The Vectron BWL Wraith drop rate is too darn high!

I could understand your concern if you hadn't gotten so much other stuff. I've gotten about the same number of Golden Certificates and about 5 CMCs, but only 1 companion contract and 2 speeders**. So, RNG, I guess. :)

 

** So far. I'm still trying to get a second contract for my other main.

 

I notice the companion has a customization slot. Anyone know if there are any customizations for it yet?

Not that I'm aware of, but the same is true of:

* The Gamguard from last year's and the year before's slot machines

* Dazh Ranos

* Darth Hexid

* Nico Okarr

* Paxton Rall

Would also be great if we could change the clothes on nico & Paxton

Far better than I am doing.

Had far to many CMC, mainly because I just don't need them as I got everything I wanted years ago from the rep venders. On my accounts that could do with a few items just, don't have the rep points.

Had lot of Gold Certs but that's OK as can use and do want them. Had just one companion so far which was yesterday.

Two bikes but had these last year anyway.

 

Finally got though the casino chips I brought so done with the nightlife event. If the companion had a much higher drop rate I would continue to play. As I have many alts and the companion is not unlockable accountwide. At present though I feel drop rate is far to low for the companion and feel I am wasting my time doing the casino's. If the idea was just as a credit sink well them BW really need to give us more of a reason to play.

I'd just chalk it up to the RNG I've played the nightlife event each time it's run and to date still havent gotten better than a golden certificate. People complaining about getting too many rewards and getting drop rates nerfed while others still can't get a good roll of the RNG just sounds silly. Enjoy your success, don't try to make it harder for those of us who haven't been sucessful.

Ive spent around 1.5mil on the low cost chips and not got a speeder. But I have gotten two Companion contracts, 4 CMC and 56 golden certificates, So I don’t see how the drip is too darn high.
I am furious now, you seem so lucky.

 

I used like 3k green chips and as yet I got 5 wraith speeders (already had them in the dozens from previous events), ~25 CRC, ~80 GC and a lot of frustration. Just close to 300 GC in total now.

Agree with this, have gotten 2/3 k smugg chips, and even bought a large amount of kingpin chips, have still yet to get the comp, and only managed to get 1 mount, and about 60 certs or so. If anyone feels you are too lucky, please try and send some of your luck my way ;)

"Too darn high"??? :eek:

 

I spent 7 million credits so far on tokens, mostly smuggler's (and a couple of King Pins). My rewards:

 

28 x Golden Cert

4 x Cartel Market Certificate

2 x Wraith

 

The only thing I am interested in is the companion. Since the RNG is too terrible to make this event fun (it never was), I will go for 2 more Golden Certs and then wait for next year to buy him for 30 GCs.

 

If there would be a higher drop rate for the companion, I would spend more credits in order to get him for as many alts as possible. But BW chose to go that way and so I keep on hording my credits instead.

You have more luck than i do, i spend roughly 8 million credits so far and got:

 

22 x GC

10 x CMC

and ZERO big wins.

Unfortunately it varies badly, heard of one person getting 7 mounts, 60 cert, and lots of golden stuff, but no companion, but the person beside them got little in the way of certs, and other stuff, but got 3 companions...lol Edited by DarkTergon

Yeah I think its very Random, except for the fact I have not gotten a Rodian yet.

180 goldens

75 cartel

4 mounts

no contract

I have spent about 10 million so far.

I do the smugglers till I have 5 to 7 kingpins and the luck buff, once my buff is gone back to smuggler slots.

Just last night I was at the vendor in the Casino buying some of the Kingpin chips**. There was also another player there who went directly from the vendor to the Kingpin slots. I doubt that he was "Feeling Lucky" the whole time.

 

So, it seems that some people still don't know the "proper" way to run the slots:

Basically, you want to run the Gambler's slot machines until you get the "Feeling Lucky" buff, and only then go to the Kingpin slots. Also, go back to the Gambler's slots again when the FL buff runs out, or you win a prize that cancels it.

 

**I know it's more expensive to buy the Kingpin chips, but I have lots of credits and I don't want to spend all night playing the Gambler's slots. :)

Not so much. I’ve spent another 1.5 mil and got 4 cartel certificates an 8 golden certificates. RNG is strong in this event.

Aside from not getting the companion, I think that you are super lucky so far in this event.

That's how I do it, too, so this cannot be the reason for your luck. It must be something else. Something exciting. ;)

 

I was wondering when someone would come in this year and complain about this. It wouldn't be the nightlife event without someone complaining about a drop rate.

 

You were wondering about someone complaining about a too high drop rate? :eek:

Well, gee, people are learning that random numbers are random, that casinos set the odds so that they profit in the long run and we don't, and that the Mistress of Pain(1) hates us all.

 

(Sorry. This kind of thread brings out my cynical(2) and derisive side.)

 

(1) Readers of Terry Pratchett's work will probably call Her "The Lady", which is OK. Some people call her "Lady Luck", which is probably also OK. Heretics call Her "RNGesus", which is blatant blasphemy.

 

(2) I used this word on purpose.

I beg to differ.

 

There is no random, there is the Math!

 

There is no spoon :D

 

Actually that would be a cool consolation title if you spent a bunch of credits on tokens and got no real rewards once you used all them all. :p
