Thread: Increased Drops on Materilas O.o HUH?

Hybrid View

  1. #1

    Unhappy Increased Drops on Materilas O.o HUH?

    Well well well...... Since the patch to increase material drops from NPC's and Valleys I myself have never even seen 1 drop even though I hit Level 10 Valleys actively as I port a lot.......


    BUT Since the patch I have noticed Gems drop rarely....... Only just more frequent than Medals from Level 10 NPC's..... I mean I'll get 1 Gem usually a delicate out of about 7-10 Attacks,,,,, Medals 1 out of about 15.............



    I Was just wondering if anyone else had noticed Gems dropping less and less often since the patch to increase the drops?

    And If anyone had had any luck with Materials dropping? Seems Materials from NPC's / Valleys are rarer than hitting the 1k cents

    Unless you're on the 1st few servers,1 thru 4, that I'm aware of, because I play 1 & 4, the medal drop is practically zero. I agree there has been no noticable increase in medals, on other, higher numbered servers where I play.

    I have not gotten a single Gem from NPCS on Server na4 in at least 3 weeks. I Farm about 50 lvl 9s and 15 lvl 10s daily along with about 60 lvl 5s as well and have not gotten any gems. and atm have 2 failed stars one was at 11 and the other was at 10 and neither can go back up because evony wont drop gems i went thru over 800 just trying to get those back to where they were and 1 is stuck at 0 while the other is stuck at 5. i have never gotten a material from farming/valleys i get medals often but thats it im racking up loads of justice/nation medals so i can persuade heroes but cant fix my gear.

    Materials don't drop. Back in April 2010 they dropped. Then they stopped, evony said we can get them on the wheel. Then recently Evony said materials drop again. But myself nor anyone I know has ever seen a material drop since they said they started dropping. Maybe they just gave the material drop chance lke 1 in 5,000 hits?

    Asmo, of all people you should know that it does not matter what troop types you send when hunting for drops. That is a myth. So long as you win the attack. Heros don't matter either. Does not matter if the hero has high intel like some say.
    All the guides and stuff you write.... I thought you knew better?

    I've gotten some materials from flats. Trust me GE, it was like I found the holy grail when I opened that 1 war report. A piece of cloth. It was like looking into the eyes of God.


    Ok it wasn't really that fantastic but yes, I have gotten 1 material since they re-instituted --oh, I mean increased, material drops. And gem drops have fallen since then for me. And pity those folks who need honor medals... HA I see them now about as often as I pickup lost armor scripts. Actually, now that I think about it, its a little less then that.

    People wonder why drop rates plummet after a merge. It's because medals held by players just doubled or tripled, depending on how many servers merged.

    If you want drop rates to increase, then you must lower the on-hand supply. Evony's supply/demand equation will increase the drop rate to meet the demand set by their Evony math (I just threw up in my mouth a little when I said "Evony math" ). If you want to improve the drop rate of ANYTHING, then get EVERY player on your server to agree to stop hoarding that item.

    ... Good luck with that.

    As players hoard any item, the supply side of the equation goes up.
    As players gain ranks and titles, the demand side of the medals equation is lowered.
    As players research gear, the demand side of the material equation is lowered.
    As long as supply outweighs the calculated demand, drop rates will SUCK.

    If the drop rate of materials was static, then after a year (when everyone had all the gear researched), there would be a glut of useless materials in everyone's inventory. By allowing the drop rate to dynamically lower, there are less superfluous drops. Look at Age 1 players with literally thousands of the lower level medals cluttering their inventory. At least Age 2 has the turn-in quest to dump excess medals. Are those quests repeatable? They weren't in beta, but they should be to provide a medal-sink.

    No, they're not. Those of us playing age 2 for a while have a glut of medals and material. I won't even go into the hoard of useless crap I have in my age 1 account, now 18 months old.

    It would be nice to have a way to turn these items back in for an amulet or something else useful. I have 130 lvl 100/150 heros, I really don't need the 37 Leather Helms sitting in my inventory.
