Drop rates on event flights...

[mwraymer]

How's everyone's drop rate on the event planes? Right now I have received 1 piece off 5 planes.

So far I have received zero pieces off of 30+ flights.

For the moment I received 1 item off 20 flights.
I m not sure that event is possible without buying greenies....

I am currently sitting on 4 items out of 24 flights...

I guess you get a lower drop rate if your planes are coming from Canada. That is the only thing that would seem to explain my zero drop rate so far. LOL

I've now had 7 drops out of 29 flights

2 drops in 44 flights to Cambridge. This is shaping up to be another dud like last event. Abandoning sooner rather then later seems like a good option. I'm not going to be in on the 2 cycle event completion if that's the idea of the way they are be structured now.

For me I'm done with this event, I've sent planes the whole day to event destinations and yes I wasted fuel, repair items and most importantly time.

Keep plugging away (but dont waste fuel) drop rates sometimes get better the deeper into the event you go. Ive not got the event yet so haven't started. Also have you tried with any of the bonuses ??

I 3-starred Cambridge with my android alliance support game and got enough drops to build 1 university. Since then, drops have been practically zilch. Luckily I have plenty of neighbors with universities, so only having 1 in my own airport isn't so bad.

That's lucky Ive done double and not got 1 uni yet, but haven't used any bonuses yet

No bonuses either - I think it was just luck. No rhyme nor reason - some people get drops, some people don't.

You know me i will just keep plugging away

 

[mwraymer]

Well, this event is a little better for me than the last one. I've received 13 items out of 50 flights.

Still looking for neighbors with universities, thank you.

The lower level the plane you send - the lower the drop rate. From a post Free2Play made:

.....
There's one general rule: bigger planes that require more passengers have better drop rates than smaller ones — this way higher level players don't get punished for acquiring bigger planes and progressing through the game. It might say 'very seldom' for both, because it is a difference between, say, 1% and 2% chance to get something and it is indeed very seldom in both cases, but if you have enough fuel and passengers the most viable strategy is always flying the largest planes available in the fleet.

So far 1/12.
