CCP Frame C C P C C P Alliance 4632	Posted - 2014.10.30 08:08:00 - [1] - Quote During the week of November 20-27, players will experienced higher than normal drop rate of Officer-grade weapons from Public Contracts. These weapons are only obtainable through End of Match screen and salvage that comes with it. This is the perfect week for every Mercenary to experience the top of the line experimental weaponry of New Eden including brand-new light weapons like Double-shot Plasma Cannon and Fully automatic Shotgun.

The conclusion was that the exciting new content of Uprising 1.9 (Nov. 4) would be just too much to go in conjunction with this event, so we wanted to let you all get used to the new shiny things and then get some Officer gear (possibly even new Officer Sidearms, depending on how fast winners communicate with us) CCP Frame

Jadek Menaheim Xer Cloud Consortium 4104	Posted - 2014.10.30 08:35:00 - [5] - Quote Fair enough. There is a lot of awesome shininess coming our way. Really curious to see that market vendor. Yes, I'm shallow. Try the new Planetary Conquest Mode!

Thokk Nightshade KNIGHTZ OF THE ROUND 636	Posted - 2014.10.31 00:50:00 - [19] - Quote I'm going to parrot what's been said already. Is there some quantitative formula used to determine drops i.e. what type of weapon is dropped? I swear when I get an officer weapon of any kind (outside of the 3 Thales in a year and a half), it is something I'm not skilled into. I would swear this is on purpose to get people to use SP to skill into something they don't really want in order to use a new shiny toy they are not able to. I use Rail Rifles, Combat Rifles, Sniper rifles, and HMG's almost exclusively. I have NEVER, in a year and a 1/2, received an Officer variant of any of these outside the 3 Thales I mentioned. I have, however, received plenty of either proto or officer shotguns, scrambler rifles, and laser rifles, all of which I have basically no skill points (I'm level 1 in every weapon just for access to something better than a militia weapon). I would like someone to prove to me this is absolutely coincidental and not an effort to make me waste SP skilling into weapons I don't even want to use. Thokk Kill. Thokk Crush. Thokk Smash.

Banjo Robertson Evzones Public.Disorder. 293	Posted - 2014.10.31 12:14:00 - [25] - Quote I like this event, will you be kicking up the drop rate to like.. 100% chance of getting an officer weapon each battle? Will you be changing the base drop rate for officer weapons after the event is over to make them slightly more common but still not super common?

deezy dabest IMPERIAL SPECIAL FORCES GROUP 1071	Posted - 2014.11.03 21:26:00 - [27] - Quote Can we get more details on what "higher than normal" drop rates are? I am simply not going to waste my time in scrub contracts to get 3 officer weapons in a full day. Higher than normal for me would mean 1 every 500 matches instead of every 1500 matches that I get them at now.

deezy dabest IMPERIAL SPECIAL FORCES GROUP 1076	Posted - 2014.11.04 18:59:00 - [31] - Quote Still no answer on what "higher than normal drop rates are"? I understand that the exact formula still may be getting rechecked but any details will help on the decision making of if this event will entice me into giving up the FW front for a week. Also I think considering all the work that has been done to factional considering some way of creating a few drops in FW would be more than awesome.

Moonracer2000 Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 830	Posted - 2014.11.06 11:16:00 - [35] - Quote Can we get a idea of current drop rates and event drop rates? I would also like to know what the drop chances are for officer weapons. I feel like 85% of the officer weapons I got were from the first six months after the game being released. Now it feels like my chances of getting drops are maybe one in a thousand matches. If I play 20 matches during the event how likely am I to get anything?

HUGH MANITY C0NTRA UNIT RUST415 3	Posted - 2014.11.14 15:35:00 - [39] - Quote I wish I could be more excited by this event, but there are issues I can`t ignore. Accelerated loot drops sounds great in theory, but at what rate do they drop? IMO anything from 1 - 100% of diddly squat is still diddly squat. I have a friend who gets officer loot at least 4-6 times a week average, and is sitting on almost 70 Thales. One fellow posted here he has received exactly 1 Thales drop in a year and a half. I think CCP has gotten pretty cheap in the past year. Even `gifts` from them through the newsletter have been stingy. And the BPO`s? An obvious last minute money grab to wring every dollar out of us before the end comes? And the push Factional Warfare, is excruciatingly slow to load. Stop pushing, it`s rude.
deezy dabest IMPERIAL SPECIAL FORCES GROUP 1135	Posted - 2014.11.17 21:35:00 - [40] - Quote Still no answer (or even a hint) as to how the drops will occur. I suppose I will be grinding the first day to see what I get and then rage quitting Dust for the week when I get SQUAT. Too bad this is going to kill FW as well which is the only place I have fun. They can increase my salvage rate by 1000% and I will still only get 3 of one of the weapons in a full week of grinding. CANCEL this event and just give X per X kills with the same weapon type so that at least we know what we are grinding not just running ****** payouts burning ISK hoping for our lottery ticket to win.

Yeah, I have zero faith in this event for the same reasons, this also means AFKing will be heavily increased. It would be much better if they had done what you suggested. I could then earn Kalante's ARs by getting kills with my ARs, and so on and so forth. 10 kills for 1 officer weapon sounds good to me (maybe 15-20 if CCP doesn't want no-lifers to walk away with hundreds but that would punish the rest of us more).

I have been first place on probably over half the matches I have played since this Officer Event started and I have not received a single Officer Weapon as of yet. This event sucks.
Moonracer2000 Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 833	Posted - 2014.11.22 06:19:00 - [46] - Quote I have to agree with others that this event so far has not felt worth it. I can think of two ways they could have improved it: 1. Give us hard numbers: A % chance during event, and normally, for officer weapon drops would allow players to know whether it is worth it for them. Especially for casual players like myself who don't have time to play 20+ matches a day. 2. Increase normal loot drops even more: If on average we got at least something every 2-3 matches or so it wouldn't be as depressing. 8 matches in and all I got a grenade and a specialist sniper rifle. Especially now that we can sell assets, getting random loot I don't want/can't use gives me an excuse to try that feature out. Some people might even think paying AUR for an agent is worth while ;)
Henrietta Unknown Kirjuun Heiian 502	Posted - 2014.11.22 07:22:00 - [47] - Quote Can confirm. AFK'd 10+ matches yesterday and got a handsome number - the number I feel should be incorporated for ALL players throughout this event. Then today I actually play 10+ matches, scoring no less than 6th place on every leaderboard. Nothing. This isn't fair. Give the Magsex some love.

This is the perfect week for every Mercenary to experience the top of the line experimental weaponry of New Eden including brand-new light weapons like Double-shot Plasma Cannon and Fully automatic Shotgun. Frame are you serious! Over 40 battles in officer week only 4 salvages and no new weapons like u speak of! Wtf make it noticeable if ur doing officer week i salvage more normally. Fix this before its over ffs. What a joke!
jett it MONSTER SYNERGY 0	Posted - 2014.11.23 21:28:00 - [49] - Quote Frame i dont mean to be rude but this really is a joke you need to dramatically increase all players salvages otherwise officer week will go down and is going down as a horrible event. Listen to your players right here in this topic alone. Not much time left frame but you can fix it and save the event its not too late. Otherwise there is no difference between officer week and normal salvages if anything u get less in officer week. Way less! Like seriously do something like asap dont just sit and watch the event fail horribly!

CCP Frame C C P C C P Alliance 4793	Posted - 2014.11.24 05:46:00 - [50] - Quote We are actively looking at the data from battles and will adjust drop rate if needed of these extremely powerful weapons. Drop rate is increased by roughly 5x compared to the normal drop rate of Officer weapons. Yes, they are rare and yes drops are not guaranteed, but obtaining an Officer weapon shouldn't be something that is common within the game. Again, we are watching numbers - both me and Rattati and will adjust if needed for next few days or for next event when we add Sidearms as well. But our data does show 5x increase of Officer drops overall on TQ. CCP Frame

But our data does show 5x increase of Officer drops overall on TQ. Wouldn't it have made more sense to give us 1 officer weapon for X amount of kills made with the normal version? So combat rifle kills would earn you officer combat rifles up to a certain limit. Right now, not only are some people receiving ZERO salvage, when they did eventually get salavage or an officer weapon, it tends to often be a weapon they can't use. Because of this, this event is not as exciting as it could have been. The only way anyone can try out the new officer weapons,if they're aren't skilled enough, is to BUY a respec from you guys and skill into them. And then BUY another respec to skill back into the stuff they had before. Seems a bit much to me.

Unfortunately I have already quit for the week because this event is a massive failure in my opinion. An event based on "random" drops is probably the most grindy idea you guys have come up with. I thought you guys had accepted that events should be less of a grind?

I think we should combine these two ideas, perhaps for the next event. 5x the chance of getting whatever and a way to work for the ones you want. Of course, these weapons are "extremely powerful," so it shouldn't be easy to get them. So I figure 3 weapons (the usual amount of Officer salvage) for every 75 or 100 kills with said weapon. Maybe less for AV weapons, since they take more work to rack up the kills. GÇ£Never argue with a fool, onlookers may not be able to tell the difference.GÇ¥ GÇò Mark Twain

Because then I could have looked at the fact that I've gotten, at best, 5 officer drops in the last year of playing and not gotten excited about the event. This feels like an event where the average player will probably not benefit at all. And considering it is also timed after 1.9 I'm guessing a lot of people are using this event as an excuse to come back and try the game again. I'm one of those people. Popped an active booster and thought I'd play every day for the event. Maybe even get back into playing regularly. Haven't played since saturday morning.
Mr.Pepe Le Pew Art.of.Death VP Gaming Alliance 12	Posted - 2014.11.24 17:57:00 - [55] - Quote A few guys from our alliance noticed that players with little SP have gotten a lot of officer weapon drops. The reverse is also true. Seasoned players have gotten maybe one drop of officer weapon salvage. This is not an event. It is a major failure. 1.9 had huge improvements and the entire player base was excited about the new changes. However, CCP reminded us of how CCP has worked in the past. Never fulfilling their promises. Dropping the ball on many counts and calling them glitches. CCP has taken advantage of our hard earned money and cut our SP earnings per battle expecting us to buy triple boosters to somehow cap out every week at 750. This is ridiculous. I submitted a ticket to ask for an explanation, and they've failed to answer to my questions. I've yet to hear from them and it has been 2 weeks since I submitted my support ticket. This event is a failure. I've played 4 days and received 1 officer weapon drop. Everything is wishy washy with CCP. They shouldn't call it an event. They should call it a player trolling event. Yet...we are CCP's maids (for lack of a better explicit word)...we come back for more. Except I'm getting tired of it. Did I mention match making is still broken? PS- Yes. this is a rant.

As you can see here frame everyone is discusted at this event. Since most players never ever get salvages make officer week noticeable! So i take it 5 players of 32 players every battle get a salvage judging by your x5 salvage rate. Also your random deploy methods of these salvages kinda really suck i know players that get ten salvages in a row while others get NOTHING AT ALL! Failure of an event so far bigg time!
jett it MONSTER SYNERGY 3	Posted - 2014.11.24 21:58:00 - [59] - Quote I guess you just dont care when your players tell you numberous times that x5 drop rate is simply not enough. Keep not listening soon you will be wondering why you have no players anymore. Officer weapons are rare correct but when the time comes like officer week they should be common if anything as players run out really fast if they were lucky enough to salvage anything at all.

HOWEVER... TODAY I NOTICED I ACTUALLY GOT SOME JUICY LOOT!!! YAY!!!! PS: I-¦m a lousy player with, at my best, average WP scores.

The drop rate during this event was far from excessive, and it seems a shame to relegate fun and unique weaponry to only being found once every hundred matches or so.
