So. The main reason I continue playing this game, is because I really want the Arctic Proxy shader. It's pretty much the only shader I've wanted for the entire length of time I've been playing the game. (Other than the new Sunsetting shader Eris is selling).
I spend hours upon hours each day, grinding strikes and doing activities in hopes that maybe I'll eventually get it from a Cryptarch or Vanguard level-up... After like thousands of engrams, I was hoping maybe by now, I would get at least one... and finally satiate my desire to be cool looking and wear arctic camo on Mars for no reason whatsoever. BUT NO! The wonderful postmaster has tainted my mail with this revolting Broadsword... About 11 times in a row it seems. Not only that, but they basically doubled the amount it takes to level up the Cryptarch. I have to spend about 3+ hours in strikes to get a single level up. For 2 blue engrams and 237 glimmer or whatever.
I was so excited when I heard that Eva "Shader-lady" (as I call her) would be getting new stocks of shaders a few patches ago. I was thinking "OH MY GOSH! I'll finally get it! She'll rotate through the rest of the Cryptarch's shaders, if she's selling Broadsword and Thunderdevil, right?! Might take around 3 weeks, but I'll still eventually get it!" WRONG! She sells the same forsaken shaders over and over, every single day.
Today. I reached level 100 with the Cryptarch. And I realized. I'm not going to get Arctic Proxy. There's nothing in my power I can do to acquire it. I can't devote my entire life to giving Rahool engrams... I can't. And I'm at the point where I'm going to just stop playing the game if I don't get it soon. I open each and every package from the postmaster as if it's my birthday, or Christmas. Only to find disappointment.
It's sad that a simple cosmetic item has caused me so much grief... A cosmetic item that should technically be sold by the shader-lady if she sells other Cryptarch reward shaders, don't you think?
Please Bungie. Can I get one for Christmas or something? It makes sense... A lot of sense. Include Arctic Proxy in the Christmas gift package? :|
I dunno.
/Rant
EDIT::: To all the people saying "Omg, eww you play for a shader". Lots of people target one specific item of particular interest in the games they play. In this game. Arctic Proxy is mine. So go ahead and judge! Everyone has opinions. But in my opinion it's better than grinding for an Emblem at least, right? *Cough* Call of Duty and all "Prestige" items. *Cough*
I bet you play the game for some stupid reason too. I mean... We're all still here, right? So that kinda proves that we all play for one probably stupid reason or another. Lmao.

-

-
2 RespuestasHold up...
-
I got 3 of them...just letting you know.
-
I've been after arctic proxy and substance 321(?) for a long time. But instead the game awards me with bloodpact and lunar elergy again and again and again
-
I got mine from a strike
-
Editado por Yermo: 1/7/2015 2:01:27 PMSame situation as you. It sucks.
-
Well... I didn't get it for Christmas. Sadface. :c Maybe by next year I'll have it......
-
1 RespuestaI have gotten it a few different ways but don't use it. Stop wanting it and you will get it.
-
I know your pain, i didn't get artic proxy until rank 130
-
got it on rank 4 way back when
-
3 RespuestasI empathize with you. The only reason I still play this game is for icebreaker and the vex. Hopefully, once I get them, the joy of using each weapon will carry me until the next DLC or whatever quest series they come up with.
-
Keep trying, dude I promise you, I was going through the same thing It took until I got to level 33 to finally get Arctic Proxy Some guys were getting it at like level 3 and 6
-
I only play for thunderlord and Monte Carlo sadly :(
-
2 RespuestasThanks for the encouragement..been looking for it I'm at like 71 or 72 x_x so now knowing I could possibly get to 100 and not get it...thanks jerk xD
-
1 RespuestaGot mine at about forty. I'm more interested in the sunsetting shader in eris. It looks beautiful. Artic proxy isn't that great. I rocked it for a little while then just rolled with double banshee
-
+2 tears collected. One from you and one from me. :.(
-
Level 26
-
I got it at rank 36. If they ever implement a trade system it's yours for free. Prefer all black/white shaders.
-
some guy said he's going to sue bungie because he didnt get a shader just saying
-
I got cynt. Bloom, god of war and 2x artic proxy. I got both in same week. I swear RNG is odd. I feel for u... I would be upset if I didn't have It or god of war. Being a Titan.. I never got THUNDERDEVIL till Eva levante sold them. We should have exchange for shaders
-
I only got God of war this damn week. Something I've been waiting for for ages. Next on my list is arctic proxy and revenant (dead orbit already level 9)
-
I have 3 characters, managed to get most of the shaders through the cryptarch level ups. But leveling FWC to get the shader is beating me up, I'm like level 15 plus and nothing most times I level up
-
Got mine on my Titan. Its soo cool. Hang in there bud you'll get it!!!
-
13 RespuestasI know EXACTLY how you feel. Since the beginning of Destiny, I saw a guy with the shader. " God of War ". I've been trying to get that shader FOREVER. Literally ! Red is my favorite color ! Red is life ! My Cryptarch, in total, is about 35 now. My friend got it at level 12 ! I don't understand why they would implement a RNG into a game such as this. I guarantee that they've lost tons of business over this. This is so frustrating. I'd trade my Sex Milfocast for that damn shader.
