3 separate "Superior" GE caches and not a single classified...

[Hawk]

Non-classified.... 1,500 GE per, 3 of them had ZERO, 0, none, nada, no classified gear what so ever, and before that, maybe a single 1 if that out of the 2 that I opened thus far today. Your Global Events are a joke Ubisoft, Massive and whoever other clown outfit Ubisoft threw this project out to.

You should have pushed the Loot numbers update BEFORE this month not after the fact, after the fact is totally worthless, especially when I keep getting results like this. This in a loot based game where we the paying customer, are "asked" to grind for even more hours at a time JUST for the .1% chance of getting either classified or an exotic and you couldn't even give us the updated numbers? It's working fully in the testing servers is it not? How hard is it for you "people" to change a decimal point and a number? In a computer game.

This is quite literally the last remaining 2 hours completely wasted as I have gotten almost nothing to show for it from this entire weekend “event”.


As a side note, can you people at Ubisoft or whoever figure out when you want your servers to shut down? I mean really first you "smartly" shut them down for 3 hours on the day that you started the current GE. Now there are 50 minutes left in the GE and I see a message saying the servers are shutting down in 20.... At what point does it stop looking like you're doing these server shut downs out of malice? I mean really think about this for just a little over a few seconds and just ask yourselves "maybe we should shut down the servers after...nahhh".

You didnt pray hard enough to RNGesus.

Becides, the loot drop changes would not have affected the GE caches anyways, the rates were never going to be changed for them because they are overhauling the reward system in the next patch aswell as rolling all of the GE's including two new ones, by month again.

The problem is the people who complain about the game will never be happy with it no matter what changes and will always continue to complain. =/

Hmm a game that's advertized as a looter RPG has really bad loot drops and honestly anti-consumer practices during their "community events". Odd that I've seen the drop rates for the Superiors get worse and worse as the events go by, yet here you are as usual defending the game.

I love people like you who treat "complaining" by paying customers, gamers, like it's some kind of bad thing, like no one should ever say any negative thing about a product that they paid for because that's bad. You should never voice your displeasure with a product otherwise they overpaid devs might have their feelings broken when the reality of their pieced together product is brought to their attention. What do they say? Blame the victim? Must be a golden rule for you.

Sounds like bad luck to me. I'm swimming in classy gear and have gotten to the point where I often deconstruct the lower classy gear. Feels wrong tbh lol, but my stash is too full of exotics and classy gear after all the GE's.

I've had no luck with the RNG this round either. In this roll of GEs I've only managed to finish a reclaimer set. Zero luck with all others.

That's how it goes.

You have no idea how many caches I earned just to get the 3 pieces I needed to complete the final 2 sets. I would say I needed between 50-60. I played for at least 8 hours a say for the whole event and didnt get the final piece until 6pm on Sunday. I am certain that Ubisoft is well aware of the amount of time required and monitor hoiw many people will work hard enough to get them.

When I read the interview with Ubisofts President/ CEO where he says he sees no problem with charging money for loot boxes and then add that to the deliberate low rng I can easily see the option to buy guaranteed classified loot boxes (rather than earn them as others do for free) for the casual player. Some do not want top spend that much time because they may only have a few hours a week. For them to pay 20 to 50 dollars extra to gamble on loot boxes may be part of the DIvision 2 design. Free money for Ubisoft just for raising the rng and offering the easy way out for the time sensitive players. I would bet this would happen months after release, after they have your money and you have invested yourself in the game. Time will tell.

Paid loot boxes, it's all the rage.

I like the game. I dont particularly like the grind. it is not until you have a reasonably sorted out classified set that you can really enjoy the Dark zone and stand a chance of any success. Should it cost money to enjoy the game you paid for? The players of Star Wars and Destiny dont think so. Ubisoft now publicly says yes.

I hear you bro my first 4 superior caches gave my gs score 260> gears then i got 2 classifieds out of my next one but then back to crappy 260> score gears.

Recycled every single one of those for Div Tech.

Edit: I forgot that one cosmetic cache

Yep and still having the issue during this retread of Outbreak, 1 classified out of the 7 caches that I've opened today. It's almost like the Devs know and have specifically modified the system so that it forces the player to keep playing. Fee to Pay system anyone? Paid for a game, not the free to play grind mechanics.

[Bender Bending Rodrigues]

i did 3 in a row all classified. its luck of the draw. not that it was gear i wanted but still all classified

>Opens caches that are based solely on RNG and luck
>Complains that RNG and luck wasn't in their favor

There's a thread like this EVERY event, it happens to us all. Ya got bad luck and RNGesus didn't bless you, that's all. It's like going to a casino and complaining to the casino that you lost all your money because of bad luck. It's nobody's fault but yours. Just keep trying and the RANDOM number generator might work in your favor.

Fee 2 Pay is something entirely different. Your theory doesn't hold any water though, since your playing doesn't equal in you spending more money. Remember, you cannot buy the caches with IRL money.

idk why i kept playin even i dun get class or exotic from superior cache. maybe this game really fun, just like i grind @ DZ but rogue cheater kill me twice easily and loot my extracted item, i still play DZ.

remember that frustration next time you walk into a casino... your wallet will be grategfull.

And again still NO classified yet, what is the point of these events if the entire purpose behind them fails?

And again still NO classified yet, what is the point of these events if the entire purpose behind them fails? I mean raw percentage wise, 1 classified out of 8 total “Superior” caches so far is 12%, as I recall the supposed percentage of classified and exotics were somewhere around 25%-35% give or take, exotic was around what maybe 15-20%? That 25-30% is supposed to be PER cache yet looking at my numbers opened versus what I’ve actually received that number is totally false.

Still trying to get my last piece of Lonestar, seems to be a very common issue within the loot for this “game” as in you’ll always be missing 1 piece almost like it’s made that way.

My point is that these Global Events are advertized by the developers as a way to get classified gear more frequently and more reliably then you'd normally find in the main game. So far I have proven that this is not even remotely the case and I see it as a significant problem. Percentages and numbers shouldn't differ from player to player so no it's not a matter of "you just got unlucky" not if they can program a simple algorithm properly. Sorry but numbers are the basics of programming so making corrections to their loot drop numbers should not be a huge issue and easily fixable.

grind lexington for a easy 1500+ every 15 minutes with good players.. 25 with bad.. its a lottery man. like buying a lottery ticket don't be so mad for not winning. the odds may be against you. ppl that buy more tickets win more. simple GLHF
