I Have Really Bad RNG :(

I need to vent my frustrations. I feel like I'm going to break down man. I've been grinding Sundered Doctrine since Launch, and every run is all armor drops, and never a single god roll, and no luck with focusing either. I've done a hundred expert platinum court of blades and zero god roll adepts. I give up on this game, it's just not balanced, fair, or rewarding. All my time, effort, hard work, my priceless sacrifices, blood, sweat, and tears, see no silver lining, no glorious victory, or shiny keepsake. It doesn't feel good to play this game anymore. It's more stress and let downs then I can possibly handle. I don't think bungie will ever change, and I know they don't care about our individual struggles. They don't realize people want to play to relax, wind down from life's anxieties, and get rewarded fairly in a game. Rather they make the game feel like a second job with an uncaring and stern boss who won't pay you fairly. All we ask bungie, is that you make the game fun and rewarding, that's all. But I get it, greedy corporations only care about numbers, retention, and profits. So you force a fruitless grind to keep player numbers up and sales high. Check your charts, how's that workin' for ya? Anyways, I'm just really really let down. Honestly, I shouldn't let a video game depress me. It's a personal addiction and struggle obviously. But Bungie likes to take advantage of the weak. It isn't right. I need help. I really love this game, and it's a shame how much corruption has been exposed. Anyways, love to hear everyone's thoughts, good or bad, I ain't stressing the negative feedback. Everyone has a right to their opinions.

  • I can’t grind like I used to because of crappy RNG. I just can’t grind for something that’ll either take forever to drop or never drops. If I get the god roll it’s after bungie has neutered the weapon OR it never drops. So either way, it’s a waste of time. I still play the game but I get burnt out too easily now.

  • It’s tough. I miss crafting. Without it I only casually go for rolls I want.

  • Seriously people, stop chasing a specific roll, just play the game, Bungie is going to either nerf, make irrelevant, or remove things, every body who is not an online personality is going to have horrible RNG. For the YouTuber’s, Streamers, etc… they have time, and this means more content for them to make. For the normal people, like yourself and the rest of us we only have time for rolls that have one thing we like, or half (if we’re lucky), so stop complaining, and just play, this has been going on since Destiny (1), it is not changing. Notice that when crafting was a thing, a lot of great weapons were brought in, but a lot of those craft able weapons did not have super great perks to craft for, Bungie just needs numbers, and unless you put more hours into the game you won’t get far.

    • If the game is no longer fun your only option may be to find a Delorean that can reach 88 miles per hour.

      • The game is more rewarding the more casually you play it. Constant grinders are often left grinding long after the casuals run twice and get their god roll or exotic. I feel there is definitely something in the algorithm that rewards taking time off and rotating what you run. Even turning in focused engrams, space them out and the variance in the rolls increases. Spam them, and it's almost all the negative perks in the pool on the weapon.

        • I've defeated 920 of the court bosses so far, yet I've only gotten 2 shiny adepts. The grind isn't fun.

          • You will get that god roll if you give it one more try. Or two. Maybe three.

            • Neo: try the other pill. 🫣 Obviously, you’re an experienced, passionate player…who feels his RNG is really no good. Burnout…overplaying a particular thing, eg, raid, dungeon, or a certain c/p - to chase a ‘white whale’ that never drops for you, though almost everyone else seems to get it pdq?! 😵‍💫 A cautionary tale that I’ve shared before….a buddy was obsessively chasing EoT…he roped me in to help…I gave it a few runs and bounced, it was just not fun or rewarding. He continued, and some weeks later, he gave me the woo-hooo! msg that he’d finally got it! And then quit Destiny. My current ‘white whale’ is Riposte (a certain roll)…and I do the Comp grind every week, get the toys, and insta-burn them. I don’t even care anymore…as my new ‘white whale’ is a certain Redrix’s PvE roll, which also refuses to drop. FWIW: I got the Redrix’s PvP g-roll pdq… My take: we’re all a bit OCD to play these games repeatedly and with regularity, that’s a given! The problem is, it can develop into an issue or enhance an existing underlying issue into becoming a bit more of a potential health issue. Overplaying. Burnout. Etc. These are signposts. Maybe it’s time to stop taking any more pills - regardless of the colour! 👈 Take care! Take a break! ✅✅✅ That is all. Ease Springs! 🫡

              • I can tell by your account that you really enjoy the game! Definitely don’t be afraid to take a break for as long as you need! My friend and I are also doing that and starting to play less! Do what you need to do!

                • I’m with you there. Still waiting on adept and shiny weapons to drop.
