Damedius Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 No longer getting schematics for Command Crates. This makes command crates absolutely useless. When did they make this change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curulz Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 No longer getting schematics for Command Crates. This makes command crates absolutely useless. When did they make this change? I received a couple last night on various toons in tier 1 and 2. They weren't good schematics, but I did get 2 from about 6-7 boxes overall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damedius Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share Posted February 2, 2017 You used to get one from every box. This is a terrible change. The RnG from command crates sucked by at least you could use schematics to gear. I just hit the unsubscribe button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deewe Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Sadly no and that would be a very much appreciated fix as I just /trash them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanNV Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 They have never said it, but it seems to me that as time goes along all of their RNG based products drop less good stuff. Want the best stuff from a cartel crate, buy and open it the first few hours. A week later the drop rates are noticeably lower. Same seems to go for everything in the game.

I know I had some crates that didn't contain one at all. you could have received one in every crate before, but I don't think it was intended, just random.

I honestly did over 200 command levels getting one every crate. This was a recent change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a recent change. you must be the luckiest person in all of GC then, because I and many others have not. not to mention after the first couple they would all be repeats anyway.

The RnG from command crates sucked by at least you could use schematics to gear. I just hit the unsubscribe button. While I have only opened about 30 crates so far.... I have NEVER gotten a recipe in every crate. So please.. stop with the fiction. They are random loot, in the loot table, following the same RNG equation as everything else that drops randomly from crates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So please.. stop with the fiction. They are random loot, in the loot table, following the same RNG equation as everything else that drops randomly from crates. I'm serious. I used to get one in every crate. Every crate was 1 schematic, 1 shell, 1 piece of gear and something random. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damedius Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share Posted February 2, 2017 This has not been the case for me or anyone in my guild, so you had an incredible streak. It wasn't just the on character. It was every character. Probably at total of over 350 command level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curulz Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 It wasn't just the on character. It was every character. Probably at total of over 350 command level. Then your streak just ended. I and others who've posted did not get one in every crate so it doesn't appear like it was never a guaranteed drop. I can only imagine the duplicates from 350 boxes!

xordevoreaux Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Was never my experience to get a schematic in every crate, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkside Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 (edited) They have never said it, but it seems to me that as time goes along all of their RNG based products drop less good stuff. Want the best stuff from a cartel crate, buy and open it the first few hours. A week later the drop rates are noticeably lower. Same seems to go for everything in the game. They do in fact adjust drop rates of items in cartel packs depending on how long it's been out, and special circumstances, like when an old pack returns for a few days. It's not your imagination either. Also, there is a difference in drop rates from hypercrates/packs bought with real money vs the free sub coins. Make sure your sub coins are used up first, then buy new packs with real $. Edited February 2, 2017 by Darkside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacCleoud Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I picked up 4 last night and 3 today out of 12 packs. That is about where I have been as far as drop rates most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keta Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I honestly didn't know you could get crafting schematics in command crates .. never got a single one. Now I'm even less impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
