Please don't ban me

#1 · October 7, 2026, 1:26 pm

The title is there because of a previous PVE server that threw me a ban for criticism, which led me to Relic (which I wholeheartedly love by the way).

That previous experience makes me more than a little gunshy about this feedback but if I plan to play on Relic in years to come, after a year or so of playing it currently, I have to say this.

The drops from helis are just not happening. I'm sure they have a drop rate set and SHOULD be, but they are not. Usually by this time into wipe people have had some or many, and the Auction House has these items listed. It is noticeably empty.

It could be two server modifications not playing well with one another or something else, but it is noticed on both EU and main.

I know what to expect from helis as an avid farmer of them, and this has been broken since the middle of last wipe. I do not know what changed or got added/modified, but something changed. I rely on getting my gear from helis, and then providing it to others and lower levels struggling. this wipe I have 6 team mates, and we have no gear at all despite trying both brads and helis.

I would ask that if possible the admin tries farming 20 or so helis on test server or something to verify this is indeed an issue.

i got oblivion from npc and the people i talked to got stuff also from NPC but not brad or chad. I agree with every statement: Loving Relic, not wanting to get banned and for admis please checking the situation. If the drops weren´t changed it must be something else.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share my respectful, constructive opinion regarding the current state of high-tier loot drops on the server—specifically relating to the Patrol Helicopter and Bradley APC. Over the last several weeks, it feels like the drop rates for legendary and high-tier items have either been significantly altered or are functionally non-existent.

On a dedicated PVE server like Relic, the core gameplay loop naturally shifts away from player-versus-player conflict and heavily toward progression, raiding NPC monuments, and the thrill of hunting down top-tier endgame gear. When you rally a group or spend the resources to take down a major server event like Heli or Bradley, there should be a tangible sense of risk and reward.

Lately, however, the drops have felt incredibly underwhelming. Consistently getting mid-tier components or basic tools from these major encounters takes a lot of the fun out of the endgame. Instead of feeling like a triumph, taking down Bradley or Heli is starting to feel like a chore that doesn't justify the ammo and explosives invested.

If the drop rates were indeed lowered recently, I’d love for the administration team to consider reverting them or finding a happier medium. A slight increase in legendary drop rates would go a long way in revitalizing the server's endgame loop, keeping players engaged, and bringing back that excitement when the crates finally cool down.

Curious to hear if other players have noticed the same trend recently, and what the team's thoughts are on the current balance.

Thanks for reading!

Hey folks, thank you all for the feedback, this is what we're looking for. Most of you were online during a conversion we had about increasing the drops on the hard helicopters. I understand some folks that farmed these events are frustrated about the reduced drop rate.

We have made adjustments four times in the past two days to improve the drop rates. We will keep adjusting to make it fair for everyone trying to pull a legendary gun/armor from the event.

Please don't be afraid to offer feedback. Promise <3
