The "grind" for paradox amplifiers is ridiculous.

Heroic adventures are annoying to solo with the stupid nightfall modifiers, and they're only on Mercury for some dumbass reason. PvP isn't even an option, because of how bad it is. Doing hundreds of strikes is the only other way to get them. This isn't FUN.

    • Is there anywhere that shows/explains what the modifiers are each week other than trial and error?

    • The grind isn't that bad. Especially doing it in strikes. Grab some buddies and make a night of it. I filled my engram cache with all 10 slots multiple times. Combine those, with all the vanguard tokens and gunsmith materials. You have engrams for days along with the amplifiers. Masterworks were dropping like rain. And use those Strike boosts. Typically I got 2 amplifiers a strike and the legendary engrams offset the 10 shards you paid for the boost.

      [quote]Heroic adventures are annoying to solo with the stupid nightfall modifiers[/quote] LMFAO! This is one of the idiots crying over the nightfall timer. Desperately fending off any accusation that he's struggling with claims that it simply "isn't fun". He even asked for the strike to be made [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/232560637?sort=0&page=0&path=1][i]harder[/i][/url] in exchange for the removal of the timer. Heroic adventrures are essentially strikes. They've been made harder with rotating modifiers. Sure, there's a timer but it doesn't affect completion. They can also easily be completed solo. You have what you wanted OP and yet you're still not happy? When will you finally just admit that you're garbage and want to be handed loot for completing activities as trivial as patrol missions?

      Bungie can't please this community no matter WTF they do. Bungie streamlines the game and removes the grind: [i]Community: The game's boring. Its too easy to get stuff. We miss the grind....[/i] Bungie puts back ONE little grind back into the game to get a few weapons.... [i]Community: The game's boring. This grind is too long and too hard. Make it go away...[/i] Unbelievable.

          Before: We want a more of a grind. After: We don't like this grind.

          • Blue ADVANCED paradox amplifiers...which I believe OP is referring to, are hard to get. The green ones are easy. But I made a post yesterday about the blue ones. Played 5 Heroic Strikes and 50 crucible matches and I got one blue "Advanced Paradox amplifier" to drop. ONE! And you need 2 to 3 of them for some of the prophecies. And if you're only getting greens, you need 10 greens to get a blue.... so if you need 3 for a prophecy, that's 30 f_cking strikes or crucible matches! OP, I share your frustration. I enjoy the grind... But 1 item in 50 games/matches... that's a bit much... even in Bungie standards.

              • Yeah, those modifiers making either void, arc or solar effective make it very tough to do solo. Almost no way you're finishing it without running out of time.

              • Like seriously, how hard is it to make it 1 per Crucible match or Strike, and 2 per Heroic Strike or Adventure?

              • I grind the strikes for them,my only issue with that is that I think you should be guaranteed two green paradox amplifiers from completion of strikes. Instead of it being down to RNG wether you get one or two.

                • I agree. I'm on verse 10 now and played for 4 hours last night, NONE dropped. I have one from playing crucible thursday, but that's it.

                  • Yes I agree. I do too find it ridiculous. Why should I grind for hours for a reward I will likely use for infusion purposes? I'm currently on Verse 10 and it's bloody tedious! I'm BARELY motivated to do it. For what? A generic sword that I'm barely gonna use? If it was as good as the raid sword (which I've read it isn't) then I'd bend the knee and make it a priority. My main problem (and I'm sure I'm not alone on this) with strikes is I loathe doing the same strike back to back. And another thing once I do start doing strikes I usually get the maps I don't want! I can't win!! Gimme Pyramedion, the new ones on Mercury which btw I only saw once in 15 strikes I did, which is simply unacceptable. [b]Why can't we have map voting in strikes[/b] and pvp? This game is Published by Activision isn't it? The same company that [b]does have map voting in CoD[/b] so don't tell me "it can't be done" mumbo jumbo

                    • Heroic Strikes will get you two with a faction consumable ghost on for strikes most of the time. Even without it you still have a high chance to get two. Crucible will usually generate one a match, sometimes two with a faction consumable. I personally think heroic strikes are faster, plus more loot but it's definitely not that hard of a grind.

                      • I have found Heroic Strikes to be the way to go - I have gotten consistent [u]blue[/u] drops of Paradox Amplifiers and Blooms too - To me its the radiolarian Culture that is still a grind - but jumping around the EDZ for a bit with a EDZ scout report up, doing events, killing area bosses and nabbing chests. its not that bad at all.

                      • 100 strikes should get you every prophecy weapon. I have all available and im 25 strikes and maybe 15 cruc matches not that bad honestly.

                      • I dont enjoy pvp but honestly its a better option. Doing strikes gets old really fast especially after doing that one fallen strike 3 times in a row. Ill go into pvp and play with some weapons other than uriels, positive auto and try to make it fun for myself
