So far this GE is completely meaningless to me as I have 2 fully optimised sets of each of the 3 CS sets of Lone Star, Firecrest and Predators Mark.
I have not used any of them in some time so I do not need any extra sets of these 3 CS collections
I have decided the Reclaimer set was useless for how I play, which is predominantly solo, so I have no reclaimer pieces at all. So I do not need anymore.
I have purchased the general caches, not the set specific caches and have 12 CS pieces from them so far. Every single piece was from the featured sets.
I have only gotten 2 CS drops from killing LZ bosses, some 12 rounds, 15 X 12 = 180 events for 2 drops, seriously, a "fabulous return" for effort and both of those were Reclaimer.
I have completed daily runs in the DZ and opened multiple locked loot boxes and all 3 CS rewards from all of those were Reclaimer (2) and Firecrest (1).
I completed a Challenging level run on Stolen Signal, it returned a CS Firecrest piece.
I completed a survival PVP run and the caches supplied a CS Lone Star and a CS Predators Mark piece.
The reward level of CS pieces has been fine, all I wish is that the general caches and a portion of the random rewards gave some pieces from alternative sets so if you are not in the market for the 4 sets featured you have some chance to pick up something else of a set you may want.
If this is not possible then this GE is pointless as was the previous GE which was much the same, delivering only the featured sets which I do not need or want.
There appears to be no avenue open during this GE to collect alternative sets. When I collect 9000 GE credits for next GE sets I may want, this GE is finished unless there is a change on the mix of what is rewarded to give some hope of other CS pieces given as rewards.
I need a CS Nomad Back Pack and CS D3 FNC gloves to complete 2 additional sets. They know exactly what you have and need, evidenced by 1 of my agents who runs in the 182 - 203 DZ level. The moment you collect an out of spec piece of you improve a CS piece past the 203 point you are promoted to the next DZ.
So it should not be difficult to give an occasional reward of what you might want than dozens of pieces you definitely do not want.
It is ridiculous that all possible drop / reward / GE caches only give rewards from the 4 nominated sets.
There are the specialist 3000 GE credit rewards that only give you the nominated specific set.
How limiting especially given that I have cycled through numerous GE's and could get rewards outside the nominated sets in the past.
So for any agents who are not interested in these sets or like me have a collection then this GE and maybe the next few are irrelevant.
No, not irrelevant. You can still find your desired pieces during those GE. They are not removed from the loot pool.Originally Posted by yamxt6002016 Go to original post
How was the previous GE pointless when you said you still needed a D3-FNC piece? That was one of the featured sets in that GE.
It's better to have featured sets, since the GE's happen often enough and rotate through them. Last time around I picked up a few Tactician and D3 pieces. This time I've picked up a few Reclaimer pieces. Next time this GE comes around I'll probably be after some Predator.
Since all of the other avenues to classified pieces are fully random, it's nice to have some control over what you get during a GE.
I am more irritated by getting the exact same items every time I buy a cache. To me, GE is a waste of time for no other reason than the drops to date have produced nothing but more recycling and sales of gear.Originally Posted by yamxt6002016 Go to original post
Incorrect. LZ bosses. UG bosses, HVT bosses etc still drop random items.Originally Posted by yamxt6002016 Go to original post
GE caches have always worked like this.There are the specialist 3000 GE credit rewards that only give you the nominated specific set.
Not from a GE cache.... cache rewards have always been GS-specific..How limiting especially given that I have cycled through numerous GE's and could get rewards outside the nominated sets in the past
Or do what I do... play for fun while farming and keep GE credits maxed to use when the next relevant GE goes live. I don't need any of the current GE sets but I'm playing for lulz and experimenting with hybrid builds. It's a game ffs, not a lifestyle choice, If it annoys you so much then give it a break,So for any agents who are not interested in these sets or like me have a collection then this GE and maybe the next few are irrelevant.
