Hi there,I’ve gotten about 2-3 zeta materials out of a possible 40 zetas in the last 20 tries of the ship material challenge. ALL of my guild friends and friends in other guilds are DEMANDING we get a minimum of one zeta each time we do a ship material challenge because we can’t progress with farming our characters with this low of a drop rate. Please help us and create some good will among your players by helping us to progress in a normal way by offering 1 zeta minimum!

You're demanding it eh? The devs already said it's at a comfortable balance currently. What'll happen if it doesn't change? Your whole guild is going to quit? Ok.. but em from the fleet store. May the force be with you

We’ve gotta stop with these whiny snowflake requests.

They do offer at least one zeta mat every time you do the zeta challenge in fact they OFFER up to 2 zeta mats every time.

My advice to avoid frustration is to consider buying them as the main method of getting them and anything received from the challenges as a bonus.If you think of the challenges as your main method of acquiring them, you're setting yourself for the constant disappoint and frustrations you're feeling currently because we all go on Zeta dry spells where we go a week or two without getting one.

Oh, is that how it works? Sweet. My guild and I will demand at least ONE toon shard each time we do a hard node. Oh, yeah, rolling in it now... Bonus: and at least ONE full Carbanti each time we do a raid!!*eye-roll*

Please OFFER AT LEAST one zeta mat each time we do Ship Mat Challenge

Buy them with fleet currency i know it may not always be optimal. I have 20 zetas set if i just relied on challenges id have 2, 3 if i was lucky. But not relying on challenges (i dont even count them so if i get 1 im lucky) is the best way to go like i said 20 zetas applied now.

Personally I build up to 20 with use of the fleet store and then while I work on the purple and omega mats, I farm ships and toons from fleet. Seems to be the best balance, at least for me.

The thing is y’all, as several YouTube video veterans have pointed out, it takes about a month or more to get ONE ZETA for a character through fleet currency. You can’t even get one zeta bought a day if you get #1 in fleet arena. AND if you use that way, you can’t use the currency to upgrade any of your ships and I’m not all maxed out on ships...maybe y’all are.

The truth is there are a lot of people who don’t have all ships maxed out and therefore need that fleet currency to farm ships currently. That’s why we have to rely on the material challenge, which has only given me 3-4 out of about 20 tries. It’s not a fair drop rate and will take years to farm all the major zetas for all the characters with just that and TW rewards.

Well lucky for you you'll get an extra zeta or two each month now!

Regardless, farm your fleet up to 7* and climb the ranks, then start buying the zetas.

Lol, do y’all work for EA or something? You don’t even sound genuine in your responses.

I’m being objective and making a point, some of you are just being emotional and blowing it out of proportion...

Not abfair drop rate? What's a fair drop rate? Everyone has the same rate.

Zetas are supposed to be had to get and rare. That's why they are Zetas.

Well buddy the thing is everyone has had to deal with the same drop rate from the lowest F2P players to the biggest Krakens. So your DEMAND to get more zetas doesnt carry a lot of weight.

Also between territory wars and now the daily login changes the devs have been making them more accessible over time.

Exactly.

just pick and farm the right ships. if you are top 200 (100-200) you can still get 1200 a day iirc. I was in the same boat as you and once I farmed the ships the currency started to flow in. It makes getting zero from challenges a little less painful lol. So I agree with @ARougeRogue.

Why does everyone keep saying I’m making a DEMAND on EA, as if they are some sort of victim of a highly paying customer asking for a fair drop rate on zetas? Do people who make demands use the word “Please?”

Anyways, y’all make it sound like EA doesn’t care about their players’ concerns and you are representing them as just not caring at all and as being a victim of me, a single player.
