Lundorff Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 (edited) I am not asking to up the drop rate of level 248 gear, but could we please include and retrain the drop rate of level 242 gear after level 300? I am talking about the drop rate from level about level 280 - 299. It would make it easier to gear up and it would provide an incentive to do other types of PVE besides operations. Possible also include UCs when doing stuff like flashpoints, operations and possible even heroics. Edited July 22, 2017 by Lundorff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eshvara Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Ugh yes please, I was so disappointed how you no longer get Iokath when you're level 300. Alongside with not getting Gemnini either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lundorff Posted July 22, 2017 Author Share Posted July 22, 2017 Oh and devs, it would also give me an incentive to run with Cartel Market™ CXP boosts in warzone and PVE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthSpuds Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 (edited) It'd be nice if any of the command crates levels were actually worthwhile. So far all they are is an illusory payoff (that drops crap we disintegrate) for a wholly unnecessary Korean-esque grindathon.

SentinelThain Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 But getting blue relics and implants is FUN guys,even after you get them in 9 out of 10 crates. Blue relics and implants are the meta now.Bow to your new master. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmorrisson Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I would like higher Tier crates feature lower Tier crate gold, legendary gear as filler. For example, Tier IV crates would contain Tier II gold 236 and Tier III gold 242 gear instead of greens or blues. Also feature other class gear for alts or those who like to collect gear. Cartel Crate certificates and reputation would be nice command crate filler gear as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JediTahiri Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 It's almost like EA has been trying to kill this game since 4.0 with all these garbage implementations. So they don't have to deal with it anymore. They consider the game a failure so it wouldn't be surprising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kissakias Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 BW should CANCEL that crap system for good. Lottery for what i want to wear? So far i could have full dps and tank set, thankfully to that **** system, im half on each forcing me to change to tank or dps spec for the specific set drops.

Transcendent Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 It'd be nice if any of the command crates levels were actually worthwhile. Sums it up nicely. Too many Blues / Greens, and for someone at pretty much max reputation (except Iokath) for everything, those reputation tokens are pointless. Would be nice to have UC drop in the crates, not 5 though, more. Honestly, I get more excited about opening a crate in Heroes of the Storm or Overwatch than I do about opening GC crates.

Vercundus Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Go and play NiM OPs or PvP, get your gear, forget about crates. It's that easy and it's the way it used to be. Or maybe it's not that easy and you all want full 248 set in 20 crates... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transcendent Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 or PvP Compared to gearing from 3.0 to 4.0, gearing is way way way way way way way way way way way way slower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue relics and implants are the meta now.Bow to your new master. In an of itself, low drop rates aren't too bad, but when you compound it with duplicates that you cant use (your alts already have it for example) then this makes the problem far worse. So yeah, cool, 100 crates later I *finally* get another 248 legendary piece... oh Derp... its yet *another* bracer, and the only 248 piece you have. THAT is what is so frustrating!!

Decidion Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Obviously he doesn't PvP. And nor should BioWare effectively force someone to PVP to have reasonable progression towards advancing their gear quality. They need to make unassembled components available from end game, group oriented, PVE content. It is very imbalanced, when it comes to obtaining the best gear, when even the worst PVP scrub can get that gear far faster than anyone but the NiM elite raiders.

That's a great suggestion, for no reason other than the fact you are reduced to buying 236s and upgrading through Tiers 3 and 4 if you didn't get lucky on the way up.

PvP is the only way to get a specific gear piece, but it's far from the fastest way. I get way more crates, gear and CXP packs from Ops than I do from PvP. The BEST way is to simply get lucky...short of that, there's no good way to gear up in 248s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting crates does not mean getting gear that you can use. In fact, for the most part, Tier 4 crates are a big disappointment, as evidenced from personal experience and all the threads here on the forums. THE fastest, most reliable way to a full set of BiS gear is through PVP, this is unquestionable. Sure, some get lucky, but the vast majority do not.

The amount of PvP you would need to do is immeasurable. By default, from doing that many WZ's, you would get more crates and more gear from RNG.

AshurDarksoul Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Hey Folks, Hope its not too much of a necro post. I was going to try to save up 100 t4 crates and video the opening just for a laugh. My character is well geared and has opened a ton of t4 crates prior to this. However, Im going to post this video as it sorta paints the picture many are unhappy about. I *do* criticize Bioware in this video and there is some profanity. Hope not to offend too bad. I did not start the video until half way through; I left the contents of concern in the command stash. I will make another video in the future after grinding out 30-50 more crates. TLDR: 33 t4 crates yielded: 20/33 (60.606060 %) Blue (244)/ Purple (246) Implants, Relics, Earpieces. I got one gold (248) belt which was an upgrade and one purple (246) gloves which I will pass to other toons. Enjoy Ashur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy Ashur Pretty damn good collection of gear, I'd say. 20 pieces of t4 gear can be distributed many different ways, either as a secondary set of gear for PvP, or an alternate spec, or trade pieces via legacy gear to gear up alts quicker. Kudos cxp/gc/bioware, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything that is not equal with or an improvement on crafted 246s is trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
