Rivensbane, 1K Voices, & Wish Wall BS

Id like to start by saying that I have my Rivensbane and I'm still disgusted with the drop rate of the 1K and the overall flaw of this raid. Husband and I conquered Petras Run together. I got to pop my shiny new Rivenabane seal. He didn't. The only thing holding him back is, you guessed it, the 1K. Its pretty disheartening to have worked on this seal together and we can't have it together, even though we EARNED it together, solely because of RNG. Every week we do 3 keys for him AND we sherpa a full run for a newbie in the clan. The newbie gets it. Everytime. Its a running joke at this point. (I'm CONVINCED that there is an algorithm to this). Except the joke isn't funny anymore. We know this no-effort 'guardian' who's NEVER done a full start to finish Last Wish [b]and he got the 1k from just farming keys every week[/b]. [b]Not a SINGLE start to finish Last Wish run.[/b] (We tried to sherpa/teach him and he gave up half way through). Meanwhile, my husband sherpas and helps out where he can and still can't get it to drop. That's just ONE example. I don't care if you're that newbie who got it on their first run. If you completed the entire raid, you're good in my book. However, Bungies system is extremely broken and flawed. [b]First: There should have been a stipulation on the Wish Wall. You can't wish to any checkpoints until you have completed AT LEASE ONE FULL Last Wish run, or have reached that specific checkpoint. (Ex: You and your team make it to Vault, but the week ends. Next week, you can wish UP TO the Vault encounter). Isn't that how most games work? Can't go to a checkpoint you haven't reached yet? What other game or raid do you know of where you can just WISH to the boss without ever getting up to it first?[/b] [b]Second: Petras Run should have rewarded the 1K upon completion and popping the triumph. Period. Its horseshit that there are people who haven't even done a full Last Wish and are running around with the 1K, but the guy who's done a Petras can't get it. Complete BS BUNGO. [/b] I know there are many of you out there who are in the same boat and I feel terrible for you all. You worked so hard and have nothing to show for it, meanwhile people no-effort their way through and get it. I doubt Bungie will do anything about it, but let's hope that in the future this BS doesn't happen again. Good luck to everyone still struggling to get it. It must be really discouraging for Destiny veterans and sherpas like my husband who keep getting shafted left and right. [spoiler]I love Destiny as a game and as a story, but EFF YOU BUNGIE.[/spoiler]

  • 1st off, 1k should never be guaranteed. Only 1 out of 8 seals are NOT RNG, so everyone has a problem getting something to finish a seal, but you don't see people crying like you about any other seal. If you want a game that is not RNG based, go play Call of Duty or Halo or CS:GO, cause then you can have your guaranteed ways of getting every gun. The whole point of 1K and Anarchy's RNG is that they are so powerful and unique, not everybody should have them because that would ruin how unique they are. You are what we hardcore players call a 'cry baby casual' who runs around screaming "Buff the chances to get this!" or "That gun is too powerful!" and then blame Bungie when you don't get your way and ruin the game more and more as a result. A 1/10 chance is far more than enough for a gun THAT powerful. You are someone who thinks that they are entitled to a gun, however you are not entitled to anything. Nobody is entitled to the 1K or Anarchy except World's First team who actually did something monumental: Clear the raid before anybody else. Petra's Run should not guarantee 1K because companies would farm that for money, which is exactly what happened to Outbreak Prime in D1. Have a six man team run through the raid, stopping just before they kill the boss, then swapping out one member for a paying person so they can get the quest (or in 1K's case, the full weapon) with no effort. This would stagnate the gun in a matter of weeks. Also, in response to your gripes with the Wall of Wishes, you don't HAVE to enter a wish. It's just a convenience for players who aren't very skilled at the raid, or who don't want to go through every encounter. Also, entering a wish does not increase your chance of getting 1K. Besides, even if the Wall of Wishes acted like you want it to, most LFG posts highlight the fact that they are at a certain encounter and need help, removing the purpose of your 'If you reach the checkpoint THEN you can put in a wish' argument, because then people will use LFG to get to the Riven checkpoint, and then use the Wall of Wishes after that (and that doesn't even mention the fact that Carry Companies will use this to sell Riven jump-in checkpoints). RNG is among the most basic fundamentals of game making; nearly every game has RNG, and if you don't like it then stop crying or just leave the game.
