Liver Drop Rate Reduced in v.177?

Any other Shades feeling like the rate at which livers drop has been reduced in the last patch?

I used to be able to maintain Spirit Bond max almost indefinitely while training or throughout dojo. After the v.177 patch I've been having a lot more issues maintaining it. Livers seem to be either dropping less frequently, or the duration it extends it by has been reduced some. Anyways just making this thread to see if any other Shades are getting similar symptoms.

Some things that changed in v.177 that could've caused this:

1) We now have the buff duration counter in seconds when a buff is under a minute. Maybe this is somehow the reason for it?

2) Fox Spirits orbs now change their path target to another monster if the monster it was originally going to dies.

Maybe this is just me being crazy, but I noticed whenever shades first got the change to spirit bond max and livers started dropping to extend its duration that without fox spirits toggled on, liver drops seemed noticeably less. If that was actually the case, maybe the change to fox spirits path finding change messed it up in some way?

Let's all post on this. I feel like the liver drop rate has been reduced. Thanks @lycanthropods for posting!

Also go ahead and add that nexon thread to the main basil thread.

Yeah I noticed when I was doing gollux that I can't really charge my hyper to be more than a minute anymore, they don't drop as repeatedly as they did. perhaps a ninja nerf?

@originspecs: I don't know if I am glad or upset that I am not the only one.. Glad to know I am not going crazy, but also kinda upset that it's not on my own end so I can have at least some hope of having it fixed. Leaving it in the hands of Nexon is never a good thing..

Yea, my friend and I also feel the same way. We both clear dojo in a pretty decent time and we used to have Spirit Bond Max the entire duration of dojo but now we run out here and there. Even while farming with Bomb Punch it still doesn't help either.
