We are losing weekend objectives, because it's insulting to cash in the Victory pack to receive what receive normally for playing for 30 minutes. Give us some kind of incentive to actually complete a community objective.

But yeah, you're right. This is the first game I've witnessed where a company has repeatedly adjusted things. That's the real killer of this game. Not the store, or anything else.

I think its a combination.  You cannot earn good stuff - you do not get what you pay for.  I give no cares for ammo mods or any of that other garbage.  Pay for consumables - get randomly dicsconnected?  I don't think so. I am only interested in good weaponry and bonus equipment items.  None of these drop with any consistency after spending a LOT of cash.  Its insulting.

On top of that, what you do earn will be taken away from you in the form of a nerf.   So some moron notices that we use elite weapons, and not the junk ones.  So they nerf the elites, buff the junk ones - and we have a vicious cycle of **** devs trolling players.  It takes very little time before it gets tiring. 

So people leave in droves - tired of being trolled by devs that hate us.  Weekend objectives give you guns that suck, and will be nerfed, and are not the ones you want anyhow.  Its all just developer trolling. 

Take the group that is nerfing this stuff.  Fire them.  Reverse ALL the nerfs, and the smurfs.  Then things will be back to right.  Make them stop trolling us.  Nothing changes in the game week to week but the trolling and nerfing.  Fire these people who are fixing what's not broken,   Fix the glitches and bugs in this trash game for a change instead of screwing the players over.

But, they don't care.  They will just nerf and nerf and nerf, oblivious.  There will be ZERO players, and these moronic tards will still be nerfing guns.  All because they can't get it right and leave it alone, refuse to test their gear, and listen to whiners.

I do not care so much about how good a weapon is - because we are still able to beat platinum with the leftovers. I do care though about having them all regardless of quality.
I also do care about me being unable to max out my manifest because the ****ty algorithm is flawed.

I fully agree though that uninteresting rewards are game killers.

This is a prime example. And bioware is not even responding to any of the multiple threads about ****ty drop rates.
Simply said:

I wont pay 99k (= 66% plat run, ~18 minutes) to get two level IV ammo.

After realizing that i reduced my playing time to a minimum.

Well done BW. You never disappointed me, but this time you messed up big time.

[freemyheart]

What Tonymac and rka001 replied with pretty much sums up why many people are leaving this game.

I just want my last gear drop so I can for some reason start saving up credits so I can put myself through the same b.s. process when/if the next mp DLC drops.

Hopefully that last Earth DLC "Ultra-Rare" Gear drop will happen today, preferably before my N7 passes 11,000.

What is your average drop rate of rare earth gear? How many PSPs per drop?

That's what everyone says. But then I look at your manifest.

In the RARE non-Gear Earth DLC item drops (2 weapons, 5 weapon mods, 6 characters), you are 27 for 69 (39%)
In the Earth DLC so-called "Uncommon" and "Rare" Gear drops, you are 11 for 55 -- or one for 5 (20%)

When you say that you are getting your "earth gear regularly now", what do you mean? Because to me, it looks like you're getting it as often as everyone else does.

Well, everyone but -Scythe- and those that have spent 40,000,000+ credits.

You will level every single Rare item in the game (including the Earth DLC non-gear items), as well as the Uncommons -- long before you level up your Earth DLC so-called "Uncommon" and "Rare" items.

You will probably level your Typhoon to X before you have all of the Earth DLC so-called "Uncommon" and "Rare" gear drops. By then, the Typhoon will be as worthless as the Javelin because it will have several more nerfs attached to it.

That is, unless Bioware does the right thing and finally responds to this 17-page long thread and fixes the drop rates for the Earth DLC Gears -- or reclassifies them as Ultra-Rares and upgrades them to the drop rates that Ultra-Rares drop at.

[rka001]

Well, they dont respond because

a) they know sth is wrong, but they are unable to fix it.

or

they implemented this as a feature, deliberately increasing the timesink.

Mine? I have spent at least 40,000,000 credits and need one more drop of Earth DLC so-called "Rare" gear. So, someone else can do that math. Most (nearly all of it) of those 40,000,000 credits were spent by alternating between SP, then PSP, then SP, then PSP. Vet packs don't do anything for me. You can see how many of those I've bought by looking at my manifest as I literally haven't used level II consumables in months. I rarely use level IV consumables.

My drop rate for Earth DLC Gears has been especially pitiful. Maxed out my URs a couple of weeks ago -- including my Typhoon  from the Earth DLC -- yet I can't level up the so-called Rare "Combatives Upgrade" Earth DLC Gear to V if I spend FORTY MILLION CREDITS?
This game makes me laugh:lol:

Either way, they should acknowledge it. And if the answer is B, then they should simply reclassify as Ultra-Rare and be honest about it.

[megawug]

Yeah, I've found it odd too. I've been buying SPs (instead of PSPs), and was getting a good rate of gear drops a week or so ago. In the last week, I've got almost entirely ammo drops, and I still have lots of uncommon gear that isn't maxed.

Maybe it's just a RNG thing, but I thought all uncommons had the same drop rate. Maybe someone at BW needs to double check that there isn't a bug of so kind in the store.

[rka001]

Agreed.
But as open and communicative as BW normally is about many topics, it totally upsets me how they wont say a single f.ing word about that issue.

Your manifest looks exactly like so many others.....maxed out everything, healthy dose of URs, but unable to attain those pesky gears.

Personally, I don't mind it so much, as I enjoy playing/tinkering with the different character classes and not really into "acquiring stuff".  But still, one gear for every pack or three wouldn't hurt.

well, I just got back from a month long holiday and started playing 2 days ago.
Earth gear was in most of my PSPs since I started playing.
Maybe it's just an illusion, iunno been pretty tired. :S

^This.

I also see some pattern in drop rates, and it changed several times. After Earth DLC, i received mostly Earth Gear, but rarely, while still missing most of the previous gear. After they changed the gear drop rates, i started to receive pre Earth rare gear from PSPs, So now i have most of it, but the earth gear drop rate is still low.
Another observation, is that after the drop rate fix, i received Level I of most earth gear in quick succession, even before i had some pre-earth gear at any level, but after that level I i never received anything else.

I think you misunderstand. We are talking about Earth DLC Gears, not Earth DLC items.

You currently have 10 of the 55 (18%) so-called "Uncommon" and "Rare" Earth DLC Gear drops

Meanwhile, you have the "Ultra-Rare" Earth DLC Typhoon to level II. Yet, you have not even unlocked two of the so-called "Uncommon" Earth DLC Gears, and you have not unlocked one of the so-called "Rare" Earth DLC Gears.

Lastly, you have unlocked 69 of 69 "Rare" Earth DLC non-Gear item (2 weapons, 5 weapon mods, 6 characters) drops.

smh.

Do me a favor. Come back and quote your comment every time you level one of your Ultra-Rare weapons to X. When you level your so-called "Rare" Earth DLC Gears to V, you can stop.

You have the Typhoon at III, yet only have the Shock Trooper Upgrade (Earth DLC so-called "Rare" Gear) at II.

You may have spent millions getting the gears, but that doesn't change the fact that the drop rates are garbage compared to other "Rare" items in your manifest  -- of which you have maxed all of while still needing 7 of the so-called "Rare" Earth DLC Gear drops.

You should have maxed out the "Rare" Earth DLC Gear drops when you maxed out the other "Rare" Earth DLC items. Weeks ago.

they used to be way worse the URs but the past few days (maybe i'm lucky) they've dropped alot. I've gotten about 10 in the past few days on about 1 millioin creds while only getting 1 UR

[-Scythe-]

I wonder if I will be able to max all gear before URs...

Hopefully that drop rate stays the same for you. Would like nothing than to suddenly be wrong in my accusation that the drop rate is messed up, because that will mean Bioware will have finally addressed the issue.

That and someone might actually win the contest. You would think that if the gear drop rates were accurate -- while also factoring 20 of the 55 drops are supposedly "Uncommon" that someone would be able to win the prize. 55/55 vs 69/69, yet no one can win.

Pretty freaking obvious to everyone on this forum with a brain.

i used to think the same but right now all i ahve left to unlock is

0 uncommon gear
7 rare gear
40 URs


So i'm thinking that i will have gear 1st. also i'm thinking my UR luck is horrible lol

[-Scythe-]

Well I actually believe I can, because if you check my manifest, I lack a lot of the gear, but all my URs are very low still (except for that DAMN scorpion!) and I think the gear will fill faster (check my pictures xD then you will believe it).
