I want to feel like I earned something, not like I got lucky.

Weekly limits on things like RNG raid exotics and tier 3 focusing are not good for the experience. What do they accomplish aside from just being a time gate on acquisition attempts of something? I’d love to be wrong, but this feels exclusively like artificial inflation of login numbers/play time. As for raids, the longer the exotic doesn’t drop, the worse the pursuit for it becomes. After like 20-30 clears, the raid has been trivialized. It no longer feels like an accomplishment. It feels like work. All my clan/friends either have it or lost interest due to it not dropping. So now instead of this being an experience with my clan/friends, this is now an experience with random people from LFG. I don’t want that. I want these experiences to be with my clan/friends. “It just needs bad luck protection.” No. The very idea that a system needs this kind of protection(or arguably any protection) speaks volumes for what’s wrong with it to begin with. Please do not make raid exotics strictly weekly limited RNG anymore. The negatives FAR outweigh any supposed positive of this reward mechanic. Make them a quest. Make them auto drop after a reasonable amount of clears, make them purchasable with spoils from the final chest after a reasonable amount of clears, make it a triumph that requires demonstrating basic knowledge and efficiency of the raid’s mechanics. Something, ANYTHING, is better than a lottery where you can only buy three tickets a week.

    Drop rate should increase every time you beat it by maybe like 7-8% and it just stacks up. I don’t think the raid exotic should be tied to a triumph.. most ppl like you don’t have stacked friends waiting to do the raid. Most ppl are solo, it should just be a balanced set % that goes up every completion. Or a one and done exotic quest.

      • Personally I feel that a lot of exotics are handed out like candy, so while I feel we should be able to farm as much as we want I would prefer to have a minimal chance at earning something, or at least different stats and stuff to be build centric. For instance if vex could by some means drop with firefly or dragonfly amd you center on explosive damage then that in itself would be justified for countless hours and runs for that version of that weapon. While they are separate games how borderlands made anointed weapons so on top of a legendary you had added benefits that suited your class or sometimes a different one. Side note I think armor bonuses should be a thing. Much like how the new iron banner gear grants an increased chance at prisms per armor piece you have on up to 4.

        • [quote]Something, ANYTHING, is better than a lottery where you can only buy three tickets a week.[/quote] So, would you be fine with the raid exotic being tied to the flawless raid triumph instead of RNG?
