The mechanics against players don't change as much...and you don't have to worry about item drops! You get gold every time you win!
Brenna had it right. The items drop randomly to certain people, but u nobs will never figure out how to guarantee a drop. I have all items. Most I acquired first try. Ask around. I'm king of the drop. Why? Am I just that lucky? No. I figured out the drop system. And I laugh all day at all of y'all cuz no one else has
And wrong kaw. The mechs against players have changed drastically. Why not hit someone and find out before u blather in my forums with ur nonsense. If u dun know what u are talking about then why open ur mouth?
I know what I am talking about. I said don't change as much . The do change just not as often as EBs....and I hit players all the time. I'm in OSW all the time unless trying for now
Hey John! Long time no see. Well I don't have any feedback as to the post but it was an interesting read. If you ever need assistance to figuring out mechanics, you'd know I'd be of great help considering the alts I have
Yes , you are right John . The drops should be honored to those with the greatest participation but this will only help those who spend a lot on crystals. They would probably crystalize and get that item so the devs made it random so there is no superiority to those who are active in the EB very much . Although it is correct that the greater the number of hits , the greater are your chances to luck out with that item. So in the end , contributing does give you better chances of winning items
The big thing bringing down drop rates is the amount of peeps participating who already have equipment from the EB. In addition, I think the reason not as many top earners gain items is because a lot of the top peeps already having them.
If you look at the clan ToC's history, a clan of people who mostly haven't got the ring and shoulder from the EB, you can see high drop rates particularly in high earners
I greatly appreciate the thoughts and feedback on this topic. Thank you. For what it's worth, my main does have all the items, every darn one...one of the guys in his clan noticed that he didn't have all the items, was missing the "armor of eternal fire" and so he went back to win that, just for completion's sake. :lol: - John
John,focus on growth first, when you are bigger, you will get your item more easily. You are simply too small, the item drops is related to activity in both quantity and quality (amount of killing done per hit).. You look at my items and I'm pretty sure what I said is right.. I seldom xtals on EB, cuz I don't buy xtals and nvr believe in spending on a game..
I watch this pretty closely and haven't noticed changes in the last few weeks. Bows still drop much more often to folks with more (non-item) actions, but it is as always never guaranteed. Sometimes folks just get lucky. **** is still dropping a metric ton more often than it did when the first 3 items were it.
You have to obtain certain requirments ( usually in terms of average damage ) so that small Kingdoms can't get items like the bracers or the bow
Micky is trolling. As stated by moose, if you could figure out the pattern for a Code to make random drops, then you would use this skill on things far better than cheating kaw's drops. Aside from that, convince your clan to let you do the item stage alone, xtal 6 times, an unload every hour and you might get it.
I was in a couple clans while doing destroyer a few weeks ago and there were atleast 12-15 ebs with no item drops at all, to anyone.
Mickey, I highly doubt that there is a programming "backdoor" that is still available and/or active. Obviously there was one, the devs would have tested equipment drops and equipment functionality before the broader release, but I doubt that they would have allowed it out to the general user. ... I mean, the devs haven't made any other mistakes, have they? - John
I hadnt noticed anything in the statistical engineerig changed though this is probably down to my galavanting and clan hoping. I think there are (or were at least) parts of an eb that were liable to give a better chance on drop. I agree with your theory, though there are several factors. Mainly that if the main participants already have the item? Does this mean that you would theoretically win it again? (obviously you cant) hmm! Though at the same time, i remember doing destroyer maybe 5 to 10 times in a row with no drop, and people can couch for that! Also where the main active players, through all their work, crystals etc etc knly to have items "stolen" at the last minute by mercs joining with their 1 unload... If anything comes of this Id be very interested to know! Good thread
