Zeta drop rate poor at best

I am willing to bet that I am not the lone soldior here.

Playing 2 accounts. I have got zeta abbility mat drop 3 times in the last 6 weeks. Thats both accounts combined.

I know i am not the only player experiancing this as many in my guild are expressing the same dissatisfaction.

Some players have quit because of it.

Is anyone else having these problems?

    The challenge is meant to be a supplement not a direct farming method. They want you to make the hard decision to buy them, which they made easier by removing gear.


    Yes thats fair and reasonable that they made it a supplement, not a direct farming method.

    My beef is more to the fact that some players are getting 3,4 sometimes 5 or 6 regularly per week and now have more zeta then they know what to do with.

    Then you have another group of players who are lucky to get one drop in a 3 week period.

    When you struggle in your ship shard to crack the 500+ rank ( I cant get past rank 1800) and only get 800 fleet credit / day, its very hard to farm zeta from the fleet store expecially when you need ship shars. Fleet arena is even more cut throat now crystals are on offer for the top 20

    I hope the Developers can see my point here.

    I even spent 200 crystals to change my game name on my primary account to "Zetamax NoZetaForYou" as after all this time i only have 1 toon zetad (cody) and only have 4 zeta mats saved for my second zeta, thats after i have actuly grinded out 4 zetas from the fleet store plus 2 zetas i got from the 2 times we got them some other way.

    I just want it to be fair :(
  • The Zeta drop rate is what it is. It’s RNG based and as such you’ll have some days that it’s all good, equally you’ll have others that are bad... some of those bad patches might run on a bit. Some of the good ones might.

    I’ll clue you into a little secret, the real skill in this game is resource management. You want everything, you can’t everything so you have to pick and choose what to after and when.

    Good luck

    I am well aware of resourse management. Its not a little secret its not a big secret its not a secret at all.

    You clearly have just read my posy without making any comprehention.

    18 zeta drops sence zetas were released in the game for my primary account with 6 chances per week.

    You do the maths. Thats less then 1/ fortnight. Correct me if i am wrong.
  • Wait wait.... Are we taking zeta mats that upgrade toons skills to zeta, or some kind of gear piece?

    Where do zeta mats drop from?

    I've got 13 total zeta mats, and I've bought them all from the fleet store. Been playing a year and haven't zeta'd a toon yet (mostly because I spend fleet tokens on character shards, no discipline...)
  • Oh man!!! I totally forgot they drop in fleet challenges!!

    UHH.... Teach me to not invest fully into fleet garbage... I'll be fixing that asap.
  • you are not the onlyone thats made that mistake. my zeta drops have improved sence i opened this post. work on DS ships for best results. May the force be with you
