I think admins should slightly increase the droprate.

Needs to be increased majorly, I heard they stopped dropping

Hard to vote really. Screws needs to start dropping together with whatever else doesn't drop at all, but it cant go back to the way it was when WoZ started, then every1 would have the same things, and thats not really the solution either.

please, let's not turn these items into everyone having them like SR items. Granted a slight increase (less than 1%) may not be bad. Especially on the items no one has seen in hours.

Or they could actually inform us of the true drop rate. Another post said between 3 and 0.05%, which is a big difference.

well why the ppls that have been online when it started should been privileged of that? I'm at different time zone and have been sleeping when it started so now i have to pay shitloads if i want some nice neck. that's stupid. if you do something keep it like that till it ends so everyone can be happy and think more next time you do something

lol actually... a 0.1 % increase in drop would be like 100 or 1000 time the current drop rate (i'd estimate they actually changed the rate to 1 in 100,000 or 1 in 1,000,000 based on what I've seen in the forums)... I know for a fact the items are dropping... just rarely... I got a polish last night... I dont know about screws and bolts :P I wouldnt mind them upping that drop drate to like 10 times its current rate :P

and i prolly should have been in bed not long after launch but instead stayed up and hit mobs for the next 12 hours.

i dont think drop rates should change in the middle of a wave (if they truly did decrease it) especially without letting us know. If they did not lower the drop rates and it has been the same the whole time, then i say leave it alone.

and I do not have the upgraded boots or neck, and don't have too much of anything on my other characters, and I still believe it to be true

Drop rate should either be increased slightly or this round lasting a few days longer. Cause I know I didn't get to start WoZ until yesterday at like 11am, and at this rate I wont be able to get any caldran items, and I know many are in the same boat as I am. So far only people that have gotten the calduran items paid for peices and were on right when it released.

Agreed.
Increase in drop rates or wave length would help.
And you are definitely correct with saying "many are in the same boat as I am.", most who live in Europe are, I believe.

yeah it was put out at midnight uk time, which they always seem to do lol it was poor :p

Thats why i said in some other post, they should just lower drop rate of shards (would make the wave last longer) or higher drop rate of the others.

What's this 'droprate' you talk about ?

I voted yes..

changing the drop rate from .05% on the rarest item to .1% is still an increase from 1/2000 to 1/1000 - That's a huge difference weither the number is small or not. I'd rather keep these rare, even if it means I don't get one.

The drops are good for some people but most people don't even get to complete the items unless they pay for it!
Sure i know thats ow's plans but still its unfair that some people get rich just because screws and wires and other rare drops drop like 10 times to them.
the droprate should be a bit more random and raised slightly, not much but just a bit to make it more fair, and that don't mean lower the stats again.

I agree that it must be rare. But the droprate right now is way too low

And is changing the droprates a few hours after the event started is not a difference? Isn't it too much unfair for the ppls that are from europe ?

idk if its just me but my luck must be worst then the drop rate cant find shhh no bolts no botle no Metal Objects no Random Wires nothing hmmm

PS: also not being able to drop items from back pack also don't help ;) Ticket 3771 rules !!

lol, like u would see any difference :) pathetic.. its more cuz of LUCK then of drop rate. if ya r lucky u will get if not u wont, and as items r super duper powerfull drop rate shoudl stay as it is i say.

02-08-2008, 11:00 AM
As it is ? as in 0.00000001% ??
i dont know if you've noticed or not but no screws AT ALL dropped in the past 12 hrs all over sigil atleast - can some1 PROVE otherwise - ??
We know that atleast 2/3 of the ppl voting no just say so so they could sell theirs for HIGH pts but its WoZ has kinda ended for everyone yesterday since nothing rare is dropping anymore

People in the US who started early got 2-3 screws, i kno some ppl who got 2 and more in under 1 hour when it started, but after that they stopped droppin, which affected us ppl in europe and other time zones

as alot just answered the drop rate must increase as for giving more chances for the young people of outwar who dont got points to buy the stuff if the drop rate increase the more people will stay online but like this only people buying will stay and play
i know i might be stupid but this game for some players is over they just come and do the war but for other still starting they see this war as a chance so give it to them

This isn't about everyone getting the items. . Trust me. . I WISH I had the items. I spent a lot of my hard earned points on Recharge the furies in order to get the items. I've used at least 15 fury potions and only got 1 bottle of polish which leaves me out of luck. . .But the fact remains it should remain a complete rarity.

FaTCaT_TbN
02-08-2008, 11:12 AM
Rare is one thing but completly impossible anymore since drop rate is close to zero IS something else, i do believe nt even 10% of outwar should be able to get it, but i also believe your hard work should get it to you not spending hard points.
As i said ive spent 120K+ so far and some in my crew spent 200K + and we didnt get 1 single screw, is that the fair play ow dictates ??
Ive heard a screw got sold for 2.1K pts, so how come that guy gets a chance while many others dont, so its nt about the gaming and dcing anymore, its pure simply purchasing everything so why dont we all quit and let those that are willin to buy thousands of pts play the way the want without our poor ppl's complaints ??

No offence to any1, but this isnt being logical at all, why kill the drop wen wave still had like 24 hrs to go ?? so wut u just wanna compensate ppl by letting them finish the belt and ring quests ?? while the rich community can get wutever L33t items they desire ??

But thx to the wild drop rates in the beginning, it aint. And dont come here saying "too bad u weren't on when it happened". Counts for every1.

Zhul is about being smart, not being rich.

When Zhul first started many members of my crew, after seeing the 'secret recipe' anticpated rarity and bought up Screws/Polishes/Metals/Wires for 25-50pts each early. . .These are the guys in my crew that have them now.

These are the same principals that were followed in the first 5 Zhul rounds last time, including the Kinetic round where the drop rates were abysmal at best.

You don't need a lot of points for Zhul but it's best to have a few in the beginning - Even as little as 50. . .$2.50 hardly rich.

At what time do they launch new rounds? I heard it's midnight GMT(UK time), do you know?

Which is exactly what people are saying, people in eu time zones got screwed because they were not around due to it launching so late at night. So while everyone who lived in a time zone where it was still early had a big advantage due to the items dropping where as people in eu time zones missed the start of it and now can not get those items without buying them at a stupid price.

i've been sitting and attacking lvl 25's since a few hours after woz came out.. I have not seen a single Screws and Bolts drop for me either. I also wasnt getting any Halo's and then bam I had like 10 of them drop within an hour. but also noticed everyone else was getting them to drop unlike the Screws and Bolts/Wires ect.. ever since they made the upgrade neck/sandals I havent seen nor heard of anyone getting Screws and Bolts Random Wires Metal Objects or anything else really rare to drop at all.

I say raise the drop rate slightly but not too much where it will flood the servers with drops like everything else..

Btw what I hate is that you get 20+ of Fire and Water and everything else, but yet you cant drop them unless you drop them all
