Drop chances bugged?
I was farming thunder cage polymer and it took me literally 25 attempts to get the item. That can't be right because the drop rate is 20%.

Every 264th player will be that unlucky for a single drop they grind for. You are this 264th player with this farming atempt. That's simply how probability works.

Pretty sure they get scuffed when you are farming for the last item in a set.

Complaining in normal chat about it does seem to help.

The drop rate is fake, 20% is 1% .

I spent the whole day playing and didn't drop the part needed to unlock the character which is 20%. This game is a waste of time and you will reach level 40 and you will come up against the level 43 colossus that will block your game. You won't be able to kill.

I drop the game now.

I wouldn't pay any attention to drop rates.

Nexon have literally been caught lying about drop rate % in the past. Really, really wouldn't be shocked if they are doing it again.

When farming for thunder cage parts I pretty consistently got the first one in 2 attempts, the 2nd in 5 attempts, and the 3rd ones were kinda all over from another 5 attempts to I think one of them was probably 30+ /shrug rng is rng. Not getting it in 30 attempts happens to 1 in every 800 or so people. Personally, I don't have a problem with the rng so much as I have a problem with how boring some of the missions are and how a lot of them can't be sped up in any way.

Brother going around and biting back at criticism for the game is such a ♥♥♥♥ thing to do with your time.

The game has a host of issues right now, alot of them are pay walls and some of them are just horrible designs.

This topic is about drop rates not feeling accurate. Literally ♥♥♥♥ all to do with bosses.

It's less about criticism, but more about accusations at this point. Easiest way to prove, that drop rates are rigged is to actually write it down and given the amount of players who complain about it, you should be able to get tens of thousands of data points per day at this point.

Though on the flip side, i wouldn't be surprised if people already did it and are now being quite on it, because they don't want to admit being wrong in the end, since that's usually what happens if people who don't know anything about probability try to prove a wrong premise.

Obviously, it can and should be criticized, that they're using full randomness on it and a pity system might be useful for it, but that's not what people are criticizing here most of the time.

I replied to you elsewhere (at least I think it was you) explaining why it would be difficult to get the data because we'd need hundreds of people doing it.

The way nexon were caught in the past was with data mining. Haven't seen any info on data mines for this game so far.

For me biggest problem of the game is that bosses are biggest bullet sponges iw seen in awell like all other lootert shooters i playes. Who to ♥♥♥♥ designs boss with hp amount that 4 people shooting at him for 10 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ minutes without dying can get him down.

Im stuck on dead bride for hurs now it feels like impossible thing to kill always like 20% hp left and out of time...

I got an maybe crazy for some idea lets make Bosses HARD not bullet sponges. Thinking Raid bosses in destiny 2 like. Bosses got mechanics that if you ♥♥♥♥ up team gets wiped instantly.
Here you just watch how yours team slowly looses dps check. Problem is all bosses are dps checks besides hanging man.... Iw had fun on that boss !!!

Welcome to gambling and RNG. I got the drop on 2nd attempt, second drop took me about 7. No matter how many times you do it your drop chance is still 20% it will not increase or decrease, you just have to farm till it drops. Even Valby took me 8 attempts and she is 38% while I kept falling on 15% drops.

Unfortunately for everyone, drop chance % means diddly squat when it comes to reality.

I think it's perfectly reasonable to be suspicious any listed drop rates in a F2P game.

"It's just RNG."

Honestly, it's surprising how much faith some of you have in Nexon of all companies.

Some People will never learn what a dropchance of 20% means, you can have 1000 tries and still not get it cause theres a chance of 80% you not get it. It is not like when you had 5 attemps that its now 100% drop chance, nop its still 20% even after 50000 times. Some People are just very unlucky
