As far as I’m concerned, CT town item drops are supposed to regenerate every 6-8 hours, letting us farm them every 6-8 hours again and again. Someone said they looted in the morning, and still no drops now, I looted 9 hours ago first, still no new drops(last looted item was 7 hours ago). Someone else said their last loot was 10 hours ago. Did that change on purpose, or is it broken?
Broken loot?

There was some optimization changes that unintentionally affected the spawn rates. We have reverted the update as of two hours ago, so the spawn rate and spawning mechanics should be back to normal (same as last year). As a compensation, … - Makkhoi [3652991]

That kind of sucks if this is true. Why nerf CT? This is my first year and only getting 10 drops per day kind of kills most of the fun. - CloudJumper [1636201] · 12 likes ·
By unintentionally, I meant that the optimization changes were never passed through me or Ched before implementation. This is the conversation from this morning, neither me nor Ched knew about the changes. We trust the developers enough to make necessary …
Makes sense. Might be possible. Though the best would be either a staff confirmation, or a reply that this is a bug that’s gonna be fixed. After all ~10 drops a day is instead of ~10 drops every 6-8 hours would be a huge change. They would have probably given it a bit more notice like: “another big change is that instead of 4 times a day, now you can only get item loot once a day” or so. It would be too big of a change and news to just hide it in the text

Idk but let's hope that's not the case and it's just some temporary bug
Facing the same issue, found a lot of loot on my first two daily runs, so far, but almost nothing after taking 8h breaks.
Which is completely different from how it worked for me in the previous years, so yes, an official confirmation would be nice.
Agree anecdotally that spawn rate is lower and spawn quality (more candy or alcohol, fewer cans) is lower than last year.
Same situation as Brother and lockup

Insane drop-rate right after reset and nothing since then (my average loot value went from 700k in 2024, to ~500k this year)
would be nice to know for sure if things actually changed or it's just RNG
Adding to say that a few faction members and I have also noticed that we're not getting any new drops.
Ok...Im having the same issue. my event timer is 15;45...logged into CT yesterday around then...found loot like normall, took a break found a few more items in the afternoon, took another break 1 lingering item that musta been left over & nothing else for the rest of the night....figure i must be tapped out for the day even though thats not how its ever worked in the past....Wake up today to run around CT at my event start time still 0 items....Its deff broken & deff not resetting at new day.....so what do i do now?....Look forward to this all year. & Happy Holidays to all..;D
Had somewhat similar findings, I was trying again and again after the last loot I got at new day reset, but no luck since then which was 14 hours ago and I definitely roamed for more than 30 minutes or so too. So what I got was 13 items as event started, no items after that. Then the new day started and then I got 13 items and no items since then
Still doesn’t drop for me, it’s Bern 8 hours since drop, but it seems that it might be either daily and you got some lucky exception, or it’s not daily but every 12 hours or more.(and the daily reset). Honestly this is only getting more and more confusing XDD. I really hope we get staff reply soon
No new drops since 16-17h? That’s crazy
"yo we nerfed drops because f**k new players"
Yes, nerf confirmed. Two days into the event, no keys, no combination chests, no respawn after 6-8 hours.
As newspaper mentioned, probably a daily reset going forward.
I got 12 items yesterday and 13 today (with 24% spawn drop enhancement).
It is definitely a daily limit.
It feels odd to nerf this, because so many players spend hours and hours on making CT maps, and if there is less loot from solving them, less people will do it.
Look harder? :)
Ched we want loot please.
