    I gave away two Houses yesterday...

    Yesterday, running the two new legendary mission on all 4 characters, as well as a couple of other incursions/legendaries, I received two Houses and gave them both away to randoms in the matchmade groups. My buddy gave a guy a Striker Classy Holster as well. It felt good to share... Lord knows I don't need them (I probably have a dozen of them). One of the guys said he didn't have one, and it made his day.

    My point of this is two things... 1) I like the drops, especially with the vendor items removed. I got 2 Houses, 2 Showstoppers and an MDR... those are the things I cared about, at least. It feels much better not getting a Damascus or Historian. Now, if I could burn down the MC Glove factory... 2) Run in a group. Your chances of getting something you need is sooooo much higher. Just let the people in the PUG know what you are looking for. Amongst all the talk of jerks in this game, there really are a whole lot of nice people who are also geared up and would be happy to share what you need vs. scrapping it for d-tech. Swallow the solo pride and group up!

    Did the LZ boss run with a new friend, and ended up getting 2 classy pieces I gave him, and saw he got a Big Al. Now that I've gained a few friends in The Division, it is a lot more fun to run in a crowd. More so than when I started and kept getting kicked out or yelled at.

    I think RNG really hates me in this game. My Excotics and classy pieces iv'e gotten from weeklies/LZ bosses,challenging etc etc etc since the update are.

    2 Ninja bags/1 Bliss holster/1 Ferro's mask/1 Showstopper/ 1 Skull Gloves as for classy gear 1 Pred gloves didn't need them I only have 2 classy sets and that's all I need 1 Alpha set and 1 Lone-star set.

    As for the House still never seen one, mind you I don't need it, but it'll be nice to have it for the exotic collection in my stash so i'll keep on searching.

    Why would you think RNG hates you!? RNG in this game defied its definition. Definitely Weighted would seem a better description. The same old, same old tawdry exotic gear/armor or weapons that nobody wanted or needed, apart from new players. All in the name of keeping ppl pla..... I mean grinding!

    You know it's not in the literal sense, and I know what it means.

    It's a figure of speech and then again sometimes I do really think i'm cursed with exotics after 1100 or so hours and grinding from every source iv'e only ever seen 1 Barrett's chest piece (got one 3 weeks ago) yet from every grind able source and type of loot crate iv'e managed to amass 48 or 49 pairs of skull gloves

    Gotta love it haven't you lol

    Unfortunately for you 1.8.1 is now on the table. If you wanted any of the older exotic stuff, youre best bet was to do the heroic incursions, legend missions and the weekly assignments. The caches you got from these would given you a ton of BCP. And I got some pretty good ones too. Now I dont know if the same will keep happening.

    And yes I know. But why call it RNG? Why not call it WNG? - that was my point.

    I remember when you had to grind Lexington to get the BCP..... my fragile mind has forgotten how long it took me to get it from there. And then they changed the drop tables. Boy did that feel bad.

    Plus - I got a House yesterday and a Heel + Striker Holster today just from doing the daily DZ..... ^^

    Awesome story to see. I'm sure the guys you were playing with weren't expecting that from a PUG.

    Yep, thanks to you I do. I haven't seen another one drop yet, I can't get a nomad holster or another striker holster to fall for anything.
