Seed of light RNG madness

So I’ve been farming The Blind Grind I mean “The Blind Well” for hours and hours and hours for Seeds of light, so I can enjoy my two other supers right? Well no. Because you have to pray to the RNGesus to give you one. Ridiculous. Until I get one I will be more sour than a unripe green apple.

  • My issue is the vaugeness of getting them. 1) Do IO mission 2) Teir 2 or 3 Blind well 3) Gateway between world bounty during petra at rhesilva (max curse) 4) Khali the corrupted in the raid. So my warlock and hunter got 2nd seed first go from blind well 3 and 2 respective... On first go! By chance my warlock got to the dreaming city on the max curse week, but he didn't get to go to queen's court for the last seed. Oracle gift gave a chest only... My titan, however, didn't get a 2nd seed from blind well drop... He got it from queen's court. So now I fear he can't get the drop from the well now... The seed does make getting new supers special... But I really don't think I'll ever get my third seed which is a really bummer.

  • Ditto - this is a really bad decision by Bungie. Who on Earth thought that this was a good idea? How is it that after circa 4 years Bungie still cannot manage to gauge what is correct in the simple matter of acquiring our Guardians additional Supers. I wonder if this was this was born post-summit. Unbelievable.

  • Yea man, like I understand destiny being the game it is, and having the grind and such, but I've don't T2 well of light around 30-35 times at this point and haven't gotten a SINGLE seed of light, and it's the most frustrating stuff because something like a super or new class tree shouldn't be locked behind rng like that. Plus it's an absolute headache trying to find people to do it with you

  • Why not quit whining and keep grinding it’s not supposed to be easy, god forbid everyone complains about loot boxes and micro transactions in video games, destiny is one of the biggest games where those kind of things are totally unnecessary to progress and what do we get? People complaining about how hard it is to earn things so yeah keep whinging and pretty soon you won’t have to grind for it at all it’ll only cost you $9.99

      • Agree way too much with you. I don't have many people to play with because of time restrictions and I really want to try all three warlock supers but I guess no, screw you for paying $40 to enjoy the content. I get locking some stuff by RNG: guns, armor, etc. But Why in the Hell are SUPERS locked behind it? It is literally our basic character progression. Add to that the headache that it is to find people to Blind Well with. Tired of going in and out of the blind well to find people doing it. And after they finally get a seed of light, they just leave. So I have to start the whole cycle again. Played for hours, still no seed. This is ridiculous and very poor design just to get people to grind. There are other things to grind for and SUPERS should not be a part of it.

        The problem with locking /character/ progression behind RNG is that by pure reality of the physics at hand, it is possible for thousands of players to play the events hundreds of times and never get it to drop. The additional reality is that these players will not actually play hundreds of times, if they don't get something about eh say 30 rounds, they're just going to stop trying. I was excited that they were bringing random rolls back, even knowing that yes, of course, there's someone who's going to end up with a shotgun they can use as a sniper. People will keep playing searching for their perfect shotgun or hand cannon. They will not keep playing and playing just trying to get their subclass to unlock. What they did in vanilla d2 was neat, you find an artifact with power and you have to do things to empower it and unlock your super... Arbitrarily locking them behind an end game event is not wise. Those who are defending this action. You're what nearly killed this game. Listening to your trash about "oooh you just want things given to you" is why the game became a joke to the entire industry, an example of what not to do, and what not to be. People don't mind working for something. But you should never, ever, lock the base progression behind end game events. What they could have done, to actually make the process enjoyable, is have a story driven quest that you had to buy from Xur each week, once per account, not once per character. Is this the week you want to unlock your spectral blades or is it the week you want a giant freaking hammer? Had each super have it's own story powered mission to unlock... But nah. Ya'll want lame, mindless dribble where just unlocking your own abilities is locked behind CHEATING in a public event. And yes. While bungie has stated they planned to have people wander into these events and encourage them to join, they have also said that gaming the system to allow 9 players into an instance so the max levels could be completed within the first 30 days is considered an exploit, and they view you as a cheater. So. Congrats. If you got your seeds by rigging in 9 players into one instance? Bungie says you're a cheat. I hope that feels good. Being a cheater. Putting it behind a mission, once a week, would have added a reason for every player to come back for at least 9 weeks to unlock all the supers and then level them. But instead, you're all cheaters who got a false leg up on legit players, by cheating. According to bungie. One of these days Bungie is going to realize listening to you is damaging them financially. Hopefully it's soon.

        • Seed of Light should NOT be a grind or up to RNG. Even if it’s a weekly thing, I think that’s not great either. I want to try the other 2 warlock subclasses but I guess I have to wait another 2 weeks for that. Are they trying to make the game last longer or something? If so, that’s a cheap way to do it.

        • I feel like Forsaken's done just a bit too much to gate content off from people who have classes, jobs, families, etc. and don't have large amounts of time to devote to the game. Bungie seems to be pandering to the hardcore players who can play the game 8 hours a day. At the same time, for people who only have 8 hours a week, they're throwing crumbs in the form of daily and weekly challenges with "Powerful" gear. But then that gear may be crap due to random rolls. Then it requires a lot of farming to even infuse that into the other useful gear you have. Core things like Subclass Attunements being tied to the Blind Well is ridiculous. It should have been a matchmade activity. Can't wait until the Annual Pass stuff comes out and the paid DLC consists almost entirely of endgame-level stuff that mandates LFG, RNG, and a ludicrous time investment.

        • Never... NEVER ever lock progression behind RNG! Unless the drop rate is pretty generous, it's almost always a bad choice.

          • Personally I dont think this should be locked behind this type of activity, the abilities is a core element and should be done by quests not events, and that is my only major dissagreement with the new dlc yes I have little gripes etc but I do enjoy the grind however to lock the super abilities is not a great idea in my mind. I really hope this changes and soon too.

            • I’m pretty sure you can only get one per character from blind well. The third seed is obtained elsewhere. We don’t know where yet though.

              • Made a second Titan just to upgrade to a different subclass, then later as I was running Blind Well on my main, people entered and we finished a Tier 2. Got the Seed drop right after completion, not from opening the chest. I have 2 new subs on my main, 1 on my side character. It’s the way I got the triumph and enjoy all three.

                • I got one first try. I don't even know if it's possible to obtain more than one afterwards. Most likely will require tier 3.

                  And people already were mad when they assumed it's locked behind timegate, weekly resets...lttle you know about Bungle's incredible lack of understanding what's fun and what's not in a game. As they already proved with s****y mw-cores for infusion. Just smh.

                  • We don’t even know the mechanics for the seed thing yet. It could be time gated (which I’m ok with since it gives me time to mess with the new super I’ve earned for just playing 1hr or less of the new stuff. In the mean time I’m more interested in leveling my gear up and getting that elusive helmet from Gambit. Let’s not lose our heads and wait. No one has any clue how all of it is going to work for the time being until at least tomorrow/Tuesday. Then we can get our pitchforks out if it is RNG gated. Until then, just wait and choose wisely next time.
