I pretty much just quoted some things from the webpage, and some remarks may have gotten out of hand…
But basically, every single event/activity listed on the website has “a rare chance” listed for its reward, which in turn, disappointed me greatly. The last one in particular has this listed: “may even earn a rare chance at” which implies it is a privilege to even have a chance, at a chance, at a chance, at a reward
Also mentioned how the RNG tends to cause disdain between players due to having things such as “i got it on the first try, its not that bad” types of things appear in chat between players, when people who spend crazy amounts of time and/or money and get nothing tend to be frustrated by the entire thing.
and it still will leave players with a notion that they will never get something they actually want, because the steps of obtaining them legitimately do not exist. They need to add methods to obtain all rewards through ability, not simply “%chance to find chest + %chance of getting from chest” that is a terrible forumula.
example: I just recently got my wind back piece from the last update content. But I had to spend so much time trying to grind loot bags, to have a % chance to get a kite fortune…then get a random amount of fortunes from those to accumulate 150 (at least they ALWAYS gave you at least 1 fortune scrap though, so that isnt 100% bad I suppose) But I would have much prefered to do a scavenger hunt, or other activity, or achievement that allowed me to get this item, rather than it be up to chance. I could potentially be still trying to get it right now if the %chance didn’t like me and drops less loot bags, which dropped less fortunes, which gave fewer scraps…
tl;dr – Just a little disappointed that RNG is in such full motion regardless of how much people dislike it. and it still will leave players with a notion that they will never get something they actually want, because the steps of obtaining them legitimately do not exist. They need to add methods to obtain all rewards through ability, not simply “%chance to find chest + %chance of getting from chest”
Heres the problem i have with this. RNG i think is a double edge sword. Its great sometimes. i get what i need or want and im happy. Other times i don get it and its gone for good. But all in all im happy with A rare chance. This happend in wow. everyone was upset because they couldn’t get something to drop for them or they couldn’t get gear to drop so blizzard tried to fix it and look at wow now its being called Casual because everyone has the same stuff everyone looks the same. i dont want that in this game. i want to see someone with something rare and be like dammm that guy looks awsome. or atleast thats how i want it.
