Not a single legendary item...

So today I hit level 30 on my SleepingBunny account. I originally made this account because I was getting sick of not getting legendary weapons on my Starwa7s account. I was told I only needed to buy around 33 item boxes to get a legendary weapon. I easily passed that before I gave up trying and was advised to make a new account. As it was happening I made it clear on the forums and all I got told was that's bad luck.

So to begin with, with my SleepingBunny account, it was great. I made a level 4 build that got me through the first 15 levels. Then at level 15 I managed to get a couple legendary items (with the help of reds, I have to admit). This was fun, but I wanted to compete with the level 30's!!
Today I hit level 30. I had 800,000 sm ready to spend all on item boxes. As I wanted to make it an experiment to see how many legendarys I got, I purchased two 200,000+ sm boosts to get me up to 120,000 sm. This bought me 96 item boxes all at level 28-30. With what I had managed to get I played a little longer to get those last 4 item boxes.

Now to begin with I was REALLY tempted to take print screens of every item I got from the item boxes as proof. However as I reached 10 I realized it would take too long and gave up. I wish I hadn't now to further prove my point here but there's not a 1% chance of getting legendary items in item boxes at level 30!!!

So when the item boxes first came out I originally thought it meant you needed to purchase 100 item boxes to get 1 legendary weapon. After talking to other players and admins though I was told it was only 33. On my Starwa7s account I reached a high number of item boxes but I didn't count so I wasn't sure if I had reached 100. I sure as hell had passed 33 item boxes though without a legendary item. So, like I mentioned before, I purchased 100 item boxes with SleepingBunny at level 30, so I could find out if I was right in thinking you needed 100 item boxes to get 1 legendary item.

In the end I got none. NONE! So that's two accounts now, where I've worked hard to try get a level 30 legendary item from an item box and failed.

It's frustrating. I'm sorry for ranting so much, but last time I ranted half as much as this and wasn't taken seriously. It was always just "it's hard luck, keep trying." I don't believe that this is hard luck. I believe this is a problem with the game. All I want to be able to do is compete at level 30 :'( Right now it just doesn't seem possible.

i can say that I HAVE gotten legendary items from the lvl 30 item box. but all 4 times it was a copy of something I already had. 2 claws and 2 side machine gun. all the other legendary I got so far have been from paying real money. I spend about 400k-600k a day on the SM item boxes. about every 3-5 days I get a legendary item. I do have a Premium account so SM comes fast.

Now I can say I did the same thing as you did but I did it with real money. I took 100$ US. how many legendary items did I get? the answer..... 5 independent items. 11 legendary items total. from what I can tell from other players I see in battles, there are a good 10+ items I still don't have. When I asked the devs about this I was told to keep trying and they would look into it. I've never heard of a game that you pay over 100$ for and cant receive all the content. (btw ive spent more than 100$ since I started playing (usually while drunk lol )) and guess what? when it comes to my actual build I use 4 legendary items.....non of them weapons..

I really feel they need to fix the legendary drops. but lets say they do.... how about people like me and starwa7s and others... who already spent real money on a system that's obviously broken. "lorinser its in beta" ya I know that. that doesn't mean it can be used to excuse ignoring people. these people who have been around so long and been loyal and continue to be a paying customer should receive a higher level of customer service. I've been playing for somewhere around 6 months I think (feels so much longer...) and there have been a ton of cool changes. please prove its not just about the money and there are people who really care about keeping veterans and rewarding them for their loyalty.

how do you get the veterans to keep playing after they have paid a ton of real money and get the items they want? new content. ie. weapons, items, and a way to look up content so you can find out what weapons/parts your going for that are available. +premium accounts. and a way to not get the same legendary over and over. example. if I have lvl 30 legendary legs and I level them up then getting another pair is ok its a way to start over if your not happy. but having 3-4 lvl 30 legs all lvl 1 is a waste. it should do a check and give you a new item you don't have IF its giving you a legendary weapon.

anyways I still like the overall game and they people who play. I know the devs have a lot going on and are working diligently on the game to get it ready. putting out fires everyday. I just wanted to add to this rant and make my voice heard. thanx for reading.
TL;DR FIX LEGENDARY DROPS FROM BOXES, <3 you guys!

I'd still like to see my idea implemented in addition with the boxes. In my way though the boxes could stay the same.

You have to wounder were they are getting their percentages from because they are obviously not accurate at all.

They're not all that bad. At level 15 I had no problem with item boxes. Even at level 30 I managed to get 21 epic items (possibly more as I may have fused some) so the percentages for epic items seem to be working fine. It's only when it comes to legendary weapons at level 30 that the percentages don't seem to work.

This is quite amazing xD I've always been cautious about spending money on Supermechs as I'm aware their changes can change the whole balance of the game. However it is still very tempting to use real money to get along a little faster, I can't say I don't pay every now and then :P. I have to agree though, $100 is an excessive amount to have to be spending to receive so little.

I once got charge and a side weapon legendary within 50 boxes of eachother but accidentally fused one and got pissed off and ruined my acc basically in a rage.

I wish that all the items were always categorized regardless of how many items you have.

The common misconception people have with percentages in things like this is it is not cummalative. Meaning if you buy 100 boxes that does not mean you get at least one per 100 boxes. It is a 1% chance per roll therefore every time you buy a box you have 1/100 chances to get a legendary item.
