Had a few more purples from lockboxes and even had some from arkfall rewards. Too many green and white though and it's taking ages to salvage :/ Don't know if it's just me, but noticed an inordinate amount of ammo being dropped too.
Actually they called it "bonus loot weekend". I read the description and didnt see anything about increased rare loot in it. It says players who participate in activities like arkfalls, missions, co-op maps, etc. have a 25% increased chance to get more loot.
The description didnt say anything about increased rare loot from lockboxes either.
I tend to trade off my oranges. The only one that I've hung onto is an orange Radioactive VOT Tachmag Pulser with a 0.09 bloom/recoil. Its since gotten put away though since a friend found me a green Tachmag with a -0.01 bloom. Yes, that is correct. It has a NEGATIVE bloom. xD
With all boosts active I had an extra 55% for loot drops and after about 100 lock boxes still nothing. Its pathetic.
It was a mixture of level 2 , 3, and 4 boxes and still not one orange. I got maybe two purples but mostly green and A couple of blues. Its crazy. Even after spending some real cash on boosts you would think with the bonus loot boost being up 55% I would have an entire bag of oranges. But nope!!!!! Come on trion, make the oranges for sale in vendors as specials. This is pathetic!!!
As a member of the Defiance team would say to you "That pesky RNG can be evil sometimes. Some people will never find a legendary while others will pull tons!"
Annoyance
After many attempts before this weekend to open Tier 1,2, 3, and four i finally got an orange Friday and yesterday i got another orange.
Both out of tier 3 but my EGO level was 1200- yes it has taken that long to get a single orange
Getting a Legendary truly is like gambling- those of us that get no oranges keep pumping in the coin in the machines for those that pull out several
While the loot weekend was great for Ark Salvage i still find myself in need of more space, lol
Quit griping about whites and greens, its bonus Loot, not Better loot. Just seems pointless for anyone saying the weekend is crap when the purpose is ONLY gaining Salvage.
Just gamble on T-4's when you have 64 keys, and stock salvage for whatever you want... I.E. another member has given me the insight to look Forward, save all my Salvage for when Cast Blades come out. I will then wait and make sure boxes are dropping Orange Blades (cuz you all know itll be glitched -_-), then ill cash in for keys.
See? a little work now = 6 T-4 boxes later (6 so far, working on T-4 box #7 atm)
