Ritual-Feedback on Drop Rates for Ritual After Patch 0.1.1

GGG,

I wanted to provide some feedback regarding the drop rates for Ritual mechanics following Patch 0.1.1. Prior to the update, grinding Rituals for 16–18 hours a day felt rewarding, as I could consistently obtain 4–6 Omens or "Audience with the King" invitations during extended sessions.

Since the patch, however, I've noticed a sharp decline in both Omens and invitations. Yesterday, I completed over 200 maps, yet I only saw two "Audience with the King" invitations in the first hour of play and none afterward. Today, I’ve already run another 50 maps, but still haven’t found any invitations or Omens of significant value.

To provide additional context:
- My friend and I farmed over 400 maps yesterday. Including rerolls, this equates to 800 attempts, yet we only obtained two "Audience with the King" invitations.
- Both of us have fully allocated all eight Atlas points into Ritual and are exclusively running T15–T18 maps with maximum mods and corruption.
- There also seems to be an issue with Divine Orb drops. While I may find one or two within the first two hours of gameplay, the drop rate seems to diminish significantly after that.

Other guild members have echoed similar experiences, which suggests this might not be an isolated issue.

While I appreciate the grind inherent to the game, the current drop rate feels disproportionately low. Spending 18 hours and completing 400 maps without encountering a single worthwhile reward detracts from the enjoyment and sense of progression. I suspect there may be an unintended bug or imbalance introduced with Patch 0.1.1 that is impacting Ritual drops, and I would greatly appreciate it if your team could investigate further.

Thank you for your time and attention. I look forward to hearing from you regarding this matter.

Sincerely,
Ironhide69

Additional Findings

I’m now about 300 maps in again and haven’t found a single invitation or Omen worth anything. I think I’m done with this endgame mechanic. I’m not sure what’s going on, but I’ve now completed well over 700 maps with no worthwhile drops, and it feels bad. This only started happening after Patch 0.1.1.

My observations seem to be validated by the fact that the prices of 'Audience with the King' and other expensive Omens are skyrocketing. A decrease in their drop rates would naturally cause this. I hope this feedback is helpful.
