Zeta drops from challenges

Shadroth

Just wanted to know if there have been any changes made to drop rates of Zetas in ship challenges? Ever since they were introduced to daily log in our guild has noticed that they are harder to obtain. Of course this could be just a bad case of RNG but for example a guildy of ours went 4 weeks without 1 dropping... I myself have received 3 in in 4 weeks.

It's all RNG.

RNG.. I had 0 from challenges today, but 3 from the previous one.

Thanks Kyno

Got two yesterday, none today. It's a dice roll.

I'm on a terrible streak. Think I've received three materials total in three weeks from the challenges. My luck has been so bad that I'm falling behind others in my guild for total zetas.

This....again. It's RNG. The game doesn't hate you.

I got 2 today, hadn't had any for a while. Just RNG, no coded change

No no, the game hates everybody. Just it picks on some people more than others at times.

I’m sorry, my post was a genuine question, not a complaint that the game hates me.

In the long time (months) I saw that the drop rate is approximately 25%: on average I receive 1/4 Z math.
Of course there are several 0/4 days, some very rare 3/4 days, and I NEVER HAD 4/4 (so the odds to have 0/4 or 4/4 are far from being the same....).
Before you ask, I can't show the data

I had a run of 0 for two weeks straight, then I nailed 4/4 one day, and then zero for the next three days lol

I got one last night, the previous I had none and the one before that was 2.

I'll not see one drop ever again until I hit 20 now (at 16 now, then it's my first zeta time).

It's generally best to consider zetas from challenges to be a bonus, rather than a primary source.

You make a point. If I don’t expect them then it’s nice when the drop. I always have better luck when I don’t have many sitting in my inventory...


I’ve had 4//4 twice! The first time I unlocked the challenge and a week later
