Hamlet defense feedback from a top 20 provisioner: Critical problems and solutions

[Matsume]

Is there any correlation between the drop rate and the point totals?

I was thinking the same thing... o.o

I've heard a theory (I believe it was Thevedis'):

<10k = 1 drop
10k-?? = 2 drops

Dunno about after that. I can confirm these numbers though as within those ranges I've seen exactly that amount of Dark Matter drop every time. I'm thinking it's like Primals, either Dark Matter or Gear.

Edit: As for the actual % chance drop rate itself, I have no idea.

People regularly broke 40,000 points and got less than those at 10,000 points. This is central to the issue, lol.

100% true, but the problem is, the drop rate is so low, most have yet to see or even confirm a drop from the chest

ive now gone 30 runs with no drops from the chest at all, almost all at 10k+ points

[Duuude007]

Drop rate of something other than trash from captain: ~ 25% [top 20 exclusive]
Drop rate of something other than trash from chest: ~ 0%

again, this is the problem we are referring to, lol.

I think there may be some correlation. I was wondering if you have a top 20 contributor (3000 points), plus you beat the level 2 boss (3000 points), plus your frontline was unbreached (1500 points), and maybe a few more high point value occurrences, if the rest of the party would have better chances.

Those factors get you over 30k. With some added effort in speed and other stuff, our ls was frequenting 40k scores. Zero items to date from the chest, regardless.

ouch! not cool SE. The first one may have been my last hamlet defense until this is fixed.

im not having my team go back in unles we have multiple top 20s

that way we can share the drops we get and get them much more often


luckily, we are a LS group who is willing to do that

I won't risk the loss of gil, personally. Maybe after the other two open up, so there is a better chance to make it into the top 20, but not before then.

Also, multiple top 20s, as far as I can see from the data I have, don't count for more points than a single top 20 in your group would.
