Well, at least we got a reply of sorts even though it's the vaguest thing I've read on here in a while.
Drop Rate Speculation
- Thread starter weeman2412
- Start date
Wow, so this Trading Floor update that is going to support updates in the future uses a crippling drop-rate so that the market will starve/stagnate and no sane person will pay the ridiculous prices being asked by players fortunate enough to get a drop.
This in a game with a fraction of the playerbase of games like CS:GO, which probably could get away with lower drop rates due to player volumes.
Edit : CS:GO over 825,000 player peak today, KF2 5k.
I can't see this generating enough money for updates, and we get microtransactions to boot.
Damn, if that isn't the worst of both worlds!
I bought skinpacks for KF1, I won't be buying anything for KF2 at these prices, no sir.

This seems really hard to understand, as another TWI Employee stated in another thread that this was a "core system", which in my mind means it was something pretty prominent in design... yet it just plain sucks out loud? Would you mind checking with the team responsible and asking if the customers were supposed to get one drop and then nothing else? Because that's what's happening...
same but with 30+ hours, not greedy either, neither i like a high amount of skins nor im a collector, but i wouldnt mind a drop every now and then, at least for diversity, the drop rate seems so low i might as well forget about the feature.
lol for sure. I guess they are being vague as to stop ppl from farming for them.
Another 2 games tonight on HoE, 7 wave. Wins and no drop. ^^
Played about 27 hrs since the first update...
It being as slow as it is seems like it's making the Zedconomy irrelevant/expensive unless you want us all to make bank off people on the steam market with more money than sense with things we don't want.
I had a drop that I didn't want and now I have enough to buy some pretentious indie game, you guys are the best.
Pretty sure they're just weekly drops. I've gotten one item on patch release day and have played a good 75-100 games since, nothing whatsoever.
Kinda nothing to get excited about then if they're just weekly drops, more like a weekly disappointment unless you get really lucky I guess.

Artificially limiting drops by the week would be preeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetty stupid...
Even in CSGO a game with 100x the playerbase, drops are limited to 3 a day if I'm not mistaken...
told ya, just enough
Though I do have a "rare" item. Blue surgical mask specifically. I do wonder how much I can get for that but it won't let me sell it yet.

Judging by the prices of other blue items maybe enough to hire a moderator of your choosing to be your servant for the day.
played at least 20 matches, got one drop on the first match and none since. I actually want a crate or 2 or some encrypted usbs to try my luck at getting skins but I literally can't find them and they're crazy expensive on the market. Fix plz; crate/encrypted usb drop rate needs to be very high in order to make money off of it/ for players to actually get skins.
Neither my wife nor I have even got 1 drop yet. We havn't tried single player yet, we just play on our dedicated server. Most other people seemed to get one on their first game and there are people getting them online so all I can think of is there is a problem with our server not allowing them.
Do you not get them if your server has custom maps? I don't want to delete all my maps just for drops, we have quite a few now

Last night after the update I got am Eyepatch and gues what ... it didn't register in my steam invertory ... again ... I get this eyepatch 2 times and it never goes into my invertory. It's no my server so it's not the server doing this ... meanwhile my roommate got 2 USB keys and people get Katana skins that sell for 300 euro TWI this RNG is pure bull**** and a spit in the face of your fans.
