I preface my statement by saying, 1- I'm enjoying the game for the most part, and 2- this is obviously my own personal experience. I feel the need to do this as there will undoubtedly be someone who comes on the thread and says "well I go this and this", well... I haven't. So obviously you can't just give out god rolls every time someone completes a heroic mission or a level 4 CP, however I've put well over 100 hours in to this game since the NY update farming specific gear and have yet to have 1 single god roll. Crafting table is beyond useless as most of the time the rolls are terrible. I solo Challenging and Heroic for the most part, but sometimes try and matchmake so I can ask those I'm playing with for help. I must have the worst luck, or I'm doing something wrong obviously, but I have not crafted, farmed, been given, or found 1 single god roll item, period. That is the one aspect of this game that is stealing my joy of playing. If I'm one of the few that are still bringing this up, it's probably just terrible luck, but I am reaching a point where my motivation to play is waning. Thanks guys, if anyone has any suggestions, let me know!
I'm not trying to be a jerk here, but I don't think you're putting in the time. I have over 1,200 hours logged since late April when I got the game and I get god rolls daily (especially since 10 and 10.1 THANK YOU MASSIVE!!).
The roll quality I have less of a problem with, the actual attributes rolled I do (the rainbows, or 2 yellows on Providence). While I am all in favor of keeping them in the game, I don't think they need to drop a much smaller percent of the time. I think maybe 20% of the time be rainbow becuase there are people out there that want it apparently, 35% of the time to have 2 colors, and the rest be all one attribute. The algorithm could even have things put in place to try to tie those rolls to the brand, so Providence drops with a greater chance of having reds than Hana U, which should more often than not drop with yellows.
But that's my opinion as a player, not as a dev of the game.
This got deconstructed this morning and it broke my heart....

I can understand where you're coming from and by no means do I take your comment as being a jerk. Time on the game is subjective for everyone, so people will have their own experiences. Let me just say that I play as much as I can, and 1200 hours is something that would have to spend another year or two to obtain, I have other responsibilities such as job, family, etc. that can't be put on the back burner just to play a video game. As a dev, I can understand it's difficult to make the game fun for someone like me, who has a total of about 420 hours, and you with your 1200. I do think that 100 hours since the update an no god rolls is a bit ridiculous, especially since I don't need every stat maxed to be a god roll, I just want most of them to be close to maxed. to each their own, I guess. I'll keep playing, but it is getting to the time where I'm thinking what the point if I'm not going to be getting any drops I can actually use.
At 40 years old, I have fewer responsibilities than you it sounds like aside from my career. I don't have any family/offspring and I TOTALLY get that. I know for a fact if I did, that number would be much lower in my case. It's actually the reason I got back in to gaming during quarantine, I had NOTHING else to do. I think your time is more typical of the "average" gamer.Originally Posted by jonnythefrank Go to original post
I think that's a fair expectation, but I am also in favor of always having higher rolls and making the player more powerful.I do think that 100 hours since the update an no god rolls is a bit ridiculous, especially since I don't need every stat maxed to be a god roll,
My only suggestion, I would say to turn your world to Heroic, call for backup until you get a group of 4, and just run Check Points for gear/weapons. A Level 4 (Heroic) CP with a group of 4 often times has the most, and best drops from my experience. It can get a little mundane farming CP's and you can only open each chest once, but you get 2 named bosses at each one. Also by putting the world on heroic, you don't need to elevate the CP's as they will already be Lvl 4.
I get the feeling the game has some algorithms that predict what you need or what you are looking for (based on your builds) and will drop loot contrary to your needs. Seriously. I may not be so lucky, but every time I'm farming certain equipment, I get everything except what I want. Lol. This gets frustrating, and if they don't correct it, I'm done. Obviously, getting the right loot shouldn't be easy, but for now it's very frustrating.
I definitely get it, I tried running the level 4 CP's and running on Heroic... no dice. I'm still getting awful rolls. I'm farming for a couple specific items and they either don't drop, or drop worse than I already have. I had one Fenris chest piece drop on Heroic with all 3 stat rolls below 1/4 value. Needless to say, the frustration level is super high after the effort put in to the game.
