[2019] Drop rate CHANGES over time??(ASIAN PLAYER)

Can you comment on why power level effects the drop chance of MW/legendary items? Higher power level you are the more they drop.

Good to know. Can you reassure us that the loot update is still in place? A lot of players in this subreddit are reporting that their loot seems to have dropped off in the last two days. It feels like it did before the update.

I ran GM3 for an hour and only ended up with 3 MWs, no legendaries. I ran GM2 for four hours and only got 2 MWs. This is with 96% luck. That seems low, way lower than how great the loot was on Friday.

I know that's a small sample size, and if you say this is just variance, ok. But it seems like a huge dropoff, and a lot of people are reporting the same thing.

Ok that make sense. Thank you for confirming it. Sorry about the extra comment but you replied quicker then I expected before I could edit links but the shared drop rate on power level presented in this post is just a coincidence I assume?

Just curious... do you say that because that's how you know it's coded, or because testing was done in-game to confirm this after the adjustment last week, or both?

To be clear, I'm not trying to be overly critical or a jerk or anything. I'm just genuinely curious about how it's confirmed on your side. I'm sure quite a few people are a little skeptical about things that are unconfirmed via in-game testing, but just "That's what the code says, so that's how it is." because of things like the Lvl 1 rifle bug, etc that have shaken confidence a bit. Thanks for taking time to post on the sub. It's really awesome that so many of you take time to engage this and other social media communities. :D

How about drop quality?

I don't think there's been any discussion about item drop frequency variance, indeed it seems stable, but there's a ton of discussion about quality, which is most definitly affected by factors such as pilot level and luck.

I believe there is a glitch that causes you to occasionally swap levels with friends/recommended people, which may explain some things. I made this post a few weeks ago where my 450 (pre-buff) colossus showed as power level 81 for a bit. In the same instance, I received only common/uncommon items (before that change as well) for the first few chests. I found out after making that post that my friend (just on my list, wasn't playing with them or anything) was a level 81 colossus at that time. I know there's other people experiencing a similar issue pretty much permanently, only getting common/uncommon items while doing GM1+ stuff, so possibly related.

I've got that bug since 1.0.3 and it's not fixed yet

I'm sure you genuinely believe that, but then Ben also insisted that the health bug was just a UI bug. I'm only 1 person so I've only got so much data to work with, but after reading that post and testing it myself I found it to be accurate.

Hi. I'm really grateful that you responded in the first place, and I hate to be a bother, but is there any word on this?

Originally posted by takeshikun

Not currently, just wanted to call it out as something I've seen since you mentioned pilot level was tied into it and I hadn't seen anyone report the swapping thing specifically before. I do know I've seen posts saying they've gotten it since then though, if I catch another I'll tell them to ping you, if that's cool.

If all of this shows it's working as intended, then why is there such perceived disparity between drops people are experiencing?

Is there a quick rule of thumb for what players should normally expect to see?
