Low Gear Drop Rates - Glitch or Intentional? Something's Not Right

Surely there is something wrong with the gear drop rates. I had no issue getting my rare gears maxed through Operative Package on the manifest. However, the rest of the gears, especially the uncommons, elude me.

Now I'm VERY lucky if I get a gear in 1 out of every 5 PSPs. Keep in mind that all of my rare weapons, weapon mods, and character customizations are maxed. How is it that so many people are maxing their rare gears through Operative Package and then finding it so hard to max out the others? Something is not right. Check out the order of gear unlocks in the majority of manifests if you don't believe me. Gears do not seem to be unlocked in a completely random order and the drop rates taper off at some point (or possibly they tapered off after a BioWare change made shortly after the release of the Earth DLC). Something is not right, especially when these so-called uncommon or rare gears drop less frequently than ultra rares! Just ask freemyheart, who spent around 28 million credits, maxed out his ultra rares, and still has a number of gears to unlock.

I hope BioWare addresses the ridiculously low drop rate of gears, or, if the drop rate is intentional, it would be nice to know.

I know he's been having a fun time getting lv 4 consumables like I am, It's been non stop for a lot of people. I have been getting uncommon gear to drop a little better in vet packs since SP and SPS seem to be a complete waste of time. I have contacted Bioware about the constant drops of lv 4 consumables and it seems to be nothing wrong with the store to them.

The new Gear drop rates are insanely low. In my experience The Earth DLC gear is harder to obtain than Ultra-Rare weapons. The rarity designations of "Uncommon" and "Rare" for this stuff are a joke.  1 Gear in every 4 PSPs would be very lucky.  The drops haven't even been close to that frequent for me.

Whether this is intentional or not, I have no idea.

Yeah. I agree. I've nearly maxed out all of my rares, have a few URs at decent levels, and some of my uncommon gears are still at I.

I'll direct people to my own manifest whilst pointing out that those rare gears that I have maxed out I maxed out AFTER the Earth DLC thus had the entire pool to select from. Naturally unlocked with PSPs too.

I think this is becuause they share the same drop rate with lv3/4 consumables.

I don't hate Lv4 Ammos, actually it's OK ( I am a promoting lover I prefer character cards more, but I understand how other people hate character cards. So I agree Lv4 ammo is a good solution to replace character card)

However, don't you think there should be a max number of all consumables?

We have max 255 with missiles and Med-gels, why we don't have a max for ammos?

Per 5 med-gels can be repalced as one level 1 consumable equipmets in JEP, for the limitation of equipemnts at least should be 255/5=51

Since this is level 4, may be control the max number of 20-25 sounds reasonable.

It is the best way to slove this gear not dropping issue.

For Ammo lover, you can continue collect you useful equipments while you used them.

For others, we can sure get gears after the consumable reach the max limitation.

And for everyone, this doesn't matter with any UR dropping rate, people still need to by PSP for their UR collection.

Everybody is happy.




Wait, what will happen someone by PSP get all gears and reach the max limitation of lv 4 ammos?

Nevermind, give them gold character cards again to punish them don't use their consumables. Just keeping using them you won't be in this trouble.

It's the new Earth DLC Gears that seem to be the problem.  Not necessarily ALL Gears.  You have no new Gear higher than Level 2.

Yeah - the new Earth gear is a pain in the arse to get.

I only have one - Uncommon or Rare that's above 2 - and that's Combatives(meh).

I got to that point too but then I switched to vet packs and theuncommon gear started to drop more. I did max out some of the old one but did get some new one too.

I swear... I unlocked URs at a faster rate than I can unlock the new gear. It's pretty frustrating.

They most certainly do not. I've been consistently getting level IV consumbales and very few gear upgrades. And considering the number of people that are having the same "luck" as me, I'm pretty sure there's an issue.

I maxxed out the uncommons just by buying a lot of veteran packs, the SP and PSP packs give out uncommons less often than the ultra rare.

Besides, you get 5 veteran packs for the price of a PSP.

I think the problem is that there are 4 new uncommon gear, but it shares the same slot chance as the ammo and other equipment, which are in *significantly* higher abundance. This is where probability sticks its tongue out at us. >.>;

same here. All URs maxed, even the new ones from Earth and the week before (Typhoon & PR) - still not even have some of the new gear at lvl 1. Especially the uncommon gear should be renamed to "unattainable"...

Uncommon gear unlocking may be helped by purchasing Veteran Packs, but they still take ridiculously long to unlock for "uncommon" items. Now wait until you try to get the rest of those "rare" gears on your manifest. Someone suggested calling them "legendary" instead.

Since you thought all the lv4 consumables as one same useless unit.

Actually there are lots different type lv 4 consumables. If you only focus on one particular type Ammo, you will find it is also quite hard to get something you want.

Of course I also hate the gear drop rate now....I want gears, more gears....

There are 7 different Rare gear from Earth DLC and 7 different types of Level IV ammo.  If they had the same drop rate, you'd be getting Rare gear as often as you get Level IV ammo, which is clearly not what happens.

OK... But I'm talking about the drop rate for a "genre" of unlockables (gears) rather than the drop rate for a specific type of level IV consumable.

I completely agree. All of my URs are maxed too and I am finding gold gear very rare indeed-about 1 every 3 days-but silver gear is not that bad I have been getting one every 4 or so PSPs.

I tried for awhile to actually get them, and finally gave up. The only uncommons to drop for me are ammo and weapon consumables. I can't even remember the last time I got an actual piece of gear. I have all the RARE gears maxed, but the uncommons I barely have any. Fortunately I have the shield gear at IV, and that's usually the one I use, so eh.

I think I see ultra rares more nowadays than I do uncommon gear...

But, of course, the suggestion that something might be wrong with their hallowed store is practically blasphemy to Bioware, so please don't say that...
