I don’t bitch and complain a lot and have defended the game consistently in this forum.
My point is…
For a “Lootpocalypse”
None of these types of negative experiences should occur…
If anything…it should be the other way around…loot almost too easy to get.
It’s a special event and will only last a short time.
A wonderful chance to leave a good taste in folk’s mouth.
Kinda like the special weekend in the Hammerlock DLC of BL2 where all of a sudden you could actually get a Norfleet legit. Or the wonderful “Loot Hunt” in BL2 that lasted almost 3 weeks.
With a little effort you were going to get great loot…it was a done deal.
In Battleborn…for this event…it appears we are still at the mercy of fairly strong RNG.
And I just think (from my experiences so far…and some of my friends) up to this point, it’s a missed opportunity to garrner some excitement for the game.
It is? I got the Voxis core from somewhere in the renegade it might have just been a loot pack I got from there but I could have sworn I got it from him
I just have to say: thank you for the completeness of that response! While I’m sorry you’re disappointed in the event, I’m happy that we can agree to disagree and not be at each other’s throats <3
Uhhh… Pretty sure legendaries can only come out of Faction, Epic, and Legendary loot packs (Factions have a tiny chance to drop one of the faction specific pieces; Epic has a chance to upgrade the epic drop to a legendary from any of the loot packs; Legendary has 1 guaranteed and I think a chance for a 2nd from any of the loot packs) and I have never seen or heard about any of those dropping.
Maybe you got it right after a Renegade run when you bought a Faction/Epic pack?
My drop chances are OKAY. Im not guarnteed a legendary, but i have gotten a few here and there. I’ve also had decent luck on the Sabetour. I even managed to get o’l Foreman Grall to pass up those Boots of the Brute!
I wish i’d’ve gotten the Chrono Key, Alamo-7, or Oath of the Sustained by now.
Finally got some luck with some runs last night. We got Vyn’s Quiver twice doing The Sentinel twice in a row. My first drop had pretty good, but not max, stats (the overall drop rate is still disappointing, but this is enough to make me feel like the weekend was worth it loot-wise. Been trying to get Vyn’s for months.) All but one other quiver had stats on the low side though. Got a symbiotic gauntlet in one of those runs, and the shock pad (can’t remember the name) from Hyllis in another. No max rolls on any of those.
I bought 20 Jennerit packs because I’m looking for a couple of greens. 18 packs in a row with no skins or taunts. Between the last two I get one of each. And zero of the item types I want. Fickle indeed.
My drop rates still aren’t any better than they’d been, but I am finally getting drops that I’ve been farming for for many, many moons. The two Vyn’s Quivers I mentioned earlier in this post, and now, finally, a Stolen Edge of Arcvynnor! (I think it was a pretty good roll, too. Though I’m not sure what the max possible stats are.)
Coincidence? Probably. Giving me the warm and fuzzies? Hell yes!
Now I just need to farm The Renegade and Saboteur.
Edit: fixed my first sentence to make it less horribly awkward.
