARABS that are like 30C TOPS.. and ONE per map lol.
Plus a bunch of 0.2C to 1C scarabs.

This is pain.. I feel there is nothing cool to farm anymore in maps.
I guess the best strat would be to eighter gamble DIV cards or do BOSS runs cause they were not nerfed.


edit: Like my MAPPERS are bringing in MORE value then me busting my ass doing 8mod corrupted currency or scarab T17 maps.. this makes no sense.



edit2:

I just finished a T17 Fortress with 244% QUANT, 154% RARITY, 63% PACK SIZE, 103% CURRENCY, 189% SCARABS and had WILDWOOD spawn giving me 3136 BLUE, 4604 PURPLE juice.

I cleared the map to spawn all the altars then started to open all the boxes.
Here is my video AND instantly showing what all the items sold and.. 87 CHAOS ORBS... thats my profit if you take out map cost, scarab cost and map device cost.

No joke here. There is more loot from mappers than doing it by yourself.

Best currency farming strat by far in 3.2.7 is feeding 8 mod corrupted red maps to your kingsmarch mappers. Get the gold for the mappers by doing whatever.

Send mappers to do a tier 9 yellow map --> get 2 chaos

Do 10x tier 9 maps yourself --> lucky to get 1 chaos

Good game

It's rng. Like almost everything in poe.

One map you'll make enough currency to fuel next 4 maps, the other you're below the investment. Assuming your're doing containment T17 which is propably the best currency strategy for mapping.

haha imagine when i cleared yesterday a t17 citadel with 550% currency with containment and got zero S tier loot.

joke of a game.

I just finished my last STRONGBOX map WITH containement scarab.

Map before netted me 3xDIV, 1xCONTAINEMENT and grand total of 481C profit. It had 195% QUANT, 166% RARITY, 50% PACK SIZE, 366% CURRENCY, 78% MAPS, 78% SCARABS.

Next map had 147% QUANT, 81% RARITY, 43% PACK SIZE, 218% CURRENCY, 172% SCARABS.
And this netted me a WHOPPING 25 CHAOS... LOSS! I lost money lol...

So if next map will be profitable again it will still AVERAGE out to about the same I get WITHOUT the Containement scarab..

Its so messed up. There is nothing to do in endgame.. I am STUCK in Fortress and the only things I am picking up are 1C scarabs and some 1-5 chaos orb worth of random currency... and IM OK IF THIS would be like.. every 2 or 3 maps out of 10.. but THIS IS 9.9 MAPS OUT OF 10.

This is suppose to be fun?


edit:

LAST MAP.... LAST!!!
I went on trade, BOUGHT a nice 336% Currency map 116% quant, paid 250CHAOS for the map.
206% QUANT, 148% RARITY, 61% PACK SIZE, 495% CURRENCY when I cleared the map and started opening boxes. NO ALTARS spawned.

INVESTMENT: 450CHAOS

RETURN LOOT - 104C.......... NOT, A, SINGLE, DINK.
aka lost 346C

Yea im done. I will try some other strats that Fubgun is doing but Strongboxes are just a total waste of time. With or without Containment scarab.



edit2: Nevermind, opened some stacked decks ANOTHER The Apothecary 42DIV.
I got 1 on DAY1 of league from stacked decks, 2nd one on day2 from stacked decks, gambled them to full set and sold them for a mirror.

I thought that was it.. guess the game has changed.. so now if you need money just buy stacked decks..

edit3: PRICE OF DEVOTION also from stacked decks.. 22DIV..
Why do I even play at this point lol, straight up buy stacked decks and profit

Keep in mind here are people who play this game for multiple leagues, sometimes the same content as always. I think looking at his profile he knows that very well.

Not to mention that last league with ABYSS I was CONSTANTLY making MINIMUM 1200Chaos per T17 juiced map up to 2500-3000Chaos every, single, MAP!

Strongbox was worse but NOT THIS BAD..
