Last evening after playing with friends. We got talking and comparing builds. I discovered that all the numbers on their gear is at in some cases double the numbers. I should feel pretty good that I am rolling with these guys and doing my part and carrying my own, but this seemed like a kick in the teeth from RNG. We farm all the same locations. Now in the conversation lead to specific locations or activities where some of them have the best luck with RNG.
One stated TB. guarantees him a great drop every run. Another stated Lvl 4 CPs, almost always gives him a keeper drop. Meanwhile the last guy said for him it's when he runs the LZ for materials, he always finds a good piece of gear and he will spend hours doing that. As for me, I have been using the exact same gear for months, cause I'm not find improvements anywhere and I know it's not Min/Maxed.
So where in this game is RNG kindest to you in this game?
But for you personally, is there a place or places that you have better success? Places that are better to you then others?Originally Posted by Abarth_71 Go to original post
No, it all seems crap for me. Even heroic bounties suck - few weeks ago the boss drops 3 LMG's, following week dropped 3 gear mods.Originally Posted by YodaMan 3D Go to original post
Edit: time played 727 hrs, items looted 19K.
For me it's as random as it gets..
If I spend a lot of time doing CP's,it'll be CP's..If it's running the big crate route for mods,I'll get some pieces there..
Just got a 12.5 weapon damage on a chest the other day..That might not sound like much to someone else,but I've been running around with 11.0 weapon dmg since almost the beginning of the game..So it's an upgrade for me,and I've checked every chest that has dropped for me since then for better..
My skill build character seemed to have a better drop rate for upgrades than my pistol build main character does though..
Yoda, you already answered yourself with your initial post. - Everywhere. For example, I had five exotics and passable numbers these days and I do most of my activities solo.
There is only good or bad RNG, and I decided to focus on the good.
If you got a deeper interest, take a look at this: "Analysing Humanly Generated Random Number Sequences: A Pattern-Based Approach", source: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/ar...l.pone.0041531
And if not, I also fully understand you too, haha.
In my post, I had different players who felt their chances better at different places, meanwhile I felt I got the same junk regardless of where I played. In looter games players will generally go where they feel they get the best loot. I am curious on where that is for different players. In my group everytime we meet up, we discuss what we are going to play, where are going to loot. Some groups there is no discussion, they go to the same place everytime. Whether it be a mission, the DZ, or the Raid.Originally Posted by Neo_Intended Go to original post
