FIXED BTCs stopped dropping one week before VU

[Chryzantemka]

So I hunt scout bots a lot and I used to get BTCs which is important part of MU I get back in loot. But they stopped dropping one week before VU. I didn't get any in 2 weeks and they used to drop on weekly basis with my volume of hunting. And exactly the time BTCs stopped to drop, I started to loot Electronic Stabilizing Component which was no part of scout bots loot before. It looks like BTCs were replaced with Electronic Stab Components in loot table :/ And it's not only me since BTCs sales are non-existent for at least a week according to MU charts - nobody is dropping them now apparently.

I know loot tables are controller server side so my guess it's something related to VU, specifically 'Several low level mob drops should now prioritize basic/low level crafting components.' even if that happened week before VU.

I would like to hear from Cyrene team - is that a bug or MA decided to kill supply of low level UL guns? Both are probable.

Hey Chryzantemka,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, it's always best to post this on the forums so we're in the loop as well with player issues, on to your post:

As for the loot adjustments, specifically BTCs, were not adjusted for the VU at all. The biggest adjustment was with Dire Weed Flaxen, and nothing was reduced, however several more sought after drops were "weighted" in an effort to prioritize them.

I'm also not sure what Electronic Stab Components are used with, but it's not a Cyrene item and should not effect the drop rates of BTCs.

I'm going to engage with MA about this, and see what the issue is as again, nothing was changed on our side in regards to BTCs.

When I have an update I'll reply here.

Hey guys,

I did receive an update about this and the drop rate should hopefully be back to normal.

I'll be checking the internally as well if we find any discrepancies.

Cheers,
Kris

UPDATE: Confirmed improved from the last 6 weeks, but we will continue to watch.

From my hunting since update it seems they are dropping 1 ever 1.5k kills or so on bots 100/200
I dont hunt scrap or Atlas so no information there. I have yet to loot from XTs but all I do is the daily badge mission.
