Kawiki Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 (edited) Getting those pieces wouldn;t be tied to where you're in the story line, would it? I don;t recall anyone mentioning that before. No I don't think so, I pulled 4 tier one set pieces without ever running a single chapter. Somewhere in tier 2 i did the first 9 chapters and my luck does seems a little better now but I don't think it is related.

ZeroTypeR Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 (edited) I don't mind it, but I do mind not being able to get specific mods/enhancements/hilts/barrels that I actually want, along with the xtremely low CXP rate for sidequests, heroics, and vanilla story quests. On it's own, it's a failed concept IMO, but with unassembled pieces/components it's a lot better. Hopefully with 5.1.2 there will be a decent increase in unassembled piece drops in warzones, atleast.

eriksarcasm Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Just got my second piece and it was on the same character. Just realized something. I'm getting it on the character that's run the 2 Knights xpacs. Have yet to get any of the set pieces on a character that hasn't run the xpacs. Getting those pieces wouldn;t be tied to where you're in the story line, would it? I don;t recall anyone mentioning that before. edit: Data: Level 70 Jedi Sentinel Combat build. Command Rank 7. Gotten a [Eternal Commander MK-3 Vindicator's Belt] and a [Eternal Commander MK-3 Vindicator's Armguards] 230 purples. Doubt it. Only my Shadow has done FE and ET and he's gotten mostly green 228's. My Sentinel started GC first and has a mix with mostly blue/orange 230's. My Merc started GC last and got a SB helmet on his first try, and a SB belt later on.

stoopicus Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 FWIW I've gotten nearly all of mine in "lucky streaks" as mentioned above; nothing at all for dozens of levels, then BAM, set pieces for two or three crates in a row. Exciting! Kind of like PTSD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurfer Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 i'm starting to see more and more people rolling 242 items in pvp and it annoys me because I am having crap luck. This system is worse than ISIS, cancer, aids, Christianity AND Hitler combined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsillah Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Like a few players in this game I gave up the daily grind ( at rank 45 ) but then they gave us the massive bonus boost and since then I have made it to max rank 300 and come away with at least 2 sets of full 240 and working on my 3rd also getting some nice legendary items. So because you are extremely lucky with your drops all is well for everybody? If I had a penny for every post where someone said all is fine because they are fine...

THEY have the gear they want, so who cares if most other players don't, right? It's all about THEM. It's disgusting, really. I can't take any of these white knights with the "**** you, got mine," mentality seriously anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoopicus Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I've stopped calling them White Knights because I realized that symptomatically it is closer to Stockholm Syndrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halinalle Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 It's just not possible to get to rank 300 and claim that you only got two set pieces. It's just not possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not likely but it's definitely possible. I mean it's possible that someone would get none at all.

FerkWork Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 (edited) Let me guess, math was not a strong point during your education. RNG is a hard concept for people to understand apparently. There is no guarentuee of anything and which is why we need specific loot drops back on all bosses and Massive increase in PvP comms.

Smuglebunny Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 The bottom line is that someone high up, had a TERRIBLE idea that they forced on everyone else, and now they are defending it as long as they can so that person doesnt look so much like garbage. THE PERSON WHO CONCEIVED CG. Your idea is Extreme hyperfail. Stop forcing yourself on us all and get rid of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AscendingSky Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Let me guess, math was not a strong point during your education. You said it before I could!

Halinalle Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Let me guess, math was not a strong point during your education. 300 ranks, no purple 230s, 234s and 240s. What is probability of that happening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edyn Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 (edited) 300 ranks, no purple 230s, 234s and 240s. What is probability of that happening? You said, "not possible." The fact that it actually is possible is enough to warrant torches and pitchforks from the villagers. [Edit] And I agree with them... who really wants to be that guy who gets absolutely nothing? Who wants to see their friend get absolutely nothing he wants and so quits the game over it? Who wants a system where the creators actually thought it was an acceptable idea that a player has the possibility of getting nothing he wants for the time he puts in?

If I had a penny for every post where someone said all is fine because they are fine... If I had a penny for every post where someone said everything is horrible because they had bad luck... hell, I'd even take all the pennies from posts where someone merely assumed they'd have bad luck and didn't even try.

Actually, it's very possible, although probably not too likely. Random probability is just that, random. Unless you've seen the actual drop-tables and know something we don't? Do tell, if so.

Since before launch, there has not been a demographic more inimical to the long-term health of this game and its community than the "defenders," "white knights," "BioDrones"...Call them what you will.

They're the ones now protesting that the game be brought back to its roots. What Bioware replaced them with are the inimicals that have the game in its current situation. Well, that and Bioware's narcissism. Other gaming communities who are watching all of this have to be laughing their asses off.
