Lower your expectation, it's elite daily crystal standard. Not god crystal.
Or better, hoard for a month
Hoarding has never been proven to improve drop rates. Also, your missing the point the original drop rates were incredible now they are terrible. A middle ground would have been nice. One t4 class frag drop and 4 t3 class drop in 10 was my original drop rate. Now I haven’t pulled either in 40 crystals. That’s a huge change. KABAM has never been good about making a mistake then compromising afterward. They just go to their original plan like it never happened. Once the cat is out of the bag you can’t go back and if you do you cause people to feel disgruntled. They really need to turn the drop rates back up a little. Especially since they pulled the arena crystal. Those crystals allowed me to be free to play for all content. I don’t mind kicking in a few bucks every month to keep the game running. But there has to be value. Time to adD the 735 energon daily card for 4.99 it a great value many would buy it every month like MCOC
They’re not terrible. Everybody is cherry picking unlucky drops to show here.
Exactly.
The fact that players honestly thought the drop rates on release were as they should be are out to lunch. Getting that much t4c essence consistently is an obvious mistake.
Yeah, it was nice and we all took advantage, but the actual drop rates are fine too.
This pull was from 28 June 2019, after the fix.
These rewards would've cost much, much time and effort plugging at expert or master missions just a week ago.
We've had our fun, i was grateful. what more do you whiners want.
Now we have to rely on skill and effort, like it's some kind of GAME again.
When the drop rate was first released t4 class ess was the one drop i didn't really get. I had gotten more t3 class full sparks and t2 alphas.
They changed the rates like we did something wrong. If they would just think about what they want to do before doing it or even have a dummy version for themself to simulate players and check drop odds before releasing to the masses.
Kabam also has players from their company playing so theres kinda no excuse when the game has been running this long.
Look at the 3-5* bot crystals i have maybe pulled 1 5* bot from them in the 2yrs playing.
They program the AI to violate battle rules. Its all an attempt to get us to run to the cube shop like many of us dont already do that. Kabam is just greedy.
If they want to really fix something understand basic math and odds. The higher player already get better items on most modes of play. But the players that are on the rise need love too. Even if they messed up just turn it into a short event that happens 2- 3 times a year. I like earning what i get but i also like to be properly rewarded as well for the money spent and time invested in the game.
Well this is not an mmorg and it seems like kabam and some commanders want to talk like it is. With no add ons to story mode. And more ways to earn items through playing how much interest to stay does kab think they have. We still have many bots that are not 5* yet and room in the filter menu to fit 6* bots eventually which will need more work on kabams side to keep the player count up and growing. How does a commander who is tryn to build get items such as t3 mod sparks if your high enough to compete and in a growing alliance in the top 75- 115 range. Those players are forgotten like middle income people verse the top 15% and the non spending players have no hopes of building to compete.
Everyone quickly forgets how much t3c cost to buy for actual $. They used to be $100 a pop, and are still quite expensive to this day when they are offered.
You want to talk fair? How about the fact that 24hrs of those crystals has basically undone the spending, time and effort of all the players busting their asses in the top 10 for over a year.
Is that fair?
The current drop rates now that they are fixed are just fine. You are going to get premium resources at a decent rate. It was absolute nonsense to be pulling 3x t2a, 3x t3c, t4b, and 1000 t4c essence and 30k gold in a single 10 crystal pull.
Come on man.. Common sense, it was obviously not right.
Get over it.
Did you just say fair about a game that cheats to win and forces player to buy items we get randomly for free. Common sence say theres no common sense after your comment. I am a player who plays and works with what is availible, one shouldnt have to spend hundreds of dollars to be a top commander. This is a fighting game which calls for skills to play the characters, so spoiled babies who pay should continue to get handed everything. Like ive said because this is my thread I started there is no fairness in this game it caters to the rich who are willing to pour copious amounts of money into kabams pocket to stay in top spots while others suffer who grind to earn got the biggest slap in the face. And then people like you complain about players you dont know because they want to talk about the most resent shotty update we were blind sided by. Wow lol....
Please pay the other commanders some respect, and kabam the same, for once.
Be honest with yourself, the drop rate of these crystals was insane, at a point when it would have become useless to "play" anything but the away missions.
I can understand you being frustrated, to see some players with high rosters trusting the high ranks, or just not to have open any/more of these crystals before they got nerfed (I am too, I didn't open all I had because my stash was full...)
But don't forget that most of the players with high rosters deserve what they have, either because they paid for it (hence giving money for the game to exist) or because they play like hell from the start (hence making this "community" of players alive)
This game is about arena, raid, solo and team missions. It's also about ranking up bots and forging, with the (limited) ressources you get when playing.
It's not about getting your meal for free.
Play the game by its rules, or leave.
PS: I'm here from the start, and besides the few "daily cards" or whatever I bought when I was young, and 1 energon deal I bought when I was a child, stuck in an AM whose level was too high for me, to make sure the team will still complete the mission, I'm not a spender. At all.
I am also frustrated not to be able to have more 5r5 bots.
But I really prefer this, having to play for months to form a T4C, than to see anyone popping them out for free from missions they didn't even play.
If you think you need top bots to defeat the spotlight missions or high level AM and are lacking the resources for that, it's because you don't have the proper skill, commitment or team
That's my opinion, and I share it.
Don't take it personal
And what about the players still getting T3C? To assume your individual pulls mean that the reduction was somehow “worse” than what a mod stated publicly is just accusatory and unwanted on what is generally a positive forum.
All I can say is that the new Away Mission rewards have drastically improved. Start tracking your gold. Start tracking how much Ore you end up selling for Gold. Start reading all the numerous posts asking for more Gold. As for the lack of arena crystals and the energon they yield, that is a negative. But who knows what comes next? Let’s allow Kabam some time to execute this re-org of resources currently underway.
Take no offense, but if you were better at the game you would realize it doesnt cheat.
Drop rates now are fine, I've pulled 1 t4c pull and 3 t3c in 48hr. This is with about 150 Crystal's.
And just an fyi, I didnt pay for my bots or to take them to r5. I EARNED that and did what I had too.
Please stop saying this. Undertuned when compared to the mistake from launch? Sure, that is accurate. To say the drop rate is now too low is simply wrong.
Firstly, your individual pulls aren’t indicative of the whole player base. Come back with some real data if you plan to make an accusatory claim such as this. Secondly, we have T3C and T4C in Away Missions! THAT IS AN INSANE upgrade from what was there before. Just because you haven’t pulled some doesn’t mean that this change isn’t a good thing. Lastly, look at all the Gold we are getting now. That Gold is necessary to grow 5* bots which is what this update seems to be facilitating for the player base.
Even when they were overturned i still never got any t4 class or high goods they act as though t3 class sparks are ultra rare items. No t3 alpha. In the hundreds ive been through after turned down still non exsistant. Hundreds!! And still nothing now just 800 exp ore wow so great.
The game does cheat if you actually watch what the kabam controlled bot does. It starts moves and mid way through the move it stops and exacutes the next move and progressively keeps at it. In all the fighting games ive played over 34 yrs of gaming have i ever seen a game cheat in that way. I have seen higher resistances or they let you know certain kinds of moves are disabled. But never just out right cheats. Ive had the kabam bot stop a special with their normal laser blast really a normal laser ??? Or how about side stepping when they lunge at you and still make contact the physics are all screwball. But i guess If you just close your eyes and say it doesnt happen it doesnt happen right.....lol
So no T3B or T3C in hundreds? I can’t understand your writing. I do not mean to offend you but it’s not clear. I’ve been tracking the pulls using data from 13 other players and so far everyone is happy with the amount resources being rewarded (eg. Gold, Class Ore, T3C, T3B, and some rare T4C essence). IMO, if a players opens 500 crystals and only pulls 1 T4C essence (1000/10000) that is still wonderful. That’s the equivalent of selling 17 full T3C sparks.
Or maybe you aren't that good. The game does have some problems, however, every 'cheat' as you call it you as the player can do in battle. Practice in rok bro, call me. I practice at d140.
