Drop rate SO BAD!

I used to think this as well, so I tested it myself. Ended up with a 35% drop rate over the entire farm. Granted it totally sucks getting 1-2 per 15-20 battles, but it works out in the end. Try it yourself, track your drops everyday on a new toon, start to finish.

Some farms definitely end up being worse than others. I farmed two nodes at the same time, each with one character and one ship and they all finished at random time, with the last one having 70 shards left after the other 3 finished. Not saying it rigged that way, just saying some farms don't align with the 33% people suggest.

Don't know that drop rates have changed but saying they even out over the course of a farm is NOT TRUE. I started juhani and carth onasi on the same day,15 sims a day. There is quite a difference between the two. Carth drops have been appalling.

The problem is we don’t know how many days you’ve been doing it, your drop rates on Juhani might be extremely good, while Carth below average...

Over 4yrs, seeing multiple different players record their data, it does even out at around 33% (it’s actually a bit below 33% but for arguments sake let’s call it 33)

Now if Carth was around 40% (totally not unreasonable) and Juhani was 25% (again, not totally unrealistic) you find the medium between the 2 and where does it land... 33%

It averages out, not all farms are 33% guaranteed, some are higher, some are lower, but across the numbers, it’s 33%...

I've played long enough to know some days are good, others bad.... but 2020, nearly ALL of 2020, has been bad... Did CG nerf drop rates to promote $$$ revenue in app purchases? Anyone heard anything? Look at this crap from today!




6 out of 45 = 13%
and I'm 1 out of 25 for Zombie this week!!!!

Again, has anyone heard of any drop rate changes recently?

There are not and never will be droprate changes, please stop perpetuating this idea

25% means that eventually, it will even out to 25%. some days it might be 50%, others might be 10%. but in the end they will equal out to 25% eventually.

Checked my discord. I started on December 10th.
So that's 68 days x 15 drops = 1020
Juhani is 31.96%
Carth is 26.37%
Now carth is fleet. Does that matter. I don't know. Maybe fleet nodes drop is worse. Someone may know better than me.
Those 2 numbers above don't add up to 33%.
So saying it all evens out in the end is incorrect. Unless all nodes are interconnected, which they aren't as far as I am aware.

Show your data.

All claims of drop rate variance have something in common: vague data based on memory, or data from a tiny sample size.

Drop rates have not been reduced. Period.

Dude, I never said they were.

In statistics it's very common to see variances on the average, some above the average, some below. I'm simply saying that in my experience I encountered one that was lower, much lower, which may also be the case with OP.

Ever heard of a bell curve? Geez.

I teach Maths for a living, so you don’t need to mansplain anything to me.

But you saying “some farms definitely end up being worse than others” contains at least one word that is misleading, at the very least.

Look, obviously a message on a forum can lead to miscommunication, especially since Maths is you strong suit, not English, so long story short...

Some farms good. Some farms bad.

There's your answer:
