    I'm assuming you realize 80% of 15 is 12 - so you're saying you got literally zero pieces with a WD >12% on 40 floors of Heroic Summit? No Armor Cores >136k? You had zero Crit Damage or Skill Haste rolls >9.6? No HzP, Skill Damage, or Explosive Resistance >8? WH>6.5? CHC>4.8?
    you can deal with the #'s on it. I just pick up the piece, look at the line on the stat and if it isnt full or close to full i "loot as junk" as i have no need for it!! I do think there were a few skill damage ones that were close to full on pieces i already was full on so i could of fibbed a little but i literally didnt pick up anything other than "loot as junk" pieces, not a single stat was an improvement from whats already in my library and you are talking to a man who has 1 viable build right now! I couldnt even bring myself to turn the game on yesterday after playing most of Saturday without a single upgrade, not even to my library much less what im actually looking for. Its all good, not really complaining, just agreeing with those who say its crap right now. Next week i could get 5 upgrades in an hour but it would be a miracle the way things are going the last 3 weeks. Ive heard of these droughts but this is the worst one ive faced since they made this game, of course ive had bad luck on certain pieces but lately its taken the cake as a whole.

    Well at least its good to know its not just me, lol?

    I was really hoping it was just terrible luck honestly. I mean I kinda enjoy the concept of Summit's Targetable loot, Like say I just really want Murakami, I go play Summit and set for Murakami and play 10 floors.

    I really wish they would give us the old Recalibration station from Div 1, so that If I got a piece that at least had the correct stats on it, I could farm resources to upgrade those stats to the Maximum.

    Yar, those streaks can definitely suck the fun out. I was just trying to inject a little objectivity, instead of the 'feels' fest we've got going.

    I've been hunting a great Banshee or MPX for a while now, without any success. Instead, I've gotten a nearly gRoll M1928, Tommy Gun, MP5 & MPN - was underwhelmed by the 1928 [hits like a truck, but the low RPM bothers me irrationally]. Hope to test the Tommy Gun this week, MP5's don't agree with me, and the MPN is In Sync [which I don't use a ton, but might try with a Spotter/Hybrid build I've been slowly piecing together].

    I usually take the opportunity during one of those streaks to play a different game or try a different build/style. Right now, I'm giggling my way around on the PfE bandwagon..

    I wouldn't be terribly surprised if Optimizations show up after Season 4 & Nightmare. Gives a new grind target and quiets the loot rumblings.

    I need a secondary game right now for sure. Tired of all of my games though and thats what brought me back here and i was having a good time for a few weeks but not so much the last few. Itll get better im sure, i really just need to concentrate on a different build and i bet what i need for my current will drop but i know in the end, i always come back to my skill build so most times i cant make myself put something else together knowing full well I wont use it but for a day or so or in a very specific instance. Like i had to put together a build to kill the hunters but thats literally the only time that build will ever be used. This game will always be a love/hate relationship.

    If they bring over the Optimization Bench from Div 1 hopefully textiles will be one of the currencies used to improve your gear.

    I too need a secondary game, i was playing Ghost Recon Breakpoint but hit a brick wall, needed to buy the expansions and i'm broke right now saving to buy 3 x Xbox Series X + 3 x New Headphones + 3 x Xbox Live renewal subscriptions.

    Tried playing a Golf Game (yes i'm that bored) and i got thrashed

    My sons keep telling me to play COD but it ain't my thing so now i'm spending most of my gaming time watching: Fear The Walking Dead.....

    I started playing about a month ago, loved the game.....then since last patch not getting any loot makes me feel im wasting my time. It doesnt have to rain loot, but when i started I was getting loot (even with triplle god rolls on heroic)...now i can clear multiple floors on legendary and not see a single drop.

    Really sucks, just bought the game and allready thinking of removing it from HD to get some space

    I've gotten some pretty good rolls in the last couple of weekends playing with clan mates and have hooked them up. Then I go play the game solo and drops dry up in both quality and quantity.

    Pretty much everything that is the corner piece of every build I run, has been given to me as a reward for completing something (mission, control point, event) or part of the season, etc. Has always been the case and probably will remain. Thus I always take loot drops where NPCs stood with a grain of salt.

    But if it were my decision, I'd make solo player loot slightly better from an RNG perspective. Because:

    1) Solo play is harder -- and when you wipe during an event you lose whatever rewards was tied to it. Period. But in a group, as long as one group member remains (dead) at the event while they other respawn and travel back, they get to continue. Because solo players can't take advantage (exploit?) the group play this way, and the game play is harder since the soo player has every NPC focused/aiming/firing at them.

    2) Solo players can't benefit from a clan/group member sharing items. It really makes success in the game more about who you know than what you can do. leveling up a new character as a solo payer is harder, takes longer, etc. But if you know someone who is already god rolled, playing with them makes it easier (carried?) and more plentiful (sharing of items).

    Though I play in a duo mostly these days, my heart still has great fondness for solo play -- and the players that are treated not very kindly by this game.
