New bronze crates

greenstaged

Is it just me or is there something wrong with them. I opened 45 crates over three accounts which I managed to save from showdown. All I got was 8 firebirds plus 1bp and 4 bp Renault turbo. Tried to reset game and even changed devices but still the game continued to give me fb prints. No Bronze cars no goodies no other bps.

Is there any difference in what you get whether you open free crates you get from showdown or if you buy them ?

Aliens bro

Supposed to be random but we all know it isn't. Older the account less chance you get.

I've always to the day had better drops on very low level account, then my racing ones.

Yeah its a total joke bud. Ive opened 83 crates total, 42 on 1 account 41 on another.
0 accessories.. all Firebird blueprints, managed to finish only 1 of the Renaults. 0 of any other car's blueprints...
ROFL!!

I didn't get any FB prints.. falcon and Renault. I think there were no accessories given because I didn't see any in the crates beside a cpl wheels. No paints. Atleast not when I opened the 23 I had

Last time I had a few people that spent well over $100 each and didn't get any of the bronze vehicles they had been aiming for. Normally when there is an adjustment to the crates it happens next day and you can see a change in them in less then 24 hours. I would expect an update from carbonated to address these issues soon.

Dunno. I think that the drop rate and what bp drops is sort of rigged. I opened crates I got for free from showdown and turf and got only firebirds and 4 Renault bp.

Watch this pigpen vid. It's what I've been thinking all along.

I've thought that about the tokens for a while. Same with the performance crates

No, there is no difference.

@Roush Sport I was under that impression but experience proved otherwise. Did you watch pigpens video in my other post ? I was getting only fb bp same as pigpen. I didn't buy any though.

They were / are looking into the drop rate of the bronze crates.....haven't heard if they've been tweaked or not yet.

@Roush Sport I can confirm that there is something wrong with them. I the meantime I opened 20 more crates. 10 from each of two accounts. Guess what ??? ...all firebirds !!!
Decided to buy one batch of crates via gems ...and guess what again ??.. I got a falcon. 2 wire rims 2 bp of Renault and a hurican bp and a further 2 Pontiac bp. After I bought I continued to open my saved crates...I managed to get another falcon. It's like you need to buy before the drop rate is fixed.

@Roush Sport any idea if the issue was fixed or if there are confirmations that there are indeed issues?

In the bronze crate when they brought the Pontiac Trans Am as a C class car it should have been either an A class or an S class . plus they could have given the option to choose 3 different kinds of hoods from the original hood to the snorkle hood or a carbon fiber hood

@Roush Sport issue still the same unless its meant to be that way. In order to get random drops you'll need to buy gems. If you use the ones you managed to save from showdown or turf you'll get only firebird bp and the one off Renault turbo.

aubassplayer

@greenstaged I haven't bought gems and out of 28 bronze crates I've only gotten 3 FB prints. Alot of falcon v8's for me.. and rims

@aubassplayer . could be that issue was fixed ?#.The issue is when you've got saved crates deriving from Either showdown or turf. At least it's what's happening to me. When you open these you only get fb bp with a one off Renault turbo. @Roush Sport asked dev team to check drop rate since there shouldn't be a difference between bought crates and saved crates. This has not been fixed as of yet. What I noticed is that if one buys bronze crates the drop rate is fine (you confirmed) however if you open these saved crates you will get only firebird bps.

I opened some 44 saved bronze crates and got only firebird. 8 x firebirds and 4 bp for the Renault.

I tried to do the same with another account but didn't open every bronze crate I have. I opened the first 10 and again got ONLY firebirds. Decided to buy a batch of 10 crates and managed to get a falcon a couple of rims a stupid darth and a huracan bp and a fb bp. After which I continued to open some of the saved crates. The saved crates were now giving me a good drop rate for everything. I managed to get another falcon a Renault and some other goodies.

Im taking it that this is being done on purpose so that one ends up buying crates as well. I attached a YouTube vid by pigpen in this post. If you watch it you'll understand better.
