Supply Drops, a bad joke that needs to end
Every supply drop I go to now, doesn't matter what level, 95% of the time, blueprints for Water Jar, Compass, Medium Crop Plot, sometimes a mix of these 3 sometimes (too often) 2 of the same thing.

If this is all it's going to be is these nerfed garbage drops then please just get rid of the things, I'm sick and tired of running like hell to a yellow trying to beat the guy who's flying from one to another, wasting my time and food, just to find this garbage.

We get it, you hate the people who are throwing their money at you, we get it, now just have the good taste to end the poor joke, or at least stop constantly nerfing/saying you unnerfed/re-nerfing it.

:blech:

No thanks, I'd rather get excited at finding a rare drop then throwing out good drops that are a dime a dozen

Reds are good

While this seems to be the case for blues, the others I find rather useful; especially white, I love free sparkpowder. And the armors don't hurt either.

How does this passive agressive attitude of yours work IRL ?

If you want to say something like an adult please do but this middle school tactic is rather pathetic and not effective at all for getting a sudjestion across.

the drops are ok, some mats here blue prints there.

Yeah those red supply drops should be dropping ascendant blueprints like candy... my instant gratification urges need feeding waaaa.

My next complaint will be: those red supply drops are dropping ascendant blueprints like candy... I want hundreds of C4 waaaah.... and uber I-win instant kill guns.

Want to ruin a game quickly? Give away all the best tools, guns and upgrades easily....

I agree. They shouldn´t give the best items/ bps all the time, but they need some tweaking. Getting more WOODEN Dino Gates from purple and yellow drops than I can count, it´s pretty annoying.

When I come across yellows with things like 2 compass BPs sorry but to me that's pretty worthless, and I see it far far too much. Getting the rare occasional good drop, yeah ok some items should be rare but getting boned almost every time? Sorry but no, that's got to change.

Whites and Reds seem to be the only ones that don't completely suck, whites because they have some useful to semi useful items and reds, well I've gotten to very few of them but for now they have items and BPs I find useful.

When we first started drops didn't suck, we got useful items and occasionally got something we didn't need, then they nerfed the hell out of them and now it's compasses, medium plots, and water jars up the old Z chute.

I haven't even seen a complete set of any building tier, nothing at all from the stone tier, I expect new items to be late coming into the drops but I still expect them to be there, but they're not. Stop giving us junk or just get rid of it, give us some other way to earn the blueprints or earn higher ranks at crafting so we can do it ourselves without our engrams becoming completely worthless.

I will talk just about yellow drop. Main topic is right, you are level 45+ so you can pick yellow drop, and it give you Compass blueprint (level 10), Medium Crop Plot blueprint (level 25) or Water Jar blueprint (level 30). In "ideal" case two blueprints of one item. So why are not there at least higher level blueprints? Like range of levels 40-60 or some Ramshackle items (Pike, Hatchet, maybe some armor?). You can mostly find same things in Blue, Purple and Yellow drop.

Also it would be nice put some red drops also on south part of Island. I really do not think, that if we are talking about level 60+ players (limit for pick up red air drop) that there is some difference in fauna/flora difficulty in different parts of island.

Search "Mcjeeps" in the server list, they are running a mod that has fixed supply drops. Or... dont do that and continue complaining about something that has been fixed.

Red drop = ramshackle plesio saddle... drops rule :)

i like the way drops work, they aren't giving away the best ♥♥♥♥ in the game, you have a chance to find something great, you have a higher chance to find something worthless, it gives longevity, and also a jackpot feeling when you finally do find that amazing pattern.

I hope they would at least sometimes give an actual water jar and not just a blueprint. That at least would have some value (as it's ridiculously expensive to craft).
