(PSN)killerbunny53 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 (edited) So everyone complains that Vauban is extremely hard to obtain... I've been playing 3-12 Hours everyday for the last 3 month, and I still have no helmet over 300 hours later... How make it event exclusive, but easier to obtain? I propose that: -DE remove Vauban Helmet and System BP's from the alerts drop table... Then... -After every DevStream, for 1 hour DE places up an alert for a Vauban Helmet BP (On Top of 24 hour Potato/Catalyst) -After every PrimeTime, for 1 hour DE places up an alert for a Vauban Chassis BP (On Top of 24 hour Potato/Catalyst) -And leave the Vauban System a normal alert as it is now since it is the only part that actually pops up more than once per month... <EDIT>For the sake of people who can not get on after the stream (at those times), I'd propose as an alternative that they remain in the drop pools, but with a lower drop rate in the alerts<EDIT> <EDIT>A friend just reminded me Vauban also appears if you pray to RNGsus<EDIT> By doing this, we would still have some randomness to it by leaving the System, but we would be able to obtain most of Vauban through being loyal viewers of the PrimeTime and DevStreams. This would reward us loyal players who have put so many hours into this game and watching the stream. As for people who don't watch the stream, they can still get it if they are on during the hour after the stream, but to them it will be a surprise whereas the loyal viewers will know to except the alert. If you don't like that then just please boost the drop rate in general no mater which part... Any boost on drop rate is better than nothing, because even if you play 30-50 hours a week it still takes months to get. Anyway thanks for reading and please share your opinions! I WOULD VERY MUCH APPRECIATE MOD AND DE STAFF RESPONSE:) Edited June 21, 2014 by (PS4)killerbunny53 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)Gage_VH Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Yeah I've been playing since the PS4 launch (november), around 200 hours later I still haven't build Vauban. (I'm missing the Chassis) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I'm missing the Chassis) Chassis is easiest part... I have 4 chassis 2 Systems, but no helmet:( Helmet is overall most complained about with reason it only drops every 2 months for 1 hour.

zavienh5 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 dude, ppl actually, not just dude, cuz its singular...anyways, just chill alright, its just a game, u prob wouldve spent more time on something productive seirously. then just waiting for a stupid alert. just have fun with other stuff u can build, and when ur playin one day and just happen to pass by a Vauban alert, just do it! Thats wut i did, that simple, just dont care... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brontolith Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Not a great idea for those who sleep, work, or have school at the times after those streams. Don't think it should be changed to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't you say the same thing about standard alerts? Also if they were 24 hours like the Catalysts and Reactors it would be a bit more forgiving.

He kind of had a point, but I edited to counter his idea. As for 24 Hours that would make Vauban a little too easy to get and would defeat the purpose of making him difficult to obtain. 24 hours is to long 1-2 hours is max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APBladeX Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 How about it drops from an actual boss? Wait, what? ABSURD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkWithALaserBeam Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 (edited) i have enough vauban parts to craft 5 of them. Wish i could give em to ya. and besides im not on your platform Edited June 21, 2014 by SharkWithALaserBeam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flaw with this is you're using your own perspective as some sort of valid statistical trend. The chassis is not the easiest to get. If you went into the alert records of the past 6 months or so, you would see that the systems is actually statistically the most common. Yes, I have researched it. All of that is beside the point however... The point I'm trying to make here is, is that if you're going to have a system like this, all three parts need to be treated equally. All I'm asking is you please not make conjectures about things like drop rates when only taking into account a singular, miniscule sample - yours.

(PSN)Gage_VH Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Hell, I'd be fine if the alert rate was just a tad bit higher. (Not absurdly high, but higher than it is now) One day, one day Booben will be mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over PS4's lifespan we've only had maybe 4 or 5 Vauban alerts in 7 months Whereas I understand your situation and don't doubt your own personal experience PS4 has had more than 5 vauban alerts in that time. I've been playing since December and I've had vauban for a while now, as have all my fairly regular clan members and most of them are sub 300 hour profiles. I think the issue is, surprise surprise, rooted in RNG and a global one at that. We are all UK based and the alerts have fell quite well for us, maybe you're unlucky in that the time zone you are in hasn't had the alerts at decent hours. I think vauban should stay an alert only frame, it interesting having different ways to get different frames, maybe DE could just tweak the chances of the alerts to be more common and varied time wise to suit the many time zones that cover the player base.

Then it seems you want it be fair for you in united states to get the helmet easily but unfair for people who live outside the states because primetime doesn't exactly follow their sleep or work schedule. Going by your suggestion, it seems like you want it to be easy for you to get the helmet while others outside the states need to wait for that 2 month alert to get their helmet (or stay up 4 in morning to get it). How is that fair? Edited June 21, 2014 by (PS4)jenax002 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)IIIDevoidIII Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 I'm opposing the original post simply for the fact I'd rather get these guaranteed potatos far FAR more often than I'd want guaranteed Vauban parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of my friends in Europe have Vauban, because he always drop at ridiculous times in the US no matter which time zone you are in... As for RNG you re on PS4 like me so we get all of the same alerts. RNG's just love Europe I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
