Killed Chaos Vellum but only got 3 drops

So we killed Chaos Vellum.

But there were some odd occurrences with the drop perhaps someone could shed light upon...

-First being that a couple of us saw absolutely nothing drop. No pots/weps/coins... NADA!
-Second being that only three equips managed to drop at all, and they all dropped for one person.
Is it that CVel is not like the other bosses and doesn't have instanced drops? And assuming so my friend just happened to pick up what we got. (we decided to split profit ofc)
Or is it that we just had bad luck that none of us got drops besides him? Lol.

Wow seriously? don't you think that 3 [b]fafnir weapons[/b] isn't enough for a full party of six in a run? There's a lot of mesos there to split dude, this system is beyond better than the two of before. (Old drop system, and giving 8 weapons for everyone).

when we first killed it 5 weeks ago we got ~8 equips on x1
now we kill it on x6 drop lucky to get 5 equips.
they definitely changed the drop rate

@Redadin Equips/weapons are not guarantee drops. On 2 of my runs I didn't get any drop but others did, totally normal I guess.

[quote=ProHealer]Was everyone alive in the group when it was killed? He has dropped weapons for multiple people whenever we killed him but it's not uncommon to see 0 weapons drop for one person.[/quote]

I suppose this makes sense. Some people died just when he did, and the others must have gotten nothing.
Thanks to all.

EDIT: @silverphoenix is right anyone that isn't alive when it's killed will not get any drops

[quote=Redadin]We did it last night right before the patch. So I'm not worried. And we killed the others and got instanced drop a few days previously.

@SilverPhoenix

A couple people were, but not everyone.
Is it that for CVon Bon and CVel that if you're dead at the moment it dies (even if not out of lives) you lose out on drops?[/quote]

Yep that's how it works. You need to revive right before he dies otherwise no drops

[quote=NaakteShadow]Hey! I know from my brother, this happens often (the light beam and drops).. I saw him duoing Vellum and this is suppose to happen.
The drops are the same for him, his Bish got nothing, he got nothing and his friend got only 2 items.. Then he shared one equip with him.
Ps, I only need to kill reg Vellum and Pierre a few times now, I can enter Queen and Von Bon now [/quote]

Wait, Sterre. Your brother duo's Chaos Vellum?

from experience with CRA bosses I believe those who do the most effort and die the least amount of times in CRA get the loot. the shared party loot is now gone.

[quote=SlyOne]But what if they fixed the whole instanced drop rate thing intentionally? Just like they hadn't let us known about it.[/quote]

Were the people who got no drops dead? That could explain why
