Increased "Drop Rate" On Champion/Battlemaster Bags!

[Cerander]

While many of you probably figured this out already, if you open your Champion and Battlemaster bags in a group, your chances of getting the actual pieces is increased. I have no hard evidence of this, but me and many others on the server swear by this method.

Please also leave your results with it.

What? Really?

I have opened around 40 bags and have seen no evidence of this, never thought of it though =)

[Cerander]

It could be extremely false. But it obviously doesn't hurt for you to do it this way. The size of the party does matter though. Larger is better. I hop into a full group and seem to get something ~30% of the time. When opening solo it seems much lower (<10%). I have tested this personally with at least 50 bags. Others in my guild do it as well and agree their rate is higher when grouped. Since the sample is very small could be a coincidence.

I am new here, 1st post, and will be getting my guild to try this out. If this works, I will love you forever.

my Guildies have been swearing by this for weeks now, and I keep telling them that while it doesn't hurt to do it, there is no way to prove or disprove this without a post from a developer. I'm currently on 32 empty bags in a row while in an ops group and yet a friend of mine has gotten 12 tokens out of 13 bags.

I do notice people (this one dude on his 2nd bag got a mainhand champ wep..) when in the BG op groups opening bags almost always get ****ing pieces from it.

interesting...... i assume it works for warzone OPs group too?

As crazy as this sounds, and again, I cannot confirm this with hard evidence, but treasure hunting boxes also give MUCH better loot while in a full group. I have received orange/rare more often in bountiful yields while also artifact and orange/rare in rich yields while in a flashpoint, so much so that the people i have been with have questioned the integrity of my treasure hunting >.>

however this may only be a coincidence. try it and find out.

ive tried this in warzone /ilum kill squad groups , got a saber on my first bag for my sorc and figured it worked, only other item ive gotten so far was a chest piece (opened 10) all in all it doesnt hurt to do it but i doubt it matters

I don't know if this works, seems unlikely and is probably a flaw in the system if it does. BUT thats just for the benefit of the knowing.

I've opened;

12 Champion Gear Bag (Unique; the WZ/Merc commendation one) - Gave me Lightsaber token; 2x Relic token; Chest token; Hands token

I've opened 25+ of the weekly and daily reward gearbags and only gotten a Legs token. - Almost all of these were opened while not in group.


IF this works you'd might wanna get as many bags as you can and open them, before it gets fixed.
Also: This whole thing is speculation, don't take any of it for hard evidence.

Can't confirm this theroie.

I'm currently at valor rank 66 and opend almost all bags while in group. I also noticed an increased drop rate in those PvP bags, but i think this has to do something with an a) undocumented patchnote oder b) simply just luck.

Opened 7 bags last night in a group... All with nothing.
