DFA Farming Improvements

Okay. So I'm going to try to type this as constructively as possible without letting my anger for this nightfall get in the way. I am currently 15-25 hours into farming for this hand cannon... I've lost track, all I know is it has been around 50 completed runs and who knows how many failed prestige. There is no safety net for finding this gear and some people are up in the 80s of running the nightfall with none found. I have a few suggestions. 1. Do what overwatch does, every time you open a loot box with them, it counts up to 30, whenever you find a legendary it resets, if you open 29 boxes with no legendary, that 30th is guaranteed to have a legendary, i feel this could work with nightfall gear, after 29 runs, if you don't have it, you're guaranteed to find it! 2. Make it an automatic drop after a score amount (75k probably), I have seen people hit a score of nearly 120k and not find it, this is ridiculous. 3. Add in an increasing chance every run you do to get it, 0.3% chance every run would provide a 3% chance increase after 10 runs, 6% after 20, and so on, this would create a snowball effect so that eventually you will get it. Either way, something needs to change, some people are lucky enough to find it within 10 runs, most are not. You have constantly made changes to D1 and D2 to appeal to hardcore 24/7 players and the ones who play only on the weekends, this nightfall loot has the potential to take WAY too much time, especially since it is not always available to be found. I beg of you, PLEASE help us out. This is making the game feel like a chore for me and it is becoming not fun, I'm not asking for the drop for free, just someway to assuredly get it within 30-40 runs.

  • I think getting above a certain score should guarantee the NF item with the score varying for each strike. For example this week if you break 120k or 140k points it would drop guaranteed

  • God man there is some proper cry babies on this forum, we asked for a grind and got it. If you don't understand what an RNG based loot game is I'd suggest you play something else. You may never get it...that's just how the game works.

        This is why I don’t ever commit to farming anything that hard. Just do a few extra nightfalls on the side. If it doesn’t drop, oh well, there’s next time. It’s a good handcannon but it’s not going to be significantly better than whatever you’re using now. If the grind is feeling like a chore, stop doing it. That said I preferred D1 (what a surprise) where any strike could drop strike loot with the NF having an increased chance. Skeleton keys were the right idea. Grinding the NF gets boring for me after like 5 runs max and then I stop.

      • I got two in a row after 10 runs. Stop whining, it's meant to be random, that means not every gets it. The opposite of guaranteed.
