Anti Hacker Wrote:There is much controversy over weather hacked items stop drop rates. the message i have recieved about that is only on XBOX version (and im not even sure thats true).Hacked items stop rare drop rates on Xbox, PSO+ and PSO-BB only. If a PSO+ player hosts an online game, then all users are affected by the hacked item/rare drop killswitch.
Quote:Im pretty darn sure Dupes will NOT affect drop rates! As there is no file difference between legit and dupe weapons how could the game be able to change the difference in drop rate? (hacks can have differences in file tho, hence the controversy.)Great logic. Dupes certainly do not change the drop rates in any way. Only certain hacked items do so on the aformentioned formats.
Quote:I think youre either having really bad luck with drop rates, or youre playing on normal mode where you can only get body parts, addslots and photon drops as rare itemsThere are some rares to be found on normal, but their rates are so stupidly hard that addslots/photon drops are the only ones you are likely to find.
I agree with Anti Hacker here, that you are just having bad luck, or playing in areas with ebil drop rates.
