    But thats why people are complaining

    They already have very potent builds and so the loot feels **** compared to what they have

    I still think a steady progression is important - even in heroic endgame

    Just for info my problem is not the percentages of the rolls, my problem is the rainbow loot and how much of it, oh and lets not forget the mod drops.

    TBH i can't remember the last time i had a all red, all yellow drop......it's normally red-yellow-yellow or yellow-red-red.

    All that I have equipped & in my stash that I can experiment with or change my current build is from TU8. Since TU8.5 dropped I haven't received a single item worth keeping. Except from maybe a few weapons. But in terms of gear, none! I have at least 2 gear items with a couple of attributes that are nowhere near max & haven't received anything to replace them. It's not just that players are already maxed out & won't find anything to replace the current items, it's that even if I want to start something from scratch I'm not able to find something decent or usable.

    This is my case, of course. Others might have the game working as intended. Hell, I've seen players on this forum crafting amazing items. While I consume 120 brand items only to see gear with all attributes between 30-40%.

    The loot quality and RNG is a hot topic of discussion both in our community and our teams, we forward your feedback on the subject and in the meantime we encourage you to share your opinions, nicely
    I'd say it's the Hot topic, and the most important topic,

    Games like this have two things that go hand in hand (Activities and loot/Rewards)

    The problem is the Loot/RNG is so out of whack, especially since 8.5.

    I did a loot run and looted 400 items Activities/CP's/general loot boxes, out of those 400 items only 3 where usable and one of those was a Purple, then broken down 70% of the items were (Rainbow Loot) ie:1 red/1 Blue/1Yellow and out of the 400 items almost 90% of it had stats/Bars below 50% and that includes named items and Exotics, that's on challenging.

    I haven't even been able to max out half a build even with the recal library almost full because you either get 1 bar full the rest a thrird, or 3 bars two thirds one a third way. etc etc etc same with the Rainbow loot, if I pick up an Armour centric brand I don't expect it to be either all yellow or one of each, and that's happening woth all brands.

    Then we have the Vendors not sure why they exist the way they do, I haven't seen a single item worth buying since I finished the WoNY story, incredibly the Vendor at the Campus a week ago had all purples 100% purple inventory WHY?

    Also where is the less loot better quality they pronounced (told everyone)? from what I have seen it's just junk after junk after junk.

    Then we have Cassie on a timer , yet even the named items she sells are not exactly top notch.

    I'm not going to tell anyone how to do their job but I will say something needs adjusting or sorting, before more people get dissolutioned with it and move on.

    The devs have a cracking game with tonnes of stuff to do but people want rewards for doing the stuff (that's looter shooter territory)

    OH! and PS: I now play more on my level 30 non WoNY character, because the loot is good and I can progress with builds, something I cannot do onmy level 40 WoNY character.

    PPS: The first 5 items iv'e looted today since iv'e signed in are all Rainbow one of each colour loot.

    I think that when you look at just how much power is locked behind SHD Watch levels, and then add the sort of loot that the game's hardest content is routinely dropping then it's hard not to see all of it as a deliberate drag on the player. So it's an anti-progression system more than it is a progression system.

    Obviously all progression systems try to pace that progression but what is happenning in this game seems to be more about pacing the limited content in the game at end-game. It should be noted that we cannot state that this game lacks content as there is a huge amouint of it, but its replayability level is low once you reach end-game.

    So it's a natural consequence of a limited end-game and the need to keep the playerbase active in order to placate some bean counter somewhere. I would just say to that bean counter that that mechanic has no longevity and ultimately will have the opposite effect of killing off a playerbase that feels as though they are being led by the nose to scraps from the table.

    Guys don,t beat yourselves up over the crap loot , If you can get through heroic or higher your gear is ok , Just enjoy the game any good loot that drops is a bonus ,, lets face it in a couple of months or so they will change it all again and most of todays top gear will be worthless ..... If Anyones getting really frustrated with the game just walk away for a bit , break the addiction ,,,

    I have been grinding for the tardigrade chest piece for months with no luck. I wouldn’t say I wanted to uninstall the game but I did jump into stranded deep for about a week. I came back to try the new global event and bang! the first mission drops the tardigrade.
    So maybe play something else for a week then come back.

    That or it's gear brands with stats and talents that drop with useless rolls more than they do with what should be more common on them..
    I've been trying to put together a good marksman build for over a month now.. I can't find pieces to make it even challenge mode worthy..
    Arialdi, that comes with Marksmen rifle dmg, Headshot dmg and damage to armor, or Providence with headshot dmg, crit hit and crit chance dropping two yellows and a skill talent more times than not..

    between the low percentages and the opposite attributes and rainbow thrown in as well.. it makes it to where it's almost not even worth thinking about making other builds..
    I'm still trying to get the ones I have made to where they can get me out of challenge mode and a foot in the door to heroic..
    That's been over a month now of just pure crap..

    I don't even bother junking it anymore..I just leave the crap on the ground..
