Took me over 260 strikes to get the original hopscotch
English

Thats why rng isn't a great system, I loved hopscotch in D1 but got so many from poe it got annoying, yet friends struggled to get 1.
-
Wasn't hopscotch a PvP reward from crucible?
-
It dropped from dragon strikes and Poe 28 originally, not pvp
-
I feel you... I didn’t count how many strikes it took, but it was over a week of ~6 hours a day doing strikes.
-
No wonder. The hopscotch pilgrim wasn't strike specific loot.
-
Well, it originally dropped from dragon strikes and Poe 28, close enough to strike specific. Point is RNG is RNG!
-
Oh, and it dropped from ANY STRIKE in the playlists. That's not what is meant by strike specific. When, in D1 and D2, items are referred to as "strike specific" that means that particular item drops only from one or two particular strikes. In D1 the darkblade's spite fusion rifle was specific to "the sunless cell." You could play it over and over until it dropped. The hopscotch pilgrim was never considered a "strike specific" reward. It was an item that dropped from a pool of items available by playing any strike. Very different. In D1 you could choose the strike you want to play. In D2 you're on a playlist. Once Tuesday rolls around again, you can't choose to play Tree of Probabilities since it's on a playlist. Players who've been farming it as the nightfall will have to wait until it's the nightfall strike again. Bungie has messed up again.

Duh, I know what strike specific means. Here will this make you feel better. I was simply saying that you whiny bitches need to stop being whiny bitches. You can't have everything you want every single time with minimal effort. Sometimes you have to keep going until you get it. Sometimes you have to run 260 strikes to get the weapon you want. Instead of being whiny little bitches, keep going until you get what you want if you want it that bad.

That was extremely immature. You're losing a debate so you resort to personal insults. There are people who respond to any criticism or negative feedback with insults or general dismissive comments such as "RNG is RNG." It is meant to upset the OP, make him/her look foolish and discourage criticism even if it's presented without disrespect. In the end it doesn't help Bungie and it doesn't help you either.

In a game, RNG is programmable. It is achieved with coding and math. Therefore [b]controlled[/b] by the developer. It is not at all like flipping a coin, rolling dice or shuffling cards irl. At this point in the game, with the dwindling amount of active players, the poor morale of players who are active, is it a good idea to announce an activity-specific reward and make it [b]ultra rare[/b]? Bungie has been going from one extreme to another. Either raining from the skies or super-ultra-rare. They have balance issues throughout the game. So since randomness with anything that is programmed into a computer such as video games is designed mathematically and therefore under the control of programmers- What exactly is your point when you say: "RNG is RNG," Do you mean it's like an event that occurs in nature like the weather and nothing can be done about it? Bungie has adjusted drop rates before. Or do you mean that it's Bungie's idea of RNG, and nothing can be done to improve Bungie's decisions or mistakes?

Thank god, someone else acknowledges this. My pet peeve in this game is "it's rng". Makes me want to scream. Theres no such thing!! Its a created program, therefore impossible to be random
-
And thank you too. Some people have a problem telling the difference between nature and video games. Kind of weird.
-
It may be programmed by bungie, but the point is if this wasn't entirely clear to begin with, in easy terms, you either rolled the right number or you didn't. I never said anything about the rarity of it or anything else. You simply rolled and got it or you rolled and didn't get it.

So it was meaningless. Got it.
