Veiled Orb

In the last league the calculation was 3 Catarinas for 1 Orb.
In this League I've already made 15 Catarinas and no Orb

Has anyone else noticed the change? It was in the patch notes and I didn't see it?

Peronally, went around 80-90 Cata's since 3.25 began and only had a single Veiled Orb drop... but inb4 forum brown-nosers put in their two cents saying that loot is fine.
So now that we have PoE2, GGG needs to revert the nerfs to 'slow down' PoE1.

Never forget the great Alt Qual Gem deletion, the Ex > Div swap and loss of various crafting methods. Bring back Fire Nova Mine!

That's called probability.

Let's assume (only GGG knows)
True probability [1 veiled orb drops / 1 Caterina kill] = 1/3 = p

P[0 veiled orb drops / 15 Caterina kills] = p^0*(1-p)^15 (binomial distribution) = 0.00228.

So approximately 2 out of 1000 people would get such a drop rate. And of course only the edge cases will be posted on the forum.

Now let's assume:
True probability [1 veiled orb drops / 1 Caterina kill] = 1/4 = p
P[0 veiled orb drops / 15 Caterina kills] = 0.01336.

That means at least 1 person on 100 people will get 0 orbs after 15 Caterina kills.

but that's what I'm saying, that the probability has been changed for the worse.

Do you mean to tell me that 17 catarinas and not dropping 1 orb is correct?

Yes. For the same reason people can fight 5 Catarinas and drop 5 orbs. That's how RNG without fail-safe works.

Do you think how long does it take to make 20 Catarinas?
Do, and see if it's fair.
