Totemdancer Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I see a potential problem with obtaining the gear like that. If you don’t know what it is when you accept it, can you still disintegrate it? If so, do you get crystals or do you get UCs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darevsool Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 (edited) i claimed it. I was going to drop my crew skill, get artifice, and see if I could RE it. Then, after I claimed it, I remembered I could have just got one from the vendor so it was too late to disintegrate it.

MacCleoud Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 As long as it is still in your crate stash, you should be able to disintegrate it...... I think.... I would hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darev Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 I just tried 150 more crates, no new stuff at all. They were from fresh transfers, e-mail to toon inventory. I'm trying another toon with 50, this time putting them in my cargo hold and logging off that toon for awhile. I'll go back and see if that matters.

There seems to be some variety in the rewards that you get from crates that are copied from live and crates that you gain by using cxp packs on PTS (from packs that you transfer from live).

I'm beginning to accept that as a possibility. The last 50 bore no new items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandFlurry Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 That's too much RNG crap really, especially if you already have 248 gear. They gotta stop this system. 50 to 150 with or without. They should've developed a better system than Galactic command system by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thayya Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 (edited) I'm beginning to accept that as a possibility. The last 50 bore no new items. I opened 300 of them. No new stuff at all. I actually don't care if 252 drops from transferred command crates on pts, but am more worried if 252 will drop from crates collected before the patch when it'll go live Edited November 24, 2018 by Thayya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually don't care if 252 drops from transferred command crates on pts, but am more worried if 252 will drop from crates collected before the patch when it'll go live I suspect that it will take a reboot to update the code to bring the saved crates "current" There was a PTS reboot after my initial toon transfers until I opened the first couple batches. The 2nd transfers...there hasn't been a reboot yet. I'm sitting on 200+ waiting for a PTS reboot to test THAT theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thayya Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 (edited) Update: I just opened 200 crates generated on pts and still got no 252 But still have cxp packs left for I guess over 1000 crates so I'll keep testing Edited November 25, 2018 by Thayya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if this is the final setting, then it’s very disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thayya Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 (edited) The drop rate on the pts may not be properly set. But if this is the final setting, then it’s very disappointing. Yep if the drop rate's going to be low like that it's not even worth doing anything to get that gear via command crates. Compared to the drop rate of CMTs which is very low by now: I got 6 of them out of 200 crates. Guess for me it would be the best way to get the gear by Ossus weekly mission then. Or with the MWS if there will be missions matching my preferred type of content which actually is operations and conquest, rp left aside UCs dropping from Nim bosses not to forget. Will also be very helpful. Edited November 25, 2018 by Thayya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordAppius Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Took me 62 boxes to get a 252 token (implant). Since it is purple the dps increase is marginal. I fail to see where it will affect the current meta. Players who are doing nim will be able to progress through the new nim content. The biggest game changer here was the 258 mainhand, since it won't be available until 5.11? i don't see the real need for new gear. Since bioware mentioned new content coming early next year (by early they probably mean March), i thnk it will be that Exile Don guy or another generic dude added to the story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totemdancer Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Since bioware mentioned new content coming early next year (by early they probably mean March), Experience from years past shows March is usually the end of March or early April with bugs that need patching for 2-3 weeks. I really hope we don’t get stuck into that cycle again or the one we had last year that took 9 months of slowly adjusting the gearing system to fix it.

Thayya Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 (edited) Opened some more crates (now 300 in total), still no 252 gear but found out sth new and quite ridiculous. Looks like there's a limit of how many cxp you can earn per week. What the...? Cxp packs used anyway are just gone and you can't even disintegrate anymore so I had to claim and sell all the sh*t dropping out of that 40 crates I had left. Also you don't get any cxp from quests or enemies you kill. Does that make any sense? Edited November 26, 2018 by Thayya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
