    Massive.....Lets talk about RNG amd Named gear

    Take notes becuase I guarantee in 2-3 weeks during the State of the Game your going do what Im telling you to do becuase right now what youre doing is bad. Also I dont know who's in the task force youre taking advice from but if I was on it all I would need is 2 seconds to tell you your drop rates are terrible.

    Lets talk about Named gear....Im world Tier 5, Ive done 7 open world runs. Multiple that by 15 and youll see how bosses Ive killed to try to get these Skulls gloves. Its alot. Ive probably ran Lexington 10 times. Ive finished Survival 3 times, Ive opened a ton of field caches. No Larae Barrets vest, no skulls gloves, no Fama's, no Thompsons, no nothing. Ive gotten a ton of UMPs and and Rhino's...thanks I guess. I keep selling them and the game isnt getting the message.

    I have no problem with RNG...here's the problem. If youre going to make these items this exclusive then they need to have fixed stats on them. For example after the 20th time I do Lexington and finally get the Named vest....what if that chest rolls Electronics and no armor. If that happend to me after all that grinding it would take every ounce of self control to not throw my monitor through my window. Everyone wanted that stupid RPG weapon in Destiny...but when they finally got it they knew exactly what they are getting. This is RNG stacked with more RNG...and its stupid.

    Do you really think Im going to run Lexington another 20 times to try again?

    How many times do you want to run the exact same mission, kill the exact smae bosses who never move before extreme boredom and burn out start?

    I dont do Underground anymore, havent stepped 1 foot in the dark zone, I will not be doing HVTs, Im trying to see if these items actually exist and if they are worth it to begin with.

    I hope you took notes, the process needs to change or youre going to have alot of angry customers.

    They certainly do exist, I must have got extremely lucky but I got both the gloves and chest on day 1 of 1.5

    The gloves dropped from Five-o and the vest was a reward from the hardest daily HVT, trio crew I believe.

    Sorry you've not has the best luck so far.

    I agree because I have been after Barrett's vest since patch.
    I did get the Skulls MC gloves after killling Chains in the LZ the second day of 1.5.

    Seems like a tough grind

    What they need to do cause it was something I was thinking about yesterday is to make Named items more unique then they need to introduce the ability to recalibrate all stats not just 1. Therefore you can customize it to what you want.

    The drop rates on named gear a good imo makes them feel rare but im afraid of the samething if I get the chestplate and that thing has exotic damage resilience health in kill and electronic base and I wasted like 100+ hours trying to get it, I would just put the game away and never play again because im not about to grind another 60+ hrs just to end up getting something bad again.

    And also for all future updates Named items should be upgradable so you don't have to regrind for the same skulls glove again when they up the light level (i mean gear score)

    But with all that we can all agree Named gear is awesome and we really need like hundreds of different Named items. Like the way they feel unique and rare to obtain

    These should never have had the same stat RNG normal loot does, they should have been implemented with static majors and minors. Just leave some RNG in the range of each particular stat.

    I've been grinding for the chest piece for about 13 hours or so. Nothing yet.....

    Feel bad for whoever gets a Electronic rolled chest piece........


    Sadly, it will probably be me.

    Stop thinking you're entitled. Thats what you're doing wrong. Named guns arent going to drop for everyone so get over it. I played this game for 6 months and never saw a Caduceus....never knew anyone that had one. Those rare items arent rare when over a million people have them.

    You missed the point.

    Caduceus has fixed talents. You have a choice whether its worth it or not from the beginning. Destiny did the same thing in the beginning with gold ingrams turning into less powerful weapons after they are decoded.

    Its RNG on top of RNG. Either named gear needs to have fixed stats or need to be farmable so they can be mid/maxed.

    RNG is completely random. Thats what the R stands for. Ubisoft doesnt have a magic button they can push every time someone does a mission for the 100th time. And you talk about Destiny....Ive played almost 2 years and never got a Black Hammer. I just never cared enough to go crying to the forums about it.
