to devs: asteroid miners luck not giving pink in the hive?

**blurryeyes** · 07-20-2012, 09:09 PM

ok so I used the asteroid miners luck and went to the hive, and I always get a reroll if it was green, so i got purples.

But i also got some purples but it did not get re-rolled, why it doesnt reroll to pink? or maybe only specific minions drop pink?

AFAIK, only the hive queen drops pinks.

Correctomondo :-)

Unfortunately purples don't reroll to pink on the Director bot though in sloucho if anyone is interested lolz.

The queen doesn't have a white name tag right? Cause I'm not seeing the name.

**KillaSkillz** · 07-21-2012, 06:40 AM

what's up with the queen not dropping? Does every bug in that room randomly select who it drops to, i'm about 30+% to not get an item drop out of that room, or the queen? I thought bosses dropped to the whole group?

I'm barely getting any gear from the queen

It's Different.now , you won't be guaranteed a drop , and links are pretty rare , which I love !

**Flowman** · 07-21-2012, 09:20 AM

6 luck elixirs and no pink, killing over 5 queens per elixir...I'd say around 40 or so?...probably got a drop 50% of the time.
I like the rarity of the drops...but why do I keep seeing the same people getting pinks?

I've witnessed people join games and get pinks back to back...

Also been getting kicked by the same kid from games because I'm using a luck elixir -.- Uneducated people are uneducated.

For some reason when I buy luck enhancers I don't get a drop AT ALL. Not even a green.

**blurryeyes** · 07-21-2012, 10:42 AM

Hey guys I did around 15 more runs with the asteroid luck, and yea and didn't get another pink and sometines he doesn't drop anything to me

**Iron Hand** · 07-21-2012, 10:52 AM

I just run with the big luck vanity and got a whole bunch of purples. I solo'ed one run just to see what would happen. On that run i received 2 greens and 9 purples. I will run some solo's later without any luck enhancers to see what happens. I have been playing this game for a year and have never received a pink drop. I do know the more runs you make in a row the better the odds of seeing a rare drop but there is no magic thing to do to increase your odds other than elixir or luck vanity.

The only elixir i am using while running hive is 2x damage, 2x armor and 25% speed. (30 minute version). This way i can finish the run faster so i can do more runs in a given amount of time. The more runs you do the better the odds are you may get a rare drop.

**Kanozaki** · 07-21-2012, 10:56 AM

I guess it's luck , some people got pinks like crazy , and it seems as though not every one gets a drop Even with enhancer

**Prestige** · 07-21-2012, 12:13 PM

I just found my second pink gun ever since SL came out. My first being a gutter... But I finally found a fuse tempest coil after 5 runs with absolutely 0 drops from the queen.

**Flowman** · 07-21-2012, 12:43 PM

I like the no drops for the reason of getting a drop 100% of the time greatly increases the odds of getting that purple to reroll into a pink.

HOWEVER...it's pretty discouraging. Here's an idea to combat that - Only make 1 of the purple drops reroll into a pink? Sure this goes against the 100% reroll idea, and not getting a drop means you don't get a reroll anyways...but some people like the purple drops. Some of the purples sell for a decent price, but they also clutter our inventories.

I applaud STS for making pinks harder to obtain (even though I still believe luck elixirs need to go...and I use them so that's saying something.)

**KillaSkillz** · 07-21-2012, 01:15 PM

Naw, this is just stupid. Run the map, defeat the boss and every bug in the boss room, and it doesn't drop a darn thing!
Feels like a waste of time, think i will only join almost finished games since there's no reward half the time, that way i maximize my time.

Boot me if it makes you happy!
