Droprate lowered?

[Razzorkill]

So I've hear that the droprate might have been lowered so I did a test run with my rank60 sniper on molikar rank40 harvs. I had to kill 23 harvs to get the first harv cry then another 15 to get my second. THIS IS JUST RIDICOLOUS!!!! thats 38 harvs to only get 2 harv cry..... This has to be fixed...
EDIT: Killed 54 harvs now and got 4 harv cry.....

EDIT: Now I switched ship to rank45 storm. The droprate is still low but slightly better got 5 harv cry from killing 47 harvs...

And I think the bp booster also got messed up, usually with one 3 hour bp booster I would get 3-4 gold and now I get 0, tried using bp booster 3 times in a row and still got 0 gold... I feel like last patch messed up things a bit.. So something must have been changed since this did not happen before the last patch...

And that repair and ab bug is really annoying and its getting me podded....

 

[ridoi]

Hmmm I think it is a bug or somthing like that i get all was like +200 cry from harv in miz.
and bp Booster will not get you any help to get GB ok ^^

I also get over 200+ from those harvs nothing special about that. And the bp booster has helped me get loads of goldprints... I got 17 goldprints when I finalized antares in 3hour with one bp booster...
And in sol I usually got 3-4 gps, but since the patch its not working...

And the repair bug has happened 4 times now in 10 minutes and its really annoying.
EDIT: Had repair bug 8 times now in 30 min....
And btw is the MST-X fusion storm dropping more often, I got together with Karter on molikar yesterday 5 ships in 3 hours lol...


EDIT: And I have now moved on to mars thinking it would be better, killed 14 rank48 harvs and got 1 cry....

 

[pbhuh]

I don't know where you talk about,

R60 Shock on R40 harvs, ooh look harv cry, ooh there another one, waaah, another one,

40 harvs, 13 cry, something like that

 

[X4-JET]

ya i was on mars killing the 50 harvys and i just got there killed 5 harvs and omg 5 harvy cry drops. went to fill and the first 3 had harv cry drops.

I'm thinking this is related the the accuracy problems some people are having. Because i tested it out and I get many cry and bp drops almost 1 every 3 kills. Please post your details with medic report and internet connection type and provider and also which country you live in.

 

[Raines]

No medic report, but I can say that accuracy in general for me seems like it was lower than before patch as well.. and I also notice some lower cry drops on just random harvs in gemini system. I think this morning I killed approx 21 harvs and got 3 to drop cry and out of the tons of interceptors it was maybe 1-2 cry drop in every harv there as well as 1 (if that) bp drop and all blues.

Agreed, since the patchlog dated 21-07-2010 cry drops have definately been lower regardless of location. I also noticed that within the patchlog it states that " New Cryonite drop system from podded opponents. Cryonite is now calculated not on the level difference to the opponent but on the technology difference. The higher the technology difference to the opponent, the less Cryonite the opponent will drop." In this instance, does the use of the word opponent refer to other pilots, mantis, or both?
Also, as blaster accuracy has been mentioned during the course of this subject, let me say that I also noticed that the number of misses has increased regardless of the mantis type that I am shooting. I know other pilots in a variety of locations are seeing these same issues, but have yet to post their comments here.

i guess the level based drops <amount of a cry-stone> has an effect on the droprate..

seems kinda logic to me..

i think the mantis have taken all an aimscrambler coz the humans were getting too strong

i been play this game long time every time they put a update there always something they change dont know how many time the low the crys and put them back i got 30 day bps elite and to me it not worth it been in sol try to get bp it like bp drop from every 60 kill just for one bp and the crys now is like 25% off wot the point take a planet or buy a crys booster if u keep low the crys make it the same crys we get now after poeple buy it i was get 45 to 50 crys on molikar and i buy a cry booster 25% so it wud give me the 60 to 75 crys but now if i buy it i only get 45 to 50 cry

this a gd way to get rid off the old players in with the new players

sorry to say bring back the old times

Like all other people who posted here, I have the same problem. Have troubles with accuracy and with droprates. On molikar for example i killed 7-8 harvesters with their interceptors and i only got 1 cry. Same sort of thing happened on mars, so I think it is not related to a planet.

As for the medic raport and other info goes i posted it on the topic about the accuracy

same problem here, i went back to mars to grind some cry, i normally get around 5 cryonite drops per harvester, including interceptors give or take 2. now i try it and i go through three in a row without getting any what so ever, kill about 10 and i get no harvester drops, 20 no harvester drops, get one at 23. How are we expected to grind 240k ( the estimated price of the draconis ships with full items) with this drop rate?

 

[subzero]

i ok i shoot rank 31 Harvester killed 45 Harvester and got 4 crys i know i got bp booster but i should of least drop about 10 to 11 crys still

 

[passenger8]

-on solaria i have been taking out deathsquads on prosperous and commerce central for days, and they won´t drop anything apart from crystals and a shield from marrauders occationally:! -and the only effect at the lowered crystaldrops and the raised prices, are fewer ships in the pilotprofiles. -thus making new players have a poor game experience. -we that have the ships, knows.

Bp booster does not increase the cry drop rate.

 

[sir-vivol]

yes it does most of the time..

take a 3 hour elite bp booster.. u hardly see more bp's but cry is dropping everywhere around u

haha

 

[subzero]

dirtycopgangsta it dose low the cry rate i had it on before and i was still get 10 crys out of 45 Harvester but when the put the new update i get a lot less i get 3 out of 45 Harvester

haha

I see. Thanks for the info

 

[sir-vivol]

30 day one's dont do this btw

 

[ptfred]

About the drop rates, Have you ever noticed that some days, u get a load of crystals and some days u get a load of blueprints (without using boosters).
Well I think that the randomizer they're using to calculate what drops for you is somehow attached to the date and/or clock. that's why u get some days more bp's some days just Crystal.
but please correct me if I'm wrong.
