    RNG? Still not addressed, not yet?

    Just a reminder, they claimed that they was fixing RNG issuses. They removed quantity, they locked loot behind certain walls, but yet I still await anything god rolled. I understand that not all loot, maybe even most loot won't be amazing or even close. Our builds got decimated for the sake of improvements and yet I am only seeing mediocre gear. I am playing Heroics and getting purple gear that is mediocre at best Even the mods for gear and guns are useless. Playing Heroics and getting actual punished for it. So when is this expected to be fixed? Or should I say I am loving it and it makes the game so much fun and I feel rewarded, so that Massive will fix it within the hour?

    I understand that we have to farm, and if I took that lightly. That would be one thing, but since the release I have been farming. The game was and still is un-rewarding.

    I don't know what level you are playing on but my re calibration library is almost full of max rolls. If you are talking about getting items with all 3 god rolls, yeah that's rare though I got a pair of gloves and a holster 2 days ago that had all three rolls maxed. I frequently find items with 2 rolls maxed playing heroic which is the same as you can then just put a max roll on the one that isn't. My world is set to challenging and I bump CP's to Heroic to solo them so the street trash doesn't interfere at Heroic level when I am soloing. In a group sometimes we just run on a Heroic world to do everything. The loot seems to come pretty fast and with good rolls so there is hope.

    The devs said on SOTG that purples should not be in challenging/heroic missions. They are aware of it and it will be addressed in due course, which is good.

    This is exactly how I play, and my experience is identical to yours by the sounds of it.

    To OP, start on normal, gradually get better gear, bump to hard, gradually get better gear, then settle on challenging and manually up CP's to heroic and you'll be absolutely fine. Heroic world difficulty is just an irritation really and not worth the extra effort, especially when you can manually set missions and CP's to that difficulty when you want to. The constant street level fights when you're on your way between objectives is nothing but a bore and an irritation.

    What about purples on challenging and heroic difficulty open world crates and CP reward boxes, did that get a mention at all?

    I have been playing at Heroic level. So what you are saying if one plays challenging, they will be rewarded for playing easier content. Interesting.

    Well, I guess if they put it at such a high priority and all. I'm sure if you mentioned you was getting all god rolled HE. It would be fixed within the hour.

    I have been playing "normal" missions in an attempt to claim Specialization rewards and jumped into a few Calls for Backup doing bounties and other activities and found a group running Challenging bounties (my first on Challenging, yikes!). I have managed to pick up several GS515 (God Roll) pieces of gear. Not all of the pieces suit my playstyle so I try not to cry as I cull them into my recalibration library. However, the vast majority of loot is crappy lower level (<500) gear, including purple stuff, that can't really be properly upgraded. My resources are maxed so I just end up selling the stuff to make room for more stuff. Ugh!

    It is a definite slog and in the long run the pieces do drop, slowly but surely. Keep at it!

    Been playing TD series for years and the RNG hasn't really changed that much, even when they said it was going to change. So hearing that players that play the hardest content are not rewarded, while those playing the next level easier are being given gifts of joy.

    Funny how none of you use the Time Efficiency & Speed vs the RNG Table....

    Event's you run fast nabbing every drop...usually 5 or 6 in 10 minutes

    VS

    30 to 40 min.. 1 event nabbing ooohh, a whopping 3 items....


    In the time you've done one event, I've done 3 to 4 events, essentially quadrupling your haul....

    And if RNG favors me, which it does once in a while....

    I blow your "OOH I RAN HEROIC BS" into the water....

    RPG's are Efficiency & Speed vs Hard & Slow.....

    You should be choosing the first....it rolls your RNG tables faster...

    Get with the times....

    FYI, GOD ROLLS ARE ALL 3 STAT's ON AN ITEM MAXED!!!

    NOT One Stat...that's a PERFECT or a MINOR!

    NOT Two Stats...that's a DOUBLE PERFECT or a MAJOR!

    Jeesh!
