Hey guys,
I'm kinda frustrated, not with the actual drop rates of the zeta mats, nor with with the amount that CAN be earned through different challenges or events.
No, my frustration comes from the fact that it seems one player can have all the luck and another can have none at all...
I started playing december 2017, and a buddy of mine 1 month later. Obviously, I could start the zeta mats crunch a little before him. By the time he could win the zeta challenge, I was ahead about 10 zeta mats.
Now, I'm the owner of 2 zeta's and I currently have another 13 mats for a 3rd one.
My buddy on the other hand already has 3 zeta's and another 5 mats for the 4th...
So... He's got significantly more mats than I have (about 22) in the same span of time! I sometimes go weeks without zeta mats, while he averages 2 per zeta challenge...
If it would've been a difference of 5, I'd be ok with it, RNG you know. But over 20? In a few months time? No, that's just plain ridiculous...
It had to come out, sorry for the rant

Further: do you and does he buy Z math from the fleet store with the same frequency?
They drop well and then not so well. Ebb and flow.
Your buddy sounds like he’s doing better in fleet arena and is buying his zeta’s. While you are waiting for them to drop.
I got 4, and since I 7* Talzin last week I've gotten like an entire zeta this past week.
second, yeah... welcome to the game. This same "RNG determining your fate" resides in the mod structure. Two players could sim 100 mods, 1 player ends up with speed secondaries in the 20's, the other with speed secondaries in the tens. One person's arena fate has become significantly easier. The other forever jealous.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I think you just described luck....
I also got 5 today and with endor escalation tomorrow that's 7 in 2 days. WAI
Nope, and he's not even close to my position in the ranks. I'm top 20, he's hovering around 200
Nope, look I know this guy, he's one of my best friends. I'm ahead of him on almost every aspect of the game, but those freaking zeta's... There aren't any ways for him to gain zeta's that I can't access. He doesn't buy them from the fleet store as well. He's just plain (a lot!) more lucky, so it seems.
And I hate him for it! Lol
I'd say RNG in the Arena and fleet arenas are much worse, but not much we can do about it. I wouldn't mind getting 3 zetas a month a couple more times though, that'd be fun. (And now that I've alerted the AI, that I am most certain reads the forums, I won't get another full zeta until 2019....)
Lol, sounds like a co-worker of mine. He started playing a few months after me and I told him about how my game hardly ever dropped stuff I needed. And everyday he would show me either screenshots or him actually playing the game in front of me of his awesomely wonderful rng gameplay. Like the bronzium packs, I hardly ever got shards just those brown pvc pipe looking things, he would get back to back 10, 20, single etc. shards. Hopefully you'll be able to get to start spending those fleet tokens on zetas soon. It makes a huge difference. I wouldn't stress too much on how much better or worse rng seems between you and him, you can't control that. But you can control fleet store, wicket and talzin, logging in daily, getting other characters ready for other events like mythics that can reward zetas. Best of luck to you
