Greetings All this is Sorvel_64,
This is a calm rant. With that, feel free to continue.
When I first saw the Cursebreaker Seal and the Medallion that was offered with it, I was extactic. There was something in D2 I was really hyped to grind for. (I've always been loyal, at heart, to the Queen, never the Vanguard). So it was really awesome to see the City and see a nice reward.
I was [b]really[/b] hyped.
My clan isn't all that active and I'm not the best at asking for help. So I did what any crazy player would do for something they wanted. I went after it.
And I did it alone.
I pursued and grinded out each Challenge required for the title [b]on my own[/b] even the Shattered Throne. My first solo clear was at barely 650 Light. My first goal bring the bow (I had my sights set on it before Forsaken dropped). Even got some help to quickly walk me through the Morgeth encounter for the one Corrupted Egg I couldn't get by my lonesome.
Eventually I got all the collectables, the Sparrow, then the Ghost. Even did the Corrupted Nightfall on my own. Until I had only one thing left.
The Pallas Gallot. The ship from the Shattered Throne.
After I was able to clear the Dungeon on my own back in September, I made sure to never miss it, and was always diligent to complete it.
Even saw Bungie increase the drop chance in March.
I watched my friend get it on their first run with me. And I was left hoping. And hoping.
Well. As some of you may know, there's an experation date for the Cursebreaker pin. August 27th. End of this month.
I just finished my run and once again, was left with nothing.
No ship.
I'm extremely frustrated that something I worked months for. Blood, sweat, and tears for something I was truly dedicated to more than any other thing in Destiny...well, I have nothing physical to show for my dedication to the City I actually love. If I had to play through the Throne countless times I would have in the same week. But its a one time deal on each character. And I'm busy enough I don't have time to keep all my characters up to date. Only my main.
Yes, I could say it isn't fair. On the other hand I can call it poetic justice. I guess it serves me right, if this Hunter is so loyal to the Dreaming City, then he is to be cursed to repeat the same activity every week. To be lead on a false hope that there would be an end in sight. A sweet reward of freedom from the endless cycle.
Yes, without a doubt I'll get my Cursebreaker title whenever RNG decides to grace me. But it'll be bitter sweet. It'll be too late.
But, I guess, that's just how things are.
Perhaps I should have wished for it.
If you took the time to read my calm vent/rant, thank you.

P.S --- to anyone who reads this
I know this is the nature of this game, I accepted that when I played it, and understood that fully as a devoted Destiny fan. I'm not going to bash Bungie for it, or jump up and down waving my arms in the air throwing a tantrum.
This is just the nature of things. And that is to be understood.
That said. (I would like my Hildian Seeker back one day or another Awoken ship in that style).
I just wanted to get this off my chest.
So...
Once more, onto the breach.

2 RespuestasAfter I didn't get Osprey from Strange Terrain, after countless runs, I just stopped trying. Same almost happened with me and entire game, after 200+ Prime matches, many Reckoning runs and collector's triumph (for which I didn't get a t-shirt code, lol:)) I couldn't get single Spare Rations. In DC my rewards are very skewed, it is usually Tigerspite, rocket launcher, sometimes armours without enhanced perks, and rarely some other weapon. Twilight Oath? Curated? Does it even exists? Of those cosmetics I got only ghost or sparrow, don't remember which one. And I've been doing DC stuff weekly on all 3 characters. This season is nearly over (if everything was as planned initially), and I'm about to be over with grind there. Why play something that doesn't rewards you? Maybe delaying rewards is helping somebody, but for me this is just killing any motivation to spent either my time or especially my money. Bungee wants me to grind more for loot? Well, they have to grind more for my money. I already have enough stuff I won't get, probably never (and no, I don't mean Crucible pinnacles), why bother to buy more? Apparently they don't have problems with money if they don't want me to buy stuff.

You can have my Cursebreaker Pin Code if you want. I aint gonna use it.

Keep practicing son, you'll get better eventually 👍

3 RespuestasI’d trade you mine if I could. I got it my first shattered throne attempt
-
I understand your issue. I have yet to achieve a seal myself and I’ve been playing since this came out. Some items just won’t drop. I met a guy who ran a NF 87 times before he got the drop to finish off his seal. 87... runs... that’s extreme in any game I think. And it was for an obsolete weapon as of 2 dlcs prior too lol.
-
Had the same struggle for not quite as long, I feel your pain. DM me and I'll try to dig up my code for the pin, you've earned it more than I have, and I had no interest in redeeming it.

1 RespuestaI was lucky enough to get the ship after around 40 attempts. I can say wi5 absolute certainty that this RNG is the absolute worst part about Shattered Throne, and negatively impacts the activity. I loved Shattered Throne. I enjoyed running it regularly, until I realised how awful this RNG is. Shattered Throne went from being one of my favourite things about the game to something I wouldn’t have played even once since getting the ship if it wasn’t for the quests involving it.

1 RespuestaGive it his ship Bungie ! He deserve it. HE. DESERVE. IT ! While i can't give you the ship ( which is sad because if i could i will bring the ship into your heart my fellow Hunter. ) I offer you this digital hug from a main Titan, from a Blacksmith. BUNGIE.. LET ME FORGE HIS SHIP. LET ME DO THIS. I WANT AN OPTION TO FORGE HIS SHIP. ( I... NEED IT.) You have all my respect for doing the shattered throne in solo so many times. You sir, are a true guardian of the Queen. My lolyalty is to Ada... But i respect yours. I feel bad for you.... :/ I hug you.

1 RespuestaI do sympathise with you as I only got my ship a couple of cycles ago doing it on all three characters every time it came around. But you have decreased your chances by 2/3 each cycle by only doing it on your hunter. Bungie like us to grind.
