MaduSciuntistu Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Maybe I am greedy, spoiled, whatever. But I am really getting tired of there only being 2k alerts. I am starting to think there is something wrong with the RNG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatiqForLife Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 They give you more than 2k cr. When you do them and you have to fight high lvl mobs you'll get more. For instance I joined a 2k credit reward mission and got 5.6k out of it since I was fighting lvl 28-30 mobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Namacyst Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Ya.. there was a time when doing Alerts for credits was actually viable and fun but then DE changed them for whatever reason and even says that their RNG setting is working well in their opinion. Which is not! Now you can just dismiss 75% of all alerts again because doing 2k credits alerts is not worth it, scavanger and amp's are still the majority of '?' Rewards and everyone has them already so you can scrap another 15% ..why only 15%? because sometimes those '?' have good credit rewards. So 10% is "the good stuff" happening maybe once a day and within those 10% is the majority of the loot (13 helmets, 4 skins, reactor & catalyst, 3 Vauban BP parts, Glaive) compared to a handfull amp's and scavangers. Getting Vauban will be so much fun ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheatley Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 its all more than 4k man not just 2k credits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatr Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 probably they had changed the system since there were two catalyst in a row a few days ago (bad for business) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plznohurtme Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 (edited) 2k credit alerts end up giving more credits than even finishing a Pluto mission, so while they might not be as cool as other alerts they're far from worthless. Also there have always been dry spots in the alert system, this is nothing new and there haven't been changes to it.

Argoms Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 (edited) RNG is RNG. Flipping a truly random coin 5 times is just as likely to land tails 5 times as it is to land heads-tails-heads-tails-heads. I always have the same thing to say on alerts, so here's all the other threads that share similar views. tl;dr: alerts system is flawed (as a method of content distribution) and needs changing.

MaduSciuntistu Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 I know hat it gives you more than 2k in the end but that isnt the point, the same friggin alert keeps coming up, and its getting old. I still do all of them reguardless, but a little more variety would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleesus Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I think you people mentioning the fact that it ends up giving more than 2k in the end, are missing the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaduSciuntistu Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 Exactly, good to know someone gets it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HailCreation Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I don't have much an opinion towards the whole argument of 2k credit rewards showing up too often. I just want to point out the reason the mission gives more than 2K credits is because you get 2k on top of the regular mission reward you would have gotten, making it a moot point. You'd get that 2~3k difference if the mission wasn't awarding 2k extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
