Shadow Nerfed Lock Drops Are Ruining Temple Building

+1, any news on this? Because this is absolutely exhausting. GGG is really bad performing on this patch
Lost 20% of my half ready temple in 2 runs. I have 7 Spymaster III. No lock in the last run. To prevent more damage i placed every room i can but still lost 3 rooms of my snake. The second snake was lost some runs before. Still i am over 40 rooms but not much. To build a decent temple is the thing wath keeps me playing for the longest time now in POE2. It was the coolest league till now. The start was damn hardcore. I tryed to find everything out by my own about rooms but after some days i gave up. Then i investigated for some hours and startet to rebuild my temple. At that point 2 weeks where lost. I am not sad about that. But now i want to build a temple without crazy tech and want to say: it is finished. Plese dont take this from me and the other players.
I have the same thing, but I only noticed it two days ago. I finished my temple five days ago and was looting 3 locks and about 80 Divine Orbs from the floor. Two days ago, the locks stopped dropping att all and the Divine Orbs dropped to 25-39.

I created a Divine Orb drop table, and the number of rooms doesn't have much of an impact. When you have 55-60+ rooms, you get about 23-39 Divine Orbs on average. When you have 70+ rooms you get between 40 and 64...but I remember when I built the snake completely, my first run on it took 106 spheres from the floor!
up
cant build my temple cuz 3 run in a row without any lock.

Every time I think I'm closer to establishing a respectable temple, I learn something new and realize it probably won't ever happen this season.

i realized when i reach about 65+ room, the lock is drop less. Something really fishy here
they did many things hiddenly without any patchnotes or any info
just like reducing drop rates of recourses, for example omen of light... first they reduced mobs appearing, then they nerfed drop itself, now they reduced quantity of omens dropped- was 3 , now 1

shady guys
they need some hashtag #noshawdonerfs in every post i guess

It felt like there was a hidden nerf. Like, the more Spy rooms there were, the lower the chance of getting a medallion. Because when I had 2-4 rooms, I always got 1. When there were 10 rooms, there were 3-4 runs with no medallions.
