    Rageihate. I open 48 caches and still doesn't have D3 Kneedpads. My friend open 6 caches and he dropped for him. I hate reward system in the events.

    It does feel like the random is weighted to stop people obtaining complete sets :s I've not been particularly interested in the 6 piece sets just picking up 2-3 bits of classified for rounding out hybrid builds but noticed that I can quite quickly get 5 pieces of a set but the 6th never seems to materialise. I've had all bits but one and multiple of most bits for pred and banshee (which currently I have no use for) and all the bits but one for D3-FNC (needed 3 bits to round out a solo build) which just strikes me as odd.

    Mostly been opening the caches to try and get an extra ninja back pack so I can have different ones setup for different builds - got plenty of Ferro's mask but no ninja bag :s

    LOL at the "random":

    (Ooops have to pause at the start - 3x normal predator holsters in a row from superior cache and I actually got two from the one before that but wasn't recording)

    Pretty sure the "random" is weighted in a condescending and cynical manner towards the player experience and that is a pretty **** way to treat customers ultimately.

    I've opened maybe 50 caches so far and all I get is Nomad, unclassified Nomad, Nomad, unclassified Nomad and the odd unclassified DFC.
    Why would I grind so hard for things I already bloody have; clearly something is weighted here.

    Exactly the same as the last time, just this RNG is terrible. I don't think it's even remotely random. Fed up now! It's ruining this GE for me and I suspect, many other people too.

    Same here... I have 23 pieces of Nomad and no more than 3 of any other set. I did get The House though.

    Ubisoft, can we at least get an answer as to why this appears to be the case?

    There is a strange weighting issue happening here.

    Think the first superior cache of this GE I opened was the big alejandro and had 1-2 other reasonable exotics and a couple of classified pieces I actually wanted so I can't complain too much but there seems to be some really odd weighting to the random that I'm not a fan of.

    I think Global events were an idea being developed in year 1, before the outrage of the community from hearing that year 2 will consist of seasons, loadouts and achievements. I think the higher ups didn't see the Division in such a bad place till the highest levels of management where placed on stream and blasted by the community. It was from that point I noticed thing started changing for the better.

    My point is that GEs were the product of the time before the managers and directors knew the extent of the Divisions core issues.
    I think the GEs should definitely evolve to something interesting, and better than mission modifiers and purchasing caches; that's all GEs are.
