    Orange bundles are pretty rare high level drops (I've gotten 3 in all my years of playing) and as such this isn't right. Note this was from R58 test server but I assume the same probability exists in current production.

    But have you tried that apple pie?
    Ok jokes aside, It'd be nice if its going to be random that it pull from a higher tier chart. I don't think the bundles will ever not be governed by RNG. However it would be nice to get better food and items that may be of use to someone at higher levels.

    Ive opened a few orange bundles, and all have been junk - I believe I even opened a bug on it.

    I've always felt like bundles were a double lottery. The first lottery is getting one. The second lottery is getting anything valuable from it.

    The bundles should have a guaranteed item of interest, relative to their level.

    I'm sorry to say you're hunting in the wrong spots if you've only gotten three bundles... try Lost Vale, Control Points, Sieges, hilt fortress, Necropolis, Skrekk, The Rise, Hilt, etc etc etc...

    With how bundles work, you just need to open more of them. With grey, you open a ton before anything decent drops. Yellow a little less, etc...

    Also I *think* the drop rate for them is dependent on how many are in circulation.

    Hilt? What drops orange bundles in Hilt?

    Or Skrekk and Necropolis? I don't remember anything boss-level in either of those.

    I've spent plenty of time in Lost Vale, Skrekk, The Rise and Sieges... All 3 bundles dropped from Cabalist in sieges. Never have seen one in any of the other locations you mention. My complaint isn't the drop rate it is the trash that seems to be in them. It would be nice if @Chris would verify the loot tables for the orange bundles.

    I don't disagree that the sample size is low. If I had more I would open more but everyone I know that has opened them felt like they were worse than yellow bundles. Maybe on a livestream, they could spawn 10-20 of each type into their inventory and open them live so we can gauge content.

    You can relyably see the loot from all bundles in offline mode. They each drop multiple artifacts when opened. Blue and orange have seceral higher tier artifacts that do not drop in yellow bundles.

    Welcome to the day you find out blue bundles gives better loot than orange bundles.

    True story, sadly.

    OK THROWDOWN @Chris

    Please generate about 100 Orange bundles and open them during the live stream so we can see what comes out of them as proof they aren't just a giant pile of fail. PLLLLEASE...I'd actually toon in to see that.

    Oh and yeah. I'm calling Shenanigans on anyone that claims they are getting orange bundles in some farm-able rate. The API says differently.

    I real quesiton: What could they put in yellow, blue, orange that would made you happy to get them but not ruin the game?

    yellow - 50 random ore
    blue - 200 random ore
    Orange - 500 random ore

    No clue the impact that would have but I want them to NOT SUCK but also dont want them so good they wreck the game.

    Anything better than just two or three freaking food items, at the very least. The few times I've splurged on an orange or blue, I too often get some seriously bad luck.

    That would be quite fun to see. If not 100, then whatever takes up 15-20 minutes.

    I like how they made bosses drop more gems. I think having a number of gems drop regularly at least
