Overview

No Items Found.

Post New Update

I am not the kind of guy who really pays much attention to the math behind all stat features, however, since I have been playing Marvel Heroes a lot more than when I bought my Thor founders pack last year, the way unique drop rates work now have really started to bother me.

Actually, it is not so much the frequency in which they drop that actually bothers me but the kind of unique that actually drops. I don`t know if its a bug or if it has been programmed this way but if you can, please clarify or have someone check it out.

So please bare with me as I try to explain what I mean.

When I play with a new hero (lets say Hulk, which I got recently from a hero bogo promotion) and go to midtown to try and level him up, a find myself farming for experience and all sorts of new items. During the first 15-20 levels I am rewarded with say about average 3-4 unique drop opportunities were 80-90% of the time is for the current hero (in this case, Hulk). Now let me remind you that being a new hero, it has very few/low rif customization options (in my case, only those offered by hero synergies and no potions of any sort were drank during that time).

Now, when I play with a lvl 60 hero highly geared with a costume core, synergies and other items with some form of rif passive effects (still, no potions were drank during that time), less uniques seem to drop and even less for the current hero. Doing the same play time (or more, combined with shared quests in midtown, terminals, holosim and xdefense), I "feel" like I receive a minus 20-30% chance for a unique drop and when the unique actually drops/appears, it is usually a "any hero" unique type.

Maybe I don`t mind much the fact that I "feel" like there is some form of diminishing return for unique drop rates as you lvl your hero to 60 but it really bothers that most uniques I get now from any game mode are those of the "any hero" kind.

I don`t know how the programming works but I believe unique drops should have a higher chance of being hero related (80% of the time), and not "any hero" type.

Thank you for your time.
