Credit Heist rewards reduced

So I seen the credit heist and went in and simmed them as now accustomed which is a great feature btw, but imagine, to my horror that it only dropped 3 million credits! So what’s happened they’ve reduce the rewards from 2.5m-10m to 1.5m-10m? Seriously? It’s hard enough to get enough credits especially when they drop new characters and with the mods costing in the region of 2-4m each in the mod store.

    1.5m has always been a possible drop. I'm lucky enough to get it often...

    It didn't drop, it's just that 2.5 million happens 80% of the time.
  • Options
    1.5 m is the lowest drop and you were just really unlucky to get it twice. I suggest simming one at a time.
  • Options
    I suggest not simming at all. While I'm sure I'm an exception, I've gotten exactly 2.5mil every time since we've been able to Sim it. I know it's coincidence, but it sure doesn't feel like coincidence...

    Number of sims don’t make a difference. Save the time and sim them all. Bad RNG, it happens.

    I don’t believe I’ve had anything but 5mill total on them ever.

    However it takes just like zeta mats on ships going from 1 to 2, 1 or 0 I went 1 for 6 sims last week.

    OK, I'm missing something, the lowest I could get was always 2.5m because I always 5m-7.5m every Credit Heist, but my guild said the same it's on 1.5m.

    What you are missing is bad luck. I've gotten 1.5m several times.

    Credit heist has always bee 1.5m minimum drop. You just got really unlucky this time.

    I simmed both at once today and got 15M! Result! I've had 15M drop before. (Pre-sim months ago).
  • Options
    The 1.5s do seem much more common than they used to be.

    Does anybody got 10M? It seems impossible!

    I've been fortunate to land it twice, but I've been doing the top tier of credit heists since the new format came out.

    Even got 10 + 5 once. darn near pooped myself.

    I'm also notorious for getting more 5 shard drops from a 1299 pack than any of my guild mates so I guess it all evens out.

    Yep, it does seem to even out. I get plenty of 3m and 4m, and only once got 7.5m. Meanwhile I get a pretty good drop rate on zetas. Few weeks back I pulled four in one day.

    I have been unlucky to get 1.5 almost every CH since you could sim them. I've even gotten two during the same CH. I got another one today. I do think they have changed the odds. Used to be that 1.5 and 10 were on the ends of a bell curve and neither was supposed to drop very often, but judged by my RNG, I've had 1.5 over 50% of the time.

    Today I got 5 and 2.5. RNG is random - and sometimes streaky. It happens.

    You do realize your bell curve assumption is just a wee bit wrong. . . .. .

    Weighted drops are 2.5 then 1.5 then 5/7/10. With ten being the least likely outcome and 2.5/1.5 being the highest likely outcome,

    Echoing the previous comments. Do not sim. Each time I've simmed the fight I've gotten 1.5. Running through normally this time and ended up with 2.5 each time.

    Well your personal sample size of two has totally convinced me.

    Simmed for 5 mil total, . . . Seriously y'all, it's random and makes absolutely no difference in any way whether you sim, auto, manual play, five char, three chars, none of that has any bearing on the payout , AT ALL. .
