Celebrus Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Just hit 50 on my Sniper and his first four bags yielded a chest piece and a belt. Sweet! Can't complain about that. Regardless of whether or not I'm getting new pieces in each bag, I'm getting the commendations, which will eventually push me towards new gear anyhow.

Spades Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I look forward to your reaction when the next 15 bags have nothing in them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celebrus Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 I look forward to your reaction when the next 15 bags have nothing in them I highly doubt that is going to happen since they at least have commendations! If that was all I got from the next 15 I suppose I would have to cry a lot and then buy a piece of gear with the commendations from them. Still though, I'd probably keep coming back for more.

And then once you use them to get Centurion.... youll open a bag with an unassembled piece you just bought. Happened to me once and never again. But ya on average its about a 50% shot at getting a thing of Champion. Though you will get repeats. Rather annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koopababy Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 First four bags were comms. next 7/8 were all champ pieces and no duplicates. Wearing almost a full set of champ gear after one weekend at 50:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Assuran Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Meanwhile I have 3 belts, 2 legs, 2 implants, 2 relics, and 2 boots. In my last 10 bags, the only thing I got out of them was my third belt. Torian is hella geared now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arggonuts Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I went 36 bags straight without anything in it. That streak ended today with my 4th earpiece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sihayaa Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I look forward to your reaction when the next 15 bags have nothing in them Try 30. And you know what I said after 30 with no extra tokens? Nothing, because I had 90 commendations to trade in for loot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottschultz Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 The game has barely been out a month. How fast do you expect to get fully geared out? The faster that happens the faster you will get bored and quit. Have some patience and try to enjoy the journey and not just the destination.

The faster that happens the faster you will get bored and quit. Have some patience and try to enjoy the journey and not just the destination. Considering the random nature o f the entire bag thing is fail, there are people out there in full sets while others have opened tons of bags and barely even have anything to show for it. This whole "you get centurion tokens" excuse in attempt to placate is just as ridiculous. Finally starting to get pieces myself but now that I am well into the 40+ range while I've got guildies who nearly have a full set in just a few days is a little past discouraging.

The faster that happens the faster you will get bored and quit. Have some patience and try to enjoy the journey and not just the destination. People aren't asking to be geared out in a short time, they are asking for it not to be so random and not duplicate items you already have 5 of. How is it fair that someone puts in 10 times as much playtime as someone else and has a third of the gear? I'm not asking to be geared quick, I'm asking to not receive an ear piece 5 times without getting another piece of gear in 30+ bags. Centurion coms are nice sure... but it takes about 13 bags worth to get the main set items and thats if you dont receive duplicates in champ bags. Then come to find out when you buy a centurion chest piece, your next champ bag gives you a.... chest piece! Waste of a few hours of playtime.

yukirshiro Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) The game has barely been out a month. How fast do you expect to get fully geared out? The faster that happens the faster you will get bored and quit. Have some patience and try to enjoy the journey and not just the destination. Uh, plenty of people already are fully geared. How? Extreme luck. How ANYONE thought it was a good idea to make a PVP gearing system completely, 100% reliant on luck and nothing else boggles my mind. These people call themselves developers and command high salaries and they come up with THIS? It's like a bad joke. "Enjoy the journey" is rich in this context, where you can't enjoy the journey because you never have the faintest clue whether your hours spent today are going to get you anywhere at all or not.

Can you do the math of 50% there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Microtia Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 My friend hit 50 2 days before me and he's opened 25 bags to get 2 pieces of gear. I've opened 8 bags and gotten 6 items with no duplicates. RNG is dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Foy Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 It'd be nice if valor level affected the odds of getting a champ piece... Because I'm almost 50 valor with only 2 champ pieces. I see people who only started pvp'ing at 50 with almost full champion gear at valor 20. ***? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codename_Quincy Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 it's an obvious and annoying time sink. would make much more sense to just have all the bags have tokens so you could get what you want. an adjustment to the number of tokens would be in order but yeah. i've only got one bag and it was tokens. i can totally see myself going a solid year with no actual gear in the bags.

If you really hate pvping to get the loot so much there really isn't a point in pvping at all. It's supposed to be fun... thats what your doing it for, isn't it? You need valor ranks aways, don't think of it as a gear farm think of it as a valor farm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanngnjostr Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 ^ If you don't enjoy pvp then you don't need pvp loot. There is no grind. You get rewards for doing what you are going to be doing anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
