    This game hates me

    Why am I feeling like this game hates me?

    I’ve been grinding my *** off for The House, Predators Mark holster and Nomad knee pads since GE3. I’ve just had no luck at all. All I’m getting is...well...crap!

    We’ve had countless discussion about the god-awful drop rates, so I won’t bang on about it again. I just want to bring it to the devs attention that some of your players are getting seriously frustrated with the “rewards”.

    An example:
    During the last GE, one evening I bought 6 Ambush caches. I opened all 6 and got 5 Ferros Masks. 5. One after the other. That’s just a joke.

    I’m starting to feel like the game is actively working against me. I can’t stand my ground in PvP without having a full classified set. My PvP Hexo build is just not cutting the mark.

    Why was a drop rate increase not put in place when the GE ended? You said it would happen. It would alleviate a lot of frustration.

    I’m sorry guys. I just had to vent.

    And where you got 5 Ferro's Mask out of 6 Caches. I am sure someone got 6 out 6 and completed their Strikers, Pred, or Nomad sets so they could troll you. So in the eyes of the Devs that is so balanced. I understand and I feel your pain. The completed sets I have are useless in the DZ and apparently that is acceptable in TD.

    100% agree that the last patch on Tuesday should have dealt with the drop rate issue. It is ridiculous at this point.

    That being said, do you run solo or in group? You should run in a group if you can. Farm resistance or dz, they seem to have best drop rates atm.

    I mostly play solo. I’ve tried running with a few public groups but nobody listened at all. I dropped a pair of reclaimer classified gloves once. A guy took them and immediately left the group. That kinda put me off.

    *pats zShinra on the shoulder*

    Don't worry, the game hates most people.

    You on Xbox1? I'm not on a lot, but when you're on I'll bounce an invite past you (if I'm not running with my wife).

    No roguing, though.....

    I feel your pain. I got piece 6 of predator the other day and was overjoyed. I grind my butt off too, just like you, and I can't even remember how many crap exotics and repeat classified pieces I have gotten. You'll get there. I only have 4 complete sets: Alpha, Tactician, Firecrest, and Predator. As you can see, 3 are from the last GE where I did so much grinding, it literally wore me out...even then, I did not complete all four sets. On top of all that grinding, my predator has a lot of room for improvement, so I am now farming Div Tech. Plus in Last Stand, when they normalize the gear, in order to keep 9k for the 6 pice bonus, my firearms leaves me with a pellet gun. The thing you said about grouping is so true also. I drop everything I do not need when farming resistance, even though I could get Div Tech by breaking it down. Almost no one in a random group does the same. I could go on, but that's enough ranting for now. Good luck and if you are on PC, we can group up sometime.

    By all means, my gamer tag is the same as my forum name. I think I’m going to take a little break from TD though. At least until Massive announces a change to the drop rates.

    Also, I never go rogue. The reason for my forum avatar is that I just think the skull is a gorgeous design

    Thanks man. Shame, I’m on Xbox One.

    May RNG bless you with lucrative loot!
