45 cxp levels zero set items.

[Fardarter]

This is getting a little out of hand.

[Balamb]

 

30 cxp levels - one set item.

 

Is there any information available about the chances to get a set item? Are those chances increasing with command level etc.? And in case if not, why is Bioware keeping this information hidden?

[Eshvara]

33, 1 set piece! I bet this new fix they're going to implement will stop people from getting duplicates. As if that makes a difference when people rarely get a set bonus piece. Edited December 14, 2016 by Eshvara

50 boxes between 2 toons +4 that were rolled back - 1 upgrade. :eek:

 

u know there is a LOT topics like this right? why does everyone need to start a new one? lol:D:D

[Nothing_Shines]

90 crates across three toons sharing the same discipline: 2 set pieces.

 

I'm about ready to blow my brains out it's so *********** awful.

[StarkHelsing]

I actually feel bad for people who have this terrible luck. It needs to be changed so you can swap DvL tokens for gear - and more chances to earn DvL tokens so you can maker the best of it.

 

I personally have good luck with these. Level 20 with two pieces of set, and 230 purple weapons.

[JPryde]

51 CL, 3 set items... unfortunately it was the boots all three times

 

On my twink: gaining lvl 70+1 CL by completing a chapter -> instant set item

 

I wouldn't mind the rarity of set items, but I really hate the duplicates (especially since I can already craft better mods and enhancements than the 230 stuff)

Just think. For only a continued payment of $15 a month you can continue the garbage design bw created known as GC with RNG gearing for another 255 more levels and all while doing extremely old content and some watered down FP (using old assets) called uprisings.

 

OH and for a few more dollars, you can make the grind go just a small fraction bit faster with CXP boosts off the real money cash shop.

 

Thats your expansion once the story is done.

!@$%! RNG. Can be very frustrating. Same as with the NS casino event, I believe they should include some mechanism that guarantees a useful piece after a certain number of crates. Some type of currency that you can eventually turn in for a set piece if you get ridiculously unlucky.

[Keta]

Guild mate at gc 90 and change ... no set pieces and 1 minor upgrade. I'm at 20 or so with none, but I've pretty much tossed in the towel on GC.

[TUXs]

This is getting a little out of hand.

Who'd have guessed that players wouldn't find this exciting?

 

Yes...it's out of hand. Literal JUNK is your reward. I've been lucky compared to you - 42 boxes has net me 2 click to use relics (which are utter ****) and 3-set pieces...sadly, 2 of those set pieces were both gloves, so...yeah...what an exciting new system of junk rewards.

[Sportiva]

I feel "lucky" ... Level 40 4 set pieces but 3 were leggings. I also got OH from my same spec alt @ GC 2.

 

Even with that "luck" ... I think I am done. I want to play my ALTS!!!! But I probably won't even do that. Most likely I'll get my alts to 70 then unsubscribe.

You mean RNG gearing isn't as exciting as bw said.

 

Shocking!

[Kurj]

I think I've been pretty lucky too, 1 set piece at level 21. I feel for all of you on the wrong side of the RNG. That has got to be incredibly frustrating.

[-PassingStar-]

As of Command Rank 17 I have both MK-3 230 implants, 2 set pieces, and MH and OH 230's. Clearly, my luck has been better than others.

[keimox]

Guild mate got 2 of the same schematic from one box. And it was crappy schematic.

[Sargrith]

This is getting a little out of hand.

 

People told them this wouldn't work, shouted it but they don't listen all the while lying to us that they do listen....man is that frustrating.

 

Main command rank 22...a mk3 purple relic......no set pieces, no even blue main hand....lots of crap greens though....

 

One of my alts command rank 3...set piece, mk3 purple ear piece, blue 230 main hand....

Another rank 4...two set pieces, mk3 purple implant.........

 

Yeah this is so fun. Could they at least stop saying they are listening when clearly they are not. Please bad enough your not listening, please don't make it worse by lying about it. There is an old saying, your actions speak so loudly I can't hear what you are saying. Their actions speak so loudly their words are meaningless at this point.

[Theeko]

Tell that to the WoW developers which stated that RNG is Fun !

[Vember]

Why are you guys in such a hurry?

[Tsetso]

Yes, let's blame blizzard for the stupid design decisions bioware austin is making.

[Quraswren]

Why are you guys in such a hurry?

 

Why not be? I'm doing the same content in a gearing system designed to make you use your game time efficiently as possible for more CXP so you can get a random change at the possibility of gear. Gear is what I'm after since there is nothing else in game to actually go after that progresses my main.

 

Why are you wanting to go so slow is a more appropriate question? Given it makes no sense to limit yourself by going slow.

[Keta]

Why are you guys in such a hurry?

 

Because many end game raiders are no longer able to do the end game raids they had been doing in the mode they desired. Not all, but a lot.

 

Personally, I have never done an op, rarely do flashpoints, so i don't care regarding my own toons. But others do and that should be a bit of concern for all of us.

[Sargrith]

I said it in another thread and I think it matters so I am saying it here as well.

 

The system has become the challenge in the game. All day on the channel for ops all I see are farm teams forming, in PvP ranked and non-ranked the shear number of afk'ers is out of control, people are looking for every possible way to beat the system. They aren't playing the game anymore, they are looking to play the system.

 

That is to me a clear, undeniable problem. People are not playing the game, they don't see the game as the challenge. They see the system as the challenge.

 

The moment that happened all the content became irrelevant. "Oh the story is so good" "Uprisings are fun" "I can play the way I want and still gear"....except none of that matters anymore. All that matters is how can I beat the system. The story has become a background noise, the uprisings an after thought, and playing as you like is gone.

 

Remove the blockade to playing the game, remove the broken system. Its really the only way to get people playing the game again.

I'm glad you re-posted this...this is a brilliant observation.

[Andryah]

Remember the old saying... a watched pot never boils? I think the analogy applies here.

 

Keeping in mind I am not even grinding Cxp... just taking in whatever comes along as part of normal game play....

 

Capped my alt Trooper to 70 this morning and then spent an hour using my snowball cannon on Cor.. and low and behold..... ranked to GC4 just doing doing the event.

 

In those 3 level ups, received a set bonus legs, and 230 head and boots, as well as a recipe and some empty shells and companion gifts. Not that the 230s are really anything more then a marginal upgrade to the 228s I am wearing ... but I'll take em. I disintegrated the shells and kept everything else.

 

And yes.. RNG is RNG I know. I am simply sharing my results while not actually trying to grind Cxp.

 

Thing is... grinding prior to them making notable fixes to issues expressed... is kind of leaning in to the wall you are bashing your heads on when grinding. You can do it, but why would you? And anyone who did a heavy grind and then sees them make changes that would have mitigated a lot of the effort.. are likely going to be back on the forum complaining about how they got cheated for early adopting.

 

Here's the key in life for me.. I am rarely an early adopter of anything... real life or in game. I'm fine with letting others do so if they choose, but it's generally a losing position as you pay a premium in some form or another for doing so.
