Sooooo how are you supposed to get the blue thingies?

SPOILER in act prizes you get 200 600 and 1200 respectively plus daily challenges too

I dismissed my daily challenge this morning for 1000 Intel and it was replaced with one for 30 schematics so that's now going to be my plan every time I get Intel.

I've got about 13,000 intel and just under 80 schematics. That seems lower than other people :(

I've managed to collect 142 (30 from a daily challenge and 50 from the task that awarded schematics at the beginning of the event) schematics since the event started. That's 65 a day. 65x41=2665 schematics for the whole event.

So 2665+2000 from the prize track for a total of 4665. This is simply not enough to earn one of each craftable. Especially when I have to spend schematics to level up the crafting board. From what I can see I need approximately 6000 schematics to earn one of everything. That's not including the schematics needed to level up

The real number of schematics I'm earning a day without the 50 free ones from the beginning of the event or the 30 from the daily challenge is 31.

31x41=1271+2000=3271 for the event.

It's kind of funny that some people think this is normal.

Some of the craftables are walls. Not even packs of walls. What good is a single wall if it is going to be too expensive to get enough to go around?

Don't spend schematics to level up the crafting board. Crafting individual items goes towards leveling up, essentially doing both things (crafting and leveling up) at the same time.

This has been a feature for several events now and should always be done, especially now that crafting currency is harder to come by.

I thought only I have low number of schematics.
At the moment I have 13 000 intel and 106 Schematics, guess that's not bad.

That is how I do it. My point is that I still need to spend those schematics to level up. Even if I'm spending them on crafting more items it adds to total number of schematics needed. Since I won't level up with each item crafted the real number of schematics needed to craft atleast one of each item is higher then 6000

I'm at 12400 intel and 196 schematic now. I'll wager schematic payout will be adjusted by act 2 so we will be able to craft everything. I'm not panicking.

I see what your saying.. just making sure you weren't leveling up first then crafting, as that would be a colossal waste.

I anticipate there to be more ways to get schematics coming later in the event, we are only in the first couples days of a very long event after all. If not, then EA will most likely adjust things for us, like they are known to do.
