Total looting - 200+ games (Used anatonomous probe a lot for losses)
I loot 6 times per win / Loss (with probe)
Total Purples found … 1 T2 item.
So 1 Purple in 200 Loots is a ratio of .05% Chance…
Purple Loot Drop chance needs to be increased to say… 3% or 5% or something… Maybe that’s what it is already is… If so it should be increased to 7% or 10%. There is clearly something wrong with these numbers and drop rates.
I’d been playing pretty solid for a straight week, and have had 2 purple loot drops from PVP (180 wins x 5 chances per win = 900 chances / 2 purple loot = 450 loots to 1 purple) and 1 purple loot drop from Scenario. All three were loot drops that I cannot use, as they do not fit with the ship and setup I fly.
This is with 5 chances to loot per win. Since my license has now expired and I only have 3 chances to loot now, it’s going to increase to something like 1 purple every 150-200 games. Or about 3-4 purples a month at 150 PVP games a week. (150 PVP games per week is about 18-25 hours of playing, not everyone, especially those of us with jobs, can even play that much.) For those of us with a life outside of the game, it’s going to be more like 1 purple a month.
If that.
That does seem incredibly low to me.
In order to fully fit just one ship with purple gear, assuming I get exactly all the drops I need, I’ll have to play this game for at least 13 months, a little over a year. More realistically I’m looking at 2-3 years to get a set up like that. Not my cup of tea, thanks. Star Citizen would be done by then. So would a lot of other games, like Destiny, a new elder scrolls game, etc. etc. I only have so much time to play something like Star Conflict.
Alright so its not just me then, Can a dev please respond to this and comment on what if anything is going to be done about the loot drop rate “For Purples”?
Maybe they are using a completely RNG system then, Either way the drop rate should be increased in my opinion. a month to get a purple is too long and will get extremely boring and tedious playing simply to farm purples so you can be competitive with those who got lucky and got tons of purples in a few games.
During my time in T1 I got 3 purple loots. Since I’ve been in T2, which is longer than I spent in T1, I’ve had 0. And I’ve had significantly less green drops too. They said they increased the loot drop chance a few patches ago… I feel like they reduced it.
