    Dear Trion, review your loot tables please

    its obvious you slipped an extra 0 for the rocket launchers, shotguns and a distant third, snipers

    at the same time, I'd have to do a serious effort to remember the last time I looted an AR, LMG or SMG


    seriously, the drop rate of the former compared to the later is close to 20:1...intended?

    I wouldn't mind them reviewing the rewards for side missions and normal drops. Getting horrible whites (Stabilization 1 for a San Fran Dark Matter side mission...). The randomness means I can easily do a very hard mission solo that could take upwards of 20 minutes (some Dark Matter Monitors kept spamming that shield with snipers and enforcers behind it) and get something I could buy for 1,000 scrip at a vendor.

    look drops for everything need another look. 90% of the things that drop for me are grenades and shields.

    Your experience does not reflect the experience of all players.

    Myopia is always a flaw when players try to dissect a game.

    so, in your opinion, it is statistically possible that I have noticed a large deviation in the supposed randomness of drops for 7 days in a row, but someone else's experience playing the same game, subject to the same loot table algorythms, could difer?

    you sir fail to understand how loot tables work, how programming works and even how mathematics work
    but as they say, once doesnt fail unless he tries. ty for playing.

    Snipers as third? I wish. Using a white bolt action sniper simply because I've yet to get anything else (cba buying the green from the vendor, it's pretty much the same as the white).

    Auto sniper and alien meteor (I think it's the name) are pretty common. Bolt action, no.

    It's the same for me, as for my 2others friends playing this game. It's too few to tell, but still, it's enough to investigate.

    1.) I doubt you've been tracking your drops for seven days, so I question the validity of your purported statistics.
    2.) Yes, players can experience different things working with the same system. Anyone that has played any game with item drops knows that fact.
    3.) Keep trying little buddy.

    Also, just because something is statistically unlikely, doesn't mean it's statistically impossible.

    For example, I get next to no sniper rifles, tons of ARs, and so many infectors I could scream.

    RNG is random.
