Valor 51 here, it's been hit or miss. The 1st set of weekly/daily bags I got 4 pieces. Since then, it seems like 1 piece every 7-8 bags. Still have not scene my main had weapon, but a guildie @ valor 25 has got 3 of them. ***.

RNG PvP is a terrible design, but that seems to be a consistent theme. Why they hired the warhammer failures is a mystery to me.

Guy 1 derp derp derp hey! 5 boxes 5 set pieces!

Guy 2 feelsbadman hey! 25 boxes and 75 comms of the low pvp tier...

Guy 1 invests several hours and has full gear

Guy 2 invests several weeks and has limited gear of the lowest tier.

RNG is a terrible way to distribute time based grind gear. As a person of poor luck I cant begin to say how unfun it is to be guy #2.
For every man there is a sentence, a string of words, which has the power to destroy him.

I think it's okay to get more relics, as there is a selection and you may change your mind on which one you want to use (bearing in mind you can use 2 at a time).

I agree the system is very flawed. Why not just have the centurion commendations be able to be bought by themselves. Or just have gear itself be able to be bought. Rather than have bags be random and cost 200/200 I would rather pay 500/500 or even 1000/1000 if it meant I had a 100% chance of getting the item I wanted.

Also just so everyone knows you need 13 bags to get one item (each bag has 3 comms and gear is 39 comms). Weapons are 72 so you would need 24 bags just for 1 item. Also you could have very bad luck and get duplicates and duplicate bags give 1 comm per bag so at that rate you would need 72 bags just for one lousy piece of gear.

Most of the centurion gear is crappy anyway besides the expertise stat. My fully modded pve gear has better stats than all the centurion gear so the only purpose of bags is a random shot at champion gear. I have to grind to 60 valor until I start getting commendations I can actually start saving up.

ok so im jumping on the bandwagon...

Rank 54 valor and i have a friend who is rank 33 we did all the weeklys today thats 10 bags by the time u trade up to 400 merc from the 9 bg wins it takes .

10bags each he gets

mh , oh , head , chest , boots and 2 gloves so now he pretty much full geared and doesnt need to worry about rng anymore.

Now onto me i opened my 10 bags and got nothing , nada...

So i sign up for bgs and grind another 8 wins for a bag as i really dont like quitting but guess what it rewarded me with a pair of gloves that i already had.


so im on about 40 bags now and 2 bits of gear both the same .........


I want to see some changes please .


these forums are full of nerf this nerf that he is op she is op whats op is someone getting full gear in 3 hours and someone else trying for months



Shame i really liked the game even with all its flaws this is just a bit to much for me i cant grind endless hours for no rewards

have any devs addressed this problem do they even know that a lot of people who grind are on the verge of unsubbing because of rng?

The problem really is that some people are just too luckey and some are too unlucky. A guy in my guild has opened 8 bags his first day as 50 and got 3 champion armor peices, ******** if u ask me because hes valor rank 25. Ive opened 30 bags and rank 35, and ive gotten 2 peices and a crap relic.

The problem i have with this isnt that I only have 2 peices, because it should take a while to get the gear. My problem is that some people just get outragously lucky and they dont deserve it more then anyone else.

Maybe up the amount of Centurion coms in the bags without gear to 5 so i can actually afford the centurion weapon without having to do 200+ war zones for something lucky people get for free.
