DmpTrkDrvr Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Spent last night flying around the Island drop hunting. Truly got tired of the Crap in your drops. Honestly I love free goods but the duplicity is a little too much.. The first is a purple drop the second is a Blue.. This honestly just sucks it has to be a flaw? Right.. because you can't want the drop to have 2 of the same thing.. Do you? Top picture 2x Medium Crop Blueprints and the second is 2 water jar blueprints...

TripleBooya Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I had a double lampost BP from a purple drop last night, wondering with the doubles if that’s a bug with new patch possibly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simego Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 normal drop loot should be revised, i think they'll do it before BETA, they already had some issues with drops on primitive servers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DmpTrkDrvr Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 YEAH I really don't mind the drops.. BUT doubles are a little weird and had never seen this till this most recent patch.. I understand that it won't be fixed until next update aprox.. week of March 10th given precedent so far But REALLY WANTED TO make sure they're aware that it's Broke.. It is funny though that I've never seen a double armor or gun blueprint Just accessories.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bragok Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 everyone saying dont go for beacons, and im here with apprentice/journeyman flak armor bp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMackeyMKayyy Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I usually get bad drops from the beacons but once in a blue moon I'll get something actually pretty decent/useful. So even though it is not consistent I'm still fine with hitting them up whenever they are around since it doesn't require much effort with a flying mount.

People have been complaining about these drops since early summer of last year, at least. How hard can it be to make some changes to the list of possible drops and percentages? It's probably in some kind of database format. They keep adding in new content, much of it broken or buggy, yet leave annoyances like this that are easy to fix for 10 months or more (and counting). It makes no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be pretty major after all, they have alot of new items that need to implement to the beacons. Just like the optimization phase. They will do it near the end.

DmpTrkDrvr Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 I Should mention This is on XBOX ONE so I've only had the game since December 17th.. I also do get some good drops I got a ramshackle pteradon saddle but.. The Doubles seem to be my biggest issue.. also in a level 45 drop why do you need to put an item that could have been achieved at level 25 with engrams. Truly nothing in a level (xx) drop should be under the level needed for that drop, it just seems like bad math or flawed code allocation. IF this is my Biggest problem with a PRE ALPHA build then I really have no problem... But since we ARE testing this game for Full release these things need correction and this is my Avenue to facilitate that correcting.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danouk Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 BP of saddles you can have some lvl before is not a problem. Remember your engram points. You can mind wipe and now that you have have that BP you don't need to use engram points for it now. So they can be used for something else.

panteni87 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I just don't go for the drops anymore. If i'm on my way and the drops are on my way? I go and get it. But if there's even 1 dilo, it would probably be too much trouble to get off my mount (I only use "bad" flying mounts on purpose, leveling them ruins the fun). Why would i take the extra 10 seconds for another medium crop plot bp, with a very small chance to actually get something usefull? In my experience the chance of getting something nice and worth the trouble is higher on blue drops, than on red/yellow ones. But this could be confirmation bias, i'll start tracking it a bit better.
