One (of multiple) appropriate solutions to the widespread shortage of uzis.

I also think they should drop for this pvp event to help those without enough.

Hey all, a lot of people have been wondering about the folder drop rate in regards to this event (and in general), as well as the intent behind the drop rate and the ones in the store.

The general intent that we are looking for is for folders to be special as drops but not prohibitively rare. The goal is to have most factions have enough of the things to make good progress and/or complete the goal chain with the folders collected, assuming everyone in the faction is generally active and out doing map jobs the rest of the time. We don't want to have people swimming in thousands and thousands of the things (without intentionally doing that as a goal, anyway), making them basically another concrete drop.

The goal is NOT to encourage people to have to buy them in the store. Those are in the store to help accommodate less-active players who still want to come in for the big events (so convenience, basically), and also for factions who want to go all-out on extensively farming a given raid boss at the start of the event (it happens). That is the goal with those, convenience and going beyond the necessary.

This is, given the various activity levels of individuals and factions, pretty tough to balance. And we wanted to see how the current drop rate played out before altering it. Looking at the numbers across the board, the drop rate was a little lower than it should have been this time, and we'll be granting some folders to people for the raid boss event (40 per person, to be exact). This is actually a bit more than is needed to make up the average gap in what people should have, but we wanted to go a bit generous just in case. We will NOT be granting folders every raid boss, and we do not want to set that precedent, but we also want to make up for the estimate being off this time.

We will be tweaking the drop rate going forward to be a bit more reasonable, but again, the goal is not to have everyone swimming in more folders than will ever be necessary.

We hope this clears things up some.

thats what gree said about the modern war raid boss drops.... im guessing the same applies

not familiar with that title.....is their "folder" a red uzi?


Regardless, doesn't change the fact that the current LTQ NPCs are dropping uzis rather consistently at a rate of 1 / 1000 energy.


To the high activity point - most of the players making threads about needing uzis ARE part of very active syns.

I think that will be a great idea if the pvp dropped uzis
