Void-Watch equipment drop rates.....

[Neofire]

Ok I'm confused about it, last night I was in an alli and we killed pil 5 times(fought 6 but people got lazy). So out of those 5 kills I got not one single piece of gear and we got max triggers and treasure hunter was high. My question is....why is like that? Did SE screw up the drop rates that bad so you would have to kill something 100 times to get a piece of gear?

And pil is no push over either

you didn't play much before abyssea came out, did you?


like it or not, droprates have long been shitty. abyssea was the exception to the rule. most of us loved it, but se seems to think we were wrong.

dunno what more to tell you other than no, it's not glitched.. that's how it is.. and we're "wrong" for wanting it any other way.

I've killed about 60-70+ VW NMs that drop bodies, not only have I personally got no body/top tier drops from them all but I can count the amount of bodies that did drop to anyone on the fingers of my 2 hands. Half of which went to people that couldn't even use them.

Did SE screw up the drop rates that bad so you would have to kill something 100 times to get a piece of gear?

Yes.

yes, welcome to voidwatch

[Dragoy]

Because time-sink is fun. \ö/

Right?

No. But that's how the game rolls, and always did. I don't like it, but I guess there is just something that makes it worth for people to endure this part of the game, and continue on.

but with the way void watch is set up, you can get FIVE TIMES AS MUCH LOOT! And by loot I mean useless logs and ores.

0\200 and counting on a juneo t3 body, ever kill with capped red

Welcome to Logs and Ores. These are the 99.99% drop that you'll be getting. If you are leveling WW or GS, it's great.

Killed Pil/Qilin over 100+ each and Kaggen ~50+ now and not a single usable gears for myself (I did get the amazing COR bullets but COR will never see the day of light as a job for me). Some metals too sure but who care about gil at this point in time. Welcome to PURE RANDOM drop, some ppl might get lucky and get it with 1 run, some might never ever get the gears that they want. THIS is the biggest problem with the drop system.

[Dragoy]

I still don't get it why not more systems like Einherjar, where one would always get something.

Even if it's not much, it's progress, instead of a lottery.
That aspect really might be the thing I dislike the most in the game.

Too much to do with /random...

yah, assault points or ampoules or dom notes or cruor or any other of the myriad types of space cash this game has floating around, granted a lot of these types of space cash can't be redeemed for much of anything good nowadays, but that could pretty easily change.

like.. why can't killing fafnir 15 times give me enough "fafnir credits" to exchange for a ridill or something? maybe from some old retired hunter who's just happy to see the torch being taken up. have him support all sorts of nm's. the exact numbers on credits per kill and credits per item are open to balancing.. just make it so it doesn't feel hopeless..

there yah go se.. i just plotted out your next update.
