Drops in this game are horrendous

[CollegeKids]

So not only are you time gated, but after running 9 dungeons today, not only did I not receive what I needed, I didn’t receive a single epic. So in summary, swipe or be left behind. Very disappointing to say the least.

You will use the current T1 gear until T2 is introduced, and that will take months. Think about it for a bit, you are upset cause the game didn't provide your BIS item that will last for months, within the first three weeks of playing (or 9 runs in total, which is 3 days worth lel).

Also take notice of how pity craft works, it requires a lot more than 9 dungeons to make your weapon. That is a good indicative of what the expected amount of runs is reasonable to get what you need.

same as me. i never drop item for my spec, never. just buy and craft.
i bet with real cash dungeon drop something but..im free 2 player

What if i told you you can be plenty strong in blues. In this game traits matter more than gear quality.

No one said this was bis gear, and I’ve pity crafted both of my weapons. But to sit here and defend the drops is diabolical. The end game where stats matter in pvp makes a big difference when nothing drops.

Apologies for the wrong assumption then. What are you aiming for, may i ask? I want to add that there should a super cheap pity craft for dungeon blues aswell, cause it feels wasteful to run a dungeon just for a blue (which could be harder than a purple due to no pity)

Completely agree, having a blue crafting system would be amazing. Or trading in blues for different items. I’m after accessories and gloves. Most of the items you get through the msq and crafting in lithograph are basic and don’t really help with a build.

I do agree traits on blues are better than some epics. But when you have poor blues to start with it doesn’t matter much. I’ve played since EA and the gearing and rng has been nothing short of rough.

Yeah i feel you on that one. My epic luck has been great so no complaints there, but in terms of blues for my build not so much. What i ended up doing is trait up accessible blues (like the ones from open dungeons) so i could at least benefit from traits while waiting for the actually right pieces. Its especially good since you can just transfer later and the extra item power gets you in better lobbies, when needed.

Welcome to the world of p2w and RNG.
I mean seriously, I get when people complain about game being boring or has ♥♥♥♥♥♥ combat system and what not. But this? Its like complaining when purchasing Windows 11 that you have a Microsoft log as Start button and dont like that. Its like the most obvious thing when you go into this game that items will drop completely RNG based and if you are unlucky they want you to swipe.

I don’t think it would be so bad but everything is time gated in one way or another. Not sure how many mmos you’ve played but telling the user how to play and not how they want to play is bad.

I got 2 epics in maybe 6 runs. I've heard people say it is contribution based and if you die you won't get as much.

I reiced my dagger and crossbow on my tank and i received my tank equip on my DDler, noch chance to trade. That sux

Man a shared chest for my 2 characters would be amazing. I have the same problem, wrong things on both characters have dropped before.

You obviously never played old shcool mmorpgs where you took months to gather very good gear, cause of low drop rates and long spawn rates competing against hundred of other players for the loot. This game got plenty of blues and purples everywhere. Take them for a while until you get your end-game set.

Killed 100 mobs and finally got a blue sword to drop, but my sorcerer doesn't use swords ;p

Wrong.

Just because something was done in the past doesn’t validate what we should be doing with new games. Flawed logic.
