Hey all,
Thought i would post and give some feedback from returning back to the game.
I stopped playing about a year ago due to lack of content and RNG so i started to play WoW again, after a year of playing WoW i pretty much maxed out my char without raiding so i thought i will check out TD to see how it has progressed.
I was very impressed to see lots more content introduced plus i bought a new 4k t.v with the new Xbox One (not that this game supports 4k yet) and thought i would give it a go.
Due to me missing GE1+2+3 i have only got the chance to do GE4 of which i farmed like mad, so much so it was like sticking pins in my eyes
After GE4 was finished i finally had a look of what i got (like to leave it to the end to see what i have) and to my surprise i noticed that i had crap loads of classified gear but there was one major problem, i was missing a one piece of each set to get a full set of six
Now since i missed GE1+2+3 i will not even go into the DZ (not that i am a PVP'er anyway) but i have to go in there for weekly chest, kill X amount of X.
Due to this i get my ars* whooped by players running around with fully optimized 6pc striker and what have you, i don't mind and good on them for getting their 6 piece sets but for me DZ is now a no go for me.... i still go in there though only for the weekly kill thingy and take it on the chin when i get my ars* whooped
Now my problem is i love pretty much only three sets, Striker (missed the GE) D3-FNC (Missed the GE) and Reclaimers (missed the GE) and finally Tacticians, didn't miss the GE for this but the Tacticians i got was really bad rolled and i accidentally re-calibrated a item wrongly and cannot change it.
Now for my main problem, i am farming like there is no tomorrow, challenge mode on everything, world LZ bosses like mad, underground like i live there and for the hell of me i simply don't get any classified drops apart from Banshee (just my luck as i hate the DZ)
As i now all i run is D3-FNC as i find it the best for my play style and easier for me to do hard stuff solo but i just feel the chances of me getting any classifieds is almost zero, it feels very UN-rewarding and a lot of the times i ask myself "why am i playing this, going from one heavy RNG based game to a extreme RNG based game"
I do love this game and think it is very well made but the classified loot in this game is very very hard to come by for a returning player, i understand classified gear should not be raining from the sky but at the same time i feel penalized for not playing the game when GE1-2-3 was running
I know Ubi has said that they are thinking of increasing the % chance of classified drops but as a returning player i feel i have lost out now and will take forever to even get a chance to get a full 6 piece set.
I know some will say "Farm the DZ" but i don't really have time for the DZ and ain't really in any game been a PVP'er and due to me having four children it can be hard for me to group up without asking for a break every 10-20 minutes, that would be un-fair on the group.
This is not a rant, just something i thought i would share as it is constantly playing on my mind as to why i am still playing/farming.
Maybe just one classified drop will cheer me up and give me hope.
All the best
Jay
p.s Back to farming i go![]()
A feel bad for you Man not getting the 6th price. But you don’t need it for Tac. 4or 5 will do. Like before. Barrets/Vig chest. Relentless/inventive backpack. You only need 5 in electronics and skillpower everywhere. A few skillhaste mods and your good to go. The diminishing returns is 450k so plonk yourself in the shooting range. Get your stack then mod your gear and don’t go over the 450k.
Farming out of GE is a total waste of time. Just get your daily’s, weekly’s, exotic caches done and farm like a good un when GE come back round again. The next us GE 1 then 2 so in and so forth.
I don’t know when Striker came out cuz like you I missed 1,2&3.
Good luck
Not really unforgiving at all for returning players. Loot drops everywhere and you don't need to step into the DZ to get classifieds or exotics. The classy sets are cool but you say you don't PvP so they aren't a necessity to complete any of the pve content. We all have lives and such but it's not the games fault you have to take a break every 10 or 20 minutes. I'm on Xbox as well. If you have 30-45 minutes, I'd be more than happy to run some resistance with you and share my loot. We should net 2-6 classy pieces each run, maybe a couple of exotics as well.
Yeah its true that this game requires you to constantly follow what is going on
Still, if you let the game go like a year ago, why are you back(not talking to someone specific just in general) because you have done nothing(except paying for it then making a negative review of the game) to help the devs make the game great again
I can back because I had completed all content and what was announced in the Year 1 celebration was enough to realise nothing else was going to be added for a while.
I was/am in the PTS program and got to test the 6 piece gearsets. But it wasn’t enough to bring me back until Tac and WSP and 1.8.
So upon hearing of the release date of Classified Tac I returned with every intention to brush up my skills ready for the GE4 to get my Tac classified gearset and see and experience this game once again in its new form.
It can’t be that bad as I’m still playing.
I play now for the enjoyment I get and the daily’s, weekly’s and exotic caches. I know there is no point hoping for any other Classified gearsets outside of GE as the drop rate will be diabolical. I have a gun to hope for. Big Al as it’s been called and that’s it.
I will say two things:
1. The events should be repeating some time. Suggest you focus the brunt of your time during those 1 week period to get the sets you want. May have to wait a few months but even if you get a full set you may not have the best/god roll piece you want. I got 6+ packs for Hunters Faith and all of them were electronics, skpower and disrupt res or something like that! So even if like me you get 6pieces you may not actually have a fully optimized set, which is the next step! ^^
2, Getting ganked in the dz (or in LS) is more likely down to the AB glitch that allows you to have all wpn talents active on one weapon. players with near optimized builds are getting one shotted / downed in <2sec. If you dont even have time to proc a medkit or overheal then you know youre being trolled.
So the OP just came on here and lied about his experience and you are calling him out on it? RNG in this game is borked. No one can prove it so people like you like to stand there and say nothing is wrong with it but plenty of people's experience is that the quoted drop rate seems to mean nothing and investing the same time into the game as another player does not reap the same rewards.Originally Posted by RainyAttendant0 Go to original post
Offering to help the guy farm is noble of you but unless you play on your map and have better RNG, I doubt it will help him. I have friends who simply refuse to run the LZ bosses with me on my map because I literally get no Classified drops from doing that activity. I have however had outstanding luck in the DZ. I too missed 2.5 of the GEs and still have every Classified set in the game and virtually everything I have came from the DZ.
I do not doubt that gear drops everywhere (except Exotics, the loot pool is restricted in the LZ) but it does not follow that any player doing those activities will get Classified drops there. The chances of getting Classifieds in the DZ are just better and Massive likes it that way. The problem is that this will drive players like the OP away and that needs to change.
